  1. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh I am a 31 year old white male living north of Houston, TX with my wife and two young children. I recently became aware of Sikhi, and found an immediate and intense resonance with the words of the guru. I have been watching numerous videos from BoS and NanakNaam, and recently began reading Max Arthur Macauliffe's The Sikh Religion. While reading, I came across a passage that, frankly, upset me. I had been working under the impression that in Sikhi there is no literal hell, yet in this book Macauliffe suggests that not only might that notion be wrong, but that Guru Nanak Dev Ji has even said that "the hindus are going to hell". Maybe it's my being raised in the christian church, but that seems like quite a statement. The way I see it there are four options. 1 - I'm wrong and sikhs do believe in hell. 2 - Guru Nanak is referring to a maya-based hell on earth. 3 - The Guru changes this philosophy later, and had I kept reading I would've come to that part. 4 - This isn't a very good book about Sikhi. I look forward to using this community to deepen my understanding of the guru, and finally find some sangat.
