- For the longest time I have wanted to visit the Hollywood Sikh Gurdwara but have never had the chance. However, the opportunity presented itself this Sunday, and I was able to go and observe their wonderful services and the delicious free meal they offer as well.
When I first started working on paying off debt, I spent a lot of time at an Indian supply store because they sold beans, rice and spices in bulk. Along the way, I met some rather remarkable people.

Sikhs are humble and most brave people to be with and rely on ❤❤❤❤
It is also said that 500 years ago when the japji sahib was being recited every morning by the Sikhs... People from other religions would laugh and mock and say that there cannot be more than one sun or more than one moon in the universe.. But NASA has now confirmed that there are over a trillion suns/stars and a moons... 4 ish moons are orbiting Jupiter alone...
Steve Payne again with a FIRMAMENT over all of our heads we come to realize that the word Brahamand is the egg we live in on this plane of existence, the other Suns and Moons are contained within their respective Brahamand which isn't visible/obtainable/measurable by any NASA Computer Generated Images. Only Gurooji was revealed this information, never can NASA without CGI can produce anything that is outside of the FIRMAMENT. The Hebrew word for FIRMAMENT is Raqiya, and the Punjabi word for FIRMAMENT is Rakhia or Akaash. My Guroo is the Holy Teachings of Gurbani, NASA is a parasitic cancerous disease of the world's history ran by Freemasons and other Satanic orders. Do some research away from the evil eye of NASA if you are really wanting to obtain the Truth.
Sikh Bhavikh I know..I been studying nasa for a year but only regarding how they are hiding ufo activities in oir world...you may be right regarding other things nasa are covering up or manipulating.
Steve Payne , YOU ARE 💯 RIGHT.!!
Steve Payne you are right bro, Only the people like you that have great knowledge can understand such things, I also read many theories of NASA and scientist, for many years that come closer to Guru Nanak Sahib and Guru Granth Sahib Bani( writings ) . But some people with limited knowledge can not understand such things.
500 years ago!???
The existence of god is everywhere. We must all learn to share knowledge and support amongst each other.
Formani Remon it could be anyone. Most likely a paid troll. We know that Pakistan ISI has a division solely for online warfare creating communal discord among Indians. Some Christian zealots is a possibility. All I know No Hindu that I know would ever ridicule Sikhism so a low probability that its a Hindu.
Steve Payne , HUMANITY AT ITS BEST.!!!!
Such a genuine and true effort by you Ma'am, this is what the lord, the almighty (Waheguru) wants from humans, may Waheguru ji bless you. Truly loved the basic things you learned there and tried to tell others through this video, you will learn more about the five K's of Sikhism as you will go a little deeper into knowing the religion. May Waheguru ji bless you and keep you happy 😊🙏
thank you for your kind words. And thank you for watching. :-)
Thank u for your Wonderful video mam,,,, so inspiring.... Proud to be a Sikh... God bless all.
Thank you for sharing. I really love and respect the Sikh people. :-)
Gurudwara
Guru=teacher
Dwara=house/door
Sikh=to learn
Simran=meditate
Waheguru= God
Thank you for sharing. What a great community.
Broke Aristocrats i hope one day you visit the golden temple...harmandhir sahib..largest kitchen in the world..and this 2017/2018 year was in the Guinness World Book of Records as the most visited place on Earth
My dream is to visit the Golden Temple. Many of my friends have already been there. I have one friend who is now Sikh who moved there for a year to learn.
Broke Aristocrats there are 4 doors/enterances there wellcoming in all religions and faiths... and u will notice the stairs go down down down as you go towards the golden centre building.. to show humbleness..that to meet god we need to be first humble. Beautifull experience.
Sri Guru granth sahib ji tells us all:
1.How we got here on earth
2.Who made us
3.Why we are here
4.What is our purpose here
5.Where we are going after the soul leaves the body.
Steve Payne thnx..no word's fr u..I'm from India Punjab
Growing your hair is a gift by God according to Sikhs they are our antennas to connect to the universe so anything we need ....the universe gives us ...we are all connected to each other
"Ek" one.
Not exactly antennas, but they should be left alone as to follow god's will which was to either give u hair or not give u hair.
