    The political aspect of Sikhi

    The politics or soldier aspect of Sikhi was not an innovation of Guru Gobind Singh as is often wrongly implied. In fact the Khalsa was a vision of Guru Nanak and the following Gurus did not deviate from Sikhi (unlike some authors and scholars who claim that the 6th or 10th Guru 'deviated' from...

    Guru Nanak Dev Ji & Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

    I have read some books which talk of Guru Jis meeting with Chaitanya, thats is very interesting. I think it was in Jagannath Puri. Is there still a specific sect which has Chaitanya as its 'Guru'? Do any of the Granths related to Chaitanya talk about any such meeting?

    Sikhs: Do all 'religions' lead to God?

    This is a misconception. There are many evil cults out there, do they lead to god too, No they don't. Who will define whether a religion is not a cult? Just because many people seem to follow something it doesn't make it a religion, there was a time when Nazism was rampant We as Sikhs do...

    Gurus, prophets, religious leaders who led exemplary lives?

    Guru Nanak Dev Ji would definitely be there, in fact he should be in any list. He travelled around the world preaching against tyranny, blind rituals, opression, discrimination (caste, religion and gender) etc. Visiting as far as Tibet, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Mecca in 4 journeys He, unlike some...

    Wrong translations of Gurbani

    In this topic I'll post wrong translations of Gurbani on known sites and correct them (or post other translations) to the best of my ability. You are free to do so too or ask questions about certain verses. Common things include the discussion about 'sochai soch na hovaee', the God incarnation...

    Precursor to Red Cross in Sikh History

    Due to the message of equality and rejection of state sponsored atrocities being preached by the Gurus, they were often the target of attacks by the neighbouring kingdoms and the Moghul emperors. The Sikhs defended themselves in many such battles. In the battle of Anandpur (1705), the tenth...

    Sikhi for Seekers

    Seekers often do not get to read as much into Sikhi as other religions, perhaps because it is a relatively new religion or there is simply not much awareness. Sikhi is a universal religion which believes: * That there is one Universal Creator God. He is everywhere, in everyone so we ought...

    Sikhi, other religions & Bhagats

    Treks Phenji, why not shift our discussion to this seperate thread? 3) Hajj, Ramadan etc are essential parts of Islam but these are rejected outright in Gurmat. This in fact shows that Islam is not the way to reach Waheguru according to Sikhi. The page you talk about is two things: 3.1. We...

    Sikhism & Ecological Issues Gurmukh Singh (UK) “Nights, seasons, wind, water, fire and nether worlds…in the midst of these He set the earth as His temple so that humankind may learn and practice righteous living. Therein he created limitless diverse species with own living modes…” (GGS p. 7...

    Shahadah

    Where is the Shahadah taken from (what book)? Is it mentioned in the Quran that one has to recite the Shahada to become a Muslim? Or the Hadiths?

    Question about Sharia

    I had some questions regarding the Sharia. As far as I know, the Sharia is based on verses from the Quran and the Hadiths. But is the Sharia bound in one book, like verses from the Islamic texts put under one cover titled as the Sharia? I have tried finding the 'Sharia', but all I found...

    Supreme sacrifice of the Guru

    Not many people know about the 9th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Tegh Bahadur. The Guru was unusal in the sense that he gave up his life for the sake of another religion, a religion he did not believe in. The Hindus at that time were being persecuted by the fanatical Islamic Mughal ruler who wanted...

    Sikhi and Science

    What do you think of the booklet? islam-sikhism.info/rebut/naad/projectnaad_sikhism_science_and_quantum_physics.pdf (Edit: Can someone post the correct link? there is no space in the 'pdf' at the end, but I am not allowed to post links as of yet)

    8 Virtues of Sikhi

    Even though you can not divide Sikhi in easy formulas (such as five pillars, etc), this is an attempt to explain the virtues in Sikhi philosophy. Nowhere in the Guru Granth Sahib is it mentioned that there are only 8 virtues, in fact there are more. No specific number is given in the Guru Granth...
