    What Is Waheguru-I

    Sukhminder asks what is the benefit of this word Waheguru. This is simply a word and there is no benefit from the recitation of this word. It is pretty much a hallucinogen, and allows the individual to experience whatever he wants to experience, it all depends on your tastes. If you were...

    Atheism Do You Believe In Waheguru

    In relation to the post I think that the most important question is asked at the beginning “Do you believe in Waheguru?” that is the most important thing that needs to be addressed. The story itself is pretty sad and appeals to sentimental hogwash which many people are sadly fall prey to. The...

    Which Path To The Shabad Guru: Scholarship Or Spirituality?

    Investigation into the word Sikh is very much required. It appears to me to me to be more than a noun more than an object. Perhaps one should look at its history and it's use and how it came to be used as a noun. One should also look as to how it was used by the gurus was it ever intended to...

    Which Path To The Shabad Guru: Scholarship Or Spirituality?

    Lucky singh surely the question is for you to answer. You yourself possibly know the answer to your question but perhaps you are asking for other peoples thoughts and then you will decide according to the answer which suits your likes and dislikes.* Another question you need to ask is why you...

    Waheguru Simran, Nitnem, Gurbani Study: Which You Do Most And Why?

    Prakash Bagga Ji Unfortunately I do view Nanak as nothing other than a man. Man is all I know. In relation to your question as to whether you should know prabh and what is the simran of prabh, I would simply say that if we have to ask the question we will never know. There is no way the...

    Waheguru Simran, Nitnem, Gurbani Study: Which You Do Most And Why?

    The comments below are not intended towards any individual but are intended as a personal insight as this is the trap and the comfort in which I too feel I had fallen: Sardar Bagga Ji and others,* You have stated they everyone must makes ones own spiritual journey but that to make it...

    Waheguru Simran, Nitnem, Gurbani Study: Which You Do Most And Why?

    I think that the first line of the introduction sets the tone of the purpose for naam simran. The author states that we do certain things for spiritual endeavours. And this is absolutely correct. We do naam simran so that we can gain something * Any practice of anything is a dead thing. To...

    Japji Translation Questions

    Ishna, It appears to me that you have firstly accepted the translations of others, and having missed on that occasion, you ask of others the meaning of the words, and again you miss, you accept their authority and their understanding, and have none of your own. Debate issues not...

    Do Sikhs Fear God?

    I think that you should ask yourself whether you fear God. Do you fear God. Perhaps you do and for that reason you follow a religion and the precepts as laid down by the religion. There is the fear of not belonging to something greater. The fear of being alone, the fear of not being, the fear...

    New SPN'er Introductions

    Dear Seeking The Light, Don't bother you will not find what you are looking for, or you may convince yourself that you have found what you are looking for. Perhaps the first question that you should ask is why are you seeking anything? Is it because that you are empty? And that you are...

    Self Purification

    Dear Jaspi, I am glad that we agree on many points. I am all in agreement with much of what was written in the article, and agree with your points and references made from Gurbani. I also agree with the mention that you have made of the state of the Gurdwara and its administration and people...

    Self Purification

    A few thoughts on the submitted article: 1. "When the mirror is cleaned up, it gives a vivid reflection" - this refers I expect to the mind. And that when one perceives through the mind, the perception is clouded. This clouding has been caused by one's experience, and the things that we...

    Mixed-Race Relationships And The Damage They Can Cause

    The family that have placed you in this position can not be said to be Sikh, in that they are not compassionate, tolerant, and ready to learn. Unfortunately they are tainted with cultural and racial prejudices, and are being led by supposed rumours - "What would the neighbours think". These are...

    Hindu Rights In Peril

    I don't understand what the great hullaballoo is all about?? That Hindus or Sikhs are a minority, who cares. Unless it can be said that one is being treated worse than the other there is no reason even to bother with this tosh. If this article claims that Hindus are getting a raw deal as opposed...
