Sikhs and Me

I joined this website years ago when it was much simpler and pages were not cluttered as they are today. I also made a couple of friends but also encountered some who were caustic to me and dealing with them was quite impossible. I could not be agreeable to them no matter how hard I tried.

I came here because I thought Sikhs were ecumenical and that I shared many ideas with you all. I made this site one for my regular participation but then stopped coming.

Because I have not been able to get along here I am not coming back and would advise other "Hindus" to do the same.

Why Satyaban ji? Why do you adivise against coming here?

I'd leave to, but I feel sorry for other people being misguided by a bunch of other members thinking they are right just because they have a ton of rep/posts here (no offense).

I'm not Hindu. I feel I should leave though because I get offended when some members keep calling Hindu facts that are right "wrong" that are even in the Sri Granth.

For example:
Some of the people say that the gods/goddesses never existed, but when Ravidas was given the golden kangan by Ganga Devi (as goddess) the members twist the words.

This site is going more abrahmic than Dharmic, what it is (Dharmic) and always will be (for me at least).

Because I feel I was set upon because of my faith and traeted with phony respect.

I was back the last two days because of alerts to remarks in a thread about reincarnation and I saw the following and it brought it all back home to me.

"I am trolling a little bit of the Sanatan crowded space in couple of threads as I see them descend in flocks for certain posts only and usually in support of anti-Sikhism myths that have been debunked by Guru ji and such people are trying to link back."

Oh that's our Ambarsaria ji. Do not mind him. He certainly means well.

Satyaban ji, It is your duty to guide people (if you have knowledge and wisdom) without attachment to the outcome. If you have something to share you must share without worrying about how it will be received, without investing in a future outcome. That is dharm, yes?

Satyaban ji

I'm sorry that you feel this way. I hope that your personal experience does not give you a false perception of sikhs.
It would be innappropriate to consider this site as a global representation of sikhs.

Oh this site is clearly NOT a global representation.

There is truth to what you say but I have always considered myself a guest and behaved as I were in someone else's house because I am not a Sikh and I do not wish to be a martyr.

I can share at a Muslim site and be treated better there than I have here.

What you have said about dharma is absolutely true but I am no saint or holy man to carry on here.

I do very much appreciate your concern.

SATYABAN Ji,
I can appreciate your feeling in some circumstaces of sharing the views.
Withdrawing is your personal decision but this can not be a solution to the crcumstances one has to face in life.

Well,Hindu philosophy as I understand is very vast and expanded as it is one of the oldest philosophies. But if you expect that Sikh philosophy as envisaged in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

can be mingled with this you are grossly mistaken.

All the philosophies till date emanate from a SINGLE Source only..Sikh philosophy is all about that.For that matter every philosiphy is common at the Apex of its start.
Like Ganga is purest at the Mouth refered as GANGOTRI but what is the status of the same Ganga in PATNA or before it is merging with the sea near CALCUTTA.
So is the case with all old philosophies. Sikh philosophy being the most recent is still
protected from such an effect.
So I think if you share the Basics and Fundamentals of Philosophies you will enjoy the stay.This is all I can say.
