Totally agree , to me Diwali , Christmas , Halloween .. all come with joyful and fun activities and i dont mind participating in them with my neighbors and friends. At the same time on Diwali doing these extravagances in gurdwaras , reciting Diwali related Shabads in Gurdwaras , Fireworks ...

Given the time of the year .. i was looking for this topic. Nothing against Diwali and i had celebrated till now will continue participating in future. I cannot make any sense though of this fact that this event of releasing kings by a Sikh guru is so big of deal that we decorate our gurudwar's...

Just a finished a book Fahrenheit 451 , which a fiction depicting a world where books were burnt ( made in accessibly ) and the Ill effects of a society that suppresses the written word and critical thinking, leading to disillusioned personalities with the shallow and superficial culture. I...

This is what i analyzed in people around me on how they look at Sikhs and or Punjabis atleast in my network Most of them belong to group C If family is deemed religious then Group A And least focus area is Group B My view is that there need to be more focus on Group B activities. Group A 1...

I think it's a word and it's how one interpret it's meaning thing .. this also made me wonder .. if on one word there could be so many diff way u can interpret .. with so many words and their combination in religious books .. no wonder we have so many diff people with so many diff interpretations ..

Well i can just compare with the historic events that atleast what i know .. like Somebody thinking about if the current rituals in a religion make sense and challenging them , somebody documenting philosophies of different people regardless of their religion , caste etc , somebody empowering...

My take not only on turban but other articles of faith is that , Our ancestors analyzed the situation in their time > Gave their view on the situation >. Stood by it > Adopted these articles to represent one or more views that they had. Most of the generations that followed , only did the last...

I think u can live without religion , so way i think about it is how u know about the religion of a certain individual : - What type of worship place he/she goes - Sometimes from the name - What rituals u do when u get married or born or died - What holy book u follow. - What kind of attire u...

I think understanding nutrition and how it effects body is very interesting .. what i found in last two years of my conquest is that getting feedback on your vitals atleast once a year is good but doing a performance testing on your body :faujasingh:is ultimate test .. for example if u can run...

I think the moment we will start giving importance to physical aspects of things in a religion .. it's doomed .. way i think is our gurus did good work , probably they were highly intellectual personalities who thought out of box rather then following things without understanding why it is in...

I think that is what i tried to convey previously .. Guru made all these things for khalsa .. but just by wearing turban or having beard or wearing five things on your body u dont become khalsa .. so we are putting all the emphasis on roop but the qualities that we need that probably what guru...
