My whole life when a truth is revealed to me, I start to cry. I seek knowledge in many places, but when something is true to me, it brings tears. This message brought tears for me. I think I'm Sikh. I've been searching for a while now.
T. Hepner how beautiful Every one is born sikh (learner) and we come here in this world to learn.... we learn to talk we learn to do things every thing has sikhi in it ... watch basis of sikhi channel to know more about sikhi
I’m was raised Catholic and knew some Sikhs and admired them but just this week I ended up randomly researching things and it lead me to Sikhi. I’m 19 and don’t speak Punjabi or have a Gurdwara nearby or know any Sikhs so it’s difficult but I am dedicated. My beliefs are in line with Sikhi and I didn’t even know it
Listed are some contradictions in Sikhism : It teaches the contradictory concepts of God being Sargun i.e. with attributes and also Nirgun -without attributes (p287; p102). It teaches reincarnation and yet the Guru Granth questions reincarnation(p748 M5; p1366 Kabir). It teaches the concept of hell (p465 M1; p524 M5; p793 Ravidass; p875 Ravidass; p1383 Farid; Asa Kabirji GGS p484). And yet says hell does not exist (p969 Kabir). And it also teaches the mutually exclusive concept of karma & transmigration. If you are born again and again to pay for the sins of previous lives, why the need for hell or heaven? (p686; p156; Rag Malhar M3; Rag Gauri M5) The Guru Granth says neither Hinduism nor Islam has the truth (p329 Kabir; p875 Namdev) and yet says that the opposite (contrary) is also true(p1350 Kabir).Guru Arjun Dev even validates the Vedas (p632 M5). And guru Govind Singh says Allah & Abhek (Ram) are the same and the Koran and Hindu scriptures are the same (Akal Ustat vs 16:86). It claims that there is only one way to God (p920 M3; p1279 M1) and yet the Guru Granth also teaches there are many ways to God (p885 M5.7. It teaches that all humans are children of God ( p1118 M4) yet also says, not all, but only those who love Him are His children (p658 Ravidass). The guru says that he is blind, ignorant and without enlightenment (p696 M4) yet he is called 'guru', which means one who leads from darkness to light. It teaches the existence of Heaven (p718 Namdev; p952 M3) yet the concept of Heaven is rejected(p969 Kabir). It teaches that the world is a dream, an illusion and not real (p740 M5; p1187 M9 p1231 M9)yet guru Nanak says it is real (p463 M1).

He also quotes them as though an authority(p632 M5). Guru Nanak also quotes them as though an authority (p831 M1).The fourth guru does the same and quotes them as though an authority (p998 M4). Namdev quotes the Gita as though an authority (p874 Namdev). Ravidass quotes the sage Vyas as though an authority (p658 Ravidass). The Guru Granth says that everything was created by the agency of millions of Brahmas (p1156 M5). Yet the one God created everything ( p1 M1). Dhanna jat is said to have worshipped a stone and God appeared to him. Yet stone worshipping is condemned (p1160 Kabir). Guru Granth gives no account of the creation of man and in fact says the Semitic books are false (p329 Kabir). Yet itself validates the existence of Baba Adam (p1161 Kabir). 13. The Guru Granth teaches that God does not incarnate (p1136 M5) yet talks of the Nehklank Avatar (p1403 Swayyas). 14. The gurus never called themselves divine, but in fact sinners in need of salvation by the Grace of God. (p156 M1; p536 M5; p261 M5; M5 p1301). Yet Swayyas sing praises and laudations to them and make them divine (p1405 Swayyas; p1407 Swayyas; p1408 Swayyas; p1409 Swayyas). 15. It teaches monism i.e. all is one reality and God is all (p846 M5; p464 // M1; p1291 // Malar M1; p131 Majh M5. Yet says that man is not the same essence as God but only resembles Him (p754 Suhi M3).

I am 22 years old, I have recently researched many religions, and came to the conclusion that all religions are the same and pray to one God, that we are all humans who express our love to God in our own ways. After watching videos on Sikhism it has opened my eyes that I have always been a Sikh looking for the wisdom of the guru.

"They distinguish and separate one Guru from the other. And rare is the one who knows that they, indeed, were one. They who realized this in their hearts, attained Realization of God." - Guru Gobind Singh -
God is always sending his message to the world and the last message was through sikhi. Muslims, Hindus, Christians believed in prophet guru Nanak, Sikhism is most humble peaceful religion , equal rights to everyone, democracy, serving the community etc etc. I bow to Sikhism with the utmost respect .
Thank u though their are only 210 million Sikhs of all sects, many white people I know here in British Columbia have converted to sikhi because they just knew that they were Sikhs.
What a fascinating idea, that I can already be a "Sikh" in some way... Even though I have trouble believing in specific supernatural deities and events, I've found that my idea of morality and humanity match up perfectly with what the Sikhs teach. This video almost brought me to tears
I have watched your videos for a while and wondered within my heart how a Gora like you (and myself) could find Sikhi without being born into it! I have searched my soul and my life for the answer to the question you answered so beautifully in this video! I have refused to call myself a Sikh of the Guru simply because I did not know how to accept myself, and I thought I was rushing into it (I have not followed Sikhi for very long)! My excuse was always "I am searching for my epiphany", that one thing that will make me realise my destiny...thanks to you, I have just found my epiphany! Thank you so much Uncle Ji, you truly have made my life brighter! Waheguru Ji Ka Kalsa, Wakeguru Ji Ki Fateh!

I had a near death experience and it flipped my world on its head. Ive been Sikh ever since and I didn't even know it. I'm only now learning about this way of life and I dont feel so alone anymore? I thought I was spiritual in my own way, with my own set of beliefs I got from my near death experience. Those beliefs almost perfectly align with Sikhism. This is the religion of enlightenment🙏, the religious tenements that comes from a near death experience, that i can feel in myself. We all can feel them though, I'm not special. I studied my own brief blessing of an experience with death. I always felt a duty to share my experience and I did, and I got branded " crazy ", even though I dont suffer from mental illness. It was too much for most in my life to believe. I drastically changed overnight, I'm speaking things that sound outlandish, and to most and only mental illness can cause that right. I briefly died, left my body, and felt this amazing freedom and warmth. My soul is flying around this physical plain before I'm shot to the sky, or the earth drifts away from me. Now I'm a patch of the universe, and I see another more vibrant path of the universe. It was like the most beautiful galaxy you can comprehend. Pinks, purples, blues, even some greens. I see it, and I am in a blissful awe when it speaks to me. The only 4 words I can remember it speaking ( although we had a whole conversation ). Its words were " Dont give into astonishment ". I think about it now, and I think if I did give into that feeling of amazement, I wouldn't be here today. Love you all🙏 I hope we all can do a better job to treat our brothers and sisters like the family we truly are🙏. I'm here if anybody ever needs to talk🙏
Been watching this guy for years, great kind person. What kept me from "converting", or shall we say committing, to Sikhism was the symbolism of the sword and the turban and the history/cultural stuff, it's lost with me as an American. There is a disconnect, and I feel the cultural and traditional aspects of Sikhism can't be separated by the religious side, they go hand in hand. Nowadays my only relationship with Sikhism is educating people in my social group that don't know if it comes up.
Brother there is a difference ...I am a Sikh ,born into a Sikh family but I have cut hair and I shave ...you can say I'm not a Pure sikh cause I have not taken Amrit shakhna but does not mean I am any less of a Sikh ....main is to follow the Guru's teachings
My sentiments also. I read somewhere that it is not necessary to be initiated into the Khalsa into order to practice Sikhism. The same article noted that only 10% of those who identify as Sikhs are Khalsa. Some only use 1or 2 of the 5 “K”’s until they are able to embrace (if ever) all 5. Better a little Sikhi than none at all.
I prayed to god to show the Truth, i am a muslim but i always felt there is deeper truth, i always loved the mistics like rumi and ibn arabi because they dont take religion for division and hate, and i said to myself its disrespectful to say that god is evil and hateful, god is not this or that, god is pure, god is one, god in in us, god is love, and we are responsible for everything we does ...while i am looking to the sky and talking to god " please show the truth , save me for myself" i found a RUclips video about sikhism, i dont even know about the religion but the name ...god is good. Thank you my god.