GotNoName its necessary to grow hair compulsory in sikhism growing of hair is imposed by 10th grow to give sikhs a distinct look like islam hindus christian sikhs wear turban to cover the hair but our holybook not revolve on the hairs only it says be a good human from inside not outside, you can be a sikh with cut hair no problem half of the sikhs have trimmed hair
Hair and 5 Ks are mandatory for Khalsa, not all sikhs. Although all sikhs should look forward to remaining in god's will, but hair are not needed right away. Sikhs could be the nanak panthis, followers of kabir ji, ravidas ji, etc
Amy Sherwood absolutely correct
Thank you Dr. W for sharing... Happy New Year. Love your channel.
Did you like this people are very open hearted and helpful SIKHISM is great born to serve needy society's Great
I liked them very much, and I loved listening to the music and prayers.
The Sikh Temple where I live has festivals where they invite everyone from the community to visit their temple and share a meal with them. I like it that the people are so generous and focus on being decent, and hard working. I cannot help but notice how they strive to live good and moral lives.There are many berry farms near Bellingham that are owned by Sikhs. Sadly, there was a time when the Sikh community was run out of the the city, they erected a granite arch by the downtown Public Library as a gift to the people of Bellingham. Very noble of them to be so gracious after being treated so badly.
Nanak talks about black holes which exist within the galaxies and NASA are now discovering all which was written 500 years ago...waheguru ji...amazing... The first thing created according to Nanak was hydrogen and then came water created by The Creator (wahe guru)
Steve Payne never heard of black holes anywhere in Gurbani. Guroo Amardas Ji wrote; " He himself has set up his throne in the FIRMAMENT and the nether regions. By his Divine Ordinance is created the Earth, the place for righteous action." I know most people are still stuck in the false NASA paridyme of false outer space but after getting over cognitive dissonance some real spiritual warriors are able to see through the likes of the world's governments in hiding the existence of the FIRMAMENT of which a lot of us are fully aware of.
Yes like Jesus Christ told about Theory of general relativity in detail, he even proved E=mc2 before being crucified.
Steve Payne... I am a Sikh and would love to know where in the Gurubani Nanak talks of blackholes and hydrogen
andh khoop mehi haath dehi rakhahu..kashoo sianap aukhath na mohri
Formani Remon im just a fellow human..who loves what god has created around me...I like sikhi...it teaches to respect other faiths and beings...may god shine some light on those who need it too...waheguru
What a wonderful video! Excellent job summarizing the Sikh philosophy. Just to add: Kirpan comes from the word Kirpa (blessing); so the Kirpan can only be used for justice and never suppressing others.
🙏🙏
As a Sikh living in England thank you for uploading this wonderful video and sharing details of the Gurdwara Sahib in Hollywood. It's lovely to see what's happening in the States.
In the holy book "sri guru granth sahib ji" nanak (1st guru) talks about space and the cosmos he also talks about Nether worlds and underworlds galaxies and species on other planets solar systems
Steve Payne yea i know right its amazing nanak knew everything and they are so science
Robzerix yes
sat sri akal ji
Steve Payne ... truth in written in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib JI... True is his words...
Robzerix
Watch channeling channel he's a guy who knows about all stars
Thank you very much for visiting. You are always welcome. Love ❤️ & Peace ✌️ from Canada 🇨🇦
It is said in the holy book that sikhism is also in other worlds and planets

Swedish Meatball waheguru waheguru waheguru amazing...
Further Explanations -
- The word Gurudwara ( Sikh Temple) is the combination of two words - Guru + Dwara (door). Guru helps you identify and opens the door to God, which is within you. It is not Guru's house but a door pathway...Guidance
- Symbols - Five 'Ks':
- Kara (Bangle) Made up of Steel to be worn on the WORKING hand. Purpose - will constant remind you to be faithful to God while WORKING. Faithful through honest living.
- Kanga (Comb) - Keep clean and Looking after the body which God has created.
- Kesh (Hair) - Adoption of a simple life, denial of pride and acceptance of God's gift as God intended it.
- Kachara (Long Boxer shorts/underwear) - Chastity
- Kirpan (a small ceremonial dagger) - Discipline, yield for Struggle (within you and outside)
The current Guru = Guru Granth
** Book may not be the right word to use here ** Why? People start to equate it to a book. Bible wasn't written by Jesus. But Guru Granth contains the verses of Saints, along with musical references.
