    Re Man Mere Sadha Harh Jaap Translation

    I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me about a particular phrase in the shabad "Re Man Mere Sadha Harh Jaap." In this shabad, it says "Aapun keeya kachu na hoy" which roughly means that through one's actions, nothing is accomplished. I was listening to this shabad once and Bhai Harbans...

    What Happens When We Die?

    I was talking with a friend and realized we both had different views on what happens to us when we die, so I thought I would see what people on here think as to what Sikhism says. My question is when we die, do we go to heaven, get judged by God, and then get sent back to earth? Or, do we die...

    Christianity Why Do I Believe In Jesus? An Ex-sikhs Journey In Faith

    Christianity is not a scientific religion. Here are a couple examples of why: 1) Jesus was portrayed to have long hair. Yet in Paul's letter to the Corinthians, Paul states that men should not have long hair: Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a...

    Hard Talk How Many Sikhs Have Married Out Of Caste/race?

    Re: How Many Siks Have Married out Of Jaat/Zaat (Caste/Race) We sound like hypocrites if we use caste as a matrimonial decision. Guru Gobind Singh baptized three untouchables without caring about their caste, and then we tell other people that the Gurus got rid of the caste system. What kind...

    Do All Religions Lead To God?

    The way I understand it, it is not so much which religion brings you to God (because all potentially can), but rather which method will bring you to God. Sikhism tells us meditating on God's name and abolishing the five vices are necessary to attain salvation. Well, these things can be done...

    Sikhism And Homosexuality

    Hmmm...I guess you're right. My dad once conducted a wedding, and although it was a heterosexual wedding, nothing would have stopped him from conducting a homosexual wedding, and it would have been just as "official" as a heterosexual one. I guess the next step (at least where I'm from) is...

    Sikhism And Homosexuality

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh I am currently a medical student and would like to re-iterate...homosexuality is not a choice, but something you're born with. Similarly, heterosexuality is not a choice, but something you're born with. Did anyone here every say, "Ah, now I will...
