[QUOTE="Lionchild, post: 24390, member: 1295"] A reply from another forum to the same thread... Agreed... when I entered sikhi, I got the 5 kakars quite soon, perhaps to soon. Without knowing what they really meant. Now, I know better than to just take amrit right away, it;s a deep dicision and one that cannot be taken lightly. So I will take amrit sometime next year, provided i'm ready for it. Back in the living human guru's days, it was acceptable and a good choice to spread the word of sikhi in one community. This is because sikhi was still maturing and getting it's roots developed. If expansion would have happened in other areas without maturing first, then there would be problems later on and the possibility of expanding to fast and/or without proper direction. However we are long past the mature stage and in fact are in a decline stage where there isn’t enough new ppl to balance out the existing sikhi population. And over the years, this has further evolved into a population that is largely stuck with itself and little exposure to new Sikhs from different background. Now there really isnt a problem of expanding in one community, however if the community grows within itself for too long, then rituals, problems, degrading and boundaries start to develop. Then as more time progresses, it just gets harder to reverse or stop the issues/problems. These issues can be countered by expanding in existing communities (being born in sikhi family), spreading sikhi (new sikhs), and revived sikhs. This is happening, there are many new sikh that are born into families, as well as youth/adults going back into the faith as well as the odd new sikh (convert) coming in. These groups have tremendous power to change and revive aging communities. And often have the raw, untainted energy that can move/inspire others to follow. However... this group is far outnumbered and overwhelmed buy percentage of sikhs who are not really practicing, borderline’s (and lechers) who don't contribute to the sikhi community. That presents an obvious problem – how can you truly make a difference if your not being well represented? Well it will take some time, let’s just say 50 years before these groups can make a noticeable impact on the sikhi community. Until then, expansion into unknown areas and places that sikhi doesn’t exist is the next step in sikhi. The sikh community Punjab will decline further, and will go into religious hibernation for quite some time, during that time, North America and the UK region will prosper and become the unofficial centers of sikhi population, even if the numbers are not as big as Punjab. In the distant future, Punjab will rise again, with the help of the growing/large sikhi community in other parts of the world. My long reply… BB [/QUOTE]
