    I'm Intrigued

    Hello to you knowledge_seeker (these forums tend to have a somewhat impersonal edge to them with names; well mine is Gurdeep). First and foremost you are trying to achieve an understanding of Sikhi by interacting with it's members. This is a good way. The Gurdwara is not a place of worship...

    Meditation On God's Help

    Really well written Surinder Kaur - I couldn't agree more; there are too many superstitions which have crept into Sikhi and are slowly eroding it away. But I have faith that our brothers and sisters will change for the better and progress - it is a very slow process in our faith unfortunately...

    Shaheed Baba Deep Singh: How Was He Martyred?

    Sat Sri Akal, Very well said Gyani Jarnail Singh - I put to you that I too have this firm belief that the acts of our Guru's and matyrs that followed were MOST DEFINATLY a miracle in itself. I only posted this article on the "technical" question of how he died. It is just that for some may...

    Shaheed Baba Deep Singh: How Was He Martyred?

    Sat Sri Akal to all, I just wanted to share a question with my brothers and sisters and hoped you too could help shed some light on a question which has been bugging me. I am a firm believer that Sikhi is a logical and scientific faith - (scientific in the mechanical and deeper...

    Is This The Way Sikh Institutions Work?

    Same 'vicinity' as Harmandir Sahib complex: sorry brother, but didn't you already know this. I am not being sarcastic, I am just a little puzzled with the question. It is a perfectly fine question - just a thought. Take a look at Google Earth - you can see harmandir sahib from the air - and...

    Hindus Blame Pakistan For Their Own Mess!

    Sat sri akal, I am glad to see my other brothers and sisters taking the same approach to such matters. I highlighted my concerns for a divided nation, and I still stand strongly behind such a suggestion. We need unity and consolidation of our resources, knowledge, power etc TO BECOME A...

    Is This The Way Sikh Institutions Work?

    Its in Amritsar India - Darbar Sahib complex. Akal Takth is deliberately facing away from the central "darbar sahib" - concept of Miri and Piri (spiritual and temporal goals - i.e. life matters and spiritual matters are dealt with separately). Life matters are taken care by Akal Takhth -...

    Hindus Blame Pakistan For Their Own Mess!

    Sat sri akal ji, Thanks for the well reasoned question; I did keep my post very brief but I will elaborate. Firstly, I didn't mean to say "blame everything on hindus" - my use of the term Hindu here was out of place, my apologies, but what I meant was that the RSS, Shiv Sena and basically...

    Is This The Way Sikh Institutions Work?

    Funny, how the SGPC fought in the 1920's to liberate our gurdwaras AND NOW, well they are all for money and none for Sikhism. I ask brothers, we need a new system of unity amongst sikhs. This is the basis of solving ALL our problems - some form of international sikh institution WHICH ACTUALLY...

    Hindus Blame Pakistan For Their Own Mess!

    Sat Sri Akal to all, Well just noted in this recent BBC article how intolerance is unfortunantly still widely among the population at large in India. Should be noted, at leas the comedian in the article got the chance to go back to a safeheaven i.e. his homeland. I guess Sikhs are forever...

    Hindu Aarti In Gurdwara

    Fateh to all my brothers and sisters. I have not written anything in quiet a while was still suprised to see my thread being circulated and commented on for so long. I DIDN'T REALISE HOW CONTROVERSIAL THIS MATTER IS. Anyway, i wanted to set a few things straight. I am not paranoid in...

    Time To Open The Flood Gates!

    Satsriakal... As you can see around you things are pretty much messed up...so...what do you do...how do you make people open their eyes and realise a oneness of god...for even us Sikhs to reject our differences...leave the whole Khalistan Idea...we need real and realistic means...and that is to...

    Sikhism Is NOT A RELIGION!

    Satsriakal to all, Probably the name of this article startled you but hear me out. This is really in response to those who wish for a Khalistan, who believe Baptism is the only way to become a true Sikh, for those who want to categorise Sikhi as a religion, etc. Now, Countless times I hear...

    Hindu Aarti In Gurdwara

    HI there, Well I may have written the article in a little offensive way so I apologise, but I still do not accept your view on what Aarti is about. Not in a negative way, but rather I think applying it logically with a better understanding of what GOD is, you will realise how and why such...
