What is Sikhism?

Harmeet Matta visited the hospital to discuss Sikhism, the fifth-largest world religion as measured by number of followers. Sikhism is also one of the least understood here in the United States. Take a few minutes to learn about this religion with this engaging, informative presentation.

@@youngmoses3194 Jesus says that the only way to the Father is through Christ Jesus. The only way to be saved is to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That you believe He came and paid the price for your sins. If you do not accept Jesus as your Lord and savior no amount of Good works can save you. You will go to Hell as a sinful being can not come in contact with a PERFECT and HOLY God. So every Sihk will sadly be going to Hell, eternal separation from God as they do not profess Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Same for every other person who does not.

The knee length shorts (kachera) that Sikhs wear is not only worn for agility but it is a reminder to follow a high moral code in relations with the female gender. When Sikhs are initiated they are instructed that with exception to your wife treat each woman as if she is your daughter,sister or mother depending on their age!In times of war never disrespect the women of people you are fighting. Most fighting between Humans in a feudal society was for wealth,women or land ;Sikh teaching is to strive for rightousness,justice and equality and control your ego.

My friend is from Mexico and her Sihk husband left her because she wanted to drive and said no and refused to let her so he moved out. They have a child together and he has no idea what his daughter does after school. I see a lot of sikh women waking about 10 feet behind their husband. I asked a couple of young Sikh for help they said no. I know some women from here riding the bus and Sikh men were trying make them move, that is rude. I like Sikh people very good neighbours. I am a Christian.

One correction: Prior to izlamic invasion, 1. women were treated equal to men. 2. India was on varna syatem... Varna is based upon the work you do. E.g. if I do business. but my father was in army, then he is kshtriya varna but I am vaishya varna. Izlamic and British invasion corrupted the whole society. Due to barbaric izlamic invasion,, the eldest son was given diksha for protection to a clan. This clan was developed as Sikhs. Hence, Sikhs hold a high regard in India as they were / are protectors. We indian are very proud of Sikhs.

[@SI96k]

Amruta Nagarale Sikhi is open to anyone and like he said when you read Gurbani and keep the 5k’s you are a Sikh of the Guru. A mistake in the video was that a initiated Sikh is one who has taken amrit from the 5 pyaare, 5 beloved ones, which act as the 10 Gurus and taking amrit is giving your head to the guru and following him completely. You have to do Many mandatory things after taking amrit. After taking Amrit is where someones Sikhi and experience of God begins. Hope that helped, good luck.

BEWARE OF THE MUNNMUKHS - LOBHHI KAA VASAH NAA KI JAYE; JAE KO PAAR VASAYE. If the Granthi is Vaikaari greedy Munnmukh person, then how could he encourage Gurmukhs who would expose him? Sikhi is for the people of Surti:- The Five were beheaded on the stage and not taken into the Tent as a Thief will do. So, once you have been beheaded and given the common surname Singh, you do not use caste-like Jatt, Khatri, Tarkhan, etc. or go back into your tribal homes but wilderness. Khalsas sleep in the wilderness and they are ever ready to help the victims of aggression. So, this surname "Singh" is not that cheap as satanic Khatris have made. No woman was given Amrit and only sons of Shiv were given Amrit. Mai Bhago wasn't baptized. Only Bandai Khalsas, the super donkeys live in family homes. Khalsas are the Fauj of Akal Purakh and they seek not the secular rule but the spirit of philanthropy. Thus, the hired Fauji Brars who wanted money, they were refused the Baptism. Vaisakhi Celebration:- www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/vaisakhi.htm Royal Vineyard of our Royal Supernatural Father Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc.:- www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/vineyard.pdf St. Photina, the Samaritan Woman at well John 4:- www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/photina.htm Gurdwara stands for Gur = Dhanghh which is logical reasoning that Brews Logo, His Word and Dwara means a place of Sangat. So, Gurdwara is the place where GURMUKH Sikhs meet. Gur = logical reasoning and Mukh = Mouth. A mouth that speaks logically is called a Gurmukh. Gur doesn't mean Guru. Satgur means the formula for speaking logical reasoning that Brews = Parsad = Logo. Mansoor al-Hallaaj, a figure much revered by Sufis, said: “I am He Whom I love,” he exclaimed, “He Whom I love is I; we are two souls co-inhabiting one body. If you see me you see Him and if you see Him you see me.”[3] Nanak wasn't a Brahmin Guru, a moral teacher but the Spiritual Preacher to your mind, Munn, Nafs called Satguru = Christ. Nanak was the second coming of Jesus needed by the Satanic greedy Khatris but they killed him

Is sikhism a revealed religion? What is the evidence for this?

