Can A Sikh Do Namaz?

[Soulfinder]

@samurai2 glad to share veer ji

[sarabatam]

My 2 cents:

Hell No!, I won't say much but Sikhi path is much superior path than islam, christianity, buddhism, hinduism, judaism? How do i know this? I tried to study them, everything goes back how superior sikhi and rips through other religions is Bhai gurdas ji says- sikhi is highway path and mukh bhagti , hirde gyan.

Based on my understanding, Lets see how much daily blessing Guru Nanak Dev Nirankar sikhi gives to sikh 

Japji sahib ensues Bhramgyan-  for example Bij mantar, maha mantar, mool mantar, sunan, manan , nidashasan pauri, aporakh , porakh gyan,  mahavaks, 5 khands

Jaap sahib- akaal ustati for example- jiv bhram ekta- achal morat anubhav parkash amitoj khijee, sada sachda anand

Tav Parsad swaie- Jin Prem kiyo tin hi prabh payeo

Chaupi sahib- protection of sikhi, sikh and panth

Anand sahib - Naam mehima and jiv mukhti anand bani

Rehras sahib- ustat of akaal purkh- sarab nirantar - Too(n) ghatt ghatt antar sarab nirantar jee har ayko purakh samaanaa

Kirtan sohila- eka jot updesh, superiority of Kalyug mein kirtan pardhana, kirtan preference over che gur - six ideology of sanatanic dharma

Then

More daily blessing

Mool mantar abhyas and Vahiguru mantar naam simran, das granthi gutka - beant banis

So much blessing and anand may dhur ki bani, sikh shouldn't have time to look anywhere else then top of free- seva and free langar, what else do you guys want?

@Soulfindernice findings.

@dalsingh101.. you have normally questioned sants bachans. So why all of a sudden you 'liking shit?'

Like without asking book reference questions?..what the deal man? 

 

This sant was a friend of my grandpa - so I guess I feel a more personal family connection to them? So maybe that is why I'm extra intrigued about them?

Fair play

I suppose when we look at the author of such praises of the infinite, we some what need to look at that persons actions and how they lived. 

Listening or repeating gods praises/works from other elevated human/jeevs etc is what most 'seekers' do... 

IMO seekers need to look at the actions of an individual and see if it is worth reciting their words (of expression) to get closer to 'god'..

Look at prophet Mohamed's actions and way of living, should one want to recite/listen to his praises of allah to get closer to.'god'??

Look at Baba Nanaks life,  would.you want to recite his word/s??

Look at Guru Arjuns life and his action, would you recite his words??

Gobind Singh Ji.. ?? You get the drift?..

So answer to the original question in my understanding is, do what the admin cut you want.

Real question is.. why would a 'sikh' do the namaz??

ਜਪਿ ਏਕੁ ਅਲਖ ਅਪਾਰ ਪੂਰਨ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨਾ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਈ ॥

Jap Eaek Alakh Apaar Pooran This Binaa Nehee Koee ||

Meditate on the One, Unseen, Infinite, Perfect Lord; there is no other than Him.

* In the verse above,  Guru Jee tells us to only meditate  on the one and only Lord Alakh Purukh/Akal Purukh/Waheguru.

 

ਭਾਇ ਭਗਤਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿ ਆਪਣੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵਾ ॥

Bhaae Bhagath Subhaae Har Jap Aapanae Prabh Bhaavaa ||

With loving devotional worship, I meditate intuitively on the Lord, and my God is pleased.

*And in this verse above, we come to understand, that whatever type of devotion we perform, it is done not for pleasing ourselves, nor the society,  but , for the only purpose of pleasing our beloved Waheguru, for by doing the devotional worship of meditating on Him,  as seen above in the words of Fifth Patshahee, it is then only,  when  He is pleased.

So no need for any other practices or namaaz, for in the devotional meditation on Him, we get there where He is, right within us . Any other practice  apart of meditating on Him keeps us outside and away from him, howsoever popular and historical could those practices be.

Bhakti as per Guru Sahiban in the verse below, is the only bhakti we ought to do.

ਬਿਨਵੰਤਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇਆ ਸਦਾ ਭਜੁ ਜਗਦੀਸਰੈ 

Binavanth Naanak Sathigur Dhrirraaeiaa Sadhaa Bhaj Jagadheesarai 

Prays Nanak, the True Guru has taught me this, to vibrate and meditate forever on the Lord of the Universe.