I have been an atheist with humanist leanings, meaning that I don't believe in a God per se but I believe that humans can only truly find the Divine in each other...in how we treat each other. I was told that I have actually been a Sikh since that became my way of thinking (Age 11). It really touched me and I began to weep openly (a severely rare occurrence), now I feel a pull to learn more....
@City Skyline bro,don't blame any community for the past deeds...We Hindus respect Sikhs.You can't blame hindus for what happened to the sikhs during mughal period or in 1984 genocide.If you took an survey,you will see 99.9% hindus love sikhs.And aren't you a hindu?do you know who are hindus?Sanatan Dharma,sikhs,buddhists,jains are all hindus..Google it bro...people have a misconception that sanatan dharmis are only hindus as sanatan dharmis are in majority,but this isn't right..you are a hindu too...Update your knowledge bro...
@@abhinandankundu9215 Most Hindus love Sikhs, it's true, but the Hindu community seriously needs to deal with the Hindutva fascists. You can blame the mainstream Hindu community for not intervening in 1984-1995. It's not enough to say you weren't the ones doing it when others were doing it in your name, and when they currently control the government and commit acts of hatred and violence against numerous other minorities. We should not blame left wing Hindus for the crimes and evil of right wing Hindus any more than we should blame left wing Christians and Muslims for their right wings, but we all need to take seriously how to combat the evil and hatred that the right wing of all religions promotes.
@@Gurwinder_Singh171 Sikhi doesn't have prophets, and worshipping the image of the Gurus is a perversion. Usually it gets blamed on Hinduism, Hindu practices sneaking back in to a system which is supposed to get rid of all those superstitions. There are no prophets, and there is only 1 Guru. Notice that all the human Gurus wrote their name as Nanak -- 1 Guru, 10 bodies. And What does "Nanak" mean? Grandmother's home. As in, we all come from the same grandmother. ਆਈ ਪੰਥੀ ਸਗਲ ਜਮਾਤੀ ਮਨਿ ਜੀਤੈ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ ॥ Sikhs are to worship the divine name which is equivalent to the universe. They are not supposed to worship human beings, or a book, or anything less than the source from which all of us emerge. But like every other religion, many people practice it out of tradition without understanding it. And the British colonialists and the Hindu fascists did everything they could to subvert and destroy it. So there's Christianised Sikhism with Hindu practices and prejudices. But the Sikhi of the Guru is not about exceptionalism, and certainly not about prophets.
@@Gurwinder_Singh171 There is only 1. Allah and the Christian God are not a different God but the same God. Guru Nanak taught that the true name of God is the entire universe; God speaks its own name, and in that name is everything which is true. Sat Nam. Ik Onkar. Parabrahmin. Akaal purakh. It doesn't matter what you call it. Many early Sikhs chanted "hari hari" or "gobinda gobinda" now they chant Waheguru but that's the gurmantar not properly a name. However it works as a name. The easy answer is just to say "Sikh God is Waheguru," and what is Waheguru? The universal teacher
This was so nice to watch. I am a light skinned American who has decided to persue a relationship with the Guru and become a Sikh, and this has helped to put my mind at ease because I was worried wether my 'transition' into the religion was too fast or too slow, but now I know that I should just be myself and gradually adapt to the practices at a pace that is comfortable for me.
Parker French True You could slowly take the path and if guru would want, you would realise what the reality of this world is.... At the moment of realising truth about the world, the praise of one and eternal god would automatically come to your mind in every second of the day. You would always say, god you r beautiful and everything you created is beautiful and stunning Waheguru ji 😊
GOD isn't a Guru..Gurus knew GOD but never said they were GOD..God isn't a Religon..If you wanna Live better you do good in Life then Good will follow you..GOD is LIFE nothing else..People are old fashioned where they think God is where all peoples dress the same or it's religons, but GOD made each of us and i've followed that since i was Born..l say he as a manner of Speech..So he made & makes us all..He Give us a Life to Live Clean Hearted and Simple, helping others & Speaking the Truth..l'm helping you to see the Godly way than peoples way..Most people are Good dosen't matter if they follow a religon or not..I follow GOD..God sees Everyone as an Indivudual not for their Costumes Etc..Be yourself and no one else is how GOD likes it..The 10 GURUS in HISTORY Were Very PURE & Righteous Etc..So all the Real Punjabi Sikhs Copy what they wore but are not the Gurus..GOD knows these Punjabi Sikhs come from the Gurus but are indivudually made they all have Separate Brains..GOD goes by what you do not how you Dress so all the wannabees around the Globe are doing a wrong for not accepting how God made'em..God makes no mistakes in who he made..He does punish if people make him feel it's wrong him making them coz they wanna be someone else that's if they know him but they don't or they wouldn't wanna Change..Everyone should know God but don't that's why there is soo much bad Everywhere..You don't have to go to buildings to pray..Most that go don't Practice what they Preech anyway..God is in ya if your a Good Person..God is Good..So i'm saying no use wanting to be this or that for a better Life it's better when you do Better = Right..Gods the Truth & is only one God for the Whole World..He Knows Everything at the Same Time..My Gift from God is i Allways know what's to Be..Lifes full of Surprises..GOD is more the Accurate..He helps ones who help themselves..👍🌛
So much yes! I just found Sikhi, but it resonates deeply with how I feel inside. I still consider myself partly Rasta, partly Discordian, but as far as community goes, I choose to be at the gudwara(it's true, or true enough, and available). Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh Hail Eris! JAH! Rastafari!
Karma landed me in a place that isn't very conducive to a good, healthy spiritual community that fits with me. I'll continue to meditate, read the great spiritual texts, and continue to be a seeker. I greatly admire these teachings. Thankful to be blessed enough to have access to them even if only in video and written text.
Part of Seva i.e volunteering in the welfare of mankind, providing relief in disasters and specially Langar Seva, community kitchen for all, so that nobody stays hungry, attracts me very much.
I'm pretty sure I'm Sikh, or atleast have very similar beliefs and ideas floating in my head. I just need help learning punjabi because I grew up only knowing English lol
Am crying 😭 Coz my soul was sikh but unfortunately my body born muslim 😭 also you are second man to made me cry in just 2mins 1st is GURU SAHIB JI. I always use to hear voices of IK ONKAR and what ever i felt and saw in 43yrs of my life those exacts words were about GURU SAHIB JI🙏 Waahe Guru di Khaalsa Waahe Guru da fateh 🙏
This made me smile, it is so simple and yet I let my mind wonder away with all of the earthly distractions, I have always heard the call yet I ignored it and found something that would be an excuse. I've been researching Sikhi for the past week and all that it has to offer. We are all one in this great universe, I feel it and I've known it but it wasn't until I started researching that I started to understand it. I want to learn and understand more, and this video all but confirmed for me that all of my worries about acceptance or understanding are tied to my earthly distractions. I've felt and seen it but never had the words for it, Ik Onkar connects us as one, I know what I am meant to do now.
@@mr.mayonnaise5488 yes of course , you might be knowing that Darbar sahab (golden temple) has four doors which means gurdwaras are open for everyone, for any person, irrespective of religion, language, caste, or any other difference, we the sikhs follow the path of Guru Nanak dev ji and their teaching among which equality is one ...
I have been seeking for the numinous for decades now. I was raised Christian; however, by my late teens I began realizing that that wasn't me. After that I fluctuated between agnostic and atheistic until my mid-30's. When a Buddhist temple was built in my neighborhood I looked into that and liked what I found in the Buddhadhamma, and even deeply considered ordaining, but, once again, as much as I love that religion, I'm not "feeling" the connection, even though I have a deep meditation practice through Buddhism. Seven years ago I went to a local Gurdwara for a college class assignment and felt a subtle connection. Nothing profound, but the connection was there. Ever since then I've pondered the "what if?" I've read a bit of the Guru Granth Sahib and like it. I think that the only thing holding me back is the cultural thing. Would I be accepted? Am I doing the right thing? How would I react when the politics of Punjabi rears its head (I see that subject very often in Sikh conversations, and I'm tired of the divisiveness of politics). I fear beginning the journey with Guru and quitting at some point. It's a big change for someone like myself, a white American. But, the connection is still there. I continue to lurk on Sikh videos and forums. Is it time to step up and commit?
A Sikh man helped me at the darkest part of my life, he helped me when hundreds walked by, and without realising I called what came to me unitary monotheism, and I realised that it is the same thing I believe that we all pray to the same God and our differences are petty human arguments over doctrine, I want to leave the world in a better place than when I came into it, even if it's in a small way, I think the base of my faith has came to me, i shall study, I am no false convert, but out of every religion that I have researched and looked at and tried to understand my whole life, Sikhism seems to fit the beliefs in my mind and heart the most
You have to been born Sikh..No one Changes..It's a Punjabi Religon Only..You can just do Good then Good will follow ya..You can't be fake to be good..You be yourself and do good..GOD likes the Truth..GOD is Real..He likes Truthfull People..All these fake Sikhs Around the Globe will get punished for wanting to be someone else when they should know GOD..No need to be in a religon to do Good..You just Live Good then GODs Happy with ya otherwise he punishes..l know..👍🌛

