As a Christian I recognize the Sikh faith as an accurate way to God when your Gurus seems to share the same values with the Messiah, that's why Sikhi people deserves respect and can always count on support from people like myself.
The Main British Influences on Sikhi 1. Lowered the status of the Guru 2. Told us we do not preach 3. Created Gurdwara Committees 4. Installed the voting system
maninderjeet singh Im not sure of the british influenced that, we have a lot of people within our own panth who doubt the DG, that had nothing to do with the british
The British actully took advantage of the Khalsa identity and used it to get Sikhs to join their army. They heavily encouraged Sikhs to receive Khand Di Phaul.
As a proud English man i cringe at some of the practices of the British Empire towards the Sikh people, i saw the tv debate about this and found it very interesting, the British should value the Sikh people for their history and their contemporary contribution to British life.
Colin Clews . it's because they have turned away from the values of democracy, which btw was introduced and informed by Catholic-jeudaism. had the jeudical system been run by the Catholic or jews they would have not done that. But now uk has moved towards atheism which is why they have no knowledge of morals apart from what makes them hungry. eg. money makes them hungry. But when sone1 else is starving does their belly rumble? when some1 else gets tortured do they feel pain? when people are running for their lives do these politicians sweat? when innocent people everyday get shot, do these politicians bleed? no, right?
Why and how Brits got involved in internal affairs of Sikhi? Number one reason was Brits recruitment of Sikhs in British Indian army. Now lots of Sikhs especially jats joined British army! Their next meal came from Brits! Their livelihood depended on Brits recruiting them!
My heart crys inside of me when I see how much sacrifice our guru Jis done in there time to bring Sikhie in this world and we can't even do the basic to show any respect for them
This is just awesome, what a eyeopener to all sikhs!hope to see the gurudwaras getting better. You're right, the SGPC has to be abolished, and the Akal Takht to take over!
and the penny drops! us "Sikhs" are so ill informed. It's sad to what extent the British diluted and distorted our faith. Gurdwara leadership flaws clearly present a problem. A gurdwara should not be a commercial entity. I hope Gurdwara's can reform and go back to the model you talk about. Waheguru.
A lot of bad things happened Sikhs lost power even Darbar sahib was close do being reconstructed into a church but guruji saved us again we need to stay strong,educated and united moving forward 🙏🏼
Simran Mehtab the Sikhs didn’t only fight with the Sikhs they participated in the azad hind and those men either fled India or were killed by the British
I am egyptian Nubian and British divided my people nubians between sudan and egypt , and since then we been suffering from both governments in egypt and sudan .
So why are you all fleeing here? It was century’s ago. You haven’t been strong enough as a nation/community or race to resort back to your own way of living that you see fit? Give me a break, pathetic victims all of you.
I met Jagraj Singh ji in Canada gurudwara and told him that I was shocked to hear theses things about the British Empire and how the gurus had more power than all the other prophets
Which Gurdwara did you attend, if I may ask? I am in Waterloo myself, have not yet attended Gurdwara here but will likely go to Missisauga. Have you been to TurbanUp in Toronto?
no the Gurus are on the same level as Sri Ram chander or Sri Krishna, they are the exact same Jot (light) just different Yugs. Like how 10 Sikh Gurus are the same Jot but different bodies, but occuring within the same Yug. Read Ang 1082 of Guru Granth Sahib, Guru Arjun Dev Ji calls Sri Krishna and Sri Ram Chander as Akal Purakh's forms, and so were the Sikh Gurus, hence the light is exactly the same. They are also from the exact same racial/heritage background called the Kshatriya Varna, which is an ancient North Indian native race. You know who else belongs to this ancient race: Buddha-started Buddhism, Mahaveer-started Jainism, Sri Ram Chander, Sri Krishna, and all 10 Sikh Gurus, remember Guru Ram Das is also called "Sodhi Sultan," that is a Kshatriya surname.
babloo1666 in different ages, but sikhi rejects some Hindu rituals which are regarded as blind worship. but I don't regard brahmanism/hindutva as authentic Hinduism. real Hinduism is pure, but unfortunately governments and RSS have preached Hindutva instead of real Hinduism
Grateful BasicsOfSikhi for perfectly articulating this ... I've been reading about this for such a long time and yes, it's frustrating to hear about this amazing British loyalty for the British (with the implication that it works both ways). What's equally frustrating is that we forget that it was the British empire that dismantled the Khalsa/Sikh kingdom , and so many of us now have fully adopted the English lifestyle, appearance, etc, without a 2nd thought of our own heritage, faith & future!
