I'm American and find Sikhi very awesome...totally vibes with our values of freedom, equality, and tolerance. I also believe it to be true...ek onkar...matter is energy, energy neither created or destroyed. All that is always was and will be, and it's all One. Satnam, the name for that oneness...chant it, bring awareness to it, and you will see it. Waheguru 🙏
When I found about ek onkar, I fell in love with the religion. I'm so use of hearing hate, arguing whos right, when at the end of the day we're all right :) such a beautiful thing to hear
I worship with the Sikh - Keep Their Tenets - I'm not a convert - I'm a "Added" haha TRUTH + TRUTH = MORE TRUTH - Christian Sikh - PEACE! Praise God! :)
@@ChillNSpillCoC we sikhs believe that all religions have part of truth but full truth is guru granth Sahib so teachings of jesus and muslims and hindus ect can match how ever not all teachings can match
Aditya Singh they are not the same. Sikhi says Mukti comes from Guru Nanak Dev Jee alone, and emphasizes solely worshipping one god, it does not condone idol worship. It’s centered around the Guru. We do not accept Vedas, Puranas, Shastras, Quran, etc. only Gurbani.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru Ji ki Fateh Simon brother...May Waheguru keep you and your family in high spirit and make you the chosen one of God, Khalsa...It is khalsa like you that will have to carry forward the legacy of Gurus and Panth(sikh community)
True, i think Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Vision of universal Humanhood is what the world really needs. I'd like to share a very interesting essay on this topic with you. Please check out this essay web.uni-frankfurt.de/irenik/relkultur121.pdf Thank you
Simon seems more aware of sikh religion than the interviewer. This is why we should emphasize on learning the language where we live because we can clearly see here that this interviewer is unable to put his thoughts into words in an effective manner.
GODS not in all but he made all..Lot don't know that that's why they do bads..No white Sikhs..No one Changes only their Clothes..Copycats are Fake..FACT..🌜👍🌛
Sky High He is in all, he is in everything. The whole universe expanded from him. If God isn't in all then that means only select people can connect to him when meditating. Anyone can connect to God through meditation and love for him, even if they are bad God resides in them. Their ego makes them bad as they either hurt people for wealth, lust, greed and jealousy.
Sikhi was never about quantity it was always about quality. It is not us or people from any other religion who choose to be a Khalsa/Sikh It is Guru Sahab choose us/them. Kuj changa/bura lagge te maaf krna veer ji. Khalsa Akaal Purakh ki Fouj, Pragteyo khalsa prmatam ki mouj.
Sikhism respects all, no matter where you come from and will teach or guide us that we are all one from the same ultimate maker to which we can connect with while one is still alive providing we can follow a rightous step by step approach in controlling our own desires of ego, lust; greed; anger and attachment.
I am sikh from the UK who came to Australia in 1982. Simon you are a real example of what a true blue Aussie is. The Simon's of the world god bless you.
Hi Simon, being a Sikh is to be a learner of humanity. You don't have to change your religion to be a Sikh. Sikhism was never about changing religions and never would be. It is rather against conversion of religions. You could follow Sikhism and be a good human being. Gurus showed the world how to live and how to die. You could be a Sikh staying in your own religion. Great video. I am a proud Punjabi/Sikh Canadian, loved the Australian views. God bless..
Some of the most Aussie people I've ever met are Sikh Aussies, and they may or may not be practicing. My Grandmother told me when she was 5 or 6 years old she was running and playing at the corner shop in a north coast nsw town and she was about to run on to the road in front of a bus when a gentleman with a turban grabbed her hand and saved her life. God bless the Sikh people in Australia and all around the world.
Hi Simon, it was nice to hear your thoughts and nice to hear you would like to see yourself as sikh based on what you have learnt so far from my religion (sikhism) but we are not here to convert anyone either. We are here to ensure people, not matter what religion they are from, are here to promote goodness they have been taught by their own religion. So far, based on this video, you have done this already and all i have to say is, God bless you, your family and religion you currently believe in because that is how God designed you and you look perfect, by the way :).
