Tejwant Singh Ji, "First of all Rom, Rom means each pore. All humans have pores but not all humans have hair sprouting out from their pores. What happens when one becomes totally bald? Does that mean Ik Ong Kaar stops "residing" on the bald spots, the Creative Energy that is omnipresent?" Not...

Aman Singh Ji, If I may ask about some of your points... "Do we consider Adi Granth Sahib ji as the eternal Guru of Sikhs? if yes, then we follow what Guru Gobind Singh Ji asked us do." Does Siri Guru Granth Sahib talk of the Khalsa? The only place I can find it is here: कहु कबीर जन भए खालसे...

It would seem that the Sikh community at large is happy with having committees and legal bodies telling them what they want to hear. People who take a part of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib रोम रोम महि बसहि मुरारि ॥ Rom rom mėh basėh murār. and on each and every hair, the Lord abides. and treats...

AusDesi Ji, The Rehat Maryada has the power it does because people agree that it has that power. It is like if you were a Christian would you base your identity on the words written in the Bible or what an encyclopedia/dictionary said was a Christian. One is meant to inspire, the other to...

AusDesi Ji, If I may quote you to begin my post... "Religion needs symbolism. Without symbolism A religion cannot develop. Same with Rituals and Miracles. Every religion needs them." A religion is a reflection, or symbol, of the truth that the founder(s) laid out for those who would follow. A...

Soul Jyot Ji, It seems to me, at first glance, that the doctor is concerned more with the identity (appearance) of Sikhs and not its liberating faith. I understand the loss of cultural identity to be of great concern, but it is not the loss of the faith and its teachings, yet he seems to...

He must have. I went through a little town onetime and there was a sign by the road that said "Jesus is Lord over (town name) and surrounding area." I saw that town... I thought Jesus got the short end of the stick. :p

The interest is based on a pm conversation with another member on SPN member and some questions that sprang up from there. I had poked around a bit looking but thought maybe there would be or should be a one-stop-shop answer or thread. Could not really find anything that I thought was a "must...

I appreciate the posts thus far. Though by traits or characteristics I was hoping for a something of a more physical appearance in nature. I do like the quote from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib and that is one of the few key conditions to who is a Sikh. I guess the impetus for the question was if...

Sat Sri Akaal, I would like to know what are the physical traits or characteristics of a Sikh as laid out in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Thanks. Sat Nam

Harbansj24 Ji, I find this portion of your reply quite interesting. Last week there was a day that I felt, well for lack of better words; ridiculously joyful/happy. I say "ridiculous" because there was not clear reason for the mood/feeling. A desire to smile, a true contentment and peace. Very...

Is it for a union with the Creator or a desire to free yourself from the Creation?

I applaud them for their efforts. Faith is not something frozen in time. It is to be - has to be - a living, growing thing. Things that do not grow die. I just wish there was one around here.

That's a new one, I like it! :D

Ambers Ji, 1) How is the study of other holly scriptures by Sikhs viewed by Khalsa Sikhs? I am afraid that I will have to let someone else answer you first question from the authority of being Khalsa. Though I am not familiar with any prohibition. 2) Is it frowned upon to read, quote or...