Not to mention the disease of doubt rendered in Sikh mindset that Dasam bani is not the works of the tenth master, which most have taken to like a dog to bone.....
i appreciate your attempt to forward your own agenda using this age old technique of blaming the enemy. there is vocal minority that blindly believes that bachittar natak is our father's creation. having read most of the so called dasam granth, I would like to inform you thatI and nearly all the folks in my area are aware of the extremely disgusting language used in that hindu text. we even had a taksali granthi evicted because of it. The British or any colonial power never had the power to erase the most important inheritance of a nation.

become a sikh. give up islam, guru gobind singh said islam has become contaminated that muhammad fooled the kings of arabia into being circumsized and also that mosques must be destroyed. So you should be wise and step out of the darkness of islam.
And only Muslims ever seem to say “even though I’m Muslim I like (insert religion here)” just shows you how innately Muslims do not respect other faiths as you get surprised when you like a non Muslim😂 wow
This is why many young Sikhs are not going to the Gurdwara because they see people running the gurdwaras and have no respect for our Guru Granth Sahib the system must change its driving our young youths away

Bro I’m am questioning my faith jus listening to u speak my Father is Pakistani Muslim and mother is Indian Hindu I am living in the diaspora what can I do to get more knowledge on your spirituality system because to me you’re discourse and aura is really transcending the way that I think towards my faithfulness
You can start by reading on sikhi on the web buying some books about Sikhism going to a gurdwara and ask someone knowledgeable about the religion about your questions you may have it’s a starter to you gaining some knowledge about the faith the religion should resonate with you and never feel compelled to join of you don’t feel it within your heart but if you do then there is vasts amount the knowledge on the internet as a starting point
26:53 As a formerly Christian "White" American Sahajdhari Sikh, this is the problem I'm having at the moment. I really want to join the sangat but it seems so intimidating and I'm worried the language/cultural barriers would isolate me from people I came to join.
Waheguru je ka khalsa.....I appreciate your words...ashamedly,my knowledge Base is poor and I should know....So,Veerji keep the kathas coming...Thank you
We should seriously do something about the fact that within sikh gurdwaras there are so called pictures of the guru sahibs while gurbani says bani guru guru hai bani
When I go to the Gurdwara to pay respect to my Guru Granth Sahib Ji which I love my guru sahib Ji who gave me breath and life I get so disappointed when I go to eat my langer people serving langer ask me if special offers are on beers I feel like not going any more but you what I just remember my guru Ji words and go for my guru Ji
i think the same way what you say. one must read a book on "gurudwara prabandhan and parcharik shreynee" by Maskeen ji in order to get more insights in the matter of gurudwara management.
Yogi ji said "democracy is prostitution". I have to say, it's great to hear a British Sikh being the one pointing this history out. it's history we need to learn from.
Yogi Bhajan was not only a traitor but, also, a fool as are you and the rest of you white 3HO fanatic freaks. I am fed up of your cult disrespecting my faith and culture. Why have you copied and distorted it? Do you not have one of your own? You can pretend to look and act holy by adorning all white, but you do not fool me or many other Sikhs. You are not a 'light of the Guru' or 'pure' as your pretentious name suggests. If you have any respect for Sikhi then you should change your name and your profile picture, as the over-elaborate turban and pose shows me that you are full of ego. For those who do not know about 3HO/SiknNet/SikhDharma, these people dance on Gurbani & Bhangra, pray to Hindu Gods in Hindu temples and perform gay marriages. They even sell religious articles for profit amongst countless other anti-Sikh practices Please see the following links: culteducation.com/group/795-3ho/1233-3ho-visitor-commentss.html www.sikharchives.com/?p=10782 www.wackoworldofyogibhajan.net/ www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-hassan/the-disturbing-mainstream_b_667026.html Please help me to protect the true word of the Guru by spreading this message to help expose and reveal the true identity of these individuals. White Sikhs are not to be trusted.