@@saba2926 No one changes..You aswell as him don't know GOD..No white Sikhs..GOD made him but they don't wanna know or they'd be happy & not wanna change..Copy cats are Fake..😎
simon u good man who understand the real thing about sikhs u know when fire accured in forest sikhs given food to needy australian who lost their homes .... now in covid 19 sikh gurudwaras( temple) delivering food door to door
God bless you Simon from a sikh brother. God is one your welcome to india punjab, come to punjab, amritsar sri harmandir sahib also known as the golden temple, place of tranquility spirituality. 😊
Thank you, Brother. For understand Sikh Race, Sikh means Student, in life. We learn all we can and understand the good, bad and the ugly to live a balance life. You are a Sikh by nature, you learn. All are Human Beings no matter which religion you are born in. Respect all living things. Pray to One all mighty Creator of the Universt in which ever way you speak with God. I am living on an island called Singapore. Learn while you live ,God Bless You. Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki Fathy - means God's army salutes to God.
for anyone wanting more info........................ search " basics of sikhi " and learn a little bit of who we are ................. arm yourself with knowledge.
I am learning a lot about Sikhism myself as a Australian woman. It is sad that there is racism in the world which following God whole heartedly would remove but in order to do so ego needs to be removed from all which is part of sikh belief
The important thing here is to respect all religions. God bless Simon. What a wonderful human being he is. Totally awesome. I would like to come & work in Australia.
Well done Simon, great to hear your views. Humanity. Our first teacher Guru Nanak Dev ji has spread Humanity message to the world. It makes my life easier to get on with world people as I'm well traveled. God bless you. WAHAGURU. 🙏🙏
According to my view, you can be a christian and have sikh values. Like A believe in God, Honest labour. Sharing the fruits of your labour with your neighbor. The sikh must control his greed, Not lustful, Devoid of attachment, Control his pride, and Not boostful. He must credit his success as the will of god. Always keep God in the forefront in what ever he do. Soo a christian with such values is living the life of a sikh.
The Sikh is state of mind. The moment you willing to learn basically how to achieve purpose of this life that is to meet with Sach the Niranka while we are alive: we are Sikh.
I think he is right. Sikh shouldn't worry about creating a Khalistan. They should just migrate to Australia, U.S. and other European countries. Sikhs & Christian's are pretty similar. They can get along very well. Sikhs in India are not treated fairly. They need better recognition. Go migrate...
You are delusional. Come to the UK and say the same thing, and you will see real tension. Panjab Khalistan is the true homeland of the Sikhs. We will take back what is ours from Nagpur to Kandahar.
Everyone loves their home country. People migrate because they have hard time surviving there. You don't want to live in a place where there is a lack of respect, recognition. No one wants to struggle/be poor their whole life.
Whatever country Sikhs have migrated to they've willingly assimilated into the host population while still adhering to their fundamental traditions traditions !!
Simon mate..im born & bred in the UK. I got to say that im absolutely amazed at your response. Its really pleasing to hear that there is awareness going around of Sikhi and that you understand that we are a peaceful religion. We're permitted to hold swords (baptised Sikhs) and have you ever heard a Sikhi pulling his sword out, out of stupidity? Answer is no. Respect
Thanks Simon sir,I think you are good familiar with Sikhism. Sikhi is real life style which can,t be explained, In short easy exact way to meet god and knowing to truth and universe.
First of all I’d like to say I love all humans regardless of their religion or anything else and a lot of respect for this Sikh brother for not deleting the part where the Australian guy said things about Muslims but he contradicts him self but saying theirs good and bad in every religion so why only mention Muslims it don’t make sense only if he did his homework he wouldn’t have made him self look a fool in front of the world. No religion is bad but it’s the people who make the religion look bad.
Just to convert yourself as shikh is not enough to become a true shikh you have to change from the heart. The shikh are with a very very Big heart they respect all religions in the world and they are very kind to humanity. And they have sacrifice their lives again and again to protect their religion and country . They are the true "SON OF INDIA .🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳.
