Sikhi, science and modern world #1 @ UCL Sikh Society

[@musk2494]

With utmost respect to bhai Jagraj ji, I want to adress a matter where other religions and cultures are being imposed on us. One example I have is of myself when I took Amrit I was criticised by my relatives to have my hair down in style but still be Amritdhari because I was a “GIRL” and girls are supposed to be a product of beauty (western culture) and nothing to do with naam simran (sanatan matt). I was told by a neighbor to not indulge in Khande bate da amrit just because I have to get married later in life and finding a “MAN” would be impossible (punjabi culture). I was also sent home from work just because I was an amritdhari now in Melbourne because I was to be seen as an Islamic person by the guests in that hotel I worked in (Islamophobic culture). Later when I was applying to another job I was considered a threat to society because I wear kirpan. I tell you by experience when you say to Guru Sahib to help you fight these battles, they are ready with you. I am grateful to Guru Sahib that I won all these above mentioned criticisms by just believing in the strenght of my Guru Saheban. Sikhi is wonderful just amazing.

[@Mister.Miracle]

How are you doing now? Is your path still on Sikhi? Now after a few years how do you fit in society there now, much has changed in the world from a human mentality perspective.

Veerji my name is Gurpartap Singh ..m From Melbourne...when are to coming to Melbourne? . I just wanna give a tight hug and thaapi with heaps of respect and Love ...for your work and your Love for Guru..Please visit Australia...I Love U ji :)

[@basicsofsikhi]

Take some time going through the videos on our channel and reading English translations of Gurbani, you'll figure it out..there's a over a hundred videos for a reason...there's a lot to learn.

[@basicsofsikhi]

Maharaaj Kirpa we keep on, keep keeping on! Love to come to the US, but only by invitation ji, speak to your local SIkh retreat or Gurdwara..

[@vjagpal]

Science is still behind. Wait till science really try to understand fabric of reality. this is when they will see link in consciousness (jot/surat) and its connection with flow of information (shabad & hukum) in universe. And again, we should thank to Guru ji for giving us such a wisdom far ahead.

[@basicsofsikhi]

COnnect any which way you can, but dont follow me, follow Gurbani - follow SatGuru, our Guru. IF the explanations of Gurbani in our channel help you to connect to SatGuru, the Truth our Gurus brought, then thats great. If you're not getting it at the Gurdwara then get it where you can, but dont ever leave Guru for someone else. Learn from everywhere but only be loyal to Him...I may fail but He wont...if you get what I mean.

[@basicsofsikhi]

Well, kirtan is meant to be sung, even better in Sangat. So sometimes just the feeling in the sangat of singing along can be very powerful. Using software like SIkhitothemax (even on our smartphones) we can understand kirtan and also it used to be the case that kirtan included katha (ie explanations).

[@HarpreetSingh-vf6lu]

How come this isn't taught openly? Why is sikhis depth with science so hidden?

[@debayanbasu8964]

because sikhism doesnt have a Zakir Naik(Medical Doctor).

[@60-SecondsSikhi]

I wish I could tell you... more people need to know about Sikhi.

[@onwardstotruth5810]

I don't know why I should say this but I'm gonna say it, so here it is; Everyday through my actions, thoughts I don't know where I stand in the world or in the Creators court When you explain Bani it makes so simple sense it's the Truth, but I feel so many pressures in my day to day life that it stops me doing Bani Simram Naamjapna and begin the process to merge with the One that when it's time to go and the Jamdhoot takes me Daram Raj I may renter the 84,000 death and rebirth cycle again I want help spread BOS but I feel I'm not worthy of even writing this for all to see

[@DivjotSingh]

+Onwards to truth Fear is good, as told in Asa Di Vaar "Nanak Jin Man Bhau Tina Man Bhao". Now make use of the fear to remember God daily, taking one step everyday towards Vaheguru. If you can't do it alone then find satsangat! That'll surely help. Or if you can't recite then at least you can listen to baani while working on daily chores. This way you'll start memorizing some of the baani and probably start singing it during work.

[@papa63402]

when ever I hear from you(bhai jugraj singh) the message of God.... changes are seen, like it is in my front only.

