[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 108236, member: 35"] Japjisahib ji spoke of Ardaas as a source of understanding our core identity in Sikhism. There are some core values to consider when asking what describes authentic Sikhism. My wording may be off and clumsy but Ardaas does point the way. And take note that the [B]Tankaiya are not mentioned or singled out or called to punishment [/B]in any way in this prayer. It is a prayer in which we are grateful for our history because of those who went before to teach us, and grateful for our present, and hopeful for the future because of the teachings of the Gurus. [B]Possibly defining authentic Sikhism: [/B] [LIST] [*]Remembering One God and seeking his forgiveness [*]Remembering the Gurus and asking for their help in times of trouble. [*]Remembering that the Dasam Pita protects us everywhere. [*]Remembering that the first 5 Beloved, the sons of Guru Gobind Singh, and the 40 martyrs are models to us in being steadfast in meditation and in reciting His Name. [*]Remembering that they practiced - as we should - generosity, bravery and overlooking the faults of others. [*]Remembering that they were capable of the extreme sacrifice [*]Remembering that they were faithful to the Sikh way of life (this assumes that there is a Sikh way of life, my words, forgive me) [*]Seeking the assistance of the Sword (Akaal) [*]Remembering the gift of being Sikh and the gifts that come with that, including understanding, faith and confidence [*]Remembering the gift of Naam. [*]Praying for the triumph of righteousness [*]Praying for triumph of the Khalsa and to be humble in mind and exalted in wisdom [*]Asking for forgiveness of our errors [*]Seeking the company of the holy and with their assistance remember His Name [*]Accepting His Will [/LIST] [COLOR=Blue]I am glad that Japjisahib ji mentioned Ardas - never realized that it is a way of internalizing a Sikh identity. [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen] Moderation question: Does Ardaas act like a tuner -- tuning us into a closer awareness of authenticity? [/COLOR] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
