    Questions From A Non-sikh

    Hi, In opening I would like to say that I have a lot of love and respect for my Buddhist Brothers and Sisters, am a long-time Meditator of the breathe (8 years), and also study the Theravada school of thought. <<1. Buddhism and Sikhism I think are largely similar, but they have a major...

    Sirdar Kapur Singh's. The Tale Of Truth. Really?

    Hi Gyani ji, I wish to look into the 3rd point currently. Just doing some basic searches threw up points which actually support Ambedkar's possible conversion along with the masses. It must be noted that the climate at the time was one of deep hostility due to the strong possibility of...

    Support For The Concept Of Reincarnation In Sikhism?

    Hi Gyani Ji, I appreciate that you are having multiple conversations, but my perception is that you are avoiding me. Incase you missed my post (Edited for Clarity): There is a lot of white noise around this issue that does not have anything to do with this thread. I would appreciate...

    Support For The Concept Of Reincarnation In Sikhism?

    Hi Gyani Jarnail Singh, I think it is fair to say that you beleive that you do not believe in reincarnation. "...due to the False beleif of reincarnation which is REJECTED by GURBANI" "So Since there are no Joons...there is NO REINCARNATION. Period." If it is OK, I will take this as the...

    Support For The Concept Of Reincarnation In Sikhism?

    Hi Gyani Jarnail Singh, Forgive me for asking a second time, but would you mind clearing your stance on what your thoughts are on Reincarnation and what you believe the Guru Granth Sahib teaches about this? "The Guru Granth Sahib teaches Reincarnation. I believe in Reincarnation. " The...

    Support For The Concept Of Reincarnation In Sikhism?

    Hi Gyani Jarnail Singh, I have read through this thread, but i am afraid that i am still unsure what your personal stance is on Reincarnation? Would you mind clarifying this, as sometimes i feel that you are rejecting reincarnation completely, but at other times accepting it. For me, the...

    Where To Start?

    Hi Ozarks, You have raised an interesting point. I think the vast majority of people would prefer to be taught about the Dharma in a fashion where there is a real speaker. Infact, i would go as far to say that this has been the primary method for many centuries for countless Dharmas. The...

    Where To Start?

    Hi Ozarks, Please let me welcome you to the forum also. Many Brothers and Sisters may have recommend these sites already, but hearing of them again helps to reinforce the value and wisdom they possess and ultimately help you on your journey to understand the Sikh Dharma. Sites that teach...

    Islam Why Sikhism?

    4) What are your personal thoughts on reincarnation Makes perfect sense to me. There are essentially 3 views to take upon death. 1) The body is but an organic matter and the consciousness, instincts and awareness it possesses is but a by-product of it. Upon Death, the body disintegrates and...

    Islam Why Sikhism?

    Hi Ryadd, Welcome to the Forum. 1) What are the reasons you either believe you are sikh, or what makes you sikh. For me there is no question that I am not a Sikh, even if I am not the best I can be yet, I am still reaching, learning and applying. Part of this comes from my Form which...

    Is Sikhism Succumbing To Fundamentalism?

    Hi, With regards to the question in hand, No, I do not believe that Sikhi is succumbing to Fundamentalism. btw, for me Fundamentalism means something like Hizb-ut-Tahrir and The Sikhs are nowhere near that, as far as i can tell anyway. wrt to the article, i can only say that i read it...

    Why Do Sikhs NOT Want To Propogate The Dharma?

    Hi, Thanks for the responses so far. A few years ago, i would have used the word convert, but many Sikhs do not seem to have stomach for it. I would even go as far to say that the Sikhs are almost allergic to the word. Being perfectly honest, what did make me bring up this topic was when i...

    Why Do Sikhs NOT Want To Propogate The Dharma?

    Hi, I was considering writing a series of posts to put my arguments across for propogating the Dharma, but i have decided to take a slightly different approach. I wish to genuinely ask, why is there a general lack of inertia and wanting when it comes to propogating or even just teaching...

    Islam Why Do Sikhs Look Down On Other Religions?

    Hi VaheguruSeekr Ji/Tejwant Singh Ji, Not a problem at all. Thank you for the kind words. It is a shame that Questioner /and A Muslim have been banned as i would have wanted to see what they had to say. Ultimately though in the big scheme of things, I believe that the Moderators done the...
