[QUOTE="Admin, post: 52306, member: 1"] I may sound sarcastic to some after reading this post but i would share what i think... thanks for bearing with me everybody... :) I think some of us are reacting too naive to the situation in hand. If some of the members do not seem to tackle the queries of people like devkumar or nadeem in a friendly logical manner that does not mean that these people have joined the forum with an agenda or something... For the sake of information of everybody around here: devkumar ji has requested that all his posts and username be deleted from this forum as to him sikhism seems to be a personal property of sikhs alone. I am afraid this is exactly the impression they are getting from us, the sikhs, as we are opening an undue fortress each time something is asked on sikhism... It is our own shortcomings to think otherwise rather than they coming with an agenda. Sikhism is not all about living in a shell... its a global concept and thats why concept of SPN was originated where everybody from around the world with variable religious and cultural backgrounds could join and share their philosophy... but the situation seems to be totally opposite, with fellow sikhs representing themselves as being hostile and narrow minded towards other philosophies... The purpose of SPN seems defeated but there is some light at the end of tunnel with the presense of members like aa0002 & Surinder Cheems ji... There are many sikh forums online which are totally dedicated to sikhism and they do not seem to entertain any of other thought processess... even near to their forums. This is a big loss for sikhism, as we can not take sikh philosophy to the masses as was done by our Gurus, who went from country to country to spread the message of almighty. Unfortunately, when someone adherent to other philosphies, who has been brought up like that way, comes and tries to learn about sikh philosophy, what we are presenting them:--> Total hostality, our fears, our insecurities... Do you think this is going to spread the word of Guru beyond our closed mindsets? We, the sikhs very proudly say: go away from here, this is a sikh forum!! Sounds pretty disgracful to me... and to any person with sensible mindset. Why it is so hard for us to accept a new thought process and deliberate on it in a logical manner rather opening an offensive from the word go. I think People who accepted the words of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, during those turbulent times with open hands and minds, were more open minded than we, the present sikhs are, who can not even allow persons from other religious following to come and share their thoughts in an open friendly manner on a "sikh forum"... I[U]t would be more appropriate to call upon more learned sikhs on this forum, who can enter intro a formal dialogue and represent sikhs in a better light...[/U] My views were to reiterate the point that Sikhism Philosophy Network welcomes everybody from evey corner of the world, with variable religious and cultural backgounds. Again, i would request you to read the Terms of Service (see my signatures below) very carefully and if you all can not abide by these rules then i am afraid this forum not for you... Choice is yours. Thanks for your reading my thoughts. Warm Regards. [/QUOTE]
