    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    The milk washing is done at Harmandir Sahib only, and it's silly and needs to change. It has no historical basis and no logical reason for it to occur. Just like how women very rarely get to do kirtan seva at Harmandir Sahib. Discrimination like that isn't meant to happen either, but it does...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Give me an example from Sikhi. Some people will hold their religion above all else. Sikhi is a pragmatic way of life that embraces science in all it's glory and in it's rightful place. I'm not understanding the relevance of this to the thread, though. Try searching for "Allah". There are some...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Sikhs DO NOT view Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the book above all books in the entire world. It is their one and only sacred scripture. It is for a spiritual purpose. Science books are for science. The two don't cross over and neither does one have "upmanship" over the other. For a Sikh, the...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    I wasn't comparing Hindu deities to the FSG. It was a stand alone example. What do you base this statement on? Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was the only book given Gurgaddi by Guru Gobind Singh himself. So why should the DG with it's multitude of pr0n stories be held higher? Unless of course...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Just because a book has the words 'Flying Spaghetti Monster' in it doesn't mean the author actually believes in said monster. Not exactly mainstream Sikhi, hence "Udasee panth" to denote the difference. That quote is not from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. There is nothing of Guru Gobind Singh...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    A Sikh is encouraged to focus on the here-and-now, their place in the world, and living an honest, productive, meaningful life. Presuming to know what 'Brahman' wanted is very low on the to-do list. But it's still fascinating to read about, so thank you.

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    I believe I've tried to address your first examples earlier in the thread, as well as the mentioning of Hindu deities in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The thing is, for a Sikh, Hindu deities do not have a purpose. They do not come into their mind. If they exist or don't exist is completely and...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Perhaps at the time, Khalistan wasn't an idea very well developed in the Sikh culture. Perhaps it has only taken off in more recent times.

    I'm really sorry I sent that email at 11.30pm your time. I hope it didn't wake you up. I meant to save the draft to send tomorrow morning but I hit 'send' out of habit. *hangs head in shame*

    **is it right for my indian friend to sell things his religion disagrees with?**

    Meat is not forbidden to Sikhs. Halal meat is forbidden to initiated Sikhs due to war with Turkish invaders when the instruction was given. So no problem selling meat. Alcohol is not forbidden to non-initiated Sikhs. Alcohol and other intoxicants are forbidden to initiated Sikhs as they were...

    Music conductors on stage: are they really necessary?

    I love watching the conductor. :) That's all I have to add on the subject.

    Prayer is very Erotic

    Interesting thread. I found that when I started calling my guy "my lord" it did become rather distracting when encountering terms like that during prayer. I often though I shouldn't play that type of dom/sub game, because of the potential for it to corrupt my spiritual practice. But then I...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Sikh Sangat is just one Sikh forum - you can't make assumptions about all Sikhs based on the users of that one (fundamentalist) forum. Many, many Sikhs want justice, or even acknowledgement, with regard to 1984 and the aftermath. These Sikhs DO NOT necessarily want Khalistan (the territory)...
