Sadly it does not seem that the equality promoted in Sikhism is well understood or consistently practiced in reality. Cultural influences have a huge role in shaping peoples' ideas, and falsely attributing them to a religious/spiritual ideology. From female infanticide, to abuse of women, to...

I don't believe that Guru Gobind Singh Ji overestimated us. The Gurus were all acutely aware of the power of maya to delude us and lead us astray, and also aware that humans do have the power to overcome this. We have the responsibility to direct our lives. Guru Gobind Singh Ji left us with all...

I understand what you're saying, and can agree. At what point through can someone be defined as a "Sikh?" What will make one a Sikh?

Why is this? Can Sikh men understand better?