In the holy living Guru of the Sikhs, Shri Guru Granth Sahib, Guru ji guides us, IF YOU CANNOT SEE GOD IN OTHERS, YOU WILL NOT SEE GOD IN YOU Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Guru Ji Ki Fateh
of course Sikhism didn't prosper as much it should have because coward gandhi and nehru devided punjab and sikh leaders didn't take care of a independent sovereign country and also kept oppressed sikhs for which they will pay by elimination of their bamanvad
Hlo gurinder my name is same as you my oponoin for you is that remeber what shri guru gobind singh ji said we will definetly goona prosper in future raj karega khalsa
Sikhism is a very young religion and in a way need of the hour .it serves humanity via our very basic commandment SEWA or service to all irrespective of caste creed religion ethnicity gender or color ! And before actually converting you can visit your nearest gurdwara sahib and interact with the preachers ,devotees ,volunteer for Sewa !Sunday is the best day ! You can also follow Khalsa Aid International to actually see and feel the love n care and magnanimity of Sewa without motive or personal agenda !! May Guru Sahiban ..our teachers bless all !!
The basic creed of the Sikhs - the Mool Mantra - gives the idea of Reality in a few telling words. The creed is: ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ Ikoaʼnkaar saṯ naam karṯaa purakẖ nirbẖau nirvair akaal mooraṯ ajoonee saibẖun gur parsaaḏ. “There is One Universal Creator, Sustainer & Destroyer; The Name is Truth; the Doer pervading in everything; Without Fear; Without Hate; Timeless Undying Image; Beyond Birth; Self-existing; Known through the True Guru’s Grace.” (Ang 1) The meaning of each word: ੴ - Ik O’ankaar This first statement of the “Mool Mantra” is made of three syllables - “1” , “Oan” and “Kaar” in Punjabi and “Ek” in Sanskrit) refers to the numerical figure “1”; “Oan” refers to God (Transcendent, Absolute, Non-dual Reality); “Kaar” refers to that which pervades everything uniformly and ceaselessly (One Omnipresence, Omnipotence and Omniscience, One Transcendent Absolute Reality, One Indivisible, One but only One God etc). It also means “the One who does” (Doer, Immanent etc). This statement highlights the Sikh belief that God is One and only One (unalloyed monotheism). If it’s only limited to our words, then it has no meaning. It has to be brought into our lives. This state can be experienced within, if we choose to be enlightened. It’s not an accidental happening. ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ - Sat Naam The Naam translates as Name. God is also manifested in the Divine-Name that vibrates universally. The Name of God is “Sat” (Truth; Eternal), meaning that it is true or existed in the past, present and future. The term “Sat” comes from the Sanskrit word “Satya”. God’s Name is Eternal Truth. The point to note here is that the Name (Naam) and the object signified by the Name are one and the same! Therefore, simply put, Naam is God’s Word or the Divine Essence. He is reached by constantly reflecting on Truth. ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ - Kartaa Purakh “Kartaa” refers to Creator, Doer or Creative Being. The word “Purakh” has many meanings. But, in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji it primarily indicates the Transcendental Reality or the Supreme Being that is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient (Intelligent Conscious). The entire creation is pervaded with this Infinite, Timeless, Universal Truth. In short, God is the Creator who is pervading in everything. ਨਿਰਭਉ - Nirbhau “Bhau” means fear, and “Nir” means without or devoid of. “Nirbhau” means God is without fear. Why is He devoid of fear? Duality (two-ness or the notion of “others”) gives rise to fear. In other words, not being subject to any other being, and not being subject to needs, He is fearless. As revealed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji here, there is no duality in the Absolute “Ik Oankaar”; for He Himself is Immanent in every particle. Hence, He is without fear, and He is all Bliss (Anand). ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ � - Nirvair “Vair” means enmity, hostility, hate or ill-will, vengeance etc. “Nir” means without or devoid of. Thus, the “Ik Oankaar” is without hate or enmity. Why? As discussed before, God is without a second (Non-dual). Then against whom is He to have “Vair”? All divisions and differences are created by the self-erected walls such as the body-mind-intellect personality (Haumai), which, in its own delusion, feels for itself a separate entity or individual. But the “Ik Oankaar” is with no such delusionary identification, distinctions and divisions. So He is said here to be without “Vair”. Instead, God is understood to be all Pure Love, dwelling deep within us, free from negativity such as selfishness (“mine, mine”), hate or enmity. ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ “Kaal” translates as time, and “Akaal” translates as “not subject to time” (i.e., beyond time). Time denotes change. For example, if their is the birth, then there is the death. Hence “Akaal” means that Eternal or Immortal Entity, which is beyond change (i.e. birth and death etc.). “Moorat” literally means form, image, shape etc. Combining these two terms, “Akaal Moorat” implies “Ik oankaar” is beyond time, space, form and features (Supreme Absolute Reality, Undying, without origin, without beginning and ending). He is Changeless, Immortal, Timeless and forever the same. Change is only for the deluded or conditioned consciousness (Haumai- or ego-mind). ਅਜੂਨੀ - Ajoonee “Ajoonee” translates as “beyond birth or who does not take birth”. Hence, the “Ik Oankaar” is Unborn - free from the cycle of births and deaths. Simply put: “Ajoonee” implies that God is not subject to birth and death. ਸੈਭੰ - Saibhun “Saibhun” translates as self-Illumined, self-manifested, self-existent etc. Thus, the “Ik Oankaar” is also self-Illumined, self-manifested or self-existent. It simply means that God does not depend for His birth or His sustenance on anything else; for He exists self-sufficiently in relation to Himself. ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ - Gur Parsaad The Mool Mantar ends with “Gur Prasaad”, which is indicated by the putting of a full stop (“॥”). The term “Gur” means Guru (that which brings ones from darkness (ignorance) to light (enlightenment)). “Prasaad” (or Parsaad) translates as “Grace”, “Blessing”, “Nadar” or “Kirpaa”. Hence, “Gur Prasaad” implies that Oneness with the One Truth is realized with the Grace of the True Guru (Light of the Knowledge/ Wisdom of Gurbani). In other words, One Truth expresses Himself in His Word (Shabad). However, to experience this Grace, we need to understand Gurbani (the Guru’s Word) through vichaar (delving the meanings) and living it. Thus, this Mool Mantra urges us to bring one’s divided consciousness (duality) in tune with One Truth (Pure Consciousness, Pure Intellect etc.) in becoming a living image of the Perfect God. “Gurprasaadi” also implies that it is through sincere devotion (Bhagti) and prayer (Ardaas) God’s Grace may be awakened (“Pargat”)within, leading to His Realization.
Your response to him when he said he wants to be a Sikh should have been, "you already are." No one needs to convert into Sikhism. It isn't a Religion, it's a way of life. Let's not forget that the first person who laid the foundation stone at the Golden Temple was a Muslim.
Also me. I'm sikh because I believe in Waheguru, I believe in 10 Gurus, I believe in eternal Guru Granth Ji, and I believe in Amrit vote of Guru Gobind Singh. But but when I find some Sikh Amritdhari and supporters of Khalistan they make me sick. But Akal Purakh is everything to me and I would never lose it for anything in the world.
Sant jarnail singh bhindrewale never asked for khalistan. Guru sahib sau sakhi about the future of the panth and tells us of divides in sikhi and how god will come down and we will take back india etc but that will happen when Khalsa stops following rehit kalijug is just beginning it will get worse ad time goes on people will go less towards god and more towards maya. Khalistan dont worry about it. The people cant even get along with each other so.much divide not khalistan will happen but Khalsa raj.
I know very well that Sikhi does not provide proselytism, but it is important for Sikhs to get to know their religion, you will automatically see people coming to Akal Purakh and Guru Sahib alone.
