[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 52964, member: 35"] [SIZE=1]Naamdari ji, How glad I am that you asked your question directly. In another thread I discovered that you have a great sense of humor (talking about your sister), so I have little hesitation in presenting my concerns. Many people reading the forum have never heard of Naamdari. For me the forum was the first time ever. So to understand what was going on I had to do research. It wasn't very extensive because I had only an hour or so to linger on the Internet. What I read was interesting. Someone like me who has been drawn to Sikhi for less than 2 years needs a context for what is a wealth of history that is culturally, historically and politically complex. I found nothing that suggested that Naamdari are not Sikhs. To the contrary, most accept the fact that Naamdari are indeed a sect of the Sikh faith. The arguments you refer to are swarming with concerns, less about Naamdari as a believing people, and more about two things: the inviolate truth of Siri Guru Granth Sahib, and a much more complex philosophical question about "living gurus" in human form. I put that crudely I know. Personally I cannot subscribe to the idea that there can be living Guru's in human form, only in liiving gurus in human form who are teachers with wisdom to share. The last Guru is all I need. But that is not my point in responding to you. The fact is, all that I read tells me that Naamdari are devout and pious. There is much in your history that is admirable. There is much that I myself admire and agree with. Giving an example of a person who is not looking for a fight but for insight. You can help this conversation by sharing many different kinds of insights, but DrKahlsa is correct about suggesting a separate thread (which he started so this could happen). That is important, because unless you do that, everything you have to say will continue to get tangled up in several other discussions that are really about gurus and their followers who are on ego trips (not you). Nothing constructive will be accomplished, and everyone will become frustrated. Only with respect [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
