I'am a Brazilian Cubano Sikh and would ery much like to work with this progress, its wonderful and beautiful to spread our existence to other and always doing what good for the masses, congrats on the video.

[@4377rav]

I wish you the best on your journey. And yes there's is a difference between religion and culture. culture can discriminate, but Sikhi teaches equality and justice

[@HarpreetSingh-lj1rx]

I saw a black sikh in 1997 my trip to harmindir sahib, amritsar punjab, she look beautiful with the turban🙏🇸🇬

[@jeetsohpal557]

Sat Sri Akaal my sister! Much love and welcome to the beautiful faith that is Sikhism. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fateh! 🙏🏽🪯👊🏾✊🏾

The Guru Granth Sahib opens with the basic concept of the One Universal, supreme Energy called by so many different names across humanity,. Ik oankar - One absolute being (God) Satnam - Eternal truth it's name Karta Purkh - Creator Nirbau - without fear Nirvair - without hate/ enmity Akal Murat - Deathless/timeless image Ajuni - Beyound birth and death Saibang - self existant Gurprasad - known by the Guru's Grace. This is repeated numerous times and at the start of every section as a constant reminder. In the words of the tenth Sikh Guru - Guru Gobind Singh "recognise the human race as ONE"

God is in all . He is not sitting somewhere but in our hearts near us . Love His creation and Him in all

I’ve been looking to join this faith being black American but I was asking the same questions thanks for helping

[@AmmiV2]

Wait your black and sikh, I love it

[@gurdhiansingh1606]

As form a sikh family I appreciate your work Sikhism is based on serving humanity with heart of inclusion

[@MK68-419]

I am a second generation American-Indian Sikh. It made me sad to hear about what you had to go through, cus the basics of sikhi is literally equality and there are racist idiots and other ignorant people who are Sikh. I've had my own share of frustration with these kinds of people, I just recognize that those kind of people were essentially *born* into the religion and don't really follow it closely beyond cultural understandings. Although no one group can be "all good", as it's impossible, but we should all be striving for good, no matter the religion.

[@HarpreetSingh-lj1rx]

True brother.. There are se morons who actually, I acm say are more anti sikha than other way around

[@awesomestevie27]

It feels good to see the effect of our guru Ji effecting people outside of panjab Waheguru

[@vikasbhatiauk]

Wgjkk wgjkf. I’m new to sikhi also but as a non-Punjabi brown person who grew up around black people I totally get where you’re coming from! I totally understand your observations and love the way you bring them to the world! Here’s to you and your path. 🙏🏽

[@UAVWRIGHT]

Any beginner books I can read to help me learn and understand more? As I’m new to this faith but have been around Sikhs for a few years that I love the morals and understandings they teach

[@BLACKxSIKH]

hey there! if you DM us on Ig [@BLACKxSIKH] we direct you to some resources that may help! 💙🧡✊🏾 [just remind us of this comment.]

You are brilliant!!! waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguruji ki fateh

[@RajveerSingh-zz2ou]

Such problems in a community that once used to stretch from Afghanistan all the way up to Ladakh, with the 5 pyaare coming from across the Indian subscontinent, with Guru Tegh Bahadur ji going to preach as far as Assam, really show the sad, backwards affects of a community that failed to expand and got too concentrated in a small region especially after the partition. But it's so encouraging to see people such as you embracing the message and the foundation of the message and not letting the punjabi community deter you from it. I'm quite sorry this has been your experience. Those within the punjabi community can be somewhat insular in their thinking, but I do see things slowly changing. Your faith would put that of so many so called 'authentic' punjabi sikhs to issue. Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateth. Manas ki jaat sad EK pachanbo

[@eltxWTCH]

Yooo this is dope to see! Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Keep shining bright

[@arvindersinghhoney6104]

One GOD One CREATOR = SIKHS

[@BLACKxSIKH]

YURP! 🖤✊🏾

[@darkrai98k69]

ik onkar doesnt mean one god it means every god is the part of one god and [ onkar and omkar are the same ] omkar is the word came from sanskrit .... which means brahman ... the universal god

[@BLACKxSIKH]

Recommend checking out Nanak Naam. They have a great video on Ik Onkar. Thanks for watching x joining the conversation. 🖤🤘🏾

[@bharatindia8956]

Black or White,.brown or Pale...any person can be a Sikh. I am expecting even Blue Aliens to be Sikhs on their respective Planets.. .lots of love

[@harminderkaur8519]

We are all one, there is God in all of us, its realised through Gurbani the Word of God. As our souls become purified through our actions and meditation we become like the droplets of an ocean (God) part of the same consciousness. Our souls never die, we become one with the creator free from the cycle of life and death. Being a Sikh is a greatest gift and a blessing ❤

[@sipahi1699]

[@ballychapman4093]

I remember in the early 80’s there were quite a few British Blacks who adopted the Sikh faith in the UK. They wore the full Sikh uniform in their daily life’s, but got a lot push back from the enforcement that eventually they walked away from this path.