@ R.Tewa Many blessings to you. I pray that on your spiritual journey to seek and understand truth that you find total peace and contentment. Nanak Nam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bhala.
bhaji i acquiesce in the things you say. if we are suffering today its not because of anyone else but ourselves. we need to unite and we can't leave everything at the mercy of so called panthak committees unless they are effective and are not mere termites... secondly bhaji the way you are speaking now, i'd encourage you to speak this way all the time especially during street parchars... slowly, calmly, to the point, without hurry; i know that's a little difficult especially during debates where you have to get your point across ASAP. but truthfully, your humility and serenity would win over others than your persuasive talking... and I've witnessed the same in your talk with the dawa man.... anyways keep doing the good job... may guru always keep us in buoyant spirits. WJKK WJKF...
GuRu =Holy spirit the one who come out of the dark in to the light the face over the deep Also will add the bible talks about Guru ji coming in John 16:13
One thing to add and correct where the parchar is not truthful regarding the kuka shaheed singh's is that the singh's were not tied to the cannon's they stood bravely by in front of the cannons and did not let the british touch them which was part of the Sant Khalsa maryada. This is also told by famous sikh historian - Giani Gian Singh Ji where he recalled what he had seen with his own eyes as he was there. Giani ji recalls that the singhs run to give shaheedi and shout jakare while being blown by the cannons. On 13th Jan 1872, about 150 Namdhari Sikhs under the leadership of Sant Hira Singh and Lehna Singh proceeded to Kotla to avenge the wrong done by a fanatic Muslim judge. Fighting took place between the Sikhs and Malerkotla officials and many lives were lost. The Namdhari Sikhs voluntarily surrendered themselves to the authorities however did not let the british touch them and accepted whatever was to happen next. Meanwhile The Deputy Commissioner of Ludhiana, Mr Cowan rushed to the scene and took over charge from the minor ruler of Malerkotla. Cowan ordered that the Namdhari Sikhs be brought before him and ordered that they be blown to bits. On 17th January, 49 Namdhari Sikhs were blown away with cannon guns. Next day on 18th January a further 16 Namdhari Sikhs were blown to their deaths. Part of the shaheed singh's was 12 yrs old Shaheed Bishan Singh. Cowen’s wife begged him to show mercy on the little child. Cowen agreed but on a condition that Bishen Singh had to denounce that he was a sikh of Satguru Ram singh ji. On hearing this Bishen Singh grabbed hold of Cowen’s beard and did not let go till he was chopped to bits. Bishen Singh was the 50th shaheed on 17th January. It is not fair to the shaheed singh's to say they were tied to cannons this should be corrected in history.
Its written in the Granth Sahib that "the ones who keep their eyes on others field while their own crop is being eaten". So where is the great British Empire now?
GOD IS GURU NANAK EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES ONLY THE GURU CANT MAKE MISTAKES The Embodiment of Light WaheGuru Himself is called Guru Nanak Guru Nanak Dev Ji is the Greatest of the Greatest Guru Nanak is the True of the Truest Guru Nanak save Honour in dark age of Kaljug The WaheGuru that could not been seen Is now seen as Guru Nanak Gyan Dhyan Kich Karam Na Jana, Saar Na Jana Teri, Sab te Wadda Satguru Nanak Jin Kal Rakhi Meri...

T J Sahi. This video is the first time that I have heard the Gurus called incarnated. When a christian says that they mean that Jesus Christ wasn't created by a human man and woman. Does Sikhism mean the same thing about Guru Nanak? Did Guru Nanak have a normal mortal birth to 2 parents?
