In simple terms, Allah and Waheguru are both names of the Almighty God (the ONE universal creator).
We respect the Hindu Demi-Gods, but we are not suppose to worship them.

Welcome to the Forum sis.
Feel free to ask questions.
Thanks

All people are welcome on Sikh forums, welcome to visit gurdwaras and equally welcome to read gurbani and receive unconditional blessings from the limitless ocean of treasures.
One out of millions are those souls blessed with enlightenment of realising true purpose of their human life as an opportunity to merge back with the Lord.
To compare one religion with another is like comparing features of different cars where our real purpose was to simply reach the far destination through use of a vehicle.
The point of a religion was only to teach you to live as a good citizen in this world, as a bonus it should teach you spirituality. All religions today have lost spirituality, except for Sikhi which has it but 99.9% of today ‘Sikhs’ haven’t got a clue.
Just as the student shouldn’t attempt to explore the origin, extent or limit of their teacher. The good student receives the teaching and puts it to practice through hard work. Gurbani talks repeatedly of ‘Satguru’ meaning true teacher, without who nothing is possible. 
In the darkest time of Kalyug where all are blind, Guru Nanak Ji are the true Guru (teacher) who enlighten us to our biggest question - ‘who am I?’
Guru Nanak Ji’s main teaching is man tu jot saroop hai apnaa mool paichan - mind you are a soul recognise your true self. 
The vehicle/method Guru Ji gave for this is Gur-Shabad (word of the Guru) with encouragement to attach our Surat (mental state of being/awareness) with the Shabad.
Everything including body remains here when death comes and our soul leaves naked. So the direct liberation path Guru Nanak Ji gave is through meditating on Shabad ‘detach’ our awareness from body completely and ‘attach’ with shabad. 
With due time the Guru’s shabad will even liberate a soul before their time of death arrives. This is called jeevan mukhti.
This is a lifelong journey which Guru Nanak Ji encouraged us to practice while living a householder life. Many Sikhs and sources can tell you about Sikh way of life. But the most incredible inward journey - really only one out of millions witnesses purely on blessings of almighty God. Such people live hidden completely though. 
Words can’t do justice what Guru Nanak Ji gave or who they are. Incredibly lucky readers will understand because they have experienced it themselves. 

hello,
Thank you ji, 
But does that mean you do not believe in one God if you say he is in human form? 
See, I asked some sikhs about their beliefs and one said they believe in Allah, waheguru and all Hindu Gods. 
Whereas another said they only believe in one God.
So im reading this for the first time..
I'm a Shia muslim, so I noticed some similarities between sikhism and us hence why I wish to do more research on Sikhism.
I also wish to read the Guru Granth Sahib to know more in detail only I can't read the Gurmukhi script as I am pakistani/kashmiri lol
I hope I am welcome on this forum, It is purely to learn and seek knowledge. Not bash or disrespect Sikhism. This is especially for the mods lol.
My husband was understanding of my quest to learn more knowledge which is both soothing and  a huge happiness for me.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh. 
ps I also though Waheguru literally meant one God as the literal translation is "The pure ones belong to God, victory belongs to God.
Many thanks,

Yes it's true because Guru Nanak dev ji themselves were god in human form.
The  gurmantar waheguru is something guru nanak dev ji gave us.
Guru Ji spent many ages doing recitation on WA and then more ages on HE and GU RU.
Even Rishi Muni (Great sages) had said that there will be a mantra which will liberate lost souls in Kaljug.
His followers had asked why can't you just give us this mantar he said I do not have permission to give it only Guru Nanak can.
The reason Guru Nanak Dev ji came on this earth was to liberate lost souls and lower the weight of sins on this world. Because avatars such as Krishan Ji had failed to liberate lost souls because they had got stuck in ego.
Guru Nanak dev ji was the only one who had people do devotion of waheguru not his name.
I hope this helps.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
 
 

Thank you. I have a question, My husband says you say waheguru to Guru Nanak Dev  Ji. But I say that's not true. 
 
