[QUOTE="amitverma, post: 26518, member: 2929"] [b]Re: Hinduism and Sikhism[/b] Dear Amarpal Ji, A per you Hinduism and Sikhism are two different paths and hence the two religions are different. It is not true. Read below words of Guru Gobind Singh ji [FONT=Arial]Ram katha jug jug atal / Sab koi bhakhat net Suragbas Raghuver kara / Sagri puri samet Jo en Katha sune aur gaave / Dukh pap tah nikat na aave ~ [B][COLOR=#0000ff]Guru Gobind Singh[/COLOR][/B] ([COLOR=#a58959][B]The story of Ram is immortal and everyone should read it. [/B][/COLOR]Ram went to heaven along with the whole city. Whoever listens to or sings His story, will be free of sin and sorrow.) * Vedahun vidit dharma pracharyun / Gohat kalamka vishva nivaryun Sakal jagat mein Khalsa Panth gaajey / Jagey dharm Hindu sakal bhand bhajey ~ Guru Gobind Singh ([B][COLOR=#a58959]May I preach the Vedas to the whole mankind / May I remove the blot of cow-slaughter from the whole world / May the Khalsa Panth reign supreme / Long live Hinduism and falsehood perish[/COLOR][/B]). What do you say about this?[/FONT] Read my answers below to your justifications: (i) Hindu religion is based on Varnashram i.e. four castes (Bhrahmins, Kashatriyas, Vasyas and Shudras) and four stages in life (Brahamcharya, Grahastha, Sanyasa and Vanprastha) The whole religion and practices are designed based on it. Sikh religion does not accept this concept. You as a sikh do not accept it but still practice it. You never marry your sister/brother/son/daughter to a schedule caste unless and untill you are sc. Matrimonials ads in papers/web suggests that. Am I right? (ii) Hindu religion does not consider all humans as born equal, women are equated with Shudras. Where as Sikh religion does not support such discrimination. Those days are gone but there are still hindu and sikh families who celebrate boys birth and not girls. In my opinion girls are equal to boys. How many Lady Granthis have you seen so far? (iii) Hindu religion consider Sanskrit as divine language which Gods understand. Sikh religion does not consider any language as divine. Most of the words in SGGS and Dasam Granth are in Sanskrit e.g. par braham parmeshwar, jagdish, nirankar etc. Jap, Jaap, sukhmani, kirtan, rahras are all sanskrit words. How many times namah ward comes in jaap sahib. (iv) Hindu religion supports worship of idols, Sikh religion demands worship of Nirakaar. correct, you cannot get nirankar without a guru and in hindu religion idols are medium. (v) Sikh religion demands that its followers directly worship the Absolute 'The Sat' where as Hindu religion supports worship of Gods and Godesses and trinity which by its own scripture is born and have a life span (Bhagvatam gives the age of present Brahma and also tells when this Bramha will be dissolved). As I said before, you need a guru to reach to nirankaar (vi) Sikh religion is democratic and corporate in nature, where each devotee has direct access to 'The Sat', where as in Hindu religion the prayers have to be routed through the Brahman priest. To prevent from Sikhs getting into this practice Guru Sahib has abolished Priesthood. All the ardaas is done by granthi. All paths are performed by granthi. So, what is granthi singh? nothing but a priest or pandit. (vii) Hindu relion says that God will descend on earth to distroy evil. Sikh religion says that the individual and the Panth has to fight its own worldly battles. Guru Sahibs have lived the life to demonstrate this to Sikhs and have give sword to us to defend our rights. All ten gurus are divine powers and have come to earth to destry evil. read dasam granth (viii) Hindu religion belives in Miracles, where as Sikh Gurus refused to do so. You are using miracles in a wrong way, there are lot of examples in sikh history where miracles were shown. Namashkar Amit Verma [/QUOTE]
