    Is It Ok To Have Langar On Chairs And Tables?

    Reading through the comments here are some points that were shared in response to the post: 1) Its ok for elders because it is hard for them to sit on the floor 2) The practice to sit on the floor is so no individual is above the others (in the literal sense and figuratively) 3) Sitting on the...

    Why are Sikh weddings only in the morning and done by 12pm

    I attended a family wedding this past weekend, and the schedule was pretty hectic. They had their Lady's Sangeet the night before the Wedding Day. So it was a little tiresome. I asked why are all the wedding so early in the morning, and why can't they be started later in the afternoon (like...

    Sikh Hindu Muslim Christain

    I don't see what the arguement is. All I said was guru nanaks idea was we all should be one. Yet it failed anyways and became what he was against.

    Sikh Hindu Muslim Christain

    But yet here we are 2018 and Sikhi did become its own sect. During his time, Nanak travelled and shared his vision, thoughts. And some left behind Hinduism or Islam and became his followers (Sikhs). And you can argue the rest of the world didnt get his message because the world was much...

    Sikh Hindu Muslim Christain

    So then there shouldn't be any Sikh, Christian, Jews, etc. Either right? I understand Hindus and Muslims were primarily the population in that region during his time. But if you expand his thought worldwide, isnt that what he means?

    Sikh Girls Marrying Non Sikhs In India

    From another Post you claim 99% of the Sikh women are cheaters, smokers, cut hair, etc. and that they are B#@!$ in Lions clothing? The hell does that even mean. Dude you have to stop and take a step back. You're reacting to something you've obviously experienced, and are thus labeling all...

    Sikh Girls Marrying Non Sikhs In India

    Maybe someone can answer this, but why are some concerned with who others get married with. If you're a Sikh and want to marry someone who identifies themselves as a Sikh to and respects/loves you, good for you right. Is it the concern that when Sikh women marry into other religions then...

    Hard Talk Idols Of Sikh Gurus Being Sold In Market

    It is a weird fine line. To me when you do matha tek, it's a sign of respect, right? You do it when you see your elders (but that has its limit to). But excessive matha tek to me is like either you're showing off (look at me I "respect" every inch of this place, or people do it because everyone...

    Hard Talk Idols Of Sikh Gurus Being Sold In Market

    Growing up we used to get calendars from gurdwaras, over the years they would start piling up. Normally any calendar that was even a year old you would throw it away or recycle. But Is it wrong to trash or recycle calendars of gurus or gurdwaras, etc. I know some people face them when they do...

    Hard Talk Idols Of Sikh Gurus Being Sold In Market

    Not sure if and where it is said (literally in SGGS, but didn't Guru Nanak set examples of how idol worship is pointless. When he went to the Mecca and told them it didn't matter which way you faced, that essentially God is everywhere? But look at examples in India today, dont Hindus who...

    God Vs Creation Of The Earth/universe

    Christians are very clear from their bible on how God created the world in 7 days (6000 yrs ago). I believe this to be bogus, and very flawed. I've yet to read up on how Islam or Hindu's explain this question. But was more interested in how Sikhi explains the creation of the world and...

    The Gurus Were Not "chosen"

    It's not a fact that Sikhi is not a religion. To me that's your opinion. If i'm getting this correct, your claim is, since Sikhi's view or concept of God is different, and because it doesn't believe in rituals and beliefs as others so its not a religion. But by definition this is what...

    Is It More Important To Believe In God Or To Be A Sikh

    Chaz, I got your part about believing in God, but when finding about yourself, in your opinion is it only through Sikhi this can be done, or can other religions be right? And the part where you said you've found it, I assume you're referring to the "soul". Could you share what you found?

    The Gurus Were Not "chosen"

    Your response was: Ya you came off sounding like you knew everything already. Sikhi not being a religion is your opinion. Its not a fact. What's my end game, I dont know if I can answer that fully right now. But I guess as I'm become more self-aware, and before I devote the rest half of...

    The Gurus Were Not "chosen"

    What I don't understand, is why others don't find questions like this or when it comes to the credibility of Sikhi important. They're end answer is always the same. Didn't matter how the Guru's came to be, etc. Just that Guru Granth Sahib is all that matters, read it, learn from it, and all...