Please clarify...

Sats Sri Akal Brother. Its really good that you wish to learn more about the Sikh Religion.
 
Here is a video by the Late Bhai Jugraj Singh Ji from Basics Of Sikhi who has made many videos on this question with answers.
 
 

Say Sri Akal,
hello all, I hope you are all well. I have some questions and wanted to do some research on Sikhism. 
I am hoping to go to a Gurdwara soon so I can talk to someone in person.
But in the meanwhile, I wanted to know the following things.
 
When did Sikhism start?
how did it begin?
Some more information on Guru Nanak Dev ji would be useful.
Thank you.
 
 

I've heard you guys don't believe in dreams/dream meanings. But you gotta read this one.
I had a dream many years ago that I went into a Gurdwara and Guru Nanak Dev ji was there. He looked at me and said "tussi ethe ki kareyo?" I said "respect ich"
 
He said welcome..
Can you believe it? makes me smile every time at the thought of it.
I called my nearby Gurdwara and expressed my wish to learn more. I told Sardar ji the dream. He was so shocked and kept saying waheguru.

Yup the history of indigenous people is very very sad. They are still suffering the effects upto this day. The first nation,inuit and metis people have the highest rates of depression, suicide, drug addiction etc, almost6-10 times compared to canadian folks. European colonizers have fucked up a lot, all over World.  Indigenous culture was basically wiped out. 

@Arsh1469  Thank you very much, Very simple explanation in plain English.
 Just noticed that you have read the explanation in Punjabi and translated in English here. Thank You
Look forward for the next post. 

Here are the PDFs of Larivaar Pothi and Larivaar Santhiya Pothi published by World Sikh Parliament. Research done by Bhai Amanjot Singh UK on handwritten puratan saroops of Guru Sahib. These were published on the occasion of 400th Gurupurab of Dhan Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur sahib ji.
These contain all the baani of 9th Guru Sahib with correct spellings of Gurbani words according to puratan saroops.

Daas is pasting links of blogs by Bhai Manvir Singh UK who has done research on Mangals of bani. These blogs are related to the position of mangals in Gurbani, the mistakes which I highlighted in my first post under 'Example of Inaccuracy'.

Here are mistakes that dass found with Shastar Naam Mala

Thanks Bhai sahib for motivating me. I also heard from gursikhs that as we deep dive into understanding bani, the more we go in, the more we explore those never-heard-before areas. First, Gurbani is Agaadh Bodh. Second, bani also reduces our pride. As we read bani, we consider ourself more nikamma and moorakh and become more of a SIKH, that we don't know anything, it is only Satguru Ji who can bless us. Vaheguru!
 
