like how many of the key concepts are almost same in both of them , viz , Karma , Dharma, belief in rebirth , belief that last thought of a dying person manifests in afterlife, etc etc

and the sameness or concurrence of festivals  : Bandi chhor/diwali, Holi/Hola , etc 

 

How do you answer if a hindu brother asked you "but you copied from hindu religion"

This would make me think that I'm mixing with too many id10ts and am having unnecessary convos with them. Keep your faith close to you, and you can't start debating with every last bundha that tries to initiate it. I had a few years when sullay would try and do this, a long while ago. 

When you let people know that you aren't interested in these types of 'debates' with them, they usually back off. It sounds like you love the attention to me.

Except Islam is an abrahamic religion interested more in conquests. Hindus don't , atleast on a global scale. 

Hindus like to present Sikhi as a sect of hindus and trying to portray the grandeur of their 50000 yr old religion and thats why it is important to refute their claims when they say "You copied from us" .

There are clearly elements of cross over from Indic culture in Sikhi. Only a retard would deny this, or someone hardcore brainwashed by the Bhausauria mindset.

You just waste your energy getting into these 'debates'. 

In my opinion the big difference between Sikhi and 'Hinduism' isn't in spiritual practices, but in the social vision of Sikhi, as opposed to Hinduism which is built on rigid caste stratification. Sikhi introduced egalitarianism to the masses. A social vision where one's destiny wasn't tied to perceived caste duties. 

It isn't even worth pointing this out to Hindus because plenty of our own are actually worse than Hindus when it comes to casteism (and smart Hindus will point that out), and we all know which particular 'jaat' is most obsessed with this in our quom. 

Forget outside, we got lots of work to do inside. Plus you being a semi-open, or easily identifiable gay, probably gives them a good laugh when you over react to their ish.

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ

Copying what? Ask them that. Maharaaj has said to us

ਸੋਰਠਿਮਹਲਾ੫॥

Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

ਪਰਮੇਸਰਿਦਿਤਾਬੰਨਾ॥

The Transcendent Lord has given me His support.

ਦੁਖਰੋਗਕਾਡੇਰਾਭੰਨਾ॥

The house of pain and disease has been demolished.

ਅਨਦਕਰਹਿਨਰਨਾਰੀ॥

The men and women celebrate.

ਹਰਿਹਰਿਪ੍ਰਭਿਕਿਰਪਾਧਾਰੀ॥੧॥

The Lord God, Har, Har, has extended His Mercy. ||1||

ਸੰਤਹੁਸੁਖੁਹੋਆਸਭਥਾਈ॥

O Saints, there is peace everywhere.

ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁਪੂਰਨਪਰਮੇਸਰੁਰਵਿਰਹਿਆਸਭਨੀਜਾਈ॥ ਰਹਾਉ॥

The Supreme Lord God, the Perfect Transcendent Lord, is pervading everywhere. ||Pause||

ਧੁਰਕੀਬਾਣੀਆਈ॥

The Bani of His Word emanated from the Primal Lord.

ਤਿਨਿਸਗਲੀਚਿੰਤਮਿਟਾਈ॥

It eradicates all anxiety.

ਦਇਆਲਪੁਰਖਮਿਹਰਵਾਨਾ॥

The Lord is merciful, kind and compassionate.

ਹਰਿਨਾਨਕਸਾਚੁਵਖਾਨਾ॥੨॥੧੩॥੭੭॥

Nanak chants the Naam, the Name of the True Lord. ||2||13||77||

This is Dhur Ki Bani, Revelation from Waheguru ji direct 

Another Shabad proving this to us

ਸਚਕੀਬਾਣੀਨਾਨਕੁਆਖੈਸਚੁਸੁਣਾਇਸੀਸਚਕੀਬੇਲਾ॥੨॥੩॥੫॥

Nanak speaks the Word of Truth; he proclaims the Truth at this, the right time. ||2||3||5||

ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਅੰਗ ੭੨੨
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 722

And another beautiful Pangti

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਕੀਬਾਣੀਸਤਿਸਤਿਕਰਿਜਾਣਹੁਗੁਰਸਿਖਹੁਹਰਿਕਰਤਾਆਪਿਮੁਹਹੁਕਢਾਏ॥

 ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਅੰਗ ੩੦੮

O GurSikhs, know that the Bani, the Word of the True Guru, is true, absolutely true. The Creator Lord Himself causes the Guru to chant it.

So tell them that we believe that this Ilaahi Bani is revelation from God and that Maharaaj didn't copy but Maharaaj revelead the truth again that was lost.

And then ask them did we copy the Panj Khands? Is there any Caste system in Sikhi? Did we copy giving Woman shastars? Did we copy saying that woman are equal along with all skin colours?

