[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 159850, member: 14641"] Gurfatehji A subject that needs some validation, I am aware that it is not uncommon for Hindus to also pray to Guru Nanakji, which I take as a huge compliment, but given the myriad of deities that Hindus have available to them, it does not seem unreasonable for a Hindu to do this. However, some Hindus feel this should be reciprocated by our acceptance and worship of these deities, which is simply impossible under the SRM which clearly states:- [COLOR="Blue"][SIZE="4"]Article I – Definition of Sikh [/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]Any human being who faithfully believes in: • One Immortal Being • Ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Dev to Guru Gobind Singh • The Guru Granth Sahib • The utterances and teachings of the ten Gurus • The baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru, and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion, is a Sikh. [/COLOR] I am aware that some people use the adherent Hindu/Sikh, but how can the teachings be anything other than a melting pot of contradictory opinions and concepts? Hinduism has the caste system, Sikhism has strict rules regarding equality, the fact that these are not followed is another matter.... Hinduism has reincarnation, Sikhism does not Hinduism has Karma, Sikhism does not Hinduism is full of rituals and exciting ceremonies, Sikhism has gone out of its way to distance itself from such I know that there are Sikhs who embrace a lot of Hinduism without even realising it, but there are too many differences, the end result is a confusion. I have nothing against the Hindu religion, I have a lot of respect for the many Gods and Goddesses, I have respect for the right of anyone to worship anything they so wish, but do I believe they existed? No, of course not, I am a Sikh, I believe only in Creator that has no birth or death and without form, and that invalidates the Hindu Gods, so I cannot believe in them, although any concept that agrees with Sikhi, I am happy to embrace, but with the direction coming from Creator, not Idols. As a Sikh, Creator Created, and that is it, its boring, its not exciting, no bells and whistles, no fire or sun worship, just simple tuning into Creators voice to achieve salvation with the minimum of fuss and ceremony. So I would be interested in comments as to what a Hindu/Sikh actually is [/QUOTE]