[@amritasoni4263]

If my dad watched these videos, he'd feel threatened and curse you out. Most of what you're saying is opposite in spirit to everything he ever taught me about being a proper Sikh. I don't think you probably realize how much what you say flies in the face of what most Sikh kids were taught growing up (was it just me and my weird family?). That's also why I left them cause I found all the fakeness and weird moralistic Nazism to be very dark and unhuman. I feel like the past couple of days have been magic. I've been watching these and I feel like I have a whole new reason for everything. I don't even care if you read it. It's true.

[@basicsofsikhi]

Thanks Bhenji, I appreciate your comments and am glad that Guruji has given us the chance to serve the true seekers of the Truth He brought.

[@inderjitsinghdhillon]

Considerate participation in the dialogue is what the comment section is for, instead comments made are intended to demonstrate a "linguistic vigour" for and on behalf of the author who has themselves chosen to "view" the video. Sikhism has a lot of scientific knowledge problem is we look for trends within our scriptures after they are discovered rather than putting forward theories in advance. Hopefully the new Sikh universities will start to become more proactive.

[@anmolegill6098]

i use to watch these videos but something pulled me off track i really wanted to get amrit chuck and i went to the gurdwara everyday and then i was ready to take amrit and i told my mom and dad about it and they where saying just wait just wait and we are sikhs my dad does path every day in the morning but he told me to wait because my older cousin took amrit and left it and so did my older sister but my cousin is 20 now and she got amrit chuck again i get why there telling me to wait but i'm not them they don't know if i will leave amrit or not and the reason why i don't want to wait is because of my mind. The mind is a bad thing that's the thing that wants you to forget about god and is the part of u that is selfish and if you defeat your mind u will be happy and be able to meet god and the mind will make me change and slowly and convince me to not get armit chuck and its been a while now and the part of me that was so eager to get amrit chuck is fading away and i'm going to try my best to not let my mind get the better of me.

[@sikhigirl100]

come to USA YO!!!! i learned a lot! thankss! keep doing what you are doing!

[@shubhkarmansingh7865]

paji i want to be sikh how should i start?

[@DilpreetSingh-et2ze]

I have been an atheist and I am trying to learn about Sikhi and Gurbani before totally denying the existance of God and so I have been watching your videos and I have really learned things about Sikhi that I didn't know before and few things are really interesting. The most interesting thing that struck me was that, you say that we can actually experience God, that makes me really interested. But still there are questions in my mind and I feel like I can't actually start to believe 100% untill these questions still remain in my head unanswered and nobody around me has answers to them as on trying to ask them they tell me to just believe and not ask questions, so I hope you might help me. I understand that the human being has to go through incarnation and this cycle of 84 lakh life forms and that this is our chance to get to meet God back. What I don't understand is, if God (creator) wants us to remember his name so that we can get back to him/meet the one, then why does he send us to earth in the first place?

[@basicsofsikhi]

+Ðilpreet Singh Glad to hear the videos are helping bro. its a good question. Imagine if a child asked the parents why are we going on holiday when we are going to return home anyway? The parent is likely to answer that the journey is the part of the fun. This separation and the our discovery of God and eventual meeting with God is the reason this whole world was created, otherwise there is no need for creation.

[@LiberationOfMIND]

+Basics of Sikhi I am mathematician and theoretical physicist, what you are telling is not Science. Buddha denied the existence of a Creator and soul. Laplace(Mathematician) predicted blackholes even before anybody else.

[@vjagpal]

+Higgs Bosons As far i understand, Buddha is just quite on the subject of God by neither accepted nor rejected it. And reason was that he wanted his followers to experience and ultimate nature of self and call it whatever they wanted (God/Ultimate self/Boddhicitta). This is why Buddhist focus so much on meditation. Denial of Creator and soul also refers to denial of ego and go beyond self where line between self and existence is removed. From Sikhi point of view that is merging with God. On the other hand, Science can not prove or disprove existence of God but may create a formula for anything based on logic.

