    Guru Granth Sahib indeed speaks for itself. As does history. You are free to believe whatever you wish.

    Sikhi Is Sikhi A Religion?

    Ji Please stop insisting Sikhi is a Hindu religion. You've made this point in many threads. Personally, I believe your assertion is incorrect. But at any rate, you've said it enough times now. Please heed the warning.

    Sikhi Is Sikhi A Religion?

    This is a great comparison. There are similarities between Judaism and Sikhi, as well.

    sikh friend hiding disability in marriage

    I agree with Swarn. He shouldn't need it spelled out specifically that hiding such a critical thing is wrong. It's selfish and as Swarn said in one word, an injustice.

    When was Jup banee written?

    It's a great question - I hope someone with knowledge replies. My understanding is that Guru Nanak wrote Japji last, because it's a summary of his teaching that he spent a lifetime refining. But I have no evidence for it. I'm just repeating what I heard, and it makes sense to me. I think...

    New to Gurumuki and the Punjabi language

    Help With Translating A Shabad - Sins?

    Sat Sri Akaal I was reading this beautiful prayer today from page 790 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I have combined Dr Sant Singh Khalsa's translation with Bhai Manmohan Singh Ji's to give me greater clarity. However, both of them insert the word 'sins' at the end of the fourth line (in bold)...

    Is It Wrong To Pray Without Covering Your Head?
