Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Confused ji, I am very impressed by your very objective statements and advice. It would be a shame if you were unable to continue to contribute on this forum ( not necessarily on this thread). Objectively examining matters that one is not attached to, is the only way...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh ji I am surprised I have been asked a question along this line a number of times now, in a short time on this forum. There seems to be an inherent lack of trust and/or a degree of paranoia. Please may I sincerely state, hopefully for the last time: a) I...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh Confused ji I think I have learned a lot from the interchange with all the members who have kindly expressed their thoughts here. I am definitely struggling to keep up with posts, and this is made worse as I find it difficult to deal with formatting of copied...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh Tejwant Singh ji, I thank you for this continued opportunity to disuss these several dimensions that have flowed from the intial post. My prime agenda is to learn more about the aspect of Sikhi that interests me, which is the meaning of all shabds in Sri Guru...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh SPNadmin ji I apologise for my inability to present coherent arguments, with an ultimate conclusion. I do go off on a tangent very often, and this does affect the readability when I reflect upon the same post at a later date. As for this particular paragraph...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam <!-- google_ad_section_end --> Gurfateh ji SPNadmin ji, I have often turned to speaking of "Sikhs" in the third person because the people I write of in that manner have disenfranchised me and my family, and most of my immediate relatives through the Gurleen Kaur case...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh ji I replied further: I trust this clarifies this point sufficiently Thank you and Kind Regards Sat Sri Akal

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam You appear to be trying to protect Sikhi from any association with dogma. Faith is what Sikhi is about. Without faith in Ik Ong Kaar, there is only a set of practices, some of symbolise compassion, generosity, tolerance and equality, but others are ritualistic, and yet...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh ji I disagree with you. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji acknowledges one cannot understand the Creator, Ik Ong Kaar. Ik Ong Kaar is the bedrock of Sikhi. Without a concept of Ik Ong Kaar, Sikhi is not anywhere near as useful as it is with a concept of Ik Ong Kaar...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh Tejwant Singh Ji, I have read all the further points you have made about theology. I believe we are at cross-purposes. You appear to be interested in ensuring SGGS is not represented as dogma, or represented as theological dogma. I do not have such an interest. I...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh ji Language is important. We can try to understand and should try to do so. However most people are not scholars and do not have time to analyse grammar or learn mutilple Indic languages. We must accept language is dynamic and constantly evolves. What is...

Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh Tejwant Singh ji, thank you for your further comments. I am not sure whether you are happy with continuing this dialogue, but am happy to do as long as you wish to and I am able to. Whenever you get irked by me,perhaps by my touching on sensitive issues, please...

Re: NO WOMEN nominated or elected to SGPC Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh Ishna ji, even if women did care, and I expect many do, I doubt if they would have made it through elections. It will be a long time before that happens. What people say and what people do is very often quite different...
