    Comment by 'davinderdhanjal' in media 'Five Lessons'

    Mostly aggreable information. Why do we not put more emphasis on Sikh values - they definitely are not relying on doctors and vaccines. We need to know ourselves inside out. The food we eat is medicine, what we eat and how much is as important as what we do - like fresh air, exercise...

    Video Of The Day - Guru Gobind Singh Ji & Muslims - ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਵਿਚਾਰ

    I guess we have fallen in to the trap of catagorising people which Guru's did not nor did they want us to perpetuate. Although I believe we all do it - I am so overwhelmed by the ability of Gurus' to be 'Khalas' or pure in their hearts and minds that they saw the actions of humanity and...

    What is Religion?

    Absolutely agree. Guru Nanak worked hard to deliver this message but we look for the lowest common denominator - in this case pretentious display showing that we believe in Guru's teachings. This stems from idol worship as it means we do not have to awaken our inner self - that needs work...

    Sikhism A German Sikh's Journey

    Read the document with interest. She is a remarkable lady with significant knowledge of Sikh history and possibly Guru Nanak's teachings. Right through reading two questions were uppermost only mind: 1. What were her sources of information (I have not read any of her books yet) 2. Do Sikhs...

    Is It Better To Just Insulate Yourself In Your Own World?

    Very apt topic for something that has worried me for some time now. Keeping in mind the sacrifices our Gurus made for Humanity and Sikhi they did not have it easy or convince all - there were always 'for and against'. By deffinition Sikh is there to learn. Ways of learning may be force feed...

    It Seems Like Almost Everybody Out There Hates Me For Something But I Don't Know What It Is

    I approach the issue from the Sikhi viewpoint to understand Bani - the way it helps its believers. I happen to upset people easily sometimes by accident and others being ignorant of their situation. So I went to the doctor and asked him to arrange a meeting for me with a Psychiatrist. He showed...

    It Seems Like Almost Everybody Out There Hates Me For Something But I Don't Know What It Is

    I have no solution to the problem but sympathise. The issue is very subjective and I feel to make it objective - we need guidance of the Gurus. If we feel disliked or feel guilty - it is not easy to get out of that state. There are ways in other religions where one can 'confess' and be...

    Eating Meat ?

    If this is the correct forum (it seems it should be placed in some general forum as the subject is very relavant to Sikhi and Nature and Health) then I believe the circumstances guide one to take the most suitable course and benefit or suffer the consequences. Personally I feel that...

    Eating Meat In Sikhism । Reply To Avtar Singh Missionary । Sikh Voice

    Not been at SPN regularly - I am not sure how I can view the last reply to Avtar S or what he actually said. I alopgise if I have started on the wrong foot. In my view Granth Sahib has laid out the options on meat and also spelled out the good and bad of each. Both are open to...

    Education: The Only Survival For Sikhi

    Thank you spnadmin, I think we may be on the same track. Like you I puzzle over similar predicaments. I read a note from Rani_vancouver in this forum where she is to spend her own hard earned cash to get some literature translated and she was looking for some...

    Converting To Sikhism

    GodisTruth Ji, Like other contributors I believe you are a Sikh already and a good one at that as you are cautious not to veer off the track set by the Lord. May I add that if you do not look like a Sikh it may be that we do not value what the god has given us in our present...

    Dear I am only human ji, There is a very useful book in English called The Sikh Religion by Maculiffe. It is in three volumes but is one of the best around.
