In Order To Attract More Non-sikhs To Sikhism, Sikhs Will Have To Modernize

[HSD*^]

cutting our hair is the stupidest idea ever. it wouldnt spread the message of sikhism, it would just show others how we contradict our faith so easily, just like people of other religions do. if we want to spread the message of sikhi, lets start translating the message of the gurus so that everyone can share in it. before anyone accuses me of convert hunting, let me remind you of what our third guru did, and how he helped many of our ancestors into sikhism.

[Dukh Nivaran]

During Christian Missionaries only 400 Sikhs were left

If Sikhism is ever to spread beyond the 20 million Punjabis who are Sikhs then Sikhism will have to change dramatically. For example, the discarding of the archaic beard and turban will be a major step in marketing the Sikh faith. Since the vast majority of people around the world (including Sikhs) do not wear beards and turbans Sikhism will be in a great spot to get rid of them permanently. Besides, why would anyone interested in becoming a Sikh want to wear them anyway??????? :rolleyes:

....in other words become Hindus again. At one point only 8,000 of us were left :gatka-singhni:

Raaj Karega Khalsa

[khalistan_zindabaad]

In order to attract people to sikhi, we need to follow what our guru sahibs tought, then the whole world we be sikh.

Kirat karni

Naam Japna

Vandh ke Shakna

Where is all the humility, caring, love, humbleness that sikhs are meant to have.

To the topic starter a pangti can be said.

Koi virla gurmat khaleh jeo.

We dont want numbers, dont need them, 1 Khalsa can counter for 125.000 others. But becoming that khalsa is the main and only objective.

Correct me if im wrong, but didnt 40 sikhs fight 1000000 - its written in the zafarnamah.

khalsa is unique. We are in kaljug.

To the topic starter: Whats your IQ?

There was a time in the 18th century when on A VAISAKHI, there were only 65 KHALSA SINGHS ATTENDING SRI HARMANDAR SAHIB !!!

[Harsimrat Singh]

Is this topic a joke?

Very good question! :gg:

[Harjeet.Singh]

Modernise Sikhi, more like mordernise the world. We are fine, the rest of the world got to catch up with us :D

All I would say is :

Jo Tau Prem Khelan Ka Chao

Seer Dhar Tali Gali Meri Aao..........

If you desire to play this game of love with Me,

Then step onto My Path WITH YouR HEAD IN HAND

Let me add to the list peacemaker cobra commander punjabi_link and now this infidel

"As for the infidels do not reckon with them. It is better to be broken (from them). Indeed, their punishment will be severe in the hereafter"

By infidel i mean saakat pursh not a kaffir

Khalsa Akaal Purkh Ki Fauj

Pragateo Khalsa Parmaatam Ki Mauj.

Modernising means NOTHING. Living in the hukam of Akaal Purkh does...