Gurumukhi is "The key" philosophy is based in Christianity, and philosophy is part of english you can't use them to explain sikhi ,it has Gurmat and thats not philosophy , Gurmat is divine and powerfull in own
bhut vdia......but i think one more ponit is that we define every sikh principal explain by western knowledge not gurmat.... i think so apna knowledge system hona chahida
I think it’s not only the British, it’s all the Christian faith people. Its even true today, the English dictionary defines the word Guru as a teacher and the word is used in the US in this lower context all the time. One time I met a white man here in United States and we were having a discussion about race and culture. One thing said got stuck in my head. He said when we Whites like something, we make it our own by hook or by crook and then we’ll mold into what we want. I think they also destroy what they think is a threat to them by showing feign towards it. I’m sorry but I’ve lost faith in gora Sikhs, I think they have ulterior motives behind their portrayal of Sikhi. I think that’s why gora Sikhs in Cali have women as Panj Pyaare, they want to change Sikhi to suit them. ruclips.net/video/Rl6fFH_IWZM/видео.html
You are right, they do the same with everything, they have corrupted yoga from a deeply spiritual concept into something they do naked, they have "beer yoga" and have sexualised it in p*rnography too. They also infiltrated and twisted african religions like "vodun" turned that into voodoo and made it seem like it was witchcraft. But people are so lost that when they see a white person adopt something they feel so excited. This is an inferiority complex.
Certainly a very hard-hitting & informative talk, & very interesting. Just wanted to point out that at the local church/congregational level in the Church of England, there are such things as "parish councils" - which are a type of local committee, some of whose members are "elected" (voted into office) by the other qualified adult members of the congregation. The parish priest/minister is automatically a member of that committee & personally "appoints" 2 or 3 of the committee members himself. While the "parish council" generally looks after the day-to-day running of the church, including the finances, the parish priest is still technically & legally responsible for the church, & also operates in a position over & above that of the parish council, with his "supervisor" being the regional bishop. Parish priests/ministers do need to have formal qualifications in theology - being a degree from either a recognised theological college or university.
How it works in Sikh Gurdwaras is there are open elections for committee members, and no qualifications needed. So what ends up happening is the whoever is financing the Gurdwara is above who is the spiritual/religious leader, and they are often treated poorly. What you outlined involves voting by committee members not general population. and the priests have to have a degree, whereas Sikh committee members have zero qualifications.
These public grievances are JUSTIFIED... But it would be more productive to speak about Christianity as DIFFERENT from IMPERIALISM. Christianity was already in India for more than 1500 years by the time the British went to India. Everyone has the right to think that their Faith is the "highest," because God deals with all His children as His "favorite."
Its continuing with and Sikh MP in Uk parliament the forerunner for anti Indian sentiment raising issues. Anti India unity and many young Indians fail to acknowledge or are ashamed of their cultural heritage and marriage outside community(nothing directly wrong with that) but fail to pass there offspring to indorse any Indian values religion culture
Wow BoS (+Basics of Sikhi) Avtar/Avatar has been my view of what Jesus was viewed as and also even when you first started speaker's corner I always thought if you use the word avatar it would be more correct term. That's mad to put him in a shop selling alcohol, they could have punjabi lessons twice a week for the youth and even open to wider non sikhi public and generate income that way, they could rent the space for yoga class and self defense arts teachers.
maninderjeet singh I am fully aware of this, however yoga is a form of exercise and a great starter for those less fit. Rather he was teaching yoga than selling alcohol. I'm african heritage and grew up doing what would be considered yoga, only we just called it morning and evening exercise in english as the whole chanting and mantras is not part of the tradition but an outsider looking in would these days call it yoga.
I don't want to be disrespectful but the football metaphor you gave might be really good as a infographic ! 11 players would equate to the 10 gurus and guru granth sahib ji.just an idea.better than RSS and shiv Sena misinformation
14:13, 15:32 - but Guruji says this: Jo Hum Ko Parmeshwar Uchar Hai Tay Sabh Narak Kund Mah Par Hai Mo Ko Daas Tavan Kaa Jaano Yaa Mai Bhed Na Runch Pachhaano Mai Ho Param Purkh Ko Daasa Dekhan Aayo Jagat Tamaasa Jo Prabh Jagat Kahaa so Kahiho Mirta lok tay mon na rahiho... (From Bachitar Natak Bani by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Dasani Granth) Those who address me as God Shall fall into the pit of hell. Treat me as a servant of the Lord And entertain no doubt about it. I am only a slave of the Lord. I have only come to witness the Lord's play (Lila). I tell the world what my God told me then; I shall not keep silent on account of the fear of mere mortals
Yes if they forget Akal Purakh and starts worshipping only the form Of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj not the Akal Purakh Jot that Guru Gobind Singh Ji Is.
