[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 120766, member: 138"] [b]Re: What does "excommunication" mean in light of Guru Nanak's philosophy?[/b] Bhagat Singh ji, Guru fateh. Great question! Lots of people confuse Sikhi with other dogmatic religions where people are kicked out, ex-communicated and these people then go to the WalMart of religions/denominations and choose one more to their present liking. The case in point is "Rev. Alberto Cutié, the popular Miami Beach priest famous for his Spanish-language television and radio talk shows, cavorting amorously on a Florida beach with an attractive woman. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] Read more: [url=http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1896581,00.html#ixzz0fksLAoWW]The Father Cutie Scandal: Sex and the Single Priest - TIME[/url] Alberto Cutié, the popular Catholic priest in Miami who was caught canoodling with his lady love, has now switched denominations to the Episcopal Church and plans to marry. [url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles_of_faith/2009/05/cutie.html]Miami priest Cutie joins Episcopal Church - Articles of Faith - Boston.com[/url] Sikhi is not based on these kinds of dogmatic principles. How can one stop a Sikh from learning because we all know that the wrod Sikh stands for a student? How can some authourity make someone divorce one from the self? The basic idea of establishing the Akal Takhat by Guru Hargobind Sahib was to solve the problems that Sikhi faced so it could advance on its spiritual path. Its main objective was and still is to act like a machete to make the Sikhi marg accessible to all who seek to walk the walk. What the honchos in power have done is to make mockery of this beautiful idea and induce Hindutva mentality in it rather trying to find ways to totally get rid of it. A True Akal Takhat can still do that. Tejwant Singh [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
