Hi everyone, I am trying to learn more about Sikhism and had a question about the explanation of the history prior to the founding of Sikhi. Who were the Sikhs before Guru Nanak established Sikhi? Were they Hindus/Muslims that then accepted Sikhi as their new way of life? Also I understand the concept of reincarnation, but does this mean that the cycle of reincarnation started for those people when they decided to follow the Sikh path? Thank you in advance.

There were no sikhs before sikhi, it simply did not exist until the transition of the first guru, just like u did not exist before you were born.

We must remember that these were extremely turbulent & brutal times... murder, extortion, rape & other evil doings and this is where a new consciousness & dimension was formed.

This was a time of no modern luxuries & a complete misery mentally & physically.  If you were not born into extreme wealth or an influential family you were most likely to suffer in life.

Hindus believed in reincarnation thousands of years ago, many past spiritual leaders have touched on this issue.

All disciples were accepted into sikhi as it was the path of true love & freedom and it was seen as a shining beacon of light in the empty dark void.

There is not one negative teaching in sikhism that I have ever encountered! It is the path of the true, the humble & the righteous.

Any path that preaches love can not be wrong!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