This is a wonderful katha but more angles need to accommodate Bhai ji's statements. Only those who are truly invested in Sikh spirituality & rules can understand some things he doesn't mention but implies with his speech. In order words, he is too simple with his language and should have elaborated more. I hope he soul rests formless with Waheguru
Very eye opening video but why only blame the British for dividing Punjab? You should also blame the Muslim League for demanding Pakistan and committing atrocities against Sikhs that compelled them to leave.
As a Christian I recognize the Sikh faith as an accurate way to God when your Gurus seems to share the same values with the Messiah, that's why Sikhi people deserves respect and can always count on support from people like myself.
The Main British Influences on Sikhi
1. Lowered the status of the Guru
2. Told us we do not preach
3. Created Gurdwara Committees
4. Installed the voting system
This one should have been told as well
5) Confusing Sikhs into believing that Dasam Granth Sahib Ji is not our granth.
maninderjeet singh Im not sure of the british influenced that, we have a lot of people within our own panth who doubt the DG, that had nothing to do with the british
The British actully took advantage of the Khalsa identity and used it to get Sikhs to join their army. They heavily encouraged Sikhs to receive Khand Di Phaul.
Hard hitting is right , what a great talk. I am learning so much every day.
Tia check out Shashi Tharoor's book too 'Inglorious Empire' shocking but a must read and should be in all schools and education institutions.
As a proud English man i cringe at some of the practices of the British Empire towards the Sikh people, i saw the tv debate about this and found it very interesting, the British should value the Sikh people for their history and their contemporary contribution to British life.

There's a particular subset of the British who benefited from empire and their descendants are still using the same tricks on the UK general public.
Why and how Brits got involved in internal affairs of Sikhi? Number one reason was Brits recruitment of Sikhs in British Indian army. Now lots of Sikhs especially jats joined British army! Their next meal came from Brits! Their livelihood depended on Brits recruiting them!

Bro I’m am questioning my faith jus listening to u speak my Father is Pakistani Muslim and mother is Indian Hindu I am living in the diaspora what can I do to get more knowledge on your spirituality system because to me you’re discourse and aura is really transcending the way that I think towards my faithfulness
You can start by reading on sikhi on the web buying some books about Sikhism going to a gurdwara and ask someone knowledgeable about the religion about your questions you may have it’s a starter to you gaining some knowledge about the faith the religion should resonate with you and never feel compelled to join of you don’t feel it within your heart but if you do then there is vasts amount the knowledge on the internet as a starting point
26:53 As a formerly Christian "White" American Sahajdhari Sikh, this is the problem I'm having at the moment. I really want to join the sangat but it seems so intimidating and I'm worried the language/cultural barriers would isolate me from people I came to join.
Gene Quagmire real gurusikhs don’t discriminate :)
i can relate. the true Guru has you by the hand. all is in his command. VaheGuru ji
i remember watching that question time
Waheguru 🙏🏽
Thankyou

Great man, who's going to be leading the fight for us now ? Hopefully he comes around for us again
Nav Graya Guru Ji will always keep sending such gurusikhs ♥️
When we come back to sikhi brother, can't be walking around being mone kone and expect sikhs to become great again
Awesome....so informative. A video for every Sikh to watch
best speeches by Jagraj paa g the earlier granthi u mentioned were legend they even had political over other sikhs also.
waheguru ji

Waheguru Ji

He passed away
Satguru Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak and Akaal Purakh are one, Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Ji.
excellent
Rip soilder of the world
We should seriously do something about the fact that within sikh gurdwaras there are so called pictures of the guru sahibs while gurbani says bani guru guru hai bani
When I go to the Gurdwara to pay respect to my Guru Granth Sahib Ji which I love my guru sahib Ji who gave me breath and life
I get so disappointed when I go to eat my langer people serving langer ask me if special offers are on beers I feel like not going any more but you what I just remember my guru Ji words and go for my guru Ji
You work at a liquor store?
