Parchaar Techniques

[Big_Tera]

What do we say when we preech? Ie what are our techniques we use for persuading people that Sikhism is the right and true path? 

Lets face it. If we dont go out and say Sikhism is the true path. Then will anyone bother becoming Sikhs? Apart from those who are quite intellegent and enlightened who will be able to appreaciate what Sikhism is. 

But the average person on the street will find it difficult to comprehend the message and beauty of Sikhism. 

For instance muslims go around making arguements for islam and have various techniques for converting. ie they tend to say everone apart from a muslim is going to hell. Which frightens people into converting.

What do Sikhs have and what can we say to get the message through of our faith. We need something that will open their eyes and make them interested in our faith and beliefs. We need need to use language and concepts that truly touch their hearts and make them connect. 

If we dont think our path is the truest path. will anyone else think that? We need a message that resonates with the masses. Uk is basically athiest. So we have alot of people who we could make Sikh. At the moment Sikhs basically come across as a religion and faith that does not seek or really wants anyone to become Sikh. 

But our converting technique needs to be good. What can we say that will get them to become Sikhs and prove to them that Sikhism is the best faith. 

Ie any miracles performed?

Good Idea. 

That is all great. Ie to set a good example. So people are impressed with Sikhs moral character ect. 

But we need more action. Ie Lets set up websites purely aimed at non Sikhs. Lets set up Sikh missionary and learning centres. So people can come and learn about the Sikh faith. I have already set up a Sikh missionary centre. For people to learn about the faith. I am in the process of bringing more awarness about it. 

Its all about action instead of words.

the thing is, people dont need to learn about sikhi, its like going to a centre to learn about life.

Sikhi is just remembering God, and doing good things in his action, and chanting his name.

you obviously didn't get the memo most faiths have been convoluted, tainted, ripped aprt so the true meaning of life is lost, naam is lost, simran is frowned upon; whereas absolution of sins is carried out by another man who is just as sinful , promisary notes are bought, priests/mullahs/imams/pujaris/monks are raking in wealth whilst preaching superstition to enforce their control . worship is a pantomime and the ranks of cynics are growing day by day ... Sikhi is a deep commitment to police and discipline oneself in thought deed and word , to action Akal Purakh's love to all creation thus protecting the mute animals and nature , the oppressed and poor be grateful for every moment good or bad and remember the Beloved with single minded lovefilled focus ,  not just 'dil saaf houna chahida' .

Gurdwarey were always referred to as Dharamshaley firstly i.e. if you go to paatshala to learn vidhiya  , we go to dharam shaley to learn Dharam so it was always a teaching and learning centre

the question is very hard then, but people aren't stupid give them credit, not everyone believes in superstition, adn i dont think people have frowned upon simran because they dont know what it is

don't take the Lord's name in vain - Christians

the Lord's name is too holy to be taken be humans - Jews

you have to be highborn to be worthy of speaking God's name- Hindus

 Superstitions have been disguised as religious edicts and people have been fooled for millenia ...especially since they were unaware of the actual content of their scriptures due to language and social barriers . So much bloodshed happened when people had the audacity to translate the bible to spoken local languages . the truth of the koran's harsh words when translated is explained away as misinterpretation , same other faiths .

think about it how many rituals in faiths have a base in truth ?  titheing was the equivalent of daswand which was to share all blessings especially the successful harvest with the poor and unfortunate but the church changed it to be money offering exclusively and that was given to the church control structure rather than the people .