Think of this way - You do not call a $100 bill just another piece of paper. Why? It has been stamped by the Govt. to be a BankNote. And you keep it with some care.
Guru Granth is the $100 billion dollar Guidance bill.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. IT HELPS BREAK BARRIERS.
Thanks!! Good Explanation
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this.
Kirpan - yield for Struggle.....very aptly put!! Well done! Gurudwara is a door pathway to God....nice! much like inside the temple you walk on the pathway to Guru
Good writeup
Great job, great video...
Thanku
If you get to read the holy book there are so many other mysteries which have not been yet discovered that are talked about in the holy book Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.. It is claimed that all the writings/poems are from God but written by the 1-6 sikh gurus
I have a copy now of the Siri Granth Sahib Ji. I plan on studying it.
Broke Aristocrats excellent. .download the app on your smart phone too called igurbani.. im watching/reading too it now on youtube "japji sahib" with translations in english :)
KARA generates a sound when it strikes on things when we use our arm for doing works. It is for reminding human of god thouout the day which he forgots after every few minutes through the sound generated. So traditional sikhs wear big & heavy kara. Some sikhs recommend wearing heavy & non sharp kara.
Kirpan meaning is itself in its name. Kirpan mean "blessing coming" & blessings are always from god, so kirpan is sword of god not of humans. A sikh wearing 5 K's or kirpan have to worship & understand Gurbani three times a day. So he can never use kirpan unless its for blessings. Kirpan have very high sacred status in minds of sikhs because they bow to kirpan & give food to kirpan & convert the food to sacred food before eating it in gurudwara. Sikhs are told to be saint-soldiers by the guru, in this term before the soldier it is saint & sainthood (piri) is always kept higher then soldierhood (miri). So before putting the palm on kipan sikh have to be saint before soldier.
& when the sword is in the hand of a saint he always use it for blessing or stopping tyrancy. Also our guru specifically told us to use ALL ways before raising sword. "But when all ways have failed its your duty to raise sword" 😀
I really appreciated this information thank you. I love the Sikh faith.
Yes bhaji
+Broke Aristocrats welcome
Dr. Radha Krishnan a great thinker, philosopher and the former President of India who was nominated for Nobel Prize, deeply studied the Sikh religion and commended it on many counts in the UNESCO publication on the Holy Guru Granth Sahib and the Sikh Gurus.
He once met the Russian leader Stalin who asked him,
"Dr. Radha Krishnan, how would you backfill the wide trench between the rich and poor in India?"
He promptly replied, "In the same way as Guru Gobind Singh abolished the caste barriers and engulfed the wide split between Hindus and Muslims of India."
very good place, and nice people been there many time delicious langar
Thanks a lot , how great and kind you are !! Thanx for all love and respect !!
Wish you a healthy and happy life
Thanks for ur word
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ! ਪਿਛਲੇ ਐਤਵਾਰ ਮੈਂ ਨੇਟਿਵ ਹਾਲੀਵੁੱਡ ਵਿੱਚ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰੇ ਦਾ ਦੌਰਾ ਕੀਤਾ। ਜ਼ਾਹਿਰ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਸਿੱਖ ਬਣਨਾ ਚਾਹਾਂਗਾ। ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਇਹ ਧਰਮ ਪਸੰਦ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਉੱਥੇ ਮੁੜ ਮੁੜ ਜਾਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ!
Thank you so much . So nice of you mam
WaheGuru Ji ka Khalsa
WaheGuru Ji ki Fateh
Thank you. I really loved meeting so many good people. :-)
honest efforts. Worth watching
I have to correct you , the kirpan/dagger symbolizes self defence and protect other people from injustice . Back in the day when the Mughal empire ruled India Sikh’s became the worrier tribe so it also symbolizes that to fight for freedom of religion , all the five k’s make it easier to identify a Sikh because back then when u saw a Sikh u could feel safe knowing they will protect you
Interesting. As a Sociologist, I am interested in other cultures, too.
Thanku check video golden temple in a you tube. Also check history of Sikhs
I don't see your most recent video but hope you are well & your sister is better.🌹
Very nice Speech For the Sikh Community Thank you so much
Thank you for this...