Bhai sahib, this is not a new issue. Even Mahakavi Bhai Santokh Singh Ji talks about this. I respect your opinions that Raagmaala is bani. However, one is influenced a lot by sangat. I am very much influenced by Gurmat Bibek Gursikhs/Tapoban Sahib Gursikhs or you can say AKJ gursikhs. I have also done research on Raagmala to know the points of people against and in favour of Raagmala. As we are the one left with choice to read it or not, I don't read it. Somehow, I found AKJ opinion more logical and in line with Gurmat. Anyways, main point is that we can't conclude on an online platform if it's bani or not. We have Brahmgyani and Mahaan scholars on both sides. Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji and all AKJ Mahapurakhs, Vidya Martand Pandit Kartar Singh Daakha, Joginder Singh Talwara Ji  were against it and Taksaal, Nanaksar and majority Panth is in favour. However, instead of looking at the difference in opinion we must also look at the love between puratan AKJ and Taksal gursikhs. Sant Gurbachan Singh Ji called Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji a Sant. Sant Kartar Singh Ji would himself serve Langar to Bhai Sahib Jeevan Singh Ji. Baba Harnaam Singh Ji Rampur Khera attended the bhog of sehaj Paath despite knowing bhog would be at mundawni. Sant Jarnail Singh Ji would shower love on Babbar Khalsa Jodhe and Shaheed Bhai Fauja Singh Ji. In 1978, gursikhs of both sides gave shaheedi to protect the honour of their guru.
It's better not to touch these sensitive topics or else we all will be labelling each other as Kurehtis and Tankhaiye. 
Bhai Sahib, when did I say I want to become Bhai Pinderpal Singh Ji? Only virle gursikhs can have so much dedication and knowledge about Gurmat. It's my bad that I didn't elaborate. I didn't mean that everyone should leave their work and start doing khoj. I meant to say that we need to do research on Gurbani. We need to inspire others to make efforts to understand bani. Those people who actually have the chaah to become kirtanis and parcharaks and do panthic Sewa, the panth will take care of their household needs through Daswandh. And we should also start with our own family and inspire them to explore this anmol khazaana. Only if we encourage our friends and family to do gurmat deeds, even then it is great panthic Sewa. Main Point is naam japna, Kamaayi karni and doing Sewa of Panth as much as we can. Starting online Santhiya and gurmat vichar classes and using technology to reach mass sangat will also benefit a lot. Contributing to the vichar in this thread will also be a great Sewa by gursikhs.
May Guru sahib do kirpa and bless his beloved gursikhs to do Sewa and Simran and do mass parchaar of Sikhi.

@Trimandeep Singh I love your enthusiasm. You are energetic and using your time in a productive manner. Keep it up!
With time, and more experience you will realize the uncertainties in life, the grey areas, and the more you experience, the more you will know that you don't know anything. Atleast that was the case for me. But Keep it up!
Now onto some points you made. 
This is a bigger issue that needs to be addressed first. If you don't read complete bani at Akal Takht , how does one expect a chardikala to happen? I hope the conclusion you are referring to is that Ragmala is Baani. 
 
How do you propose to do that ? Let's say you want to become Bhai Pinderpal Singh. How would do you do that ? Let's not talk about producing others, let's talk about transforming ourselves. In order to do correct parchar, one needs to have practical experience of Gurbani.  Mahapurush who did great prachar were all great Naam Abhiyasis and Kamai vale. Naam Abhiyaas comes first, then parchar is a duty given by Akal Purakh Ji. If there is Kamai, only then the parchar will pierce into the hearts.  for example, the kathavachacks from Damdamil Taksal during Sant Gurbachan Singh Ji's time were advised to have completed 36 Lakh mala of Moolmantra or 20-25000 Waheguru Japa everyday.