[@abuhammaam1412]

Shikhism is indeed an affected religion; a try to come up with a soft copy of Islam + Hinduism. It is indeed made up by a founder who is not really a prophet, we don't hear them talk about Jesus, Moses, Abraham ..etc. as a part of their faith system. The lecturer did mention that their teachings are written by these ten men, so they are not really from God, whom he didn't even bother to tell us about. All these romantic notions about love and equality are just one side of the coin, a promotional side. Follow up their bloody history against Muslims in villages where they were a majority. We need to know who this One God is, what are His Attributes? This should be a big question in any religion otherwise it would be a philosophy rather than a religion.

[@hoshiarsinghgill2157]

Abu Hammaam you should have made some effort to study what Sikh faith is and history of Sikhs from a non discrimitary source before making these sweeping generalistions which show your prejudice and lack of knowledge.How would you feel if someone claims that Islam is an attempt to copy Judaism and Christianity? For your knowledge Prophet Mohammed is mentioned in the Sikh scriptures and Muslims are instructed to love their prophet and Allah and practice high virtues of compassion,honesty love, humanity and hard work.Similar instructions are given for different religious orders of the day.The Divine scriptures teach that whatever path you choose its the practice of high morals and virtues which will take you near to your chosen path, chosen Guide and God.Sikh God is the one and only God whom Muslims call Allah and Hindus call Bhagwan; the Sikh scriptures begin with the worrds; There is one God,the true name,the creator,free of fear, free of animosity,eternal entity,free from the cycle of birth and death,self illuminated,realised through mercy of a true Guide,God was true before time began;true when the time began,is true now and true forever.Contrary to what you have stated it was the Sikhs who were persecuted by the Mughal kings of India and their allys irrispective of whether they were Muslims or Hindus. Many Muslims and Hindus helped the Sikhs aswell and vice versa. The fifth Guru of Sikhs sahib siri Guru Arjan Dev,and the nineth Guru Siri Guru Tegh Bahadur sahib were martyred by the Mughals. The two young sons of the tenth Guru Sahib Guru Gobind Singh were bricked alive by orders of Wazir Khan the Governer of Sirhind city.During the 80 year rule of Sikhs over Punjab and kashmir Muslims and Hindus were given equal opportunities. Again when Pakistan came into existance there was a near total ethenic cleansing of Sikhs from the newly formed state. Muslims were also greatly mistreated by Sikhs and Hindus in East Punjab.However in each community there were many people who helped each other. Hope you will make an honest attempt to learn about this great Universal religion and these great people.May God give you wisdom.Salam alaikum and Sat Siri Akal:True is the Eternal Lord!

Sikhism is a religion not a Dharma. All the 10 so called Sikh Gurus were Hindus none was Sikh as Sikhism was not there till the last Guru Govind Singh. In fact none was real spiritual Guru. Nanak had not studied the Hindu Shastras and he used to criticize Hinduism as it was beyond his understanding (Samajhdani). Other nine Gurus were simply care taker of Hindu organization to protect Hindus from atrocities of Muslims.

Actually you are misinformed non of the gurus were Hindu. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born into a Hindu family but he didn’t practice it, neither did he practice Islam. On the day of enlightenment of guru Nanak he said no Hindu and no Muslim which meant that no one is superior and everything and everyone is equal. What bonded the gurus was the idea of one god and equality. Guru Gobind Singh ji founded Khalsa Panth. Not all Sikhs are in the Khalsa Panth .

[@mrmsingh5162]

@@meharjeetsingh5256 You are a bit wrong or misinformed brother, actually it was Guru Nanak who initiated sikh panth. Bhai gurdas ji says " ਮਾਰਿਆ ਸਿਕਾ ਜਗਤ੍ਰਿ ਵਿਚ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਪੰਥ ਚਲਾਇਆ। 'ਨਿਰਮਲ' ਤੇ 'ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ' ਅਖਰ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ ਮਨ ਅਤੇ ਜੀਵਨ ਦੀ ਸ਼ੁੱਧਤਾ ਦੇ ਪੂਰਕ ਹਨ। Guru Gobind Singh was the last human guru who transferred Guruship to Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji as shabad guru. Five beloved ones first obtain authority from Shabad guru and then pass on instructions of shabad guru to those who volunteer to get initiated for a disciplined life of khalsa fouj through khande ki pahul. Every Sikh who has started to learn gurbani has already initiated to become a sikh or khalsa. Partaking Amrit doesn't mean you become a khalsa automatically. Even a person who never partakes pahul can be a khalsa if strictly follows instructions of shabad Guru. But it does never mean that we shouldn't partake Khande ki pahul. Because gurbani is a true Amrit, khande ki pahul is an initiating cermony especially those who were never sikhs before but want an instant entry to become a khalsa, after being initiated it takes years to purify our thoughts. So one needs to become gurbani themselves by purifying ones thoughts and actions. A truly humble Sikh would never give judgements based on their personal beliefs to claim that some sikhs are superior to others.
