    Interested in Makkah- how does it operate?

    Sorry for commenting in the Islam DIR, but just wanted to share that Sikhs certainly don't believe that Guru Nanak Sahib Ji was a Muslim. You can search YouTube for the Basics of Sikhi channel and find the series of videos 'Was Guru Nanak Muslim?' - in part #2 Bhai Sahib talks about the cloak...

    Sikhi pictas

    MV ji I particularly like the second one down because, if you look real close, you can see her hairs. It's an incredibly empowering picture for Singhnis! Thank you :)

    Need advice... Clashing feelings about faiths!

    Trust your higher self. Have you investigated other kinds of therapy? There are lots of different techniques. Perhaps you need to find a therapist nearby who uses a different approach. Aaaaand belated happy birthday to your husband. :)

    C'est la vie

    It's good that you're keeping a level head about these matters. Sikhi is awesome (if I do say so myself) but it can get pretty difficult when family aren't on board, and when you're alone. I realise that's true of most religions, but I only have experience of Sikhi, and some awareness of the...

    Non-duality in Sikhism

    Please forgive me for adding this as a side note; Haumai is a term that really gets to the crux of the issue for Sikhi. Translated as ego or pride, it can also be interpreted as 'you-me' and suggesting a division, duality, or separation. Sikhs are encouraged to conquor this sense of...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    I've put in a request for it to be moderated/moved. Thanks MV ji for your ongoing support.

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    The first part is good, it's getting to the panentheistic core of Sikhi.. but shall we walk before we run for Ronki's sake? The last part is close to disrespectful in what is the SIKH DIR for crying out loud.

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    For a Sikh, the existence of any other beings below Akaal Purakh is inconsequential. Take the shabad So Dar for example, which is illustrating a myraid of creation; taken in totallity it gives a sense of the individual human being a tiny speck in the vast expanse of Karta Purakh's creation, but...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Cooperate on what? Your statement is too broad. I'm sure Guru Gobind Singh Ji's little children would have cooperated with them if they hadn't been bricked alive for refusing to convert to Islam (which everybody knows doens't use force to convert people...).

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    There are verses which talk about Islamic practices and the word 'Allah' is used very occasionally. There are compositions by Baba Farid Ji who was a kind of Muslim, and Kabir writes a lot with references to Muslim activities.

    Yes! Another 100% Sikhism result. You're in good company Dingbat. And congratulations to you and your wife for your pregnancy - how exciting! :) Personally I think religions are suggested frameworks for individual spiritual lives. There is no one way - everyone is so individual, good...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Since when did Sikhs become a nationality? IT'S A RELIGION!!!!!!!!! What you've said is like me saying: Americans, English, Indians, New Zealanders and Christians. :facepalm:

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    This thread should be moved to the general Dharmic discussion forum. It's no longer related to Sikhism.

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    You forgot my favourite, Prof. Lawrence Krauss. <3 Authorship of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is much clearer than that of Dasam Granth.

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    LOL. What Ronki said. Yes, I deny it wholeheartedly!!! The Dasam Granth is NOT the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and even amongst Sikhs who hold the Dasam Granth in high regard they still don't put it at par with Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Depending on which Sikh you talk to, the Dasam Granth is...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    The authorship of the Dasam Granth is disputed. Most likely it's a collection of poetry bound up with some poems which may have been by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Truth is, we don't know. But it's pretty clear that if you read the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the stories in the Dasam Granth aren't exactly...

    Just what is it you're looking for?

    I'm looking for belonging and inner peace.