No Prob people gotta make money
totally agree with this
This video is so deep
Man there’s so many salty people in the comments. Like if you don’t stand by what he’s saying, than at least don’t try to defame gurbani of the guru!
i think the same way what you say. one must read a book on "gurudwara prabandhan and parcharik shreynee" by Maskeen ji in order to get more insights in the matter of gurudwara management.
RIP Jagraj
Yogi ji said "democracy is prostitution". I have to say, it's great to hear a British Sikh being the one pointing this history out. it's history we need to learn from.
Yogi Bhajan was not only a traitor but, also, a fool as are you and the rest of you white 3HO fanatic freaks.
I am fed up of your cult disrespecting my faith and culture. Why have you copied and distorted it? Do you not have one of your own?
You can pretend to look and act holy by adorning all white, but you do not fool me or many other Sikhs. You are not a 'light of the Guru' or 'pure' as your pretentious name suggests. If you have any respect for Sikhi then you should change your name and your profile picture, as the over-elaborate turban and pose shows me that you are full of ego.
For those who do not know about 3HO/SiknNet/SikhDharma, these people dance on Gurbani & Bhangra, pray to Hindu Gods in Hindu temples and perform gay marriages. They even sell religious articles for profit amongst countless other anti-Sikh practices

Please help me to protect the true word of the Guru by spreading this message to help expose and reveal the true identity of these individuals. White Sikhs are not to be trusted.
R. Tewa Not all white sikhs are from 3ho.
@ R.Tewa
Many blessings to you. I pray that on your spiritual journey to seek and understand truth that you find total peace and contentment. Nanak Nam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bhala.
R. Tewa People like you bark but no one pays a heed . Sole purpose of your birth is to disturb others`s peace of mind.!!!!
@@gurujot951 my apologies for these internet warriors yogi ji was a saint soldier🙏
bhaji i acquiesce in the things you say. if we are suffering today its not because of anyone else but ourselves. we need to unite and we can't leave everything at the mercy of so called panthak committees unless they are effective and are not mere termites... secondly bhaji the way you are speaking now, i'd encourage you to speak this way all the time especially during street parchars... slowly, calmly, to the point, without hurry; i know that's a little difficult especially during debates where you have to get your point across ASAP. but truthfully, your humility and serenity would win over others than your persuasive talking... and I've witnessed the same in your talk with the dawa man.... anyways keep doing the good job... may guru always keep us in buoyant spirits. WJKK WJKF...
somebody quick write a plan for the gurmukh system
GuRu =Holy spirit the one who come out of the dark in to the light the face over the deep
Also will add the bible talks about Guru ji coming in
John 16:13
One thing to add and correct where the parchar is not truthful regarding the kuka shaheed singh's is that the singh's were not tied to the cannon's they stood bravely by in front of the cannons and did not let the british touch them which was part of the Sant Khalsa maryada. This is also told by famous sikh historian - Giani Gian Singh Ji where he recalled what he had seen with his own eyes as he was there. Giani ji recalls that the singhs run to give shaheedi and shout jakare while being blown by the cannons.
On 13th Jan 1872, about 150 Namdhari Sikhs under the leadership of Sant Hira Singh and Lehna Singh proceeded to Kotla to avenge the wrong done by a fanatic Muslim judge. Fighting took place between the Sikhs and Malerkotla officials and many lives were lost. The Namdhari Sikhs voluntarily surrendered themselves to the authorities however did not let the british touch them and accepted whatever was to happen next.
Meanwhile The Deputy Commissioner of Ludhiana, Mr Cowan rushed to the scene and took over charge from the minor ruler of Malerkotla. Cowan ordered that the Namdhari Sikhs be brought before him and ordered that they be blown to bits. On 17th January, 49 Namdhari Sikhs were blown away with cannon guns. Next day on 18th January a further 16 Namdhari Sikhs were blown to their deaths.
