[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 186410, member: 35"] Ambasaria ji I take your criticism as very sincere. And your compassion and kindliness is something that I wish to emulate. However, I am not questioning the validity of Hindu beliefs or the enthusiasm of a young person who is trying sincerely to reconcile Vedic thought with Sikh philosophy. Rather, I protest the absence of sincerity. My reaction to the idea of Bhagwan Guru Nanak Dev? That is a deep question. It is not the question that was asked. However, there are several issues that have pointed me in the direction I took. Not to repeat all of my comments throughout the thread. Young people have to access their beliefs and faith in personal and infinite ways. And we should be here to respect that and help them move forward. However, in the case of this thread there were too many examples of "playing around" with the impressions of SPN members. This was transparent. The first thing that caught my eye when I read the thread was the use of "Bhagwan" in the title. "Bhagwan" Sri Krishna. What is that about? Why the use of the word "Can" instead of "May." I preceived too much cleverness in the way the OP was constructed. The kind of cleverness that suggested a set-up. Again, I don't want to rehash my remarks.
