Inderjeet Kaur ji, is there any way that spnadmin ji's old albums can be re-opened? I remember going through he "Birds of Gurbani" when this thread was first posted and found the contents to be absolutely beautiful. I dug up this thread because I wished to go through them again but...

Well, if you're looking for answers from a Brahmanized, literal, skim-the-surface version of Sikhi, which treats the SGGS ji as a book of prose rather than the spiritual poetic compilation that it is, then yes, he would probably be the best person to have a discourse with. Although I think...

Re: Questioning/losing faith I think you seem to forget that alongside all of Guru Nanak's teachings and actions, one of them was to appoint Bhai Lehna as his successor. He even went so far as to change his name to Angad, because Guru Nanak Sahib viewed him as an extension of himself. There...

This is heart breaking news. Admin ji was the heart and soul of this forum. I've never been a regular poster on this board, but I've lurked on here quite a bit and have learned more about Sikhi here in such a short amount of time than I would have in an entire lifetime had SPN not existed. Being...

Admin Ji, even though I only know you through SPN, I will still say that you have gone a long way :) I am extremely grateful for the work you put into maintaining this digital jewel, there are very few, if any, other virtual sangats that are as caring, loving, respecting and informative as Sikh...

Hello Sangat Ji, I hope everyone is doing well :) I am not, so I will just dive nose-first into it: My entire life, I've felt like I need to be in control of everything- from school, to work, to goals and relationships. I would make lists of what was important to me/what I wanted, and...

ExploringSikhi Ji, while I am not as learned on Sikhi as the other members here, I still want to add my two cents, more specifically, pertaining to this bit here: Like Giyani Ji has already pointed out, if you read Guru Granth Sahib Ji, you should not do it literally. The entire thing is...

I disagree Seeker3k ji, I see God every day. Sounds to me like your version of God is what can be found in the Bible and Qur'an, but not in SGGS Ji. What is God to you? Remember that God, in Sikhi, is formless. What qualities do you associate with Waheguru Ji? If Gurbani says that we're all a...

This user probably won't see my post, but to any other keshdari Sikh guy who is complaining about Punjabi Sikh girls not liking the turban and beard, I ask, have you ever considered dating out of your religion and race? The problem I think is that nowadays, a lot of Punjabis don't know what the...

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Sangat Ji, I just spent the last little bit reading through one of Seeker3k Ji's old threads, the one about there being a soul in Sikhi. I have my own take on it, my own opinion that I formulated by the time I was done reading the thread. I didn't...

Miranda Ji, I do not know if others will agree with me or not, but my advice would be to focus less on the exterior and more on the interior. By that I mean, far too often I have seen non-Sikhs interested in Sikhi, and the very first thing they get told is that they need to start keeping their...

Can't believe no one posted this yet :kudifacepalm: The All-American Rejects - Move Along - YouTube Chardi Kala! Used to listen to it a long time ago, back when it first came out. Heard for the first time in years a few weeks ago and it instantly reminded me of Sikhi, the kind of thing Guru Ji...

Tejwant Ji, so Sikhs are not allowed (as per the SGGS Ji) to adopt any child that was not born into a Sikh family in the first place? If you adopt a child who was born into a Christian, Hindu or Muslim family, would you have to raise that child in accordance with the religion of their birth...

Re: Getting started Damo ji, Japji Sahib would be the best place to start. However, and this is based on my own experiences, even reading the English translation can be overwhelming at times. The entire Guru Granth Sahib Ji is poetry, it is not a text of rules and commandments. As such, it can...

What I am thankful for. Well, it wasn't so much as what my dad said as it was what he did. Basically, the way my dad treats my mom is the way I expect to be treated by every guy in my life. My dad has nothing but respect and love for my mother, and that is what I want out of all my relationships...
