Thank-you for your response, findingmyway ji! I think that this is a very difficult decision that I have to make. I would be going back to Australia alone. If I have any more questions, I will ask you. You have helped with this response. Thank-you again

Sath Sri Akaal! I am wondering if any one out there would be able to tell me if there are any Sikh schools in Australia. I know that there is one in Sydney but I was looking to move to Melbourne. I am a teacher in London and thinking if moving back to Australia. If anyone knows of any Sikh...

Please, please, please help again!! I have wondered around on the internet for a week and somehow ended back here with new knowledge that Nadir Singh is now apologising for misleading information! I read through the conversation between add0002 ji and Randip ji and this is making absolutely no...

Randip Singh ji, please understand that I am not meaning to offend here. I came with the genuine intention to seek advice on where to go and what to make of this. I do not have anyone to speak to about my faith and so I rely on you and others here to allow me to ask questions and guide me as...

aad0002 ji, I understand that the times were very different, corrupt and in shambles and after speaking to the author of this book (a Nihang Sikh), he made it very clear that this was worship - seen as instruments to be worshiped. As I read on, he continued to talk about (Quoting from the same...

Sath Sri Akal all, it has been a while but I am back with questions, if you will accept them. Yesterday, we had the book signing event (In the Master's Presence: The Sikhs of Hazoor Sahib by Nidar Singh Nihang and Parmjit Singh) in London. I eagerly went along, with the full knowledge that my...

oops! What I meant was that we DO maintain (to the best of our ability) the true message of our Gurus or other teachers of philosophy/way of life/religion? See, my simple little message to you could have been misinterpreted right there!!! Lets just hope that there was no typing errors in any...

...And Saint Soldier, is that not why we need to learn and understand each point of view, or rather interpretation of any writings, so that neither you, I or anyone else maintains the true message of our Gurus or other teachers of philosophy/way of life/religion? Just a thought ;)

Saint Soldier ji, with all due respect, I believe that Guru Nanak bestowed the "Guruship" upon Guru Angad, being the most pure in prayer and deed. Therefore, Guru Nanak did pass on his teachings and so forth til Guru Gobind Singh passed it to Guru Granth Sahib. Yes, Guru Nanak was against...

I would just like to add here that all your recounts are so inspiring! I thank you all for sharing them. I came across Sikhism while teaching and as I started reading, my interest grew. It is funny, I do admit that I get caught up in any good read, but this was so different. I felt a whole...

Actually, I have to say that i disagree with this general statement. Just because some of us are from teh west (born or convert) does not mean that this is the case. One could argue that those who choose Sikhism as away of life rather then born to it actually pour more into doing it "right"...

HardKaur - I can see why one could take offence to the issues that you rise but...come on, maybe you need to relax a little bit. You can not control what other people do but set what you believe to be the "right" example. I think that it is fantastic that the Gurdwara is a place where...

I went away and pondered and had to come back to place this too. I say that I can only delude myself to even begin to contemplate the devotion that our Gurus held and bare this in mind as I write my next thought... Do you think that although we need to understand and implement the teachings of...

I have just been reading this thread and usually I am the silent one - read and taking notes to better understand. I am going to refer to the concept of 'blind' here and i may very well be wrong (actually more then likely) but please correct me. We all know our own levels of love for God and I...

Sinister ji, I have to say thank-you for putting asmile on my face!! Although I would like to convince myself that I have such agility, the truth is - I may take this advice with a pinch of salt!! aad0002 ji, I feel that you understand what I am meaning. I have read Sri Guru Granth Sahib...
