  2. This kinda reminds me of what goes on in other sikh forum sites.
  3. The whole universe was created with the sound of Onkar, makes you wonder how it would sound.
  4. For english translations I can only give you a website, since im from UK. If anyone living in the states here would be so kind to help our brother here about local US book stores anything to do with Guru Granth Sahib or any other book related to Sikhism would be nice. Thanks in advance. But I turn you to SikhiToTheMax, just use the search facility to what you want to find out about Sikhi (Sikhi being the Punjabi word for Sikhism, Sikh means to learn).

  5. Well even Guru Ji called the enemy Nihangs. Im not saying Muslims were Guru Ji's enemy.
  6. Wow I never knew that native Americans wore Turbans! In old Indian times, the turban was a sign of kingship, where only kings used to wear turban's. In Sikhism the idea of a Turban is to protect our hair, most sikhs believe its an identity for them to wear a turban. Most Sikhs from Kenya-Africa wear Kenyan style turban's. Ive even seen a Sikh wear a Burberry turban, yes that fashion lable. Check out the link: http://www.chavscum.co.uk/4images/details....ge_id=4663& The Kirpan itself has to be double edge though. Check this weblink out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirpan Well we do have a straight sword as well, its called the Khunda, there are also more, check out the link: http://www.sikhworld.co.uk/page17.html After being bapisted your meant to refrain from cutting hair (head to toe) and wear all 5 symbols which are, Kesh, Kanga, Kara, Kacha, Kirpan which are to be worn by a Amrithderhi Sikh (bapisted Sikh). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Five_Ks If you would like to know more about sikhism, check out the following links, theses are the sites which I still visit. All About Sikhs http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/ theSikhNetwork http://www.sikhnet.com/ Ive tried my best to answer your questions, Im sure if you stay on with Sikhawarness.com you can get answers from others. Guru Ji says its important to keep a Good Congregation, Sat Sangat (True Congregation). We're always sharing our experiences here. Your more then welcome to stay. But if you want to learn Sikhism undistorted, go to the source, Guru Granth Sahib.
  7. Sikhs are not restricted in adopting different cultures, but a Sikh shouldnt forget their code of conduct. Most Sikhs I know wear urban clothes. Below is a Singh wearing a Scotish Tartan. And in scotland there is a tartan called the "Singh Tartan". If you would like to read more check this weblink out: http://www.sikhspectrum.com/122002/tartan_scot.htm
  8. Woww. That was good man, makes me wanna recite Jap Ji Sahib and Jap Sahib. Ive met both of these guys before, friendly guys.
  9. Well the enemy is also described as being Nihang, There are many meanings for the word Nihang as well. Well for the first time ive got proof for you. "Nirbhao Hoyeyo, Bhaya Nihanga. " "Being fearless, he becomes unrestrained". http://www.amritworld.com/nihangs/in_gurugranth.html "Paihlaan Dalaan Milandiyaan Bherh Pya Nihangaan." "First, when armies approached each other, there was fighting of 'Nihangs'" "Januk Lahar Dariyaav Te Niksyo Bado Nihang." "As if a crocodile had emerged from the sea". http://www.amritworld.com/nihangs/in_dasamgranth.html I wouldnt post anything on this site without thinking of its trueness. The things in which I post are not made up. Ever seen that film Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith? Darth Sidious says, "Good is a point of View". I know this might be only a film, but it makes sence as well. A Nihang can be the bold enemy or the bold friend much like anyone.
  10. You couldnt be more right. But the word Nihang means without attachment or without fear. Any Sikh can be nihang. The word Nihang is in Aad Guru Granth Sahib.
  11. Im starting to think that the Nihang Sikhs have a better idea of what Guru is, they think that shabad is Guru (Aad Guru Granth sahib, Dasam Guru Granth sahib and Sarbloh Guru Granth sahib), this is why keeping respect for gutkay are even important. They also think that the Shaster is Guru (Kaal) as well, because of the power of the Shaster.
  12. Ok now I never told anyone to believe in this. Ive never told anyone to dance with kirtan, I dont know if your trying to make me look bad now but ive never said anything about kirtan. I think this topic has been taken out of context, totally. I dont share the same views as you. But in the old days Guru Ji went to drunk people to tell them about the truth, and to take out of their personal hell, and Guru Ji never said dont come near to him. But of course we have to respect Shabad Guru. Guru Ji reached out to people, Guru Ji given a hem so that they could follow. I fate this propaganda, and its got nothing to do with sikhism. Those people in that video fell victim to this propaganda. Theses types of videos are only spreading more and more hate. They have useds this video out of context. And us Sikhs ourselves are killing ourselves. And I would also read some of the comments which people have said. I used to love listening to this whole Khalistani thing before, I used to get soo fired up and angry just looking at hindus and muslims and who ever is non-sikh because i thought i was different. But I was getting more and more angry, saying why is it like this?! Guru Ji was right, there is no hindu no musalman. People call themselves Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, Christain or what ever, but they are all followers of God. I believe Guru ji used the words Hindu and Muslim as one thing, but Guru Ji said that all have lost the true path, which was Naam Jaapan. Firstly of all Sikhs dont believe in Idol worship, secondly we believe in One God. If people wish to follow a human guru then fine, why are you burning up? Sikhs are being converted to many other Religions its all God's Play. Please forgive me if im wrong.
  13. Well ive been doing Shaster Vidiya and yes the kara is a Shaster much like the Kirpan and the Chakkar and are used on the battlefield.
  14. The rakhie is not a spritual string. The string given to the Guru from the Brahman was made so that he was made acceptable by God in his view. This is why Guru Ji said that the string will not go with you when you die, only the compassion in the heart for God will go with you. Why do you wear a Kara? What use is it if you dont get spritiual gain? You know the purpose of it?
  15. I think this is why Guru Ji said that God is everywhere and not just in the direction of the Kaaba.
  16. The Gurus' wasnt trapped by culture? Why you think that Guru Ji tied a rakhie for his sister? I believe Guru Ji was the most cultured. Guru Ji wasnt trapped by a limited mind.
  17. Well there you go, God is in all, "Whithersoever ye turn, there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is all-Pervading, all-Knowing". Where ever you turn the presence of God is there. For God is all-present, all-knowing. The word Pervading means to be present throughout.
  18. I heard a story during the time of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, where the Singhs or Guru Ji finished one batttle? And the Singhs felt like celebrating, they felted like dancing, they asked Guru Ji if they could dance, Guru Ji said dance then. But the Singhs were a bit shy. So then Guru Ji said put a curtain around him? If anyone can give us this sakhi, would be nice, because this story is from memory and might be wrong? Cheers.
  19. Not sacred, but they think of pigs as being filthy. But yeah you are right underwise.
  20. That was the best I could come up with. Im sure there's someone here that understand this more?
