[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 201318, member: 138"] Lucky ji, Guru Fateh. Your post made me laugh, literally and I am serious about that and it was not to mock but to see your failure to grasp what I was trying to say and you are not the only one. Let's start all over, once again. Gurdwara used to be called Sikh Temple before but with the help of Sikhi awareness by many Sikhs, now people like PM's Cameron, Harper call it Gurdwara. Both did it in their message of Vaisakhi and later on PM Harper said the same during his visit to a Gurdwara in Vancouver with PM Modi. Even President Obama called it a Gurdwara. You would notice that I did not use the term 'Sikh Gurdwara' because Gurdwara is the 'place of worship' for Sikhs. What Harry ji and I are trying to do is to get rid of Abrahamic mentality crept into Sikhi by the original translators who were Christian Missionaries that saw SGGS, our only Guru as our Bible, hence the biblical slant in the translations. This Abrahamic invasion continued from the Sikh Chelas of these translators. It is so much ingrained in us that SGPC officially recommends the translation by Sant Singh Khalsa who is a convert from the Judeo/Christian extraction and has penned the worst ever translations that most of the people copy and post here to prove their point and thought process. Hence, the Abrahamisation of our Only Guru continues, sad to say. If Sikhi is a unique way of life to all of us who are Sikhs as it is, then isn't it our duty to change all the Abrahamised translations into Sikhi? Yes, it is our duty and responsibility to take out the terms like [I]God [/I]and [I]Lord[/I] to define [I]Ik Ong Kaar[/I] because the former defines a deity and the latter a deity and a man with a few more quids who can buy it and call himself Lord which is also used as a deity. As Nirvana and Gurdwara have become the lexica of the cultures where ever the Sikhs reside, so should and will[I] Ik Ong Kaar [/I]to explain The Source of All There [I]IS[/I]. In fact I wrote about the usage of the latter-[I] Lord[/I] as [I]Ik Ong Kaar[/I] many years ago. The thread can be found here on SPN. For the record, I have never accused any Sikh ever of not being a Sikh as someone implied quite emphatically in his post, but I always said it is NOT Sikhi. As the old saying goes," People who live in the glass houses should not change their clothes with the lights on". :) Let's discuss subjects not people. Thanks Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
