[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 160031, member: 16886"] I would just like to explain briefly my position Firstly, I am a 3rd generation anglo-indian, as my father infact, was born in the UK like me. Most of us in the west have parents that were originally from India. You could say, I am a generation ahead and represent most of your childrens future in terms of generations. What i'm trying to say in a nutshell is that my upbringing was very isolated. My father stayed in line with his faith as respect to his parents but did not expect me to carry the surname or faith with pride.( he would often say to my mother that I'll come home with a gori, and that they will have to accept) He was very intouch with the world and in all honesty didn't expect me to be following the path of sikhi given my surroundings and influences. This was due to my upbringing, I was the only indian kid upto the age of 16 in school and you bet I experienced plenty of racism and predjudice along the way. Christianity was a huge part of my life at school. At a young age I was aware of God, was taught and told stories about sikhism at home, but learned about Jesus and the bible at school. The teachings at school were very good and were very lovingly convincing at that age and I knew no different about seperate religions. I grew up confused and unsure where I belong although I strongly believed in one God. I chose to NOT follow any path, but felt confident that I could attain God without a religion. To me religion just seemed like a path to help get to a destination, I felt I could make my own journey. People would call me an atheist, as I followed no faith, I had to agree. I won't get into much detail but I am here today because of Bani. Lots of people find their faith, but to me it was more like Bani found me (via kirtan and books) and through this channel I found my way into Sikhism. One of the first shabads I came across was 'Bani guru, guru hai bani'. It was such a shabad that pulled me strongly into learning more. Ever since I have been learning and have experienced many many acts of God. I just wanted to emphasise that Bani is of great significance to a no good guy like me, it is the ultimate true 'pavithar' word that pulls me strongly. With the help of bani, I realise how much I need the religion and the Guru. What I find really amazing is how much of it just makes a lot of simple sense for someone like me who is learning punjabi all the while. Waheguru LuckySingh [/QUOTE]
