Well,

I am totaly agreed with BKaur. We should love our religion and our self, what we are in side a Pure Sikh will never change and will respect other religion, But
Getting married with out of religion and telling how our Sikh religion is ! it's not fare
It's bad luck, we Sikh change our self and other will never do that
Even in Punjab India, in every house hold you will see a servent, from Bihar and servent will speak hindi and our Sikh families I mean punjabi families will talk to them in Hindi not a Punjabi, their children will speak Hindi and they felt so proud.
We, here in Canada, USA or Uk. these countries we have to speak, read and write in english and we have to learn but in India Punjab our Sikh family change them self.
That is my point same as when we marry to other religion why we have to change our self why can't we fight our self
I hope I am not offending any one but these are my views
Thank you

Nim,

In my eyes, it's a sin or not lets ask you a question before I give my answer to you
After Marriege, your children what they will be Sikh or your partner choice, even though you can say a child can decide but the infant can not decide until they are 18yrs old am I right.
What right would you have on your child tell me
we will be loosing a Sikh family who wants to convert or share them self to others and their childrens

think before you reply back

Reading between the lines in the post above, and the one posted BKaur ji, what I see is more concern for the Sikh faith than with people finding God in there own ways.

So I ask (again) what is so important about the Sikh faith? If there was only one Sikh left in the wolrd why does that matter so much to some people?

Don't get me wrong, I am Sikh, I love being a Sikh, but in all honesty I would rather see an unhappy Sikh change his path to God then forget God altogether.

Also what is it with this assumption that non Sikhs and Sikhs being married will have any sort of problems? I'm married to an antheist, and it looks like both of my children will be atheists also. I'm fine with with this, they will find God or not, as God decrees, not by my will, nor by their will but by God's will.

Lee ji

My above comment can be defined into one sentence. Sikhism is righteous living and a Sikh puts his/her faith above all.

So I ask (again) what is so important about the Sikh faith? If there was only one Sikh left in the wolrd why does that matter so much to some people?

Lee, you ask what is so important about the Sikh faith? Simple answer read up on what the Gurus did for us, and how they protected the Sikh faith, its followers, and the world. The Gurus gave their lives for Sikhism and today a Sikh wants to marry out of Sikhism. Come on get back into reality here. A true Sikh puts his Guru above all.

Don't get me wrong, I am Sikh, I love being a Sikh, but in all honesty I would rather see an unhappy Sikh change his path to God then forget God altogether.

Lee ji, why would a Sikh be unhappy with Sikhism path to God?

Also what is it with this assumption that non Sikhs and Sikhs being married will have any sort of problems? I'm married to an antheist, and it looks like both of my children will be atheists also. I'm fine with with this, they will find God or not, as God decrees, not by my will, nor by their will but by God's will.

You just proved my point in this paragraph. Problem being an atheist lives in his/her Karma. But Sikhs are suppose to be living in Dharma, truthful living. Yes it is at God’s will that all happens, but a Sikh has a choice either live out your Karma and go through the cycle of birth and death or live by Dharma. Its really that simple.

Yes I did said, I can not see...............
What I will do, simple, if i was invited to that wedding and I will not attend second if it's up to me or if I think I can talk to those who wants to get marry, I will try my level best to let them aware off what we are why it's very importatnt to get marry Sikh to Sikh
Thats all

Ask the question if you want to listen, understand and act on it

Thank you

Mr. Singh,

Thank you for your reply. I do ask this question my self, if a Sikh got marry to non Sikh what about the kids, look at Mr. Lee, his children will not be Sikh he has given him self and his kids to another Religion.

Thank you

I would have thought that a Sikh puts God above all. Isn't love of ones religion an aspect of egotistical maya? Shouldn't love of God transcend matters of which path to God others may take?



The Guru's also gave their lives for other religons, and others of other faiths. Ultimatly though theu gave their heads to God.

Please don't misunderstand me, I too love my faith, I just don't see why it is important that every body we come into contact with must be, or become Sikh. Why is it so harmful if my children do not become Sikh, what harm does that actualy do to the Sikh faith?



You ask this as if no Sikh ever doubted her or his path, which is blatently untrue. The more important question though is why does it matter if a Sikh and a Muslim marry and each keep their own faith? Surly two loving beings who are each happy in their faith can be happy with each other, I know myself and my wife are.

Yes I agree with that, and while it saddens me somewhat that my wife does not share my faith, that is her desicion, and I cannot nor will I not, gainsay that.

The problem I have with this issue is the as yet unanswered question of why.

Why is it important that my wife and I share the same faith? Why is it important that my children are not Sikh? What damage does that do to me, or my faith, or my relationship with God?

God populated this planet with a wonderous verity of peoples and ideas, and paths to reach out for God, and Guru ji has told us that the reaching is important, not the path.

True living. As a Sikh, or a Muslim, or Christian, or a Hindu, or whatever, the path is immaterial, the quest, the end result is what is truely important. Do you disagree?

Ik onkar. God is 1. God is equaly in my wife as God is in me, why should I love my wife any less because she is not Sikh? Indeed how an I love God and not love my wife, that makes no sense to me.

Look around, can you see anywhere where God is not? Can you not love all equaly then irregardless of what faith or even lack of faith they profess?

Please Bkuar ji,

Just Lee

I have of course given myself to God, that I have done so by the tennants of the Sikh faith matters not, my children are at this moment religionless. So you see both of your statements above are false.

I haven’t ignored any thing.
I never said we should ignored any other culture we should respect any other culture or religion. But we should make sure not to get influence by any of them.
I total agreed with you, we should listen to them help them in any way if some one doesn’t feel good to being a Sikh. I do want to help or listen to them if any one wants to talk or share their feelings on that.
At last but not least, I am not upset but when I read, Mr. Lee he is Sikh but he married to another religion and his children are different and he can not do any thing, we have lost another Sikh family but some how I want to see how we can help them to see what Sikhi is good about and what our Baba ji has done for us

Lets work together