It is true that everyone is born a Sikh ( learner)but I would not recommend watching RUclips to learn more... it is good to know the history and what it teaches but the idea “ that one can learn more from within “ is far more important.... so for anyone looking to convert to Sikh... don’t .... look within learn from within because that’s what Sikhs do.... if you do it successfully and consistently you remain a Sikh... and for those people who want to convert because they want to “have”something or “earn” something I would like them to know that greed should never be a driving force if it is then you are on the wrong path....
Veer God is within and outside us at the same time. Connection is already formed, just feel that you are connected to the whole universe and each of your thought and action would impact the whole universe in some way. God bless you
I think I have found the right forum. I am just learning about Sikhism, and to be honest, I can't really find anything I don't admire about it. I just have a question that I haven't seen floating around on the net. Can you still be a Sikh and still shave?
Ernesto Torres There are many Sikhs who shave. We call them ones on the slow path to Sikhi (sehajdhari sikhs). You can start from within by learning shabad and meditation. Acceptance will come later, believe me. Bin there done that.
Ernesto Torres Sikh itself means student , student can be of first class or bachelors remains a student unless we realise God in ourselves and become a Khalsa , so answer is yes , u can start from wherever u r , whatever u r , so just start by reading and listening Gurbani , understanding Gurbani meaning and meditating.
You don't have to adopt Khalsa and take Amrit shakhna to be a Sikh ...I am a Sikh ,born into a Sikh family but I have cut hair and I shave ...you can say I'm not a Pure sikh physically but am a Pure sikh mentally and spiritually ...main is to follow the Guru's teachings and live by core values of Sikhism 🙏
PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM❤Islam is the fastest-growing religion in India. Growth rate of Muslims has been consistently higher than the growth rate of Hindus, ever since the census data of independent India has been available. For example, during the 1991-2001 decade, Muslim growth rate was 29.5% (vs 19.9% for Hindus).
The issue still remains, what do you do when you know this is what you want, but you live in a country where there's no Sikh community, no gurdwara, and the only info that you have is the one available online in English? I would appreciate any thoughts on that.
+Livia Dragan I think in such case it depends how deep the devotion is how far one is ready to go. I know that people save money to go to vacations, same way someone can save money to go to India or nearby country to learn about Sikhi. However, i do believe there is enough material available online to learn about Sikhi and Gurmukhi to start with. RUclips channel Basics of Shikhi has all sorts of material available in form of videos files.
+Vivek Jagpal Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do watch both Sikhnet and Basics of Sikhi, and I agree that you can learn a lot online. But in the long run, you feel the need to become part of a Sikh community in order to fulfil your sense of belonging, to be around people who have a similar mindset..
+Livia Dragan are you around any people/community that meditate? No matter if they call themselves Sikhs or not. We are all connecting with one source. Although they may not know anything about Sikhism as a religion, they may well share beliefs and already be practising this path in a way.
Nomad314 Well said, meditation is for sure one of the most important aspects of Sikhi and getting involved will help for sure. Other aspect that many Sikhs (including me) does not practice very often is community service. It has been a long time since i did some volunteer work but I will also suggest to get involved with so. It could be anything, as long as you are helping someone in need. It does help for sure. One last thing that can be done is reading some books written by Sikhs such as bhai veer Singh, Ranbir Singh bir will help. Books of such writers help like community of blessed ones who has recorded and shared their knowledge & wisdom.
There is an app on Google play store gurbani searcher or ios igranth with transliteration as well. you can simply install these and learn more of guru granth sahib. Try learning gurmukhi and Punjabi as well and be around practising sikhs.
Hi there! Hoping someone can help me out. I have been agnostic for many years. I'm 14 years old. My mom found some pamphlets and books for me about Sikhism. This all calls out to me. I feel that this IS who I am. I was just wondering if anybody could help me and tell me how to truly connect. (If that's the right way to phrase it)
I had to stop video to write what actually I feel when I think about 'Guru' I feel like I'm very light weight floating in clouds,a smile on my face and something like very positive energy around me. What it is? Can anyone explain please?
I'm Punjabi jatt Sikh but born in England & my parents are from the punjab but my mum has the 5Ks & Amrit & all her family in India Since their births.. My name's Amrit..l know all about it Still as i grew in it & followed it for 16 years then knew GOD properly though i'd been praying since birth.. Gods just Life not a Religon or i would've stayed in it..People have religons because they think they're holding on to God but are holding on to a man that introduced that religon..So i'm saying All in All God goes by what we do not if a 100 dress the same etc or wearing kirpan cos in Gods sight it is a weapon..Sikhs don't need that because it is from the mughal days but they've gone now..God protects me from any evil i don't & wouldn't carry a weapon..They hold a knife & pray which dosen't get heard by God but the devil cos God is Peace & Love which is Naturally RIGHT.. So all you need to do is Do Good then Good will Follow you if you become a fake sikh yes would be fake cos have to be born a punjabi sikh..No one changes & God made you how he liked so if you make him feel he made a mistake he does Punish..God is Over Perfect & gets ABSOLUTLEY Nothing Wrong..So be yourself & no one else..Punjabi sikhs copied the Gurus & the whites copy the punjabs..No one is born again..One Life..Life is GOOD or wouldn't Exist..To me asians feel death & other nations cos all live in the 14th & 15th Centry or before..This is the 21st Centry..Copy is FAKE to the Ground..God made 3 Nations which were Asians Africans & Europeans so we all belong to one of them 3 not 2..My family thought i changed when i Stepped out of the religon then realized i didn't cos no one Changes & the Feeling i used to get from the Sikh Bible is Exactly what i feel but i use different words but on the same Vibe..ONE GOD ONLY..To me God is not a book but Nature..In fact God Chose me to know him as i know nothing Else..So most of these Sikhs now are good but Kirpan isn't Peace it is a war thing.. No one on here answered ya but when i saw your comment i felt GOD that's why i did so who feels it knows it..Most people are good on here but don't feel God to the Extent..God give me a Vibe to let you Learn of him as your Capble & Willing..Still we all are individuals dosen't matter what people wear God judges by our Actions not Dress mode..l don't know if your family are Godly or not but i know you feel somert but if you wanna Stick to God don't let your family say this or that to ya..People will say religon to you cos that is all they know but i know the Truth God is the Truth..l'm Tough so you have to be..So all you have to do is do Good then good will follow you..You can go to the Gurdarwara if you like ( risk) but God isn't in no buildings only Out Side..Religon is man made...God is the Spirit not a man who no longer Exists but Remembered for his or their Braverys..So most of this World go to temples mosques & churches etc but Gods not there or people wouldn't get killed in them,those places have good & bad in them & the good Suffer for the bad..l don't Suffer but i pray God protect my family cos they go & he does Guide'em cos they're all Good & Are My Family..God is with me Everywhere i GO..He knows EVERYTHING At The Same Time..l say he as a manner of Speech.. I Learnt punjabi writing in a month when i was 8 then prayed each day till i was bout 16 from the Sikh Bible then up to this day i prayed & will each day long as im here cos that's me..At least it's Real..I feel the same since Birth..There are many ways to reach God..The Sikhs think only they know God but God made all Lifes & not all are Sikhs or all talk punjabi so there are Many ways to Reach GOD.. As you feel Good from Sikhism then you must want Sikhs to Learn you more about God but God let me Tell you not the religon ones cos God wants you to know the Truth..Any Bad people don't like the Truth..Whites can just do good in Life but they copy instead..God dislikes Fakes..Most people on here disagree with me but i Stick to God not them..God knows who is with him & who isn't..I'm Godly by the Second & as i grew i allways knew there was Somert about me that somert is God..God is Good but punishes any form of wrong doings..At least i'm Safe & Healthy 247 & i've Gifts from God one is i see things Happening.. GOD Is LIFE Ever FORWARD & Never Backward..🌜🌕🌙⭐🌛
It really doesn’t matter if you convert but will your goal is to attain moksh or nirvan. Rest doesn’t mean anything because you will reborn again and again
DHARMYOG_COM come on boy this is 2019 for God’s sake. I’m not saying don’t believe in your vedas but if something don’t make too much sense you shouldn’t argue about it. Vedas were written a long long time ago .
puncru so if something is written long time ago then it is wrong? Also keep in mind that Vedas were transmitted verbally throughout each of first 3 yuga? Many things in Sikhism confirms what is said in the Vedas. So you cant reject the root basis
DHARMYOG_COM i am not saying they are wrong but some things are right some things are wrong and dont tell me oh no everything is right , come on man be real now every religion has some flaws , but respect everyone don’t be putting random dumb messages on other religion videos you know guru nanak dev ji was a hindu but he was sent by god just watch his life story and you will learn what he taught us indians , just once watch his life documentary.
I would love to start living as a Sikh, however I've lived as a Christian my entire life. If I did leave my Christian practices to be Sikh, then there would be great conflict within my family as well as within myself. Does anyone have any advice on this situation? Thank you!
May Akaal bless you,, brother u can wake early in the morning and meditate on Waheguru (sikhs use this word for one God) by chanting this word,,, ((Sikhs offer 5 prayers at morning, one prayer at evening, and one before sleeping,, )),, if u haven't any problem then you not cut your hairs,,and do Ardaas that Almighty bless you
what you can do is just mediate in the name of waheguru even if you do for couple of minutes. soon you ll start realizing reality. It will be somewhat similar to the movie Matrix. in 2nd chapter of Sikh holy book, Jaap Sahb guru says sikhism have no right on god and his path. we don’t claim we are the only one on right path. we are one of the many right path. so just be christian and add simran meditation in your everyday life ♥️
Sir,iam from sanatan dharma...I like Sikhism and also influenced by it..I want to become a sikh,as well as my birth religion sanatan dharma,that is i want to follow both,can i?and what is the procedure to adopt khalsa panth?
