Ugh, Veer Ji I do not have an emoticon to display the amount of frustration I have hearing this - so sorry about the trouble! Some orders are going through but I have no idea why it is not working for you in this case because you have tried everything I can think of, but I have opened a ticket...

oh no! i will get in touch with the tech support right away, i'm so sorry to hear that. there were a few issues with using the site via Safari last week, if you have Chrome that might work better, but in any case i will follow up. if you still have any trouble (or anyone) please just email me...

Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it. :)

Thank you so much! I will keep everyone posted as we go. :)

San Francisco, California, USA There’s a new superhero in town and he doesn’t sport a cape, mask or wear embarrassing tights. He wears a turban and sports a beard. His name is Deep Singh – and he fights the Taliban! You can meet this Sikh badass super agent in the first issue of ‘Super...

Harmanpreet Ji, thank you so much for pointing out the idea of "giving my head". what a powerful and profound way to think about in relationship to "knowing". i can see how the process of turning to face the Guru is similar to giving up logic and reason and the strategies we use to deal...

thanks Ambarsaria, i agree with much of what you said but there are some key areas that seem still unresolved, i will clarify here if you or anyone else would like to examine further.

thanks Tejwant Singh Ji, i can certainly do that and clarify. at first when i am referring to "God" i am just generically talking about testing into how a person knows something, i.e., epistemology, in the normal world. so as i go about my day, i use my senses to empirically observe things...

Thanks!! i will check it out.

Does anyone know of Philosophy texts that specifically address Sikhi in the content? Thanks!

I think this is a really deep question and I don't really know the answer in terms of what one "should" believe, but it reminds me of the personal debate in my mind that goes something like this: If as a female, I choose not to remove any hair, I may do this as a means of accepting Hukam or as...