Part of the shaheed singh's was 12 yrs old Shaheed Bishan Singh. Cowen’s wife begged him to show mercy on the little child. Cowen agreed but on a condition that Bishen Singh had to denounce that he was a sikh of Satguru Ram singh ji. On hearing this Bishen Singh grabbed hold of Cowen’s beard and did not let go till he was chopped to bits. Bishen Singh was the 50th shaheed on 17th January.
It is not fair to the shaheed singh's to say they were tied to cannons this should be corrected in history.
J there is no such thing as satguru ram Singh what you on about ? Do you mean Guru ram das ji ? Sikhs don’t have no other so called satguru
Simran Mehtab they are bethdharis they believe in living gurus still
Simran Mehtab like they worship modern 2020 “gurus”
We died for the British Gangsters!
Its written in the Granth Sahib that "the ones who keep their eyes on others field while their own crop is being eaten". So where is the great British Empire now?
gurdwara politics, commitees, employees at gurdwaras on pay are all due to the secularisation/materialisation and democratisation of faith.
Can the next generation create proper gurdware that are run by a granthi and decisions are made by the 5 pyaree please 🙏🏽
GOD IS GURU NANAK
EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES ONLY THE

💐💐🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐
T J Sahi. This video is the first time that I have heard the Gurus called incarnated. When a christian says that they mean that Jesus Christ wasn't created by a human man and woman. Does Sikhism mean the same thing about Guru Nanak? Did Guru Nanak have a normal mortal birth to 2 parents?
Guru Nanak Dev Ji was not born, he was made a Guru when he came out of a river after 3 days.
please read jaap sahib
Gurumukhi is "The key" philosophy is based in Christianity, and philosophy is part of english you can't use them to explain sikhi ,it has Gurmat and thats not philosophy , Gurmat is divine and powerfull in own
@BasicsOfSikhi There's a typo in the description, Singh is spelt wrong.
Any good valid and verified books on Sikh History? Would be much appreciated!
tajbir1 bhai vir singh bhai randhir singh prof puran singh ji
Eye opening! In Canada Sikhs preaches Sikhi is a prophetic, one god religion like ISlam, Judaism, Christianity!
you sound good, especially when you are not being politically correct. please continue to do so
Found a small Anomaly in the Video about Bhai Nand Lal ji. Shah Jahan was the Father of the Aurangzeb not his Son.
As a Muslim, his explanation of the ‘satanic verses’ is completely inaccurate
bhut vdia......but i think one more ponit is that we define every sikh principal explain by western knowledge not gurmat.... i think so apna knowledge system hona chahida
but in jaap sahib it says something different about god
👏
I think it’s not only the British, it’s all the Christian faith people. Its even true today, the English dictionary defines the word Guru as a teacher and the word is used in the US in this lower context all the time.
One time I met a white man here in United States and we were having a discussion about race and culture. One thing said got stuck in my head. He said when we Whites like something, we make it our own by hook or by crook and then we’ll mold into what we want. I think they also destroy what they think is a threat to them by showing feign towards it. I’m sorry but I’ve lost faith in gora Sikhs, I think they have ulterior motives behind their portrayal of Sikhi. I think that’s why gora Sikhs in Cali have women as Panj Pyaare, they want to change Sikhi to suit them.
ruclips.net/video/Rl6fFH_IWZM/видео.html
they have started using Sikhi as a meditation cult
You are right, they do the same with everything, they have corrupted yoga from a deeply spiritual concept into something they do naked, they have "beer yoga" and have sexualised it in p*rnography too. They also infiltrated and twisted african religions like "vodun" turned that into voodoo and made it seem like it was witchcraft. But people are so lost that when they see a white person adopt something they feel so excited. This is an inferiority complex.