Abhinandan Kundu For your situation you can become “Sehajdhari sikh” but for Khalsa you need to take Amrit after which you cannot follow any other faith.
You can google but let me clarify it. Khalsa is form which guru Govind created and make it distinct in the world and the persons will only pray to Akal Purakh Waheguru nothing else. Whereas sehajdhari sikhs which are mostly Sindhi sikhs who believe in guru Nanak, but don’t get baptized as Khalsa, They are still sikhs. Whosoever follows the ideology is a Sikh. In history there were muslims sikhs and Hindu sikhs which still has distinct identity amongst the Sikh religion.
That’s why for sikhs there is no initiation ceremony as other religions has. Just you have to believe in 1 and read Gurbani, pray at gurudwara which depends upon on your devotion when ever have time get wisdom from Gurbani. You can get a Hindi Gutka from your nearby gurudwara.
wow thats a wondeful thought to have amrit and become a gursikh but I would say that you start out slowly start practising what its like to be an amritdhari like wake up at early morning start reading gurbani slowly If you know Punjabi that's brilliant but if no then start to read bani in language you know gurbani is transliterated into many languages just google it to find out start to grow your hair try to tie a turban the way u like there are various ways to tie use whichever you like and when you feel that's i am ready then enquire at your local gurdwara abt amrit sanchar and they will thoroughly guide you on this or you can watch basics of sikhi on youtube for any help. ps: reply if possible good luck!!!
And what about those that added on to their Spiritual being, becoming a Sikh of the Guru and later on for reasons left the Sat Sangat? Am I still a Sikh in your eyes?
The Guru has been calling me my whole life. Eventually I was led to Sikhi - not to Convert, to ADD MORE TRUTH. So... If I "DRESS" Sikh its more PRIDE that I KNOW, I'm there for all people as a Sikh, I will stand with the OPPRESSED - Like a SIKH (Additionally with an EAR to Sikh teling me information to help stay on the path) ... But I'm still a Non-trinity Christian... Like Nanak's Muslim buddy, I don't disown my scriptures, I added to them. As for others getting the wrong message from them - I can only help one person at a time. Like the Sikh Say to Christians: Pray to God, Worship God, become Lost in GOD and Spiritual things.. And FOLLOW Jesus Parables as they lead to salvation. I Add just a few things for the Abrahamics - in hope folks draw closer to GOD. 1: God told Moses, no man can see he face and yet live 2: Saint John, who knows Jesus better than you, wrote "No man hath seen God at any time" 3: Regarding Eternal Fire Torture: Jesus said, "Fear not the one who kills the body and not the soul, fear instead the one who is able to destroy both SOUL and BODY in Gehenna" Gehenna is the Second Death, therefore it must be like the First. Psalms explains death quite plainly and matches the Sikh Grand Sahib: "In that day, his body returneth to his earth, his breath (spirit) returns to God, and his thoughts indeed Perish" - Psalms - God's Word Describes DEATH TRUTHFULLY. Sikh have one promise but it doesn't apply to the rest - the Rest have an opportunity to KEEP their IDENTITY and all they have to do is "LOVE GOD" and "LOVE EACHOTHER" Resurrection is for Dead People. No ONE is in HELL on Fire in torture, NO NOT ONE. "The Wage of Sin is Death" If YOUR GOD Exacts ETERNAL INTEREST when a WAGE has been PAID, perhaps your GOD is MOLECH, Not the GURU, YHWH, The Great Spirit, Jehovah, Waheguru, Almighty God. God is LOVE, not eternal wages for FINITE SIN in any case. God's plan is to have a huge family reunion after the Wicked are evicted... Be part of that PARTY by Serving GOD so he can keep you close to his Bosom, and when he takes a few steps from you, he looks back and sees you catching up to be with him. If you are like this little humble sheep, he will guide you to salvation... not just because you want salvation, but from God's vantaqe - you are one of his CHILDREN.. Darn Right he wants you tagging along - and he doesn't mind if you wander a little - but keep your eyes on him at all times, so if he leads you another direction - you can run that direction and the whole time you do - he will rejoice in your loyalty despite whatever flaws you may be working on or need to. So I'm a Christian Sikh - That is a Christian - SIKHING (Seeking) More Truth - and I found it - now I stand by the TENETS 100%, Bible 100%, and San Grand Sahib (Gurbani) - It's like hearing a Bible for the first time and each verse and/or stanza is loaded with wisdom applicable to all. It's Wonderful to see scripture not hacked up by dueling SCRIBES with questionable agenda - SIKH are a Light to the world I think... No ONLY RELIGION - but one of the more enlightened ones. There are others - but sometimes the more holy they are, they more they are hated so I'll leave it at that. Praise Waheguru (GOD), Jesus does. "All Praise goes to the FATHER of our Lord Jesus" - SAINT PAUL "No Man hath every Seen God at any time" - Saint JOHN "No Man can see my face and yet live" - YHWH - Jehovah - Waheguru - The Great Spirit - Said HIMSELF Jesus isn't GOD... GOD is, and he is Jesus Father. Col 1:15-17, John 3:16 To Claim Jesus is GOD and Praise Jesus - you must deny Jehovah, Saint Paul, Saint John... and still taking Ciommunion as Called to HEaven? You know that taking it without permission from GOD is like a bullet to Jesus head, right? Don't say you weren't warned. God can forgive, if you stop perhaps, but biblically, its worse than murdering someone which is forgivable. Taking the WINE and BREAD without "CALLED TO HEAVEN 777' WRITTEN on your forehead is WRATH straight up worse than a HOMOSEXUAL dancing in a Pride Parade - trust that! Safer to be a SIKH and not touch it. Or like an American Indian Worshiping the Great Spirit... no touchy Holy Grail. That's like taking the fruit in the garden without GOD Saying YES first - Don't TRUST PEOPLE with such things! Trust GOD! What is worthy? Read Matt 19:16 - The Rich man. Not SAINT MATERIAL, he was loved, loyal and due for a PALM BRANCH - The Meek Inherit the EARTH. Basically that is everyone who doesn't think they are a SAINT ORDAINED by GOD basically. the Real Ones go Up, the SAINT FRAUDS are Facing MORE Wrath when Jeus arrives than any sikh or anyone else really... Maybe the Illuminati folks... but... same BOAT. The fix? Stop praying to Jesus, Pray to his Father, and Stop drinking the WINE and eating the unleaven bread until CALLED by GOD. See I wasn't CALLED BY GOD to the Sikh... The Bible told be - this religion - deserves a second look: Fruits of the spirit are the SECRET PASSCODE - When a group of people genuinely have all the fruits of the spirit... that's a SIGN from GOD they are tuned into him. You cqan't fake it, not long anyways.... I am an ORDAINED Sheepdog.. a Mutt really... but I can tell in any church: Saint, Palm Branch, or Treacherous waters... Easily.. any church.. or Temple or Mosque. Bible teaches us this rule of thumb, I'm not special. If you see fruits of the spirit... how are they doing with the 10 commandments - 9 out of 10 (sabbath not a thing for them, but a day of worship is often observed - Sundays to make it easier for folks) But Reincarnation? Nothing in the bible PREVENTS GOD from making a different promise to another bloodline if he Wants to. That's the part I'm aware of: A Sikh - might get resurrected or reincarnated depending when they die.. but in the end game - All are resurrected GOD wants to be at the family reunion that is in our furture: For Heaven's Sake - Get under God's WING in SOME house of God or with a determined mind and heart and your scripture. If you have no GOD in your life - I recommend Sikh, unless you want to join the SAINT School Jehovah's Witnesses - but most aren't tough enough for following Jesus into the Ministry day after day, weekend after weekend... So if you don't like Preaching, you're probably not SAINT material anyways. There is another GREAT LOVE, willing to die for GOD or your fellow man like a Sikh. Sikh have that in spades... some preach additionally - but we can't all be heroes. Sikh is about peace, but when someone is doing evil against another, trying to assist the victim - It's what we Sikh do - whether by BLOOD or the Common bond we have with them :GOD, BLOOD, LIFE, HISTORY, HOPE for Eternal Life on Earth! (Some will go up - them seats are numbered). No YHWH+LAMB on your forehead, get a palm branch - you didn't LOSE! YOU are still Winning!!!! Revelations Chapter 7 - TWO FOLDS! Earth but some go up. Chances are, if you think you are going to heaven, and GOD didn't supernaturally BLOW YOUR MIND and SCARE you and FREAK you out - then you probably just THINK you are going to heaven: PRIDE KILLS. Taking it not called is like a shooting Jesus dead.Steal From God? Remember, there is no LAW against abstaining - but you face WRATH if you DARE take it. I didn't write the BIBLE: Read it! King James deleted God's name 6000+ times and put in a few verses, yanked out the book of Jasher, and has put LORD in there instead 6000 times whilst saying Jesus is GOD? Saint JOHN WARNED Molesting Scripture: Deleted YHWH 6000 times? OUCHY New King James bibles 100% HALLOWED NAME FREE (Deleted YHWH, Made Jesus GOD) OUCH New Gideon Bibles - found in hotels - 100% HALLOWED NAME FREE Catholic ANYTHING ANYONE: The Vatican Voted YHWH and Yah-Weh too Jewish, but they stopped using Jehovah too... deleted it and even the Priests are instructed NOT TO SAY IT Praying to Mary or Saints: Forbidden in the Bible as Necromancy The Sins are stacked to the HEAVENS. GOD took care of the LEGAL Matter: We Stole Perfect Man, God gave one to us - we killed him. The Deal is done. All Saved - providing the obey Love God, Love Neighbor... If you want to upgrade, read that Matthew 19:16 over and over until you see - that RICH MAN WAS and WILL BE Blessed, he just wasn't getting a THRONE. I'm not after a throne, I wouldn't even sheep dog except God scared me worse than demons the day after I prayed to him and told him I was bowing out of his big good versus evil merry-go-round - that was when after 46 years of worship and never hearing a word.... to an experience that was WAY beyond a Voice... in fact, all I will say, is if you're praying for God or an Angel to appear - I'm leaving. I can pray from half a mile away - I'm convinced he hears me just fine. I decided I like the "LOW VOLTAGE" God and holyspirit hugs (pineal gland) then the HIGH VOLTAGE - "GUESS WHO?" I love him, I welcome him, my request to him for me - is - I already believe... please keep away from me Father. I Love you - stay over there. If you think this odd, then I know you weren't ORDAINED for heaven, I was told to sheep dog and he wasn't all friendly about who I am and how expendable I am and how easily he will crush me... etc.. Yall see harps and white robes - I didn't see anything.. but I thought I was going to DIE, heart in a vise, if you Love God, and Love Neighbor - seriously - JESUS will fly over you and concentrate on the EVIL when he comes again... I recommend everyone kiss the ground and hold the position when Jesus arrives.. Bend a Knee if you like, I'll kiss dirt until he says get up basically. Not judging you knee bender - I'm just more scared of God then ever before - and I think that's where more people need to be... I asked GOD if I could pray with the Sikh, he said "You may pray with the Sikh" he didn't say "Become a SIKH, Convert, drop the gospel" so I am Christian and Sikh and Nanak would Smile.