[@BLACKxSIKH]

Wow. i don't blame them. If they were treated anything like how we get treated, i don't blame them one bit. BTW, I think you mean "Black _people."_ 😬

[@MK68-419]

On a seperate point, I have noticed a lot of cultures put an emphasis on the importance of hair. It's interesting to see across the board.

[@16JayP]

That's the exact same reason I could never submit to an Abrahamic religion. The idea of heaven and hell just seems like a lure and fear tactic.

[@ballychapman4093]

The best research tool to learn about Sikhi is ‘SIKHRI’. Especially Harinder Singh’s talk regarding why Guru Nanak Dev Ji came into this world! 🙏🏼

[@BLACKxSIKH]

Hello, Thank you for the information! Most of us have been learning and practicing Sikhi for nearly a decade, some of us _longer._ All of us have learned directly from mentors and other Sikhs who've been Sikh longer than we've been alive. Some of us are even Khalsa! We'll add your suggestion to our Discord's resources channel, for new Sikhs who may find it useful! Thanks so much! : )

wonderful

[@kamaljitkaursandhu197]

Awesome

[@iamphull]

Guru Maharaj ordered to both genders to wear Dastaars.. Problem with Panjabi Sikhs parents they ask us boys to tie Dastaar but not girls.. So Sikh girls need to inspire other Sikh girls to tie Dastaar, I remember 20 years back it was so rare to see Sikh girls with Dastaar, only few Nihang...women would tie Dastaar, but now it's changing, more girls are wearing Dastaar.... Just read Guru Granth Saab, Dasam Granth Ji with meaning.. Bani & Guru Maharaj kirpa(grace) will tell a Sikh from inside to tie Dastaar..

[@ballychapman4093]

Being followed around the Gurdwara, was probably more to do with their curiosity than anything else. Any foreign person visiting India, will naturally be followed around. The people there are just curious.

[@BLACKxSIKH]

why try to gaslight us? the people admitted they thought we were there to steal. Soorma even says in one of our videos that he found out later, when they told him they thought he was there to steal. instead of believing us when we tell you what we experience, you gaslight us and try to convince us we experienced something other than what we know we experienced. it's really unkind + harmful. we welcome questions. we encourage curiosity + questions over assumptions + accusations.

[@BLACKxSIKH]

and this was not in India. this happens to many Black Sikhs in multiple Gurdwaras in Texas, California, UK, + Canada. why is it difficult for y'all to believe Black Sikhs when we share our experiences?

[@Bluelu69]

@@BLACKxSIKHsorry that happened to you. We can all do better.

[@GurjeetSingh-su4vs]

& am srry on behalf if u find & faced any racism frm panjabi sikh community coz ama be honest most people from india r just like that they just had this misconceptions bout white skin tone coz idk where this comin frm yk coz our Gurus nvr ever taught us that so if any sikh ever tries to rasist with u i cnt consider them as sikh but yea most of aren't like that & itss maybe coz of we hvn't seen much blck sikh women in particular maybe its juss curiosity i hope so .. btw Waheguru ji bless ur soul

[@prableenkaur4376]

The closest ism to sikhi is Monism

[@RASH_TheBandit]

*All respect to your decisions and to your belief system* On a healthy discussion my question is what was the fundamental aspect of Sikhism that made you believe that this is your way of life..?? A religion movement which only started during 1649 or so in punjab India. The very first Guru was born within a hindu family, so he was in the Hinduism belief system (which most likely total guess, it did not resonate with him). Is Sikhism divinely inspired is it from Our Lord Our Creator. Or man made innovation infusing the best of everything (mainly influenced by Islam and Hinduism)

[@KortinaMusic]

I love your show and i love that you have embraced the Sikh way of life... but I cannot accept you were discriminated by all Sikhs..surely not all... but you sound as if it's everyone one of them. Please re address the balance .

[@BLACKxSIKH]

give me a timestamp where anyone says we were discriminated against by ALL Sikhs. and while you're at, make sure you list all the times we say Sikhs have been welcoming to us and helped us out. please address the balance.