Ek Ong kaar describes how god created the world.
Ek=the one god
Ong=uttered the primal sound/vibration "onggggg"
Kaar=creation/created the universe
Kanga means selfcare or keep clean yourself, kara is a handcuff for sikh means it’s reminder to sikh that you can’t do any bad thing with these hands bcz you are a Sikh and Kara helped in war as well , kesh means uncut hair it shows a Sikh is a saperete race and belong to guru, kirpan means kirpa+ aan so kirpa means mercy so a Sikh use it just for help the people not offence or just for self defence, kachaira mean a special underwear wich lace so its a symble of a Sikh’s character, when a tie down lace of kachiara it’s remind him a Sikh should good in his or her character , a Sikh can sleep wich his wife or her hubby .
From what I am learning there are multiple meanings. Kara has also been described as a symbol of devotion to God as one is wed to God. I am referring to the imagery of the Sao purkh.
@@BrokeAristocrats imagery of Akhal poorakh
Akhal mean (who is away from birth and death)
Tysm for making this video .waheguru ji bless u .
Every sikh and non sikh say holy book but for your kind information it's not holy book. It's guru granth sahib it's living guru (present guru) mostly every sikh listen carefully. (living guru) so don't say holy book.
A Holy Book was used here to denote any sacred text. Not to be confused with any other sacred text.
It's not "Living Guru". Stop spreading nonsense. DO you know what is "living"? what is "Guru"?
My understanding is that the Guru Granth Sahib is always pertinent to the moment, and that the spirituality of the GGS is never changing. Like a river or a stream, while it changes it remains ultimately the same. The “Guru” teaching, is immortal.
no
Sorry I should have tagged. I was replying to "Sukhdev Singh".
you are right Broke.
There is a direct quote about sggs in it. It is the "place of god"(or his teachings), but not God/Guru himself. so it's not living guru, but the place of guru & teachings.
Holy book is alright.
Great video with clear explanations! Thanks a lot!💖💖
Very very nice my sister good video
From what I know, religious practising Sikhs cannot eat meat, fish or eggs.
Sikhs who are not religious, therefore, not practising Sikhs, they can do what they like but if they visit the temple, they cannot be intoxicated or drink alcohol on the premises. Same with smoking. Also, no meat, fish or eggs on the premises.
No, sikhs can eat fish,eggs,meat if they like.They are forbidden to cut hair,eat muslim cut meat halal, any intoxication and are also forbidden to have extramarital affairs or physical affairs before marriage.The khalsa or orthodox sikh is supposed to be pure.Whosoever sikh breaks these 4 rules is a sinner in eyes of God.Some sikhs don't follow these 4 rules as these are very difficult to follow but most do.These rules come under Sikh moral code of conduct Sikh Rehat Maryada
Our guru granth sahib ji are an eternal truth , god of all worlds, the prime soul which gives us life, which are soul of all ten guru’s, thats why we bow and perform serving duties.
God job btw. Love your cuteness.
Lion Bajwa guru granth sahib ji is not only our its world Guru.
Please dont use our
Thanks and sorry
Raj Singh. That’s y i used the word ours , not My‘....’dodo’
Thanks for your love and support. May wage guru ji bless you with beautiful life.
Sikhism preaches to...
Earn honestly but share with needy.
Bend before saints but rise against tyrants.
Meditate upon Lord but don't forget duty.
Live life BIG..but don't forget death.
Live in the family but remain detached.
Respect all religions but believe in One Almighty.
Remember Lord always but rise in ambrosial hours to meditate.
Remember Lord with the grace of the GURU as Guru himself is the Lord of the SIkhs.
@2:06 India did not exist when Sikhi was founded. The Punjab, historic land of the Sikhs is currently divided between Pakistan and India. Guru Nanak, founder of the Sikh faith and nation was born at Nanakana Sahib (present day Punjab, Pakistan) and resided at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur (present day Punjab, Pakistan). He traveled Europe, the Middle East and Asia. So really, Sikhi was not founded in one particular place or region, especially not at one that was founded in 1947 about 500 years after the establishment of the Sikh faith and nation.