@@mr.mayonnaise5488 you are very much welcome brother
i can’t tell what i am. i’ve been thelemic for a year but sikhism speaks to me a lot
I’m was raised Catholic and knew some Sikhs and admired them but just this week I ended up randomly researching things and it lead me to Sikhi.
I’m 19 and don’t speak Punjabi or have a Gurdwara nearby or know any Sikhs so it’s difficult but I am dedicated. My beliefs are in line with Sikhi and I didn’t even know it
you can use youtube channels like basic of sikhi and Nanak Naam. very helpful 😃
Thats nice. How's your sikhi going?

Listed are some contradictions in Sikhism :

It teaches reincarnation and yet the Guru Granth questions reincarnation(p748 M5; p1366 Kabir).
It teaches the concept of hell (p465 M1; p524 M5; p793 Ravidass; p875 Ravidass; p1383 Farid; Asa Kabirji GGS p484). And yet says hell does not exist (p969 Kabir). And it also teaches the mutually exclusive concept of karma & transmigration. If you are born again and again to pay for the sins of previous lives, why the need for hell or heaven? (p686; p156; Rag Malhar M3; Rag Gauri M5)
The Guru Granth says neither Hinduism nor Islam has the truth (p329 Kabir; p875 Namdev) and yet says that the opposite (contrary) is also true(p1350 Kabir).Guru Arjun Dev even validates the Vedas (p632 M5). And guru Govind Singh says Allah & Abhek (Ram) are the same and the Koran and Hindu scriptures are the same (Akal Ustat vs 16:86).
It claims that there is only one way to God (p920 M3; p1279 M1) and yet the Guru Granth also teaches there are many ways to God (p885 M5.7. It teaches that all humans are children of God ( p1118 M4) yet also says, not all, but only those who love Him are His children (p658 Ravidass).
The guru says that he is blind, ignorant and without enlightenment (p696 M4) yet he is called 'guru', which means one who leads from darkness to light.
It teaches the existence of Heaven (p718 Namdev; p952 M3) yet the concept of Heaven is rejected(p969 Kabir).
It teaches that the world is a dream, an illusion and not real (p740 M5; p1187 M9 p1231 M9)yet guru Nanak says it is real (p463 M1).
Guru Arjun Dev claims that he was given supernatural powers (p782 M5) yet guru Nanak, admitted to the Siddh yogis that he performed no miracles(Bhai Gurdas // 1.42/43)
The Guru Granth rejects the Vedas (p329 Kabir) yet Guru Arjun Dev validates the Vedas (p632 M5). He also quotes them as though an authority(p632 M5). Guru Nanak also quotes them as though an authority (p831 M1).The fourth guru does the same and quotes them as though an authority (p998 M4). Namdev quotes the Gita as though an authority (p874 Namdev). Ravidass quotes the sage Vyas as though an authority (p658 Ravidass).
The Guru Granth says that everything was created by the agency of millions of Brahmas (p1156 M5). Yet the one God created everything ( p1 M1).
Dhanna jat is said to have worshipped a stone and God appeared to him. Yet stone worshipping is condemned (p1160 Kabir).
Guru Granth gives no account of the creation of man and in fact says the Semitic books are false (p329 Kabir). Yet itself validates the existence of Baba Adam (p1161 Kabir).
13. The Guru Granth teaches that God does not incarnate (p1136 M5) yet talks of the Nehklank Avatar (p1403 Swayyas).
14. The gurus never called themselves divine, but in fact sinners in need of salvation by the Grace of God. (p156 M1; p536 M5; p261 M5; M5 p1301). Yet Swayyas sing praises and laudations to them and make them divine (p1405 Swayyas; p1407 Swayyas; p1408 Swayyas; p1409 Swayyas).
15. It teaches monism i.e. all is one reality and God is all (p846 M5; p464 // M1; p1291 // Malar M1; p131 Majh M5. Yet says that man is not the same essence as God but only resembles Him (p754 Suhi M3).
@@Randomhandlename this is why half knowledge is harmful, look for basics of sikhi RUclips channel to know the truth there are no contradicitions in Sikhi
I am 22 years old, I have recently researched many religions, and came to the conclusion that all religions are the same and pray to one God, that we are all humans who express our love to God in our own ways. After watching videos on Sikhism it has opened my eyes that I have always been a Sikh looking for the wisdom of the guru.
Oh. I’m Sikh. I just didn’t know it. What a relief. Thank you.
As someone who has converted, when you know you know.

@Find Out why should I waste my time on you when I already know the truth
"They distinguish and separate one Guru from the other. And rare is the one who knows that they, indeed, were one. They who realized this in their hearts, attained Realization of God." - Guru Gobind Singh -
God is always sending his message to the world and the last message was through sikhi. Muslims, Hindus, Christians believed in prophet guru Nanak, Sikhism is most humble peaceful religion , equal rights to everyone, democracy, serving the community etc etc. I bow to Sikhism with the utmost respect .
Thank u though their are only 210 million Sikhs of all sects, many white people I know here in British Columbia have converted to sikhi because they just knew that they were Sikhs.
What a fascinating idea, that I can already be a "Sikh" in some way...
Even though I have trouble believing in specific supernatural deities and events, I've found that my idea of morality and humanity match up perfectly with what the Sikhs teach.
This video almost brought me to tears
I have watched your videos for a while and wondered within my heart how a Gora like you (and myself) could find Sikhi without being born into it! I have searched my soul and my life for the answer to the question you answered so beautifully in this video! I have refused to call myself a Sikh of the Guru simply because I did not know how to accept myself, and I thought I was rushing into it (I have not followed Sikhi for very long)! My excuse was always "I am searching for my epiphany", that one thing that will make me realise my destiny...thanks to you, I have just found my epiphany! Thank you so much Uncle Ji, you truly have made my life brighter! Waheguru Ji Ka Kalsa, Wakeguru Ji Ki Fateh!

you Shine so brightly - you are an inspiration. Thank you...
I had a near death experience and it flipped my world on its head. Ive been Sikh ever since and I didn't even know it. I'm only now learning about this way of life and I dont feel so alone anymore? I thought I was spiritual in my own way, with my own set of beliefs I got from my near death experience. Those beliefs almost perfectly align with Sikhism. This is the religion of enlightenment🙏, the religious tenements that comes from a near death experience, that i can feel in myself. We all can feel them though, I'm not special. I studied my own brief blessing of an experience with death. I always felt a duty to share my experience and I did, and I got branded " crazy ", even though I dont suffer from mental illness. It was too much for most in my life to believe. I drastically changed overnight, I'm speaking things that sound outlandish, and to most and only mental illness can cause that right. I briefly died, left my body, and felt this amazing freedom and warmth. My soul is flying around this physical plain before I'm shot to the sky, or the earth drifts away from me. Now I'm a patch of the universe, and I see another more vibrant path of the universe. It was like the most beautiful galaxy you can comprehend. Pinks, purples, blues, even some greens. I see it, and I am in a blissful awe when it speaks to me. The only 4 words I can remember it speaking ( although we had a whole conversation ). Its words were " Dont give into astonishment ". I think about it now, and I think if I did give into that feeling of amazement, I wouldn't be here today. Love you all🙏 I hope we all can do a better job to treat our brothers and sisters like the family we truly are🙏. I'm here if anybody ever needs to talk🙏
Been watching this guy for years, great kind person. What kept me from "converting", or shall we say committing, to Sikhism was the symbolism of the sword and the turban and the history/cultural stuff, it's lost with me as an American. There is a disconnect, and I feel the cultural and traditional aspects of Sikhism can't be separated by the religious side, they go hand in hand. Nowadays my only relationship with Sikhism is educating people in my social group that don't know if it comes up.
i think that is the beauty of it.. The ones that have a disconnect but still follow that path and commit are really blessed by the Guru
Cosmic Fatty why not? Genuinely confused and curious
Brother there is a difference ...I am a Sikh ,born into a Sikh family but I have cut hair and I shave ...you can say I'm not a Pure sikh cause I have not taken Amrit shakhna but does not mean I am any less of a Sikh ....main is to follow the Guru's teachings
My sentiments also. I read somewhere that it is not necessary to be initiated into the Khalsa into order to practice Sikhism. The same article noted that only 10% of those who identify as Sikhs are Khalsa. Some only use 1or 2 of the 5
“K”’s until they are able to embrace (if ever) all 5. Better a little Sikhi than none at all.
I prayed to god to show the Truth, i am a muslim but i always felt there is deeper truth, i always loved the mistics like rumi and ibn arabi because they dont take religion for division and hate, and i said to myself its disrespectful to say that god is evil and hateful, god is not this or that, god is pure, god is one, god in in us, god is love, and we are responsible for everything we does ...while i am looking to the sky and talking to god " please show the truth , save me for myself" i found a RUclips video about sikhism, i dont even know about the religion but the name ...god is good. Thank you my god.