Sangat Ji, today I attended the second last class of Tav Prasad Saviyye Santhiya and here I would like to aware you of popular mistakes in gutke and Gurbani apps.
*********************************
2nd  Saviyya
ਏਤੇ ਭਏ ਤੁ ਕਹਾ ਭਏ ਭੂਪਤਿ ਅੰਤ ਕੋ ਨਾਂਗੇ ਹੀ ਪਾਂਇ ਪਧਾਰੇ॥੨॥੨੨॥
In many gutke, ਭੂਪਤਿ is written as ਭੂਪਤ which is misprint.
3rd Saviyya 
ਗੁੰਜਤ ਗੂੜ ਗਜਾਨ ਕੇ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਹਿੰਸਤ ਹੈਂ ਹਯਰਾਜ ਹਜਾਰੇ॥ 
In many gutke, ਹੈਂ is written as ਹੀ which is misprint.
In 4th Saviyya 
ਤੀਰਥ ਨਾਨ ਦਇਆ ਦਮ ਦਾਨ ਸੁ ਸੰਜਮ ਨੇਮ ਅਨੇਕ ਬਿਸੇਖੈ॥
ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਕਤੇਬ ਕੁਰਾਨ ਜਮੀਨ ਜਮਾਨ ਸਬਾਨ ਕੇ ਪੇਖੈ॥
ਪਉਨ ਅਹਾਰ ਜਤੀ ਜਤ ਧਾਰ ਸਬੈ ਸੁ ਬਿਚਾਰ ਹਜਾਰਕ ਦੇਖੈ॥
ਸ੍ਰੀ ਭਗਵਾਨ ਭਜੇ ਬਿਨੁ ਭੂਪਤਿ ਏਕ ਰਤੀ ਬਿਨੁ ਏਕ ਨ ਲੇਖੈ॥੪॥੨੪॥
Notice the last word in all panktis have Dulaavan on ਖ, that is, ਖੈ. However, in first three panktis the correct spellings of the last words are ਬਿਸੇਖੇ, ਪੇਖੇ, ਦੇਖੇ and the ਲੇਖੈ in last pankti is to read as it is only. ਲੇਖੈ is already correct.
In 6th Saviyya 
ਗਾੜ੍ਹੇ ਗੜ੍ਹਾਨ ਕੇ ਤੋੜਨਹਾਰ ਸੁ ਬਾਤਨ ਹੀਂ ਚਕ ਚਾਰ ਲਵੱਯਾ॥
In many gutke, ਕੇ is written as ਕੋ which is misprint.
In 8th Saviyya 
ਕੋਟਿ ਇਸਨਾਨ ਗਜਾਦਿਕ ਦਾਨ ਅਨੇਕ ਸੁ ਅੰਬਰ ਸਾਜ ਬਰੈਂਗੇ॥
In many gutke, ਇਸਨਾਨ is written as ਸਨਾਨ which is misprint.
In 9th Saviyya 
ਸਾਚੁ ਕਹੋਂ ਸੁਨ ਲੇਹੁ ਸਭੈ ਜਿਨ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਕੀਓ ਤਿਨ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਇਓ ॥੯॥੨੯॥
In many gutke, ਕਹੋਂ is written as ਕਹੌਂ which is misprint 
**********************************
Everything above is based on research of puratan handwritten saroops by Ex Akaal Takht Jathedar Late Singh Sahib Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti Ji. 
Daas will keep on posting on this thread as I come to know about these printing mistakes. I again request all sangat to contribute to this thread. You can write the panktis or words which you found differently written/printed in gutka sahib or Gurbani apps and sangat here can do vichar or I can ask Giani Jee. Daas is 100% sure that if sangat enthusiastically contributes to this thread, the benefit that the readers will get will be ਅਤੁਲ (immeasurable).
I expect @Soulfinder @Ragmaala @paapiman @sevak @chatanga1 @sarabatam@Samarbir Singh @Jageera @GurjantGnostic @WaheguruDaGulam  @ragnarok  @Noobhere @PCSJZ etc who read bani and who I have talked to on this forum to contribute in this thread.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Daas wants to forward some really useful information to sangat on this forum.
MISTAKES IN GUTKE AND GURBANI APPS:
Those people who listen to Nitnem Paath from different paathis on YouTube like Taksaal, Nanaksar, AKJ, or those who have read bani from different Pothis or Gurbani apps must have noted that there are some (sometimes many) differerences in their uchaaran (audio) and in spellings of different words and the position of mangals and sirlekhs.
Today,the reason for so many inaccuracies in gutke and Gurbani apps are the selfish motives of the Gurbani press and SGPC and ignorance of panthic jathebandis. To earn profits, they just keep on printing gutke and senchis without doing any research. 
Back then, a great Panthic Scholar Daarji Joginder Singh Talwara Ji was appointed by the panth to do research on puratan saroops of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Pothi sahibs to reduce the differences in saroops. He researched for more than 3 decades and came up with his excellent works which were really ahead of his time.
Daas will give an example in the end.
SANTHIYA AND VICHAR:
Due to the request of UK Sangat, Ex Akaal Takht Jathedar Late Singh Sahib Joginder Singh Vedanti (who was a student of Taksaal and later Talwara Ji) started a Sangat Santhiya class to teach Santhiya and aware sangat of the correct spellings according to puratan handwritten saroops. Daas has joined the Santhiya classes and they are very useful. Currently, our teacher is Bhai Surjit Singh Sabhra, head Granthi of Gurudwara Ber Sahib and we are doing Santhiya of Sri Tav Prasad Saviyye. Very knowledgeable gursikhs also attend the class and come up with views of different scholars on uchaaran and spellings of words like Talwara Ji, Vedanti Ji, Taksaal, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha etc and with sangati vichar, we are able to make our uchaaran more shudh and read words according to Puratan Saroop spellings. If you wish to join, here is the link