[@navjotsinghrajput974]

I'm too an atheist and my question is bro that if god judges souls only when they are returning to god from a human body then, how did god passed judgement on souls before evolution of humans

[@gurpartaps]

+Navjot Singh Rajput +Navjot Singh Rajput that is what we can't find out. We are the only judgement. We judge ourselves, the Granth sahib says that mann Tu jot Saroop hai apna mool pehchan, which is that man you are God yourself, know your worth. The fact that we consider humans as the only beings capable of rational decision or making a good or bad choice is an observation we make from our plane of existence. If you see by removing the thought that only man is capable of experiencing God, you find him to be even the least evolved species. Evolution and creation are all his creations on which we can gain knowledge of how it works but can't answer why.Science, positivism can answer how species evolve or how the cosmos is created by postulating theories on grounds of rationality and logic, but the why question, the purpose of life cannot be derived through the premise of positivist empiricism. Just like a lightbulb cannot throw light at itself,the human mind cannot know why it is there

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and spreading the word. when i have meditated in the past, i have had a tinging sensation in the centre of my forehead (third eye region) between my eyes. do you know what this is? i have searched for the answer and i have been told it is an opening to spirituality.

[@diogoduarte369]

The Western world likes to tout all these humanistic ideals, like gender equality and religious tolerance, because our law was established after secular theory, but this is a more recent development than people like to admit and there is still a threat, specially from evangelical christians, of losing our freedoms. Unfortunately maintaining peace and dignity is something we need to fight for constantly.

[@sanjyotsawhney1235]

Instead of confirming to the validity of the hypothesis of Sikhism with the help of science. They should study how did guru saheb came up with such hypothesis ( what's the biological or psychological mechanism working behind this if there is any ).

[@Komal_US]

3:14 In Hinduism women are kept down and seen as chappals? Where did he read that? He was a very learned person and huge respect to him but in hinduism, women are not seen or treated as chappals. Hinduism does not teach that. Infact Hinduism is the only religion in which we pray Goddessess (Shakti). Even the sword of Sikh Gurus had sign of Maa Kaali (Shakti).

Jagraj Singh Jio - The onus is on Males to control their Kaamic thoughts, but this does not mean Sikh Women don't have to cover up appropriately to induce these thoughts in the first instance. Bibian should not be wearing revealing clothes in line with false Western reference points. If you're referring to Hijabs and Niqabs then in agreement with your points. This practice of parda was dismissed by Guru Amar Das Sahib Ji.

sherif rizk its not similar to Islam at all because Islam believes that the earth was created 7000 years ago in 6 days we don’t

[@sherifrizk568]

Nothing in Quran mentions the age of the earth. I guess u mixed up between the Holy Bible and the Quran. If you read the holy bible literally and add up the ages of the prophets you will find the earth is 6000 years old. When it comes to the duration of creation, in the Quran and the bible it is mentioned 6 days. I have read some parts of Guru Granth Sahib, i see it is very nicely poetic, but it is very obvious to me at least, that it’s a mixture between Hinduism and Islam.

[@user-gq3xc9yl5l]

sherif rizk this is not true that you say it‘s a mix of islam and hinduism There are 36 writers in guru granth sahib ji so their are some poets from other religion for sure but there is also many scripts from gursikhs and guru themselves But believe me i read also your religion and it has many aspects similiar to bible

Debayan Basu HINDUISM OPPRESSES WOMEN! AFTER YEARS ON STUDYING DIFFERENT RELIGIONS I HAVE ACTUALLY COLLECTED QUOTES ON HOW HINDU WOMEN HAVE NO RIGHTS! “Her father guards her in childhood, her husband guards her in youth, and her sons guard her in old age. A woman is not fit for independence.” Manusmriti 9.2-3 - “After the death of her husband, a woman should preserve her chastity or ascend the pyre after him.” Vishnusmriti 25.14, they literally tell women to burn themselves if their husbands die! -“Women are powerless, have no inheritance, and speak more humbly than even a bad man. Krishna Yajur Veda Taittiriya Samhita” 6.5.8.2 - A woman is impure by her very birth; but she attains a happy state by serving her lord (husband)". Tulasi Ramayana Aranya Kanda, 5 A-B - “a women is a torch which lights her way to hell” - Hindu women conserve fasts for the husband and son, what can be more hypocritical than that?! - They have to remind their brothers to protect them by tying a thread on them each year, whereas Sikh women have learned to protect themselves! This is oppression and please don’t glorify it, they can’t even pray, or sometimes stay in the house if they’re menstruating. Guru Nanak Dev Ji has said whoever calls a women impure have the filthiest minds - Plus how is he anti-feminist when YOUR religion is anti-feminist. When hindu women were locked up inside, Sikh women were on the battlefield defending land against the mughals alongside the men!
