[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 186403, member: 14194"] Fellow spners critical of Kamala ji I share some of your comments but I want to make some observations from what I have observed in previous interactions with Kamala ji. I was direct/harsh at times till I was quite directly reminded by someone who knew about her a little more than me that she is a younger person. Being so she is very well articulated. Whether we like what she says or conjectures is a different matter. We need to encourage specific and clear responses to bring out the confusion in terms of what is posted and what we understand. Let us note some of the following specific to the poster, [LIST] [*]There were post(s) and even in adherence one time when Kamala ji indicated to be Hindu-Sikh [*]There was a dialog that this may not be a validly so in detail, while superficially and in some aspects, there may be commonalities [LIST] [*]Which parts of any religion have with every other religion whether it be beliefs, morality, conduct or even some practices [/LIST] [*]In this thread perhaps we have all learnt something through posting [*]From this thread perhaps others not members or just readers may have picked up something [LIST] [*]The number of Sikhs who associate with Hinduism practices is very large [*]People partake in friends or neighbours who may be non-Sikh occasions and events [*]Perhaps this thread will encourage for some of these to keep the "devil in the detail" aspects of such participation in mind [/LIST] [/LIST] The simplest answer in Sikhism to questions of God/creator is that one cannot be defined being infinite and us limited. So Krishna is not God nor is Guru Nanak Dev ji. Our Guru ji vehemently tried to ensure that they were not treated so but as like part of one just like everyone else. One can actually even the most basic of descriptions for creator as a litmus test. That litmus test can come from mool mantar. Let us review, So for generally understood characteristics of Krishna against this test, [COLOR=navy][FONT=Arial][B]Basic God/creator above as in Sikhism vs Krishna[/B] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=navy][FONT=Arial]So for Kamala ji's original question, Krishna as understood commonly has little to do with Bhagwan/God/creator as in Sikhism and worship of such is totally irrelevant. [/FONT][/COLOR]Separately in spirit of mutual learning, let us reflect if our responses would have the same tone had the poster asked, [CENTER][/CENTER] Knowing more may start with someone worshiping Krishna but if they really are a learner (Sikh) they may move on beyond the starting point. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji read and understood in proper context would be of greatest benefit in such circumstances. Just some observations and I always stand corrected. Sat Sri Akal. :kaurhug::mundahug: [B]PS: [/B]"Kamala" male gendered does mean someone as fool/mad/idiot. But in the general use of the word as a very common Indian name for females, as in "Kamala ji", I believe it stands as if like the Lotus flower. Much purity, beauty, untainted by anything and so forth. [/QUOTE]
