    Sikhism And Homosexuality

    sat sri akaal singh balbir ji, can you please specify in which part of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji it says about Homosexuality. I have so far not been able to find this through my learned friends ( by the way i cannot read gurbani so have to rely on friends) and by the way please let us not...

    Sikhism And Homosexuality

    Sat Sri Akaal Ji, Not this old chesnut again! please waheguru, spare us from our "sikh clergy"! The same repeated arguments come to the fore when this subject is debated: its against nature!, its not in keeping with gods will! adam & eve (amongst other myths and legends). Come on cyber sangat...

    Heritage Radio Pakistan Says Sikhs In India Are Forcibly Converted

    sat sri akaal jio, i agree that india has its issues and is not as secular as it should be. The Bal Thackeray types and the spineless thugs of the shiv sena should be put in their place. Despite its problems there are more sparks of hope than those that ignite despair. One would hope that with...

    Heritage Radio Pakistan Says Sikhs In India Are Forcibly Converted

    sat sri akaal jio, Pakistan is a failed state because since its history began its governments have been mostly military or the few "civilian" ones have been overthrown by the military. At the moment its people are in denial about how other countries are percieving them as a "People". They have...

    Who Is A Sehajdhari Sikh?

    aad0002 ji thanks!:) i take heart from the fact that all human souls are lit by the same jot of Akaal. My love for satguru will not wane because of the decisions of men (courts/sgpc) In my heart i am and will always be sikh as much as i am human. we are all creations of Akaal. I am but the dust...

    Who Is A Sehajdhari Sikh?

    sat sri akaal jio!,I agree with the comments that this decision is a political one not a truly spiritual one. i'm sitting here scatching my (turbanned head) in confusion. i no longer know who or what i am! (BULLAH KEE JANAH MAIN KON) i am or was a sehajdhari sikh and now i have been told that i...

    Is It 'Beadbi' If A Clean-Shaven Guy Wears A Pag (Turban Worn Sikh-Style)?

    sat sri akaal jio! reading this post reminded me of the line in gurbani "khoob teri pagri mithe tere bol". the turban is not a sikh invention so we cannot just claim it is beadbi for a clean shaven/trimmed sikh or non sikh to wear one. as for Bollywood, well it seems we can't win. just last year...

    Gender & Sexual Orientation Of The Soul

    GUR FATEH VEER! HMM INTERESTING QUESTION!, LETS GIVE THE DICTIONARY ANSWER FIRST: the spiritual, non-physical part of someone or something which is often regarded as the source of individuality, personality, morality, will, emotions and intellect, and which is widely believed to survive in some...

    Sikh Atheism

    :wah: gur fateh jio! perhaps a simpler way to put this is that yes we all (HINDU SIKH MUSLIM *** ETC)have our GOD / "fathers" we all just refer to him differant such as "POPS", "dad", "PITA JI","Father", "Bapu", "BAAP". IT IS A MATTER OF PERCEPTION AS TO WHAT WE HOLD AKAAL TO BE. TO ME GOD IS...

    Gender & Sexual Orientation Of The Soul

    :advocate: GUR FATEH JIO! I HAVE READ A FEW POSTS ON HOMOSEXUALITY ETC AMONGST SIKHS AND ITS A SUBJECT THAT IS DEBATED BY ALL FAITHS. IT HAS TO BE SAID ITS A TOPIC THAT MOST SIKHS I KNOW REGARD AS UNWORTHY OF DEBATE. MANY SIKHS ADOPT A "BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND HOPE THE TOPIC GOES AWAY"...

    Caste, Race, Ethnicity And Sikhism

    gurfateh ji!, i hold the opinion that those who control our institutions (sgpc et al.) have never actively preached against zaat/jaat. i have never in my years of hearing parchariks / gianis at gurdwaras etc condem the evil of the caste system. the most i hear is the usual historical account...
