    Why do Hindus eat chicken/ fish but not other meat?

    I am not into the religion, but the philosophy still interests me greatly. I am familiar with that sakhi, but I've never seen the tail end re. God being neither Hindu or Muslim. It stops at "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim." That is the important bit. Anyway.. *quietly bows out of the...

    I am no longer a Sikh

    Ah, I always come back to the Sikh philosophy. Religion - not so much. But the philosophy does have immense value, and provides a framework for thought, conduct and contentment.

    Over-Exposure to Music

    But that's just it. Maybe there's something to be 'heard' in the silence.

    Over-Exposure to Music

    If you're anything like me, you get songs stuck in your head all the friggin' time. You have music in your car, music while you're doing the housework, music behind those dog rescue clips on Youtube, music on TV, music on your phone, music in the shopping centre. It's no wonder we hum and sing...

    These shaloks are by Baba Fareed Ji on panna 1384 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Baba Fareed was a Sufi who lived between 1173 and 1266, in the Punjab area of India. Although he predates Guru Nanak Sahib Ji (the first Sikh Guru) by 200 years, Guru Nanak saw that his poetry aligned with his...

    Treated Badly at Work?

    --- Community Service Announcement Do not trust your colleagues/managers/etc. They are your coworkers, not your friends. Do your job to the best of your ability, but stay detached from your workplace and the people in it. Your loyalty will not be rewarded, you are expendable, they will stab...

    Just Not Feeling it Anymore

    Have you tried recompiling your kernel? Ahahahah... Like Quintessence said, spiritual experience waxes and wanes. One of the greatest challenges is sticking with it while the tide is out. In my experience the tide always comes back in with more clarity, realism and warmth than before. And...

    The following is a passage from a popular Sikh shabad called Sukhmani (Peace of Mind). Sukhmani is written in a poetic style called 'Ashtapadi' which means 'eight stanzas'. Each set of eight stanzas is prefaced by a short clause called a Shalok. It starts on Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji panna...

    Atheists, what do you most miss about the time you were a theist?

    1. The food. Sikh langar is delicious! 2. Sikh japna - meditation on a word or phase. 3. Reading Sikh scripture (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji) and feeling so light and wonderful and connected as it can make one feel. 4. A sense of "higher" duty and purpose, something to stand for, feeling special.

    Halal meat and Muslims selecting food in non-Muslim countries

    Hello I hope you are all having a blessed Ramadan so far. Can you please tell me, for Muslims living in non-Muslim countries, where meat products may not be labelled 'halal', does the Muslim need to be a vegetarian? Or can they eat the regular meat available as long as it is not pork? Many...

    Does Anyone Go On Yahoo Answers

    I used to, a *lot*, but I've forgotten my username so I never go there anymore. It was a lot of fun answering questions, but terribly annoying when you'd go to a lot of effort, reference your sources, etc, and the asker gives 'best answer' to someone whose written one line and it's crap. edit...