@@abhinandankundu9215 Most Hindus love Sikhs, it's true, but the Hindu community seriously needs to deal with the Hindutva fascists. You can blame the mainstream Hindu community for not intervening in 1984-1995. It's not enough to say you weren't the ones doing it when others were doing it in your name, and when they currently control the government and commit acts of hatred and violence against numerous other minorities. We should not blame left wing Hindus for the crimes and evil of right wing Hindus any more than we should blame left wing Christians and Muslims for their right wings, but we all need to take seriously how to combat the evil and hatred that the right wing of all religions promotes.
@@Gurwinder_Singh171 Sikhi doesn't have prophets, and worshipping the image of the Gurus is a perversion. Usually it gets blamed on Hinduism, Hindu practices sneaking back in to a system which is supposed to get rid of all those superstitions. There are no prophets, and there is only 1 Guru. Notice that all the human Gurus wrote their name as Nanak -- 1 Guru, 10 bodies. And What does "Nanak" mean? Grandmother's home. As in, we all come from the same grandmother.
ਆਈ ਪੰਥੀ ਸਗਲ ਜਮਾਤੀ ਮਨਿ ਜੀਤੈ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ ॥
Sikhs are to worship the divine name which is equivalent to the universe. They are not supposed to worship human beings, or a book, or anything less than the source from which all of us emerge. But like every other religion, many people practice it out of tradition without understanding it. And the British colonialists and the Hindu fascists did everything they could to subvert and destroy it. So there's Christianised Sikhism with Hindu practices and prejudices. But the Sikhi of the Guru is not about exceptionalism, and certainly not about prophets.
@@Gurwinder_Singh171 There is only 1. Allah and the Christian God are not a different God but the same God. Guru Nanak taught that the true name of God is the entire universe; God speaks its own name, and in that name is everything which is true. Sat Nam. Ik Onkar. Parabrahmin. Akaal purakh. It doesn't matter what you call it. Many early Sikhs chanted "hari hari" or "gobinda gobinda" now they chant Waheguru but that's the gurmantar not properly a name. However it works as a name. The easy answer is just to say "Sikh God is Waheguru," and what is Waheguru? The universal teacher
Ok thanks🙏🙇,,,
Very touching and deep. I want to cry when listening. One of the best videos I have ever watched. Thanks so much for the messages! 💙♥️💕🙏🙏🙏
This was so nice to watch. I am a light skinned American who has decided to persue a relationship with the Guru and become a Sikh, and this has helped to put my mind at ease because I was worried wether my 'transition' into the religion was too fast or too slow, but now I know that I should just be myself and gradually adapt to the practices at a pace that is comfortable for me.

True
You could slowly take the path and if guru would want, you would realise what the reality of this world is....
At the moment of realising truth about the world, the praise of one and eternal god would automatically come to your mind in every second of the day.
You would always say, god you r beautiful and everything you created is beautiful and stunning

So much yes! I just found Sikhi, but it resonates deeply with how I feel inside. I still consider myself partly Rasta, partly Discordian, but as far as community goes, I choose to be at the gudwara(it's true, or true enough, and available).

Everything I learned from Shrimada Bhagwada Gita is applicable in Sikhism as well.
Everything sikhi is what my heart has been- it had me crying because I didn’t know there were people with similar stuff.
Karma landed me in a place that isn't very conducive to a good, healthy spiritual community that fits with me. I'll continue to meditate, read the great spiritual texts, and continue to be a seeker. I greatly admire these teachings. Thankful to be blessed enough to have access to them even if only in video and written text.

From what sikhism has heen described i believe everything you believe and i discovered it on my own.
The answer is exactly what I felt within. Thank you!
This made me smile, it is so simple and yet I let my mind wonder away with all of the earthly distractions, I have always heard the call yet I ignored it and found something that would be an excuse. I've been researching Sikhi for the past week and all that it has to offer. We are all one in this great universe, I feel it and I've known it but it wasn't until I started researching that I started to understand it. I want to learn and understand more, and this video all but confirmed for me that all of my worries about acceptance or understanding are tied to my earthly distractions. I've felt and seen it but never had the words for it, Ik Onkar connects us as one, I know what I am meant to do now.
im interested to convert to Sikhism
Sai Krishna Gp get to nearby gurudwara and research before making decision.
Be you sir and follow the path of serving other and be the person for doing everything right
@@nuvjotsingh I don’t speak Punjabi will the Gurdwara still allow me?
@@mr.mayonnaise5488 yes of course , you might be knowing that Darbar sahab (golden temple) has four doors which means gurdwaras are open for everyone, for any person, irrespective of religion, language, caste, or any other difference, we the sikhs follow the path of Guru Nanak dev ji and their teaching among which equality is one ...
I have been seeking for the numinous for decades now. I was raised Christian; however, by my late teens I began realizing that that wasn't me. After that I fluctuated between agnostic and atheistic until my mid-30's. When a Buddhist temple was built in my neighborhood I looked into that and liked what I found in the Buddhadhamma, and even deeply considered ordaining, but, once again, as much as I love that religion, I'm not "feeling" the connection, even though I have a deep meditation practice through Buddhism. Seven years ago I went to a local Gurdwara for a college class assignment and felt a subtle connection. Nothing profound, but the connection was there. Ever since then I've pondered the "what if?" I've read a bit of the Guru Granth Sahib and like it. I think that the only thing holding me back is the cultural thing. Would I be accepted? Am I doing the right thing? How would I react when the politics of Punjabi rears its head (I see that subject very often in Sikh conversations, and I'm tired of the divisiveness of politics).
I fear beginning the journey with Guru and quitting at some point. It's a big change for someone like myself, a white American. But, the connection is still there. I continue to lurk on Sikh videos and forums. Is it time to step up and commit?
Am am a Hindu and I respect Sikhism. Jay Guru Nanank 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A Sikh man helped me at the darkest part of my life, he helped me when hundreds walked by, and without realising I called what came to me unitary monotheism, and I realised that it is the same thing I believe that we all pray to the same God and our differences are petty human arguments over doctrine, I want to leave the world in a better place than when I came into it, even if it's in a small way, I think the base of my faith has came to me, i shall study, I am no false convert, but out of every religion that I have researched and looked at and tried to understand my whole life, Sikhism seems to fit the beliefs in my mind and heart the most

It is true that everyone is born a Sikh ( learner)but I would not recommend watching RUclips to learn more... it is good to know the history and what it teaches but the idea “ that one can learn more from within “ is far more important.... so for anyone looking to convert to Sikh... don’t .... look within learn from within because that’s what Sikhs do.... if you do it successfully and consistently you remain a Sikh... and for those people who want to convert because they want to “have”something or “earn” something I would like them to know that greed should never be a driving force if it is then you are on the wrong path....

I think I have found the right forum. I am just learning about Sikhism, and to be honest, I can't really find anything I don't admire about it. I just have a question that I haven't seen floating around on the net. Can you still be a Sikh and still shave?
Ernesto Torres
There are many Sikhs who shave. We call them ones on the slow path to Sikhi (sehajdhari sikhs). You can start from within by learning shabad and meditation. Acceptance will come later, believe me. Bin there done that.
Ernesto Torres Sikh itself means student , student can be of first class or bachelors remains a student unless we realise God in ourselves and become a Khalsa , so answer is yes , u can start from wherever u r , whatever u r , so just start by reading and listening Gurbani , understanding Gurbani meaning and meditating.
Forum? What forum is it
You don't have to adopt Khalsa and take Amrit shakhna to be a Sikh ...I am a Sikh ,born into a Sikh family but I have cut hair and I shave ...you can say I'm not a Pure sikh physically but am a Pure sikh mentally and spiritually ...main is to follow the Guru's teachings and live by core values of Sikhism 🙏

Really.wonderful. Explanation
The issue still remains, what do you do when you know this is what you want, but you live in a country where there's no Sikh community, no gurdwara, and the only info that you have is the one available online in English? I would appreciate any thoughts on that.
+Livia Dragan
I think in such case it depends how deep the devotion is how far one is ready to go. I know that people save money to go to vacations, same way someone can save money to go to India or nearby country to learn about Sikhi. However, i do believe there is enough material available online to learn about Sikhi and Gurmukhi to start with.
RUclips channel Basics of Shikhi has all sorts of material available in form of videos files.
+Vivek Jagpal Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do watch both Sikhnet and Basics of Sikhi, and I agree that you can learn a lot online. But in the long run, you feel the need to become part of a Sikh community in order to fulfil your sense of belonging, to be around people who have a similar mindset..
+Livia Dragan are you around any people/community that meditate? No matter if they call themselves Sikhs or not. We are all connecting with one source. Although they may not know anything about Sikhism as a religion, they may well share beliefs and already be practising this path in a way.
Nomad314
Well said, meditation is for sure one of the most important aspects of Sikhi and getting involved will help for sure.
Other aspect that many Sikhs (including me) does not practice very often is community service. It has been a long time since i did some volunteer work but I will also suggest to get involved with so. It could be anything, as long as you are helping someone in need. It does help for sure.
One last thing that can be done is reading some books written by Sikhs such as bhai veer Singh, Ranbir Singh bir will help. Books of such writers help like community of blessed ones who has recorded and shared their knowledge & wisdom.
There is an app on Google play store gurbani searcher or ios igranth with transliteration as well. you can simply install these and learn more of guru granth sahib. Try learning gurmukhi and Punjabi as well and be around practising sikhs.
Exactly what I feel

Hi there! Hoping someone can help me out. I have been agnostic for many years. I'm 14 years old. My mom found some pamphlets and books for me about Sikhism. This all calls out to me.

