Apparently, you've never met Riders or have not taken her "Riders 102" course.why would you want to be taught in advance of being taught?
Hi Ronki, I think your post needs a few corrections.1. Buddhism Siddhartha Gautama was a Hindu Prince born to a Nepalese/Nepali Royal family.
2. Hinduism Born near the river Sindhu in India's Indus Valley,
3. ..@Aupmanyav knows more than me i.e. which Gods were indigenous to India and Vedas and which came from Greece and Rome
I have a guy who has offered to teach me about Sikh ,I'm wondering if anyone can explain it to me?Debate is welcome.
The present day Sikhs are simple and innocent people, they have been given to believe that they are following in the footsteps of Nanak while, I understand, that is not the case. Right, please?
Regards
"Where did you get such an idea?"Where did you get such an idea?
Riders, I hope the chap you mentioned in OP can teach you stuff about Sikhism, rather than listening to non-Sikhs.
You inferred that today's Sikh's are the way they are today (a huge generalisation, BTW) by reading their sacred book? So Nanak prophesised how Sikhs would behave today?"Where did you get such an idea?"
I understood that from reading Nanak's hymns in the Granth, please. Right, please?
Regards

So by the same logic, I can understand you by reading the Koran, or the works of the Mirza Gulam?

so we all do the 'learner' statusThe word "Sikh" itself = "Learner"
Sikh doesn't mean.. a turban, a beard or an any special type of clothing, or ritual etc. (Beware! becuase Its all just man made things)
Everybody/everyone on this earth is "Learner" (Sikh) by default because nobody is complete on this earth.
There's NO need to be "Sikh" because all people are "Sikhs" on this earth, by default.
Yes its also true to say that: "Sikh" = "By-default"
No need to be
so we all do the 'learner' status
ok......we do
but when we stand before God and heaven......
do we get to plead? ....ignorance
I think not
ok.....but...You are right.
You need NOT to plead
I think better question here is: Do all people/souls go to God/Heaven right after death ?
Answer: NO.
Because: Once one is in Heaven / or in front of God,
Its like, at the same-very-moment one finds himself/herself as"Drop" into "Sea" (Soul merge into God)
Thereafter, Soul and God are one with each other.
Thereafter, No duality, only single.
Thereafter, Nobody left behind to make any kind of complain, or anything
ok.....but...
I got this story of God's Favored leading a rebellion
and serious losses followed
and I don't think a plea of ignorance was allowed
and I say in return....Actually, plea to ignorance is NOT allowed if you want to go to Heaven/God after death.
IF, you are NOT interested going to God/Heaven after death, then everything is fine, Nothing is problem.
Actually, one also need to understand that:
What place is heaven actually ? What is that one is missing by NOT going to heaven ?
The day one understand WHAT one has missed until now ?
The day one becomes APATHETIC in true terms,
The day one realize that the whole life he/she spent in HELL.
The day one realize that this earth is no more than a HELL,
The day one turns into Serious-Sikh, rather a Non-serious-Sikh
The natural word "sikh" (with the letter "S" not capitalized) would mean "learner" , I agree with one, but the term "Sikh" with capital "S" would mean a member of the Religion "Sikhism", whether one is a learner or not. Right, please?The word "Sikh" itself = "Learner"

Religion DOESN’T mean any special kind of community, or a mind set.The natural word "sikh" (with the letter "S" not capitalized) would mean "learner" , I agree with one, but the term "Sikh" with capital "S" would mean a member of the Religion "Sikhism", whether one is a learner or not. Right, please?