Timings of the class:
Saturday and Sunday 
1:00-2:00 pm UK
5:30-6:30 pm India

EXAMPLE OF INACCURACY:
SRI JAAP SAHIB:
If we ask 3 people that how do they start Sri Jaap Sahib, one will say
1. ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ॥   ॥ ਜਾਪੁ ॥ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖਵਾਕ ਪਾਤਿਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦॥
2. ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ॥ ਜਾਪੁ ॥ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖਵਾਕ ਪਾਤਿਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦॥
Which one is correct? 
According to the pictures of handwritten puratan saroops given below, the FIRST ONE is correct.

SRI ANAND SAHIB:
There's a prachalit version of Mangal of Anand Sahib.
‘ਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ਅਨੰਦੁ’ appears before ‘ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ’
However, according to puratan handwritten saroops, the manglacharan is 
‘ਰਾਗੁ ਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ਅਨੰਦੁ’ appears after ‘ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ’
HOWEVER, After 1735, the handwritten saroops didn't have ਰਾਗੁ in their manglacharan. Their manglacharan was reverse of current manglacharan- 
‘ਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ਅਨੰਦੁ’ appears after ‘ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ’

CONCLUSION:
 Many inaccuracies like these are discussed by sangat along with Santhiya vichar. Daas requests sangat here to take out just 2 hours of the week and contribute to the vichar in the class. This will benefit many. Yesterday, we pointed out 2 mistakes in SGPC Gutka and Head Granthi Sahib (Bhai Surjit Singh Sabhra) said that he will approach SGPC authorities today and make them aware of the mistakes. By contributing to the vichar, we can help ourselves as well as the concerned Sikhs.

Really good information about Bramh Kavach and other dasam banis

Wjkk wjkf veer ji. Dass has been in similar situation as you in the past and can say its not nice what was happening especially getting negative thoughts and using curse language is not good either.
 
A good way would be to do ardas to Guru Sahib Ji. Second try to stay in your bedroom (hoping that no is sharing with you) and see how that goes as you can remain gupt when trying to do simran paath etc.

Hello Gurmukh Jio recently since my family said I can’t jaap naam sitting down on the weekdays during school, my maan has been really messed up. I have so many furne and it’s making me panic, because on the weekends they don’t say anything and I am able to do 3 hour jaap sitting down(1:30 morning and 1:30 hour before rehraas sahib). And my mind is so calm practically no furne on the weekends because of the jaap and on the weekdays most I can do 30 mins japp secretly sitting down. But because of this problem I am beginning to curse a lot like I used to, and I don’t want this to happen, but for no reason they just come out my mouth. I am also around kids my age who you know talk about stuff that we shouldn’t and because of that it’s messing me up to. Sorry for the rant but I just needed to get somethings off my chest because I think of you guys as my real family, because I can’t talk to my family about spirituality, it’d just freak them out. So, should I start listening to more Kirtan and normal Gurbani katha instead akath  katha all the time? I just want these waves of furne to stop, and for me to progress in my spirituality not go backwards. So what can be done to stop cursing and speak nice words.

Naam Gurbani Kirtan is the solution, protection, panacea.