Dirty barstuds even after they left they caused as much mayhem as possible
Certainly a very hard-hitting & informative talk, & very interesting. Just wanted to point out that at the local church/congregational level in the Church of England, there are such things as "parish councils" - which are a type of local committee, some of whose members are "elected" (voted into office) by the other qualified adult members of the congregation. The parish priest/minister is automatically a member of that committee & personally "appoints" 2 or 3 of the committee members himself. While the "parish council" generally looks after the day-to-day running of the church, including the finances, the parish priest is still technically & legally responsible for the church, & also operates in a position over & above that of the parish council, with his "supervisor" being the regional bishop. Parish priests/ministers do need to have formal qualifications in theology - being a degree from either a recognised theological college or university.
How it works in Sikh Gurdwaras is there are open elections for committee members, and no qualifications needed. So what ends up happening is the whoever is financing the Gurdwara is above who is the spiritual/religious leader, and they are often treated poorly. What you outlined involves voting by committee members not general population. and the priests have to have a degree, whereas Sikh committee members have zero qualifications.
👏👏
These public grievances are JUSTIFIED... But it would be more productive to speak about Christianity as DIFFERENT from IMPERIALISM. Christianity was already in India for more than 1500 years by the time the British went to India. Everyone has the right to think that their Faith is the "highest," because God deals with all His children as His "favorite."
Its continuing with and Sikh MP in Uk parliament the forerunner for anti Indian sentiment raising issues. Anti India unity and many young Indians fail to acknowledge or are ashamed of their cultural heritage and marriage outside community(nothing directly wrong with that) but fail to pass there offspring to indorse any Indian values religion culture
Wow BoS (+Basics of Sikhi) Avtar/Avatar has been my view of what Jesus was viewed as and also even when you first started speaker's corner I always thought if you use the word avatar it would be more correct term.
That's mad to put him in a shop selling alcohol, they could have punjabi lessons twice a week for the youth and even open to wider non sikhi public and generate income that way, they could rent the space for yoga class and self defense arts teachers.
ckzckw
Yoga is not a part of SIKHI. Checkout basics of sikhi video on Yoga
maninderjeet singh
I am fully aware of this, however yoga is a form of exercise and a great starter for those less fit. Rather he was teaching yoga than selling alcohol.
I'm african heritage and grew up doing what would be considered yoga, only we just called it morning and evening exercise in english as the whole chanting and mantras is not part of the tradition but an outsider looking in would these days call it yoga.
I don't want to be disrespectful but the football metaphor you gave might be really good as a infographic ! 11 players would equate to the 10 gurus and guru granth sahib ji.just an idea.better than RSS and shiv Sena misinformation
14:13, 15:32 - but Guruji says this:
Jo Hum Ko Parmeshwar Uchar Hai
Tay Sabh Narak Kund Mah Par Hai
Mo Ko Daas Tavan Kaa Jaano
Yaa Mai Bhed Na Runch Pachhaano
Mai Ho Param Purkh Ko Daasa
Dekhan Aayo Jagat Tamaasa
Jo Prabh Jagat Kahaa so Kahiho
Mirta lok tay mon na rahiho... (From Bachitar Natak Bani by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Dasani Granth)
Those who address me as God
Shall fall into the pit of hell.
Treat me as a servant of the Lord
And entertain no doubt about it.
I am only a slave of the Lord. I have
only come to witness the Lord's play (Lila).
I tell the world what my God told me then;
I shall not keep silent on account of the fear of mere mortals
Yes if they forget Akal Purakh and starts worshipping only the form Of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj not the Akal Purakh Jot that Guru Gobind Singh Ji Is.

This is a wonderful katha but more angles need to accommodate Bhai ji's statements. Only those who are truly invested in Sikh spirituality & rules can understand some things he doesn't mention but implies with his speech. In order words, he is too simple with his language and should have elaborated more. I hope he soul rests formless with Waheguru
Sikhs/Indians/ Pakistanis= Same thing
Very eye opening video but why only blame the British for dividing Punjab? You should also blame the Muslim League for demanding Pakistan and committing atrocities against Sikhs that compelled them to leave.
we should blame the politicians who broke the SAARC nations especially punjab and bengal
this channel will never blame muslims for anything it seems. its only hindus they blame or possibly british every now and then.
