I suppose you would have to become a Sikh, Muslim, Buddist, Jain and Christian etc etc and then be able to answer your question........

On a simpler note I think the Sikh religion is a refinement of all the other religions and therefore you are only presented with all the goodies..... exmple we do not pray to idols, we should believe in equality, we pray to God and not say the founders, we believe in being natural...... someone add some more.... thanks

"Why is it in your view the " right ", or true religion, over other ones ?"

Well I cannot remember which Guru said it when asked by a moghul which is better Hinduism or Islam that the Guru replied that they are both good... so if you are a Hindu, be a good Hindu, if you are a good Christian be a good Christian, if you choose to be a SIkh then be a good SIkh.... different methods of getting to the same creator.

could you tell me what is the core message of sikh religion ?


So do you belief in one creator, or in the existence of many gods ?
do you believe, the creator revealed himseld through all religions in the world ?

1. Be good, fight oppression, worship God, live a good family life, work hard, give charity, be a saint and a soldier

2. We belive in one God, the God of all gods, universes and beings. We came to know of him through enlightened people who went on to form religions

thanks for your answer.

how does a Sikh deal with guilt and sin ?

Who is the God a Sikh believes in, and how did he reveal himself to us ?
how could it be through all religions, if for example christianity teaches, that only the God of Abraham should be worshipped, and only Jesus Christ is the way to heaven, and other religions, like islam, for example, tells the oposit ?
Since the views do opose on to the other, both could not tell the truth.

In Sikhism God is very forgiving in many places in Gurbani the Guru tells us that he forgives us if we understand our mistakes. In the first prayer of Sikhism Jap Ji Sahib Guru Nanak tells us that when our Body get dirty we use soap to wash it off. When we commit sins we chant and meditate on the Naam (Name of the Lord) it washes the sins of the soul.

The Lord in Sikhism is the Highest and Lord of all other celestial beings and universes.Whenever sin increases in the Earth there is an increase of falsehood and Truth is covered the Lord will come to destroy falsehood.Guru Gobind Singh ji (10th Guru) writes in Dasam Granth that whenever there is an increase in Sin on the Earth then I will come to stop it, to protect the saints and destroy all evil-doers.

Guru Nanak( 1st Guru) gave us Gurbani, and Naam. Gurbani is the path it shows the greatness of Naam and how to live your life it teaches how to meditate on Naam to reach the ultimate goal to go back home like a drop of water (Soul) going into the Ocean (Lord)

The God that we belive in is the same God that is known by many names: Allah, God etc etc he is without limit - and cannot be described fully

Deal with guilt and sin? Well if you are amritdari then you tell the paanj pyarah and then will how to go in the right direction, but at the end of the day you have to master your own evils to over come sin and therefore no more guilt through self determination, meditation on Gods name and will power

What is the name of the God of sikhism ? How did he reveal himself, and his rools to be followed ? To who did he give his revelation ? What evidence exists, that the revelation is from the true God, since there are many thousands of different Gods propagated in the world, and some religions propagate millions of different Gods, like hinduism.


But it seems he is not very sucessful doint that, since sin and falsehood are increasing on earth ever since.

so how do you explain, that so many people do suffer in jail of many countries, not for what they have done bad, but for their particular faith ?

The name of the lord in Sikhism is Waheguru maeaning the wondorous Lord who dispells darkness. When Guruu Nanak was bathing in the river Vayee and disappeared After three days Guru Nanak appeared at the same spot from where he had disappeared. He was no longer the same person he had been and there was a divine light in his eyes and his face was resplendent. Guru Nanak was in the Holy Communion with God. The Lord God revealed Himself to Guru Nanak and enlightened him. Then onwards, Guru Nanak began extensive travel to spread the message of God in the form of musical hymns. Guru Nanak gave us naam and with it saved us from the noose of death.

Sin is ever increasing throughout the World it is the Kali Yuga (Dark Age). The Guru will come and give us Satya Yug (Golden Age) but at the end of ever Kali Yuga there is a great amount of destruction and"cleansing". When the Guru will come it is his own will. Although the time is soon.

People suffer and experience sadness according to your own karma in this life and the previous ones. Unfortunately Guru ji did not give us the knowledge of our previous lives through all the various species weve been born through and as humans, im sure if we knew we would all strive to meditate on Naam and love it and escape the transmigration of the Soul.

thanks for your explanations. As you know, there are thousands of different religions around the world. Each one proclaiming a different divinity, and different spiritual orders and existences. How do you distinguish the one that tells us the truth, from the one, that is human invention,and does not reflect truth and reality ? what makes you sure, Sikhism is the true religion, and not islam, or christianity, or Buddhism, or something else ? What makes you believe, the teaching of reencarnation is true ?
