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

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

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