Hi, it’s been a few years-how are you doing right now?
I had to stop video to write what actually I feel when I think about 'Guru' I feel like I'm very light weight floating in clouds,a smile on my face and something like very positive energy around me.
What it is? Can anyone explain please?
I'm Punjabi jatt Sikh but born in England & my parents are from the punjab but my mum has the 5Ks & Amrit & all her family in India Since their births.. My name's Amrit..l know all about it Still as i grew in it & followed it for 16 years then knew GOD properly though i'd been praying since birth.. Gods just Life not a Religon or i would've stayed in it..People have religons because they think they're holding on to God but are holding on to a man that introduced that religon..So i'm saying All in All God goes by what we do not if a 100 dress the same etc or wearing kirpan cos in Gods sight it is a weapon..Sikhs don't need that because it is from the mughal days but they've gone now..God protects me from any evil i don't & wouldn't carry a weapon..They hold a knife & pray which dosen't get heard by God but the devil cos God is Peace & Love which is Naturally RIGHT..
So all you need to do is Do Good then Good will Follow you if you become a fake sikh yes would be fake cos have to be born a punjabi sikh..No one changes & God made you how he liked so if you make him feel he made a mistake he does Punish..God is Over Perfect & gets ABSOLUTLEY Nothing Wrong..So be yourself & no one else..Punjabi sikhs copied the Gurus & the whites copy the punjabs..No one is born again..One Life..Life is GOOD or wouldn't Exist..To me asians feel death & other nations cos all live in the 14th & 15th Centry or before..This is the 21st Centry..Copy is FAKE to the Ground..God made 3 Nations which were Asians Africans & Europeans so we all belong to one of them 3 not 2..My family thought i changed when i Stepped out of the religon then realized i didn't cos no one Changes & the Feeling i used to get from the Sikh Bible is Exactly what i feel but i use different words but on the same Vibe..ONE GOD ONLY..To me God is not a book but Nature..In fact God Chose me to know him as i know nothing Else..So most of these Sikhs now are good but Kirpan isn't Peace it is a war thing..
No one on here answered ya but when i saw your comment i felt GOD that's why i did so who feels it knows it..Most people are good on here but don't feel God to the Extent..God give me a Vibe to let you Learn of him as your Capble & Willing..Still we all are individuals dosen't matter what people wear God judges by our Actions not Dress mode..l don't know if your family are Godly or not but i know you feel somert but if you wanna Stick to God don't let your family say this or that to ya..People will say religon to you cos that is all they know but i know the Truth God is the Truth..l'm Tough so you have to be..So all you have to do is do Good then good will follow you..You can go to the Gurdarwara if you like ( risk) but God isn't in no buildings only Out Side..Religon is man made...God is the Spirit not a man who no longer Exists but Remembered for his or their Braverys..So most of this World go to temples mosques & churches etc but Gods not there or people wouldn't get killed in them,those places have good & bad in them & the good Suffer for the bad..l don't Suffer but i pray God protect my family cos they go & he does Guide'em cos they're all Good & Are My Family..God is with me
Everywhere i GO..He knows EVERYTHING At The Same Time..l say he as a manner of Speech..
I Learnt punjabi writing in a month when i was 8 then prayed each day till i was bout 16 from the Sikh Bible then up to this day i prayed & will each day long as im here cos that's me..At least it's Real..I feel the same since Birth..There are many ways to reach God..The Sikhs think only they know God but God made all Lifes & not all are Sikhs or all talk punjabi so there are Many ways to Reach GOD..
As you feel Good from Sikhism then you must want Sikhs to Learn you more about God but God let me Tell you not the religon ones cos God wants you to know the Truth..Any Bad people don't like the Truth..Whites can just do good in Life but they copy instead..God dislikes Fakes..Most people on here disagree with me but i Stick to God not them..God knows who is with him & who isn't..I'm Godly by the Second & as i grew i allways knew there was Somert about me that somert is God..God is Good but punishes any form of wrong doings..At least i'm Safe & Healthy
247 & i've Gifts from God one is i see things Happening..
GOD Is LIFE Ever FORWARD & Never Backward..🌜🌕🌙⭐🌛
You felt Strenght Energy & Happiness which is LIFE from G🌕D..🌙🌙
Exactly 💞💞🙏🙏🙏
It really doesn’t matter if you convert but will your goal is to attain moksh or nirvan. Rest doesn’t mean anything because you will reborn again and again
DHARMYOG_COM who Told you that boy ?????
puncru Vedic scriptures clearly say that
DHARMYOG_COM come on boy this is 2019 for God’s sake. I’m not saying don’t believe in your vedas but if something don’t make too much sense you shouldn’t argue about it. Vedas were written a long long time ago .
puncru so if something is written long time ago then it is wrong? Also keep in mind that Vedas were transmitted verbally throughout each of first 3 yuga? Many things in Sikhism confirms what is said in the Vedas. So you cant reject the root basis
DHARMYOG_COM i am not saying they are wrong but some things are right some things are wrong and dont tell me oh no everything is right , come on man be real now every religion has some flaws , but respect everyone don’t be putting random dumb messages on other religion videos you know guru nanak dev ji was a hindu but he was sent by god just watch his life story and you will learn what he taught us indians , just once watch his life documentary.
Ilove guru nanak
I would love to start living as a Sikh, however I've lived as a Christian my entire life. If I did leave my Christian practices to be Sikh, then there would be great conflict within my family as well as within myself. Does anyone have any advice on this situation? Thank you!
May Akaal bless you,, brother u can wake early in the morning and meditate on Waheguru (sikhs use this word for one God) by chanting this word,,, ((Sikhs offer 5 prayers at morning, one prayer at evening, and one before sleeping,, )),, if u haven't any problem then you not cut your hairs,,and do Ardaas that Almighty bless you
Show them what is sikhi is all about through your actions with compassion and love and service for people
what you can do is just mediate in the name of waheguru even if you do for couple of minutes. soon you ll start realizing reality. It will be somewhat similar to the movie Matrix. in 2nd chapter of Sikh holy book, Jaap Sahb guru says sikhism have no right on god and his path. we don’t claim we are the only one on right path. we are one of the many right path. so just be christian and add simran meditation in your everyday life ♥️
🤘✌💜👁🦋✨🌟🌺🌬 intriguing. I came to lots of these thoughts before i heard of this. Hmmm🤔
Very well said sir g 😊
So anyone who wants to be a sihk already is am i correct?
I want to convert to sikhissm but hinduvta mobs discouraged me and told my parents.... They beat my sikhi friends 💔💔
Very Sad brother.... May Waheguru bless you..
hi...I have a question...Can Siks recite hindu mantras like "Mahamritunjay mantra" side by side with Gurbaani!
No, even sikhs reject all hindu gods like shiv, vishnu, brahma, raam, krishna,,,,, sikhs only believe in one God,,,, and obey there gurus rule,,,,,
@@Gurwinder_Singh171 yes, u r right,,,
Sir,iam from sanatan dharma...I like Sikhism and also influenced by it..I want to become a sikh,as well as my birth religion sanatan dharma,that is i want to follow both,can i?and what is the procedure to adopt khalsa panth?
Abhinandan Kundu For your situation you can become “Sehajdhari sikh” but for Khalsa you need to take Amrit after which you cannot follow any other faith.
@@nuvjotsingh can you please elaborate the difference?
You can google but let me clarify it. Khalsa is form which guru Govind created and make it distinct in the world and the persons will only pray to Akal Purakh Waheguru nothing else. Whereas sehajdhari sikhs which are mostly Sindhi sikhs who believe in guru Nanak, but don’t get baptized as Khalsa, They are still sikhs. Whosoever follows the ideology is a Sikh. In history there were muslims sikhs and Hindu sikhs which still has distinct identity amongst the Sikh religion.
Guru’s were inclusive and didn’t different that’s why they say I see no Hindu, no muslim. They both were same for them.
That’s why for sikhs there is no initiation ceremony as other religions has. Just you have to believe in 1 and read Gurbani, pray at gurudwara which depends upon on your devotion when ever have time get wisdom from Gurbani. You can get a Hindi Gutka from your nearby gurudwara.
I am in love with a wonderful man that happens to be a Sikh. I am not a Sikh, I do not have any religion. Can we get married as per the Sikhism rites?
Yes dear Sikhism is all about that no boundaries u can 🙏
Same here I am American and he was born in Punjab and is a full Sikh!
What about person with cut hair converting? Will he be keshdari? Can he take amrit?
Yes u can amritdhari keep ur hair dont cut n learn bit more abt it
I am also hindu i want to become sikh and take amrit plz help
Take Amrit from near by sikh temple called gurudwara sahib
wow thats a wondeful thought to have amrit and become a gursikh but I would say that you start out slowly start practising what its like to be an amritdhari like wake up at early morning start reading gurbani slowly If you know Punjabi that's brilliant but if no then start to read bani in language you know gurbani is transliterated into many languages just google it to find out start to grow your hair try to tie a turban the way u like there are various ways to tie use whichever you like and when you feel that's i am ready then enquire at your local gurdwara abt amrit sanchar and they will thoroughly guide you on this or you can watch basics of sikhi on youtube for any help.
ps: reply if possible
good luck!!!
Where we can ask questions to you sir
