There will be many people that will discriminate you for your color & religion. Don't let them get ahold of you. The sikhs that say you cant be a sikh due to you being black, know that they are not truly sikhs of the guru.
"Who is the acknowledged Sikh ? He is true Sikh who surrenders before the Guru and bows his head; Who puts his mind and forehead on the feet of Guru; Who holding dear to his heart the teachings of the Guru expels ego from his self; Who loves the will of Lord and has attained equipoise by becoming Guru-oriented, gurmukh; Who by merging his consciousness in the Word has acted according to the divine Will (hukam). He (the true Sikh) as the result of his love and fear of holy congregation attains his own self (atma)." Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
I love these videos. Becoming self aware and choosing your own path even if it is different from what you are brought up with is mind blowing to me. Most people are sheep. Stay strong on your journey
Sikhism is true love for GOD, the truth I’m glad our black bros and sisters are getting the gurus message. Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching. We'll keep talking about our love for Sikhi. :0)
This was great.
Excellent podcast
Thank you!
Sad part is 99% sikhs these days do all kind of wordly made up rituals but does read and follow gurbani! Thats why we have Sikhs who are still into Cast race and everything that Guru prohibited from!
99% is a complete exaggeration. At the best I can agree to 50%. Because I live in the Heartland of Sikhi
Your focus is on guru teaching not these type of PPL ..
I love your confidence and conviction, you are absolutely right about the culture vs religion.
thank you! 🖤🤎✊🏾
Powerful
Proud of you!
Let me know if you wanna be on my podcast, but would be an interesting one. It’s called The Modern Sikh.
hey! can you email//DM us? or let us know how we can contact you? our gmail + social media handles are all the same - BLACKxSIKH.

Soorma is Best
Giving up head means giving up the past. Every person who is bestowed Amrit is told "dharam naash" meaning old beliefs destroyed, "karam naash" meaning old actions destroyed "kul naash" meaning old clan lineage destroyed.
Thank you for watching! : )
You mother hindu who told you that giveing head means sikh always ready for fight for justice for poor people for innocent people no problem about religion if they are hindu Muslim children Buddhist if anyone doing wrong with them then gurus give the permission to sikhs to help them stand with them if sikh dead in this no problem you know about shahid sikhs you know about how many sikhs give the lifes for hindus how guru teg bahadur sahab ji give his life for kashmiri barhmins thousands 90 thousands sikhs give their life's in worldwar second they did fight for European that's meaning of the giveing head

Hey im a Punjabi sikh i was wondering if i could havs a conversation with you just to understand your beliefs in Sikhi im really interested
hey there!
to whom is this comment directed? what do you mean by understand our beliefs in Sikhi? do you have a specific question for us?
am sure YT channel nme "Basis Of Sikhi" will gonna help u a lot in ur jouney as it fairly did to me Jagraj Singh was truely an amazing & spritually enlighted person someone who i cn look up to to learn more trust me u gonna love him
Nah, we're not fans of Basics of Sikhi due to their homophobia/queerphobia. thank you for the suggestion though and thanks for watching!
Nice ur apart of gurus fauj. Shastardhari is important so you should be it you will be a good look for singhs and kaurs
y'all should stop trying to tell other Sikhs what to do, how to practice Sikhi, or how to live their lives. you should also ask more questions or be more curious + do more learning.
you ever considered how dangerous that could be for a Black(-american) Sikh?
@@BLACKxSIKH I didnt say anything at all though your 10 steps ahead of me and im born in a sikh family. I applaud you and wish I can have the confidence you have that guru maharaja instilled in you. Youre the reason we will get khalsa raaj
@ls400mobbin2 oop. you deleted your other comment pretty quickly but we still get the notification [+ a screenshot].
we appreciate your course correcting.
Wearing a turban shaped cap doesn't mean you have that crown on you. Turban is something Guru Sahib gave us and you can't just wear it like it's a cap. Learn to tie a turban. Took me like a day to learn it.
no thanks. we all wear + tie our own turbans whenever we want to wear a turban [we're wearing turbans in the thumbnail of the video for godsake. 🙄🤦🏾].
more often, i prefer a cap or durag. that won't change.
this comment is presumptuous, uninformed, + culturally incompetent. had you taken a few moments to check out other content//images (or even _actually_ watched this video), you would've known this.
piece or advice: stop telling other people want to do; worry about your own journey w| Sikhi, if it's not causing harm, let others live + practice as they wish.
thanks for watching + thanks for the engagement.
take care. 🫡
@@BLACKxSIKH then you are not a sikh. You are disrespecting the 10th Guru. Not only are you full of lust but also anger, another thing that bad habut of humans in sikhi. Be KIND if you respect even 2% of sikhi
@@Walker-64812 He dont need validation from you.
Have your own people run your gurudwaras
Thanks for watching and chiming in on the conversation! 🖤🤘🏾
Will you give up your black-ness if Guru instructs so?
🤔 did you give up your gender? your culture? your ethnicity?
Giving up one's identity in the spiritual sense is one thing. in reality, none of us can will away any aspects of our real-life identities.
Even if we could-no, we won't be giving up our Blackness (our culture) for anything or anybody. luckily our Guru would never demand such a thing.
Thanks for watching. :0)
@@BLACKxSIKH ohh Yes absolutely. If i haven't done so already, i won't be asking you such a question!
Anyway, you are seemed to be prophesying some of your own version of Sikhi. 🙏
OK. thanks for watching! :0)
satnam.
@@BLACKxSIKHInfact I firmly believe Malcolm X should have embraced Sikhism...He would have been able to contribute more for Black cause
Thanks for watching. 🤘🏾
Hey, Soorma is queer?? Is homosexuality allowed in Sikhism? I thought it was not.
The only reason you'd think that is because homophobic Sikhs exist. but SIKHI is clear, all people are equal. All means all.
Our gurus interacted with all sorts of people including Queer people, one he even encouraged + gave advice to re: his quest to find a husband.
also, Queer ≠ homosexual. Queer is an umbrella term.
@@BLACKxSIKH yes, all people are equal, including queers, our gurus considered koosreh (trans) equal, but Sikhism is a philosophy which advocates family values and the "nuclear family" therefore practicing and promoting homosexuality is against Sikhism.
@@BLACKxSIKH This would be an interesting topic for a video... I don't know that much about it myself
no. it would not. because we are not going to debate about whether or not Queer people are "allowed" (w|e TF that means) to practice a certain faith.
you're welcome to have that conversation with someone else who doesn't see Queer people as equal human beings capable of being part of a nuclear family.
good day.
BTW, it's SIKHI not Sikhism.
Sikh is sikh not black not white not brown and sikh man women are same men are not Supreme in the Sikhism men and women's have same rights in Sikhism sikh women have full rights to be a soldier farmer prests in the sikh temples women have full rights to wear wapons same like men and learn sikh martal art gatka
Thanks for watching! 🖤✊🏾
