[QUOTE="carolineislands, post: 75776, member: 5695"] Yes, I am backing up and getting more information on context and background before I get back to maryada. One thing I admire more and more about Sikhi is how revolutionary the philosophy was in the time it was born and even now. When I really think about the culture of the time and place of Guru Nanak it is just staggering to realize how advanced his ideas were. Just that detail in itself is enough proof for me that his messages were divinely inspired! Think about it... there were Hindus on the one side, and the despicable condition the women lived in... devadasis gang-raped by Hindu priests the minute they got their first period (as young as 8 or 9) while their family and community members sat right outside the temple and feasted to the background music of the girl's screams, then forced into temple prostitution for the rest of their lives. Not to mention all the other barbaric practices going on at that time (some still to day btw). Then on the other hand you have the Mughuls/Muslims stoning and dismembering people and treating women like livestock. Rituals, murders, massacres - etc etc etc.. Isn't it amazing that Sikhi was ever established at all?! And then after it was established, all these forces decended on Sikhs, paying for Sikh heads on a stick, raping women, massacres, blaghghg... It is just amazing to me that in the middle of all that insanity and barbarism, Guru Nanak walked around that huge area bringing this message so stunningly far ahead of it's time. And that Sikhs have carried that message into today. It's mind boggling. But now that I've read more of the violent background, and am seeing what seems like a constant holocaust against Sikhs from all directions, I better understand Guru Gobind Singh and the reasons Sikhi had to adapt or die. On the topic of charities. I actually have developed a charity nonprofit 501(c)(3) and that's the work we do in Haiti. My husband and I do this work together. One of the Punjabi Sikhs I have been corresponding with just sent a donation to the project from the Sikh organization he belongs to. It was very profound to me for some reason. Like things are falling into place. I am translating the daily Hukamnama to Haitian Creole, and am also going to start translating a Sikh author's work into Creole as well. I hope to have 365 entries of the daily Hukamnama and make it into a daily reading book to take to Haiti with us. There's a beautiful place right on the shore in the poorest part of the village that has a rocky sort of ledge that jutts out into the water where I intend to do amrit vela while watching the sun come up over the Caribbean. Sometimes my life seems so poetic! LOL Okay time for me to sleep -- I'm getting soppy. Love yas all! [/QUOTE]
