    What are your religion about ?

    Dear Pastek Ji Sikh scripture is called Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and is 1430 pages of poetry. You can read the English translation here: www.srigranth.org One of my favourite bania (hymns) to contemplate on regarding life, death and the universe is quite long (57 stanzas), so I'll only share...

    Seekers Unite! :)

    I'm not sure who you're addressing, but I'll respond anyway. I have looked into Baha'i, but I can't get past the fact that women are not allowed to serve on the World Council thingy.

    Women and Samsara

    Which schools \ dharmic religions believe that women are a step below men on the cycle of samsara? I've heard some Buddhists say that a woman cannot become enlightened, but she must be reincarnated as a man, first. Are there others? Can Buddhists please clarify the above? Many thanks

    Mazda & Yahweh: the same god?

    Wow, St Augustine paints with a broad brush! Sikhi doesn't have roots in Abrahamic religion, so I'm not sure how he concludes they are 'worshipping the same God'.

    I am so, so sorry

    Well, to be honest, if I was really sorry, I wouldn't have done it in the first place, not continue to do it after making the apology.

    Where Doth Thy Spirit Thrive?

    In any situation where I am blessed with that connection. Sometimes that's in nature, and sometimes it's in the Gurdwara. Sometimes alone, sometimes with people. One of the strongest experiences I've ever had was standing on the train, squished like sardines on the way to work. I was reading...

    I am so, so sorry

    Usually I'm playing Agar.io, or I've wandered away from the PC to nap or eat chocolate. That's really all I do while on holidays haha

    I think I might have found an answer in Sikhi, but feel like I'm flip-flo

    The translation is there. :) This is a good resource to learn the Gurmukhi letters. http://www.barusahib.org/Assets/Publications/PunjabiPrimer.pdf This is also an excellent video: The only thing to remember when applying it to Gurbani is that, in Gurbani, most of the times the last vowel...

    Why I'm Seeking in Sikhi

    There are quite a few good resources out there now, like Gurbani -> English dictionaries and steeks (although the steeks are in Punjabi), sadly. At least the dictionaries remove the problem of the multiple languages seen in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, you are right that it's difficult to...

    Quote of the day

    Jio is an affectionate spin on the respectful suffix 'ji'. The "standard translation" of the Mool Mantar is: ੴ Ik▫oaʼnkār One Universal Creator God ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ saṯ nām The Name Is Truth ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ karṯā purakẖ Creative Being Personified ਨਿਰਭਉ nirbẖa▫o No Fear ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ nirvair No Hatred ਅਕਾਲ...

    Make It Compulsory to teach Gen 9:1 to 9:19 In All Abrahamic, Schools, Mosques Synagogues & Church

    You haven't offended me, I'm merely pointing out that Sikhs have no relevance to your message in any way, shape or form; so stop saying it. :)
