WJKK WJKF I am sorry, but I am in a bit of a dilemna here. Basically, I am due to go India later this year and although this is great news there is a place where I am to pray which I feel contradicts with my belief as a Sikh. It seems like most villages in India have a samadhi/religious...

Hi Everybody! As a child, I had a Christian background. I converted to Paganism in 1984. After a long period as a Pagan, I've recently come to the conclusion that the universe is under 'centralised management', and that it is best to recognise the One God behind all the many forces of...

I was browsing through Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Dasam Granth, and I was reading through the incarnations of Rudra, and it mentioned a Paras Nath. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is the same Paras Nath (otherwise known as Parsvanath) venerated by Jains as their 23rd Tirthankar (Prophet)...

Its said in sikhism that we dont worship Idols. Does that mean that pictures of guru jis and even having Khanda in your home is bad? Or only bad if you pray to them?

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I've tried finding answers to these questions and can't. I'm doing a project for a sociology course and during my research I came across two things in sikhism that strike me as not making sense, given the focus on equality of all people in sikhism...
