3HO "Gora Sikhs" & Miri Piri Academy - What do you think?

I always keep a copy of SRM in my backpack. I try to read it end to end once a month, but am not doing well there. Here is the online link:

Thanks for the input linzerji.

I'm relatively new to Sikhi but 3HO practices really annoy me.. if I saw a picture of Yogi Bhajan in a Gurdwara, I would forget the fact that I have only been studying a couple of months and I would rip that picture down and fling it out the door. This kind of complete undermining of religion by people who are essentially outsiders, it really really annoys me.

Also thank you Kanwaljit-ji for the link, I have it bookmarked.

By the way don't get me wrong , I don't believe in throwing the baby out with the bath water. We invite people who a 3ho whenever we have Gurdwara here. If a few catch on and see the difference great, if not we tried.

As long as there's money to be made, there will always be sects, cults, deras etc

Still, each to their own, so if they are content and don't bother me then that is fine as well I guess....it's their money, their life

It makes it kind of awkward, I think, for white people like me with an interest in Sikhi - non-3HO white Sikhs are definitely a minority.

Sikhs who follow only the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are in the minority!! I am a Panjabi heritage Sikh yet I can honestly say I am struggling to find a sangat who is not bound by Panjabi culture rather than philosophy from the Gurus, and not infiltrated by some sect or another. Let us not look at gora or brown but unite as open minded thinkers and searchers of the truth welcomekaurmundahug

Rightly said findingmyway ji! Sangat is hard to find. I think we have to get our act together with others, and walk on Guru's Path. Alone we are lost in the Maya of this world. Only with other Sikhs, we can realize what is to be done!

Some very interesting posts in this thread.

Does anyone know any way I can get some form of the Sri Granth Guru Sahib-ji in physical format..? I like having it in my hands to study rather than on a computer, but I know that ideally it would have to be stored in it's own room in my house.. and I can't manage that at the moment.

Any ideas?

You can buy it in several volumes - like that you can keep it on a high bookshelf or cupboard respectfully, it doesn't need it's own room.

It only needs its own room for a single volume in Gurmukhi script.
