    I am writing a Final research paper on Sikhism and need help

    Hello Kgarc. I offer the following information despite not residing in the US and with a faith that is more Sikh-inspired than Sikh-identifying. I have spent a long time learning about Sikhi and for a time seriously considered baptism. I believe this qualifies me to post here in good faith...

    A Seeker's Dilemma

    May I suggest exploring Stoicism? It may give you just enough God to give you some connection, can provide a solid philosophical foundation for a worldview, and it's exercises are often called "spiritual exercises". If this sounds of interest, I suggest starting here: Traditional Stoicism I...

    What do you do for a living?

    I've worked in a florist cleaning pots, prepping flowers and foliage, and maintaining the PC. I've been an office clerk doing accounts and payroll a couple of times. I've been a library technician and a council rates officer. My career for nearly the last decade, however, has been office...

    Catholic Church Denies First Communion to Girl Who Wanted to Wear a Suit

    Thanks! Does a pant suit class as clothing pertaining to a man? If so, I'm confused how people get around this rule? Why would anyone want to talk first communion in clothes that the Lord himself says are an abomination?

    Catholic Church Denies First Communion to Girl Who Wanted to Wear a Suit

    But, isn't there something in the Bible about not wearing clothes meant for the opposite sex?

    The experience of stillness

    It might be best not to ask and not establish an expectation within yourself. But you do you.

    Where is Your Sacred Space?

    I voted 'Wherever I happen to be' because I agree with what some other posters have said - it's about attention, or being present, wherever you are. Some environments help certain people pay more attention to the sacred. I just noticed you can do multiple votes, so I'm going to add 'church and...

    The experience of stillness

    Just out of curiosity, what do you think it means, and what do you feel you should do next?

    Sanatan Sikhi .. does that mean .. ?

    Interesting. That's what I thought. And you're right that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji doesn't explicitly denounce Hindu deities. It sometimes doesn't have very nice things to say about them, but it doesn't condemn anyone for worshipping them.

    Sanatan Sikhi .. does that mean .. ?

    If Sanatan Sikhs continue to believe in and worship Hindu gods, does it follow that there could be Sikhs from other cultures who likewise continue to believe in and worship the gods of their own cultures or their ancestors? For example, let's say a Greek person who followed reconstructionist...

    Buddhists: Some Questions

    Hi Buddhist RFers I watched a discussion between a Buddhist and a follower of another path. I wanted to test if the statements I noted from what the Buddhist said hold true for you. I apologise if I've misunderstood something terribly and made a right mess of any of these statements. Many...

    Random Thoughts

    If astronauts muscles decay in space because there is no gravity, why don't they build weights into their space suits so it's heavier for them to move? (actual thought I had recently while struggling with the lack of buoyancy in a local spa.. until I realised what I was thinking!)

    Similarities between Guru Nanak and Shirdi Sai Baba

    I suppose Muslims and Sikhs both have their already established teachers integral to their own religions. Sai Baba only died around the year 1915 and it seems (from a cursory read) that he was neither Hindu nor Muslim (and also not Sikh). On the face of it it does look like he was talking...

    There are actually 12 human Gurus of Sikhism

    10 (and only 10) human Gurus are recognised by mainstream Sikhi. Here is some information about them from Wikipedia and here on page one of the Shiromani Gurdwaras Parbandhak Committee's official Sikh Rehat Maryada (Code of Conduct) again it is emphasized that a Sikh is someone who faithfully...

    Are meat and bhaang disallowed in Dharmic religion?

    It's Holaa Mahallaa if you want to transliterate it strictly from the Gurmukhi.
