I know this thread is a little old, and probably done to death, but as a Westerner and non-Sikh-learning-Sikhism-really-really-considering-becoming-Sikh, I thought I would add my part. I'm one of the younger, more liberal generation, at 22 years old. I studied in college with a lot Sikh...

Thank you for the information Narayanjot Kaur ji. I believe that this argument is not good for the sangat and so I hope it can be resolved quickly. I suppose I can see both sides of the argument, but I have no opinion on it. :D

Not to sound ignorant, but I have heard about this for about a little while now and I still have no idea what's going on or what is being debated.. :8-)2: I know what the Nanakshahi calendar is, but not what the debate is about, so, could someone please explain a little more for me, what...

I wasn't aware Thailand had such a large population of Sikhs :) I'd like to know more about translations of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji - what languages are they available in? Two translations I'm curious to are Russian, Spanish and Hebrew, because I know some people who speak these languages...

Sat Nam! :) I don't know if this is the correct area, since I'm still new to navigating this site, let alone writing topics on here. :) As the thread title says: Can Sikhs say grace over (already cooked) food, or does this turn the food that is to be eaten into kutha? For example, let's...

I'm from the UK. :)

Hi all! This is my first own-make thread here, but I'm hoping it will become a popular one. :) Since I like food (and who doesn't?!), tell me a little about what your favourite food is? I myself am a fan of a simple spaghetti bolognese or pasta in sauce. But, I'm more than willing to try out...

Hello all. Well, introducing myself. There's not much to say, really. I'm a non-Indian and a non-Sikh, but I came here because I'm very interested in Sikhism - and whenever I take the well-known "What Religion Should You Be?" quiz, Sikhism will always be in the top 5 - usually it's the top...