Correction in a good way.. Gday Simon, Sikhs wearing turban are actually a modern race bcoz before that they were cropped and Sikhs created a distinct image from others in the modern world. I reckon they were trend setters in their Sikh attire and still are. Different styles can denote different geographical presence. Good to note a fair dinkum Aussie bloke encouraging more Sikhs to migrate to Australia. Sikh beliefs are universal, one Almighty for all, ONE RACE THE HUMAN RACE
I'm American and find Sikhi very awesome...totally vibes with our values of freedom, equality, and tolerance. I also believe it to be true...ek onkar...matter is energy, energy neither created or destroyed. All that is always was and will be, and it's all One. Satnam, the name for that oneness...chant it, bring awareness to it, and you will see it. Waheguru 🙏
well done and thanks you
When I found about ek onkar, I fell in love with the religion. I'm so use of hearing hate, arguing whos right, when at the end of the day we're all right :) such a beautiful thing to hear

Sikhism is a very young religion and in a way need of the hour .it serves humanity via our very basic commandment SEWA or service to all irrespective of caste creed religion ethnicity gender or color ! And before actually converting you can visit your nearest gurdwara sahib and interact with the preachers ,devotees ,volunteer for Sewa !Sunday is the best day ! You can also follow Khalsa Aid International to actually see and feel the love n care and magnanimity of Sewa without motive or personal agenda !! May Guru Sahiban ..our teachers bless all !!
The basic creed of the Sikhs - the Mool Mantra - gives the idea of Reality in a few telling words. The creed is:
ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
Ikoaʼnkaar saṯ naam karṯaa purakẖ nirbẖau nirvair akaal mooraṯ ajoonee saibẖun gur parsaaḏ.
“There is One Universal Creator, Sustainer & Destroyer; The Name is Truth; the Doer pervading in everything; Without Fear; Without Hate; Timeless Undying Image; Beyond Birth; Self-existing; Known through the True Guru’s Grace.”
(Ang 1)
The meaning of each word:
ੴ - Ik O’ankaar
This first statement of the “Mool Mantra” is made of three syllables - “1” , “Oan” and “Kaar” in Punjabi and “Ek” in Sanskrit) refers to the numerical figure “1”; “Oan” refers to God (Transcendent, Absolute, Non-dual Reality); “Kaar” refers to that which pervades everything uniformly and ceaselessly (One Omnipresence, Omnipotence and Omniscience, One Transcendent Absolute Reality, One Indivisible, One but only One God etc). It also means “the One who does” (Doer, Immanent etc). This statement highlights the Sikh belief that God is One and only One (unalloyed monotheism). If it’s only limited to our words, then it has no meaning. It has to be brought into our lives. This state can be experienced within, if we choose to be enlightened. It’s not an accidental happening.
ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ - Sat Naam
The Naam translates as Name. God is also manifested in the Divine-Name that vibrates universally. The Name of God is “Sat” (Truth; Eternal), meaning that it is true or existed in the past, present and future. The term “Sat” comes from the Sanskrit word “Satya”. God’s Name is Eternal Truth. The point to note here is that the Name (Naam) and the object signified by the Name are one and the same! Therefore, simply put, Naam is God’s Word or the Divine Essence. He is reached by constantly reflecting on Truth.
ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ - Kartaa Purakh
“Kartaa” refers to Creator, Doer or Creative Being. The word “Purakh” has many meanings. But, in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji it primarily indicates the Transcendental Reality or the Supreme Being that is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient (Intelligent Conscious). The entire creation is pervaded with this Infinite, Timeless, Universal Truth. In short, God is the Creator who is pervading in everything.
ਨਿਰਭਉ - Nirbhau
“Bhau” means fear, and “Nir” means without or devoid of. “Nirbhau” means God is without fear. Why is He devoid of fear? Duality (two-ness or the notion of “others”) gives rise to fear. In other words, not being subject to any other being, and not being subject to needs, He is fearless. As revealed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji here, there is no duality in the Absolute “Ik Oankaar”; for He Himself is Immanent in every particle. Hence, He is without fear, and He is all Bliss (Anand).
ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ � - Nirvair
“Vair” means enmity, hostility, hate or ill-will, vengeance etc. “Nir” means without or devoid of. Thus, the “Ik Oankaar” is without hate or enmity. Why? As discussed before, God is without a second (Non-dual). Then against whom is He to have “Vair”? All divisions and differences are created by the self-erected walls such as the body-mind-intellect personality (Haumai), which, in its own delusion, feels for itself a separate entity or individual. But the “Ik Oankaar” is with no such delusionary identification, distinctions and divisions. So He is said here to be without “Vair”. Instead, God is understood to be all Pure Love, dwelling deep within us, free from negativity such as selfishness (“mine, mine”), hate or enmity.
ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ
“Kaal” translates as time, and “Akaal” translates as “not subject to time” (i.e., beyond time). Time denotes change. For example, if their is the birth, then there is the death. Hence “Akaal” means that Eternal or Immortal Entity, which is beyond change (i.e. birth and death etc.). “Moorat” literally means form, image, shape etc. Combining these two terms, “Akaal Moorat” implies “Ik oankaar” is beyond time, space, form and features (Supreme Absolute Reality, Undying, without origin, without beginning and ending). He is Changeless, Immortal, Timeless and forever the same. Change is only for the deluded or conditioned consciousness (Haumai- or ego-mind).
ਅਜੂਨੀ - Ajoonee
“Ajoonee” translates as “beyond birth or who does not take birth”. Hence, the “Ik Oankaar” is Unborn - free from the cycle of births and deaths. Simply put: “Ajoonee” implies that God is not subject to birth and death.
ਸੈਭੰ - Saibhun
“Saibhun” translates as self-Illumined, self-manifested, self-existent etc. Thus, the “Ik Oankaar” is also self-Illumined, self-manifested or self-existent. It simply means that God does not depend for His birth or His sustenance on anything else; for He exists self-sufficiently in relation to Himself.
ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ - Gur Parsaad
The Mool Mantar ends with “Gur Prasaad”, which is indicated by the putting of a full stop (“॥”). The term “Gur” means Guru (that which brings ones from darkness (ignorance) to light (enlightenment)). “Prasaad” (or Parsaad) translates as “Grace”, “Blessing”, “Nadar” or “Kirpaa”. Hence, “Gur Prasaad” implies that Oneness with the One Truth is realized with the Grace of the True Guru (Light of the Knowledge/ Wisdom of Gurbani). In other words, One Truth expresses Himself in His Word (Shabad). However, to experience this Grace, we need to understand Gurbani (the Guru’s Word) through vichaar (delving the meanings) and living it. Thus, this Mool Mantra urges us to bring one’s divided consciousness (duality) in tune with One Truth (Pure Consciousness, Pure Intellect etc.) in becoming a living image of the Perfect God. “Gurprasaadi” also implies that it is through sincere devotion (Bhagti) and prayer (Ardaas) God’s Grace may be awakened (“Pargat”)within, leading to His Realization.
Your response to him when he said he wants to be a Sikh should have been, "you already are." No one needs to convert into Sikhism. It isn't a Religion, it's a way of life. Let's not forget that the first person who laid the foundation stone at the Golden Temple was a Muslim.
Sihk will not harm anyone unless they are defending themselves or someone that cant defend themselves.
Also me. I'm sikh because I believe in Waheguru, I believe in 10 Gurus, I believe in eternal Guru Granth Ji, and I believe in Amrit vote of Guru Gobind Singh. But but when I find some Sikh Amritdhari and supporters of Khalistan they make me sick. But Akal Purakh is everything to me and I would never lose it for anything in the world.
Sant jarnail singh bhindrewale never asked for khalistan. Guru sahib sau sakhi about the future of the panth and tells us of divides in sikhi and how god will come down and we will take back india etc but that will happen when Khalsa stops following rehit kalijug is just beginning it will get worse ad time goes on people will go less towards god and more towards maya.
Khalistan dont worry about it. The people cant even get along with each other so.much divide not khalistan will happen but Khalsa raj.
I know very well that Sikhi does not provide proselytism, but it is important for Sikhs to get to know their religion, you will automatically see people coming to Akal Purakh and Guru Sahib alone.
Great Sikh religion
Waheguru ji ka khalsa sri waheguru ji ki fahte
I wish Simon would be prime minister of australia.
Correction in a good way..
Gday Simon, Sikhs wearing turban are actually a modern race bcoz before that they were cropped and Sikhs created a distinct image from others in the modern world. I reckon they were trend setters in their Sikh attire and still are. Different styles can denote different geographical presence.
Good to note a fair dinkum Aussie bloke encouraging more Sikhs to migrate to Australia. Sikh beliefs are universal, one Almighty for all, ONE RACE THE HUMAN RACE