Thank you for sharing. Of the many cultures and traditions I have studied over the years, I have a special place in my heart for the Sikh religion. I especially like the Sikh view of God (Wahe Guru), Thank you for sharing.

Waheguru ji Waheguru ji🙏🙏🙏
Sikhs are told by the Gurus (prophet/god) to be a saint soldier and hence kirpa means blessings from which kirpan is derived when means someone or something who gives blessing and protects... It is an order to keep it with us all times not just to protect ourselves but even if we see someone else in trouble, it is our duty to save them.
I love food of Sikh temple and congregation ! My parents always told me to feel safe if I see a Sikh man around! 😀😀😀
Broke India committed genocide of Sikhs it hurts when someone call Indian we r from Punjab
Not all the sikhs are punjabis and not all the punjabis are sikhs. Lot of sikhs are from kashmir, afghanistan , other parts of india and Pakistan and now from other parts of world who chose sikhism.

So nice of you. Thank you.
You have a good thinking.thanks sister.
very nice efforts, God bless u
thanku mam.
Great video :)
Good Upload 👌...
Great job
Wow! Great video. As far as my understanding, the Guru Granth Sahib teachings helps you to connect with the conscience. You look at the history of Sikhism keeping the “Conscience” part in mind & I believe that will help in further understanding.
What a great video. Thank you for sharing!
While I am not a Sikh, I have enjoyed learning about the faith a feel a deep connection to many of the teachings. For me, as a non Sikh, the music, poems and prayers seem like a stream that is carrying us back to the source. I love the idea of going within, back to the heart, to get closer to God. Thanks for your kind words.
Broke Aristocrats You are welcome!
Mam thanks for your reply
💕👍
Love from sikh
The place of worship of sikhs is called gurudwara.Temple is place of worship of hindus.Sikhs love all fellow beings of the world and make no discrimination amongst human beings.For sikhs all religions have an equal right to thrive and exist
The sign said Sikh Temple and the title here is Gurdwara. I think you should write the L.A Temple and have them change the sign. :-)
Thanksss
waheguru ji

Thanks sister
Dear Mam, a Kirpan is a short dagger that is correct...but if we see the literal meaning...the word kirpan originates from kirpa, meaning "mercy", "compassion" or "kindness"; and anaa, meaning "honor". It is weared so that Sikhs always remember that they are expected to embody the qualities of a Sant Sipahi or "saint-soldier" of God and seek strength and courage to defend the rights of all who are wrongfully oppressed or persecuted irrespective of their colour, caste, or creed. It is not for hurting someone but has a symbolic meaning that as humans each one of us should stand to protect humanity and human rights of oppressed. The tradition was started by Gurus in 16th century when there was extreme oppression and intolerance in the society. It is considered a sin in Sikhism to use the kirpan to harm someone for personal reason or enmity.
With regards
Dr A D Singh
Gurudwara can be said Gurudoor (same meaninig)
Nice! Thank you for the information. :-)
2:35 no chicken at religions venues
Yes, only vegetarian at the Gurdwara :-)
🙏🏻👍holiwood gurudwara
Kara meaning is , we no believe in superstition and it stop us to steel and it made of pure iron
Isn’t service everyday?
I am not sure. The major n services are on Sundays.
Broke Aristocrats yaa everyday
I really appreciate your effort. The Sikhs themselves beside just a few don't know the religion thoroughly and give wrong explanation to non Sikhs about their religion. The 10th Guru never ever said that from now on after my death you worship the SGGS as a living Guru. He said to take guidance, advice and leadership from it when some Sikhs asked him whom to look for as a Guru after him. Dasam Granth is a fraud and fake Granth perpetuated on the Sikhs by the British with help from the Brahmins, Nirmalas, Udasis and Mahants to dilute the teachings of our Gurus and create confusion among the Sikh masses about the 10th Guru that he can write vulgars things about women as in the Dasam Granth and he is a worshipper of Devi/ Devtas. The only Granth is SGGS and the only Nitnem is Japji Sahib, Rehras Sahib and Sohila Sahib which are in the SGGS from Page 1 - 13. Jaap Sahib and Chaupai Sahib are fake and not Nitnem. The British along with the Brahmins wanted to defeat the concept of " Ek Panth Ek Granth" meaning One Community One Book.
