This is a strange question.
How can there be convert to Sikhism.

If you have read matematics then the question would be framed as can a subset be part of Set.

To put it it simply how can a universal religion decide to convert .

If it does then to whom would it convert to ?

All living things are product of one God who is worshipped by different names.

Dear brother

Conversion is a foreign word in Sikh religion.

We are all divine manifestation of one God like the Gias hypotheses.

Of course the term "convert" can be applied to some Sikhs. It defines the process of someone who practices religion A ceasing to practice that and instead practicing religion B.

If you can't "convert" from one religion to Sikhism, then either there is no Sikhism or every religion is Sikhism.

I think I understand the meaning of your posts in that no matter the religion, it all boils down to the same one universal creative source. However what is being worshipped is not the question.

My own response... I'm between religions. I was "neo-pagan" for seven years. I have been learning about Sikhism steadily now for nearly a year, but I would not yet call myself a Sikh at any level except perhaps in my heart.

Good luck with your project Amerdeep!

Hi Everyone!

Im just wondering anyone here living in Ireland?
Im from Ireland, am new to sikhism and am feeling very isolated.
I have been working for months and months on the internal aspects of sikhism and am slowly starting the process of bringing the inside, out!

so are you saying that i was a Sikh when i was an atheist? or that i'm not Sikh now that i've converted? your message is confusing.

i know hindus don't believe anyone can convert, they think you have to be BORN hindu. then again, they think EVERYONE is born hindu.

muslims also think everyone is born muslim, so they say "revert" rather than convert.

but as far as i know, all of the early Sikhs (with the exception of Guru Nanak Dev ji) converted from another faith. why can people not convert today?

perhaps we're defining the word "convert" differently? i'm not talking in the christian or muslim sense of reaching out and trying to get people to "join". i mean in the sense that people who did not previously practice the Sikh religion have adopted it by their own personal choice.

you can enrol in a class or a university, but till you open your mind to learning, you donot become a student