vadia veechar han
So if I get it right I am Hindu and Sikh but I am not sardar
And what about those that added on to their Spiritual being, becoming a Sikh of the Guru and later on for reasons left the Sat Sangat? Am I still a Sikh in your eyes?
Cosmic Fatty , That was nicely said, thank you.
That background music is so random.
We love sardar
The Guru has been calling me my whole life. Eventually I was led to Sikhi - not to Convert, to ADD MORE TRUTH. So... If I "DRESS" Sikh its more PRIDE that I KNOW, I'm there for all people as a Sikh, I will stand with the OPPRESSED - Like a SIKH (Additionally with an EAR to Sikh teling me information to help stay on the path) ... But I'm still a Non-trinity Christian... Like Nanak's Muslim buddy, I don't disown my scriptures, I added to them. As for others getting the wrong message from them - I can only help one person at a time. Like the Sikh Say to Christians: Pray to God, Worship God, become Lost in GOD and Spiritual things.. And FOLLOW Jesus Parables as they lead to salvation. I Add just a few things for the Abrahamics - in hope folks draw closer to GOD.
1: God told Moses, no man can see he face and yet live
2: Saint John, who knows Jesus better than you, wrote "No man hath seen God at any time"
3: Regarding Eternal Fire Torture: Jesus said, "Fear not the one who kills the body and not the soul, fear instead the one who is able to destroy both SOUL and BODY in Gehenna"
Gehenna is the Second Death, therefore it must be like the First. Psalms explains death quite plainly and matches the Sikh Grand Sahib:
"In that day, his body returneth to his earth, his breath (spirit) returns to God, and his thoughts indeed Perish" - Psalms - God's Word Describes DEATH TRUTHFULLY.
Sikh have one promise but it doesn't apply to the rest - the Rest have an opportunity to KEEP their IDENTITY and all they have to do is "LOVE GOD" and "LOVE EACHOTHER"
Resurrection is for Dead People. No ONE is in HELL on Fire in torture, NO NOT ONE. "The Wage of Sin is Death"
If YOUR GOD Exacts ETERNAL INTEREST when a WAGE has been PAID, perhaps your GOD is MOLECH, Not the GURU, YHWH, The Great Spirit, Jehovah, Waheguru, Almighty God.
God is LOVE, not eternal wages for FINITE SIN in any case. God's plan is to have a huge family reunion after the Wicked are evicted... Be part of that PARTY by Serving GOD so he can keep you close to his Bosom, and when he takes a few steps from you, he looks back and sees you catching up to be with him. If you are like this little humble sheep, he will guide you to salvation... not just because you want salvation, but from God's vantaqe - you are one of his CHILDREN.. Darn Right he wants you tagging along - and he doesn't mind if you wander a little - but keep your eyes on him at all times, so if he leads you another direction - you can run that direction and the whole time you do - he will rejoice in your loyalty despite whatever flaws you may be working on or need to.
So I'm a Christian Sikh - That is a Christian - SIKHING (Seeking) More Truth - and I found it - now I stand by the TENETS 100%, Bible 100%, and San Grand Sahib (Gurbani) - It's like hearing a Bible for the first time and each verse and/or stanza is loaded with wisdom applicable to all. It's Wonderful to see scripture not hacked up by dueling SCRIBES with questionable agenda - SIKH are a Light to the world I think... No ONLY RELIGION - but one of the more enlightened ones. There are others - but sometimes the more holy they are, they more they are hated so I'll leave it at that.
Praise Waheguru (GOD), Jesus does.
"All Praise goes to the FATHER of our Lord Jesus" - SAINT PAUL
"No Man hath every Seen God at any time" - Saint JOHN
"No Man can see my face and yet live" - YHWH - Jehovah - Waheguru - The Great Spirit - Said HIMSELF
Jesus isn't GOD... GOD is, and he is Jesus Father. Col 1:15-17, John 3:16
To Claim Jesus is GOD and Praise Jesus - you must deny Jehovah, Saint Paul, Saint John... and still taking Ciommunion as Called to HEaven? You know that taking it without permission from GOD is like a bullet to Jesus head, right? Don't say you weren't warned. God can forgive, if you stop perhaps, but biblically, its worse than murdering someone which is forgivable. Taking the WINE and BREAD without "CALLED TO HEAVEN 777' WRITTEN on your forehead is WRATH straight up worse than a HOMOSEXUAL dancing in a Pride Parade - trust that! Safer to be a SIKH and not touch it. Or like an American Indian Worshiping the Great Spirit... no touchy Holy Grail. That's like taking the fruit in the garden without GOD Saying YES first - Don't TRUST PEOPLE with such things! Trust GOD!
What is worthy? Read Matt 19:16 - The Rich man. Not SAINT MATERIAL, he was loved, loyal and due for a PALM BRANCH - The Meek Inherit the EARTH. Basically that is everyone who doesn't think they are a SAINT ORDAINED by GOD basically. the Real Ones go Up, the SAINT FRAUDS are Facing MORE Wrath when Jeus arrives than any sikh or anyone else really... Maybe the Illuminati folks... but... same BOAT. The fix? Stop praying to Jesus, Pray to his Father, and Stop drinking the WINE and eating the unleaven bread until CALLED by GOD.
See I wasn't CALLED BY GOD to the Sikh... The Bible told be - this religion - deserves a second look: Fruits of the spirit are the SECRET PASSCODE - When a group of people genuinely have all the fruits of the spirit... that's a SIGN from GOD they are tuned into him. You cqan't fake it, not long anyways.... I am an ORDAINED Sheepdog.. a Mutt really... but I can tell in any church: Saint, Palm Branch, or Treacherous waters... Easily.. any church.. or Temple or Mosque. Bible teaches us this rule of thumb, I'm not special. If you see fruits of the spirit... how are they doing with the 10 commandments - 9 out of 10 (sabbath not a thing for them, but a day of worship is often observed - Sundays to make it easier for folks) But Reincarnation? Nothing in the bible PREVENTS GOD from making a different promise to another bloodline if he Wants to. That's the part I'm aware of: A Sikh - might get resurrected or reincarnated depending when they die.. but in the end game - All are resurrected GOD wants to be at the family reunion that is in our furture: For Heaven's Sake - Get under God's WING in SOME house of God or with a determined mind and heart and your scripture.
If you have no GOD in your life - I recommend Sikh, unless you want to join the SAINT School Jehovah's Witnesses - but most aren't tough enough for following Jesus into the Ministry day after day, weekend after weekend... So if you don't like Preaching, you're probably not SAINT material anyways. There is another GREAT LOVE, willing to die for GOD or your fellow man like a Sikh. Sikh have that in spades... some preach additionally - but we can't all be heroes. Sikh is about peace, but when someone is doing evil against another, trying to assist the victim - It's what we Sikh do - whether by BLOOD or the Common bond we have with them :GOD, BLOOD, LIFE, HISTORY, HOPE for Eternal Life on Earth! (Some will go up - them seats are numbered).
No YHWH+LAMB on your forehead, get a palm branch - you didn't LOSE! YOU are still Winning!!!!
Revelations Chapter 7 - TWO FOLDS! Earth but some go up. Chances are, if you think you are going to heaven, and GOD didn't supernaturally BLOW YOUR MIND and SCARE you and FREAK you out - then you probably just THINK you are going to heaven: PRIDE KILLS. Taking it not called is like a shooting Jesus dead.Steal From God? Remember, there is no LAW against abstaining - but you face WRATH if you DARE take it. I didn't write the BIBLE: Read it!
King James deleted God's name 6000+ times and put in a few verses, yanked out the book of Jasher, and has put LORD in there instead 6000 times whilst saying Jesus is GOD?
Saint JOHN WARNED Molesting Scripture: Deleted YHWH 6000 times? OUCHY
New King James bibles 100% HALLOWED NAME FREE (Deleted YHWH, Made Jesus GOD) OUCH
New Gideon Bibles - found in hotels - 100% HALLOWED NAME FREE
Catholic ANYTHING ANYONE: The Vatican Voted YHWH and Yah-Weh too Jewish, but they stopped using Jehovah too... deleted it and even the Priests are instructed NOT TO SAY IT
Praying to Mary or Saints: Forbidden in the Bible as Necromancy
The Sins are stacked to the HEAVENS. GOD took care of the LEGAL Matter: We Stole Perfect Man, God gave one to us - we killed him. The Deal is done.
All Saved - providing the obey Love God, Love Neighbor... If you want to upgrade, read that Matthew 19:16 over and over until you see - that RICH MAN WAS and WILL BE Blessed, he just wasn't getting a THRONE. I'm not after a throne, I wouldn't even sheep dog except God scared me worse than demons the day after I prayed to him and told him I was bowing out of his big good versus evil merry-go-round - that was when after 46 years of worship and never hearing a word.... to an experience that was WAY beyond a Voice... in fact, all I will say, is if you're praying for God or an Angel to appear - I'm leaving. I can pray from half a mile away - I'm convinced he hears me just fine.
I decided I like the "LOW VOLTAGE" God and holyspirit hugs (pineal gland) then the HIGH VOLTAGE - "GUESS WHO?" I love him, I welcome him, my request to him for me - is - I already believe... please keep away from me Father. I Love you - stay over there. If you think this odd, then I know you weren't ORDAINED for heaven, I was told to sheep dog and he wasn't all friendly about who I am and how expendable I am and how easily he will crush me... etc.. Yall see harps and white robes - I didn't see anything.. but I thought I was going to DIE, heart in a vise, if you Love God, and Love Neighbor - seriously - JESUS will fly over you and concentrate on the EVIL when he comes again... I recommend everyone kiss the ground and hold the position when Jesus arrives.. Bend a Knee if you like, I'll kiss dirt until he says get up basically. Not judging you knee bender - I'm just more scared of God then ever before - and I think that's where more people need to be...
I asked GOD if I could pray with the Sikh, he said "You may pray with the Sikh" he didn't say "Become a SIKH, Convert, drop the gospel" so I am Christian and Sikh and Nanak would Smile.
