[QUOTE="BlazinSikh, post: 175269, member: 15467"] [FONT=Arial]Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh, What is happening to Sikhi??? This question may cause controversy, so i will try to explain carefully on what i am trying to say here. Well last night i was trying to get to sleep, an early sleep for fact, as i have been trying to do my nitnem, however last night i was unable to do so. Reason being is well my mind was some focused on the state of sikhi in to todays modern time, and well it just really shocked my to see so much falseness in today sikhi.

When i look at lifestyles like Christainity and Islam all i see is brotherhood between them, from different colour, ethnics, background and so on, and yes i do know that they also have sects within there "religions", but they are still unified.

T[SIZE=2]hen you[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] have the[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] Namdharis, that [SIZE=2]also do follow the sikh[SIZE=2] teachin[SIZE=2]g, but they believe Jagjit[SIZE=2] Singh as the living guru[SIZE=2].
