    Since When Did We Sikhs Start Getting Depressed, Anxious , OCD And A Host Of Other Mental Illnesses

    Since they have started living in the present thinking and analyzing things, and not living in the past. Sikhs are no more fighting force of Khalsa only they are in various professions some of which carry stress. HABITS THAT DRAIN YOUR ENERGY AND CAUSE STRESS: Over thinking, Inconsistent...

    How different are messages of Buddha and Founding Guru Nanak of Sikhs!

    <<<Second line you quoted isn't even gurbani .... Question remains, If you don't consider Sikhi to be supreme, why are you even here in a Sikh philosophy forum ? >>> As far as Sikh religion is concerned, Gurbani and other sources such as scientific and logical evaluation is making it meaningful...

    How different are messages of Buddha and Founding Guru Nanak of Sikhs!

    It is due to people who have boxed their thinking with blind faith, Sikhism has not become universal religion. Sikh philosophy is universal but Buddha philosophy is more popular in the west among highly educated people. The post you are attacking without thinking and understanding is declared on...

    How different are messages of Buddha and Founding Guru Nanak of Sikhs!

    Thanks for your interest Logical Sikh Ji. Please show me the follower of any religion who says his religion is not superior. This is religious ego and worst than personal ego. Please share why Sikhi is superior by focusing on content of Gurbani and not attacking someone who tries to understand...

    Being Vegan And The Karah Prashad

    You are talking about vegans. Vegetarians can be Lacto-Ovo or Lacto depending on consuming eggs and milk products or just milk products as many of us already know. Most of the people in India including Sikhs practice Vegetarianism for health reasons and also to not kill the animals. So most of...

    How different are messages of Buddha and Founding Guru Nanak of Sikhs!

    Buddha was not a God. He never claimed to be a God. He never claimed to be messenger of God. He was a man who achieved Nirvana through Human efforts. Guru Nanak claimed the same except he accepted God within us. How different are messages of Buddha and Founding Guru Nanak of Sikhs! Buddha and...

    Is Sikh Belief of God Scientific?

    No. Sikhism is not more of a science but more scientific because it is one of youngest religions when more logical info was known. As I have mentioned many time, science is just a powerful tool. In this age of science and technology, we cannot ignore scientific impact on religion. I tend to...

    Is Sikh Belief of God Scientific?

    IMHO, Guru Ji not only want us to understand but to understand and practice it, Ambarsaria Ji. All the allegorical examples are for a common person to understand the philosophy behind the Gurbani verses. Those who study the content and are learners is what being a Sikhs is all about. It is...

    Is Sikh Belief of God Scientific?

    True. As far as Sikh religion is concerned, scientific and logical evaluation is making it meaningful for the current generation of science and technology using science as a modern tool to explain it. Science is just a powerful tool and is not competing with any religions. We should not be...

    Is Sikh Belief of God Scientific?

    Thanks for raising very interesting questions about God. The concept that makes most sense IMHO is One God-one spirit, which is a common concept in Eastern religions. There is one Universal energy (E= mc2) that we call God, Allah, Ram, Parmatma, Hari, God of the Universe, or any other name we...

    Is Sikh Belief of God Scientific?

    [Is this concept Scientific –part 2] God concept according to Sikh scripture is very scientific and of practical value, if interpreted correctly. It is not just a blind faith. The very first word of Ek Onkar in Mool- Mantar expresses exactly the same concept which is the foundation of all...

    God of Blind faith, Science/logic, and Spirituality

    Good question. In few words: God of logic is the God as a spirit within you. Not a God sitting somewhere in the sky making decisions. God is not in church or mosque or temple or gurdwara only that appears every Sunday. God, as I said, is also not sitting somewhere in the sky watching our...

    Is Sikh Belief of God Scientific?

    Is Sikh Belief of God Scientific? Sikh Holy Scripture starts with Mool-Mantra or Basic Principle in Jap (SGGS, p 1) that gives attributes of God/universal energy (Ek O). When we accept God as a spirit that exists in each and every person, then it describes attributes of spiritual state of...

    Can anyone suggest me literature sources where I can find Sakhis on Guru Saheban?

    I would request for understanding gurbani, please start with translations of Japuji Sahib and Kathas by devotees such as Sant Maskeen. Sakhis are not real but allegorical accounts. I am very impressed by your desire to understand and learn. Wish you all the best.