And they point about some things being similar like rebirth. If you study it bit deeply on how Karam works in Hinduism compared to Sikhi you will realise many differences. For example the Hindus will say that God is not involved in Karma etc. and that if commit and Kilvikh (one of the four unforgivable Paaps in Hinduism) you can't be forgiven. But in Sikhi (the truth) Maharaaj says that he can forgive even the worst of Paaps. Not everything is the same.

This is a very good question from Bhai Sahib and we all need to know the answers so when we get questioned we can give such a Javaab (response) that they'll be like wow, Sikhi is Niara (unique).

Conclusion: Maharaj has given us the full truth. Some truth is in every religion but Sikhi has the full truth.

goat kurbani or jhatka kurbani  whatever they call it that the nihungs do comes from kali mata puja,  hindus do a goat sacrifice for kali mata, just like the nihungs they take the head, and then place it in front of the kali idol. Iv seen videos of it.  its part of kali puja. in the old days kali bhakts used to do human sacrifice, they were called thuggees, which means concealment in sanskrit, in fact thats where the english word "thug" comes from. the original thugs were kali worshipers. thuggees were a secret religious society, secret assassins.

anyway   

looks similar doesnt it ?

Image result for kali puja animal sacrifice

Image result for kali goat sacrifice

and im not tryna sound sarcastic and stuff

I'd be careful, victorian goray's imaginations seems to have gone overdrive in fear of these 'thugees'. Sure, some were probably around, most were probably just plain thieves, not religiously motivated.

Yeah the goreh liked to make their "adventures" sound "exotic"  Lol 

I think it was religious sect of kali bakhts and probably did sacrifice humans, but yeah they probably did more thieving than anything else. 

Facinating group of people though, I like that kind of stuff lol  it's kind of cool in a disturbing way lol   they were the original thugs, way long before tupac and the rest made thing into a brand lol

    • I know a Rajput Uncle who is a councillor and he wears the regular panjabi pagh. I wouldn't know he is a rajput because coul easily fit into any panjabi sikh or jatt background. But I can tell from his surname.  However when I look at proper Rajputs they were warriors and kings with those kind of paghs, similar to wearing dumallas or shahi turbans, some looked like Nihang Singhs! And Rajput background sikhs were involved in shastarvidiya training with Guru Hargobind and Guru Gobind Singh, as well as becoming their sikhs.    A rajput background sikh has double responsibilities to maintain turban and also training shastar. I think a Nihang Singh type look is more suitable for a sikh from Rajput background than any patiala shahi or average panjabi pagh

    • what kinda pagh are you tying that is taking more than 5 minutes? Actually puraatan maryada is to sit cross legged and cover your feet, tying pagh sitting down. The standing up may hurt your head.  Turban is not a hatm, many shaheediyaa have been given for the cost of this turban. MAryada is to tie fresh each time, and also twice a day. I kanga my kes twice a day and do keski twice a daym sometimes do my pagh or dumalla the 2nd time as well if I am going out. Just sit down, put a mirror in front and there should be not stress on your neck.
    • I was at the Slough Singh Sabha gurdwara last week. I think he was a teen, a tall young Singh got a deep gash wound on his arm from gatka, somewhere near his wrist. He was already on the floor when I entered through the langar hall, but I am sure he did it to himself not through a gatka "battle". I am unsure which shastar he used. I checked and the shastars seemed lightweight for the children. I picked up the khanda and it was light, not like a real khanda. I really want to emphasise that we should not be promoting twirly sword dancing as a "sikh martial art". This young Singh was hurting and gasping - why are we teaching twirling swords around in a way that may hurt oneself?? Promote shastarvidiya savai raksha and other martial arts which are about causing damage to the enemy. Why are we teaching this style of twirly gatka that's detrimental/harmful to ourselves and our allies? A twirly sword might hurt an ally in a battle, and doesn't allow allied warriors good movement around the sword twirler. This also reminds me during the summer, they were teaching some move to kids where you do some spins with the feet and then do a backwards bhangra type jump. I wasn't sure if this was a martial art or bhangra being taught?! Also at another gurdwara in another city/town in the midlands, the year before at a kids sikh club a guest gatka teacher was teaching basics to little kids by making then practice making infinity symbols with the gatka sticks!!! If we are showing off something ineffective and also harmful to the practitioner and allied warriors, then it's nothing to be proud off! If we are going to show our puraatan shastars off, we need to do it in a respectable manner not in this archaic colonial gatka era! The teaching is just as embarrassing as the last 2 decades and I don't understand why we want to promote it as a sikh martial art, to the sangat and to outsiders? the injuries are just not worth it for learning this modern gatka!    "Preserve Shastar Vidiya any way you can."(Rattan Singh Bhangu, Siri Guru Panth Parkash, ed.

    • Bro, as stated above, you can do whatever you want. No one is snatching your starched turban, 2 weeks old, from your head. But what you want is for Guru's Singhs to call your turban in accordance with rehit. That's not going to happen. Also, why can't you simply tie your starched turban fresh every day? (Genuine question)
