err who are you to decide who is worthy of sikhi ?

...

Those who are being brought to sikhi is through Waheguru ji's hukham ...accept it

Jasbir Kaur Vilashca? You do not sound like a Amritdhari Gursikh at all.

Not everyone because not everything is Hukam. If Wahehguru is without fear and hate then why there is so war and poverty in the world? Is the answer not misused free will of man and woman?

I know my opinion and outlook will be lost on some of you but I prefer to call it as I see it and I do not like PC. I have seen these converts that masquerade as 'Sikhs' as if it is the latest craze but I am wise to their lies and I can see right trough them. These idiots do not fool me. Sikhi is not a game. Don't believe me? Google '3HO fake Sikh white cult'.

By the way, I accept only what is written in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, not what a nobody tells me over the internet.

You maybe  HP in disguise of a Sikh

I read somewhere on another forum once that Guru Nanak dev ji once said if you live and spread the goodness of sikhi you will be saved in the after life with the lords grace.

The internet is full of lies. How do you know whether stories like these are created or exaggerated just to emphasise a point? Should a Sikh not refer only to Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji for the truth, not a Sikh forum?

Now I am maybe a Hindu in the eyes of people like you and others on this forum because you all do not agree with what I said? How do I know all of you are are Sikhs. You could all be Hindus.

Note to Mods: delete this racist nonsense. We got a million problems and we don't want racism to influence the lost people within our Panth. To be honest when this guy in the video mentioned that nobody considering him a Sikh, I honestly noticed the dumalla before his skin color, (a turban is more visible than the skin color if you ask me).

What racism? Are you only saying that because he is black? If he was white then my opinion would remain the same, as mentioned in the OP if you read it properly. Have you not heard of 3HO? I see the same with Punjabis too. Some turn to Sikhi but how many of them are truly and purely Sikh? Not all Punjabis are Sikhs and not all Sikhs are Sikhs. Is that racism too?

I have seen and heard people like you who love to accuse someone of it when a different skin colour is present before making yourself look good by saying you noticed the colour of his turban first. As if I am going to fall for that bakvaas. Do you have your own mind or do you just follow the crowd?

Are these people only idiots because their opinion is different from your opinion? Ask yourself who is the real idiots here.

I am entitled to post here just as much as you and I will continue to do so, unfortunately for you and your forum buddies, because I am on the path of Sikhi and I care about the problems against it.

I don't endorse racism, but if you want to find my biggest chance of racism I recommend this thread: 

I don't like black people, or white people, or Hispanics, or Orientals, or Subcontinentals. I can be referenced from a previous thread that I don't like labels. Honestly I wasn't lying when I noticed the dumalla before his skin color; if he had an accent he could claim he's some dark-skinned Subcontinental for all I care.

Why do you keep using another users (?) real name? for someone that's harping on about being so wise you seem to think internet safety is a really funny thing.

oh and another thing since you seem to be oh so wise about Sikhism.

To finish on the OP, what I also do not understand and what really annoys me is why outsiders use the names of the Gurus i.e. 'Tegh' or the Chaar Sahibzaade etc. It displays pretentiousness and ego as well as a clear lack of respect and understanding of their legacy.

"outsiders" lmao, So please tell me how your entire family all came from Sikhs. How right down to the first cells they were always Sikh, fun fact for you the use of these names was never exclusively for the Sahibzadhe. At one time in your family's life you were outsiders, its ironic the person you're spewing so much hatred for probably felt love and respect for Gurbani you have yet to experience. Want to know an even funnier story, people who cried and were touched by Gurbani include Bhai Lehna Ji and Bhai Amardas Ji. Where did they end up? oh yes on the Gurgaddi. Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji also felt touched by Gurbani and this was all on the first meeting/hearing of Gurbani. None of them had the "knowledge" you keep harping on about and all of them ended up being Brahmgyanis and in the case of Bhai Lehna Ji and Bhai Amardas Ji, became Satguru Nanak. So please tell me more about how its impossible to be touched by all this Gurbani. All you've done so far is shown you don't have the same knowledge you want others to have and haven't made the smallest attempt to go and learn about it.

Japji sahib not your thing huh? the reason why wars,people starve, predjudice,  happen is Human egoes drunk on maya and let loose with the 5 chor running the show . I don't think even free will is a factor any more it is purely animalistic. See what Guru ji is saving you from ...

I think struggling to be accepted as a sikh for over 8 years eliminates that argument as despite blatant to the face racism and slurs they both perservered . They have zero to do with 3HO so that's not even a factor here.

this couple I had heard about in a gupt form in 2 other katha vichar videos by two seperate Parchaariks who witnessed/took  the gurvaak  at the camp that inspired them to come home to sikhi . The fact escapes you that it was a HUKHAM directly by Guru ji for them to become full sikhs (I suspect you didn't watch the full video)

Fair enough but you have now confused me.

You say my post is racist and that you don't endorse racism, yet you call white people 'crackers' and then say you don't like blacks, whites, Hispanics, Orientals or subcontinentals. That makes you a hypocrite.

However, I agree with what you and some others said in the quoted thread. I think of white people i.e. Anglos, as the devil. Once they see something they like, they feel it belongs to them and they must have it. The fact is they are shameless thieves. They have even began to delude themselves that they created it. One example is British Museums possessing many Sikh artifacts as well as the Koh-i-noor diamond. Another is Americans trying to copyright Yoga. Can you believe that?

Theft aside, I hold them responsible for much of the evil in the world today. They say: "Where the white man goes, evil follows". I believe it to be true.

3HO are nothing more than a farcical cult who have been brainwashed by a corrupt yogi and distorted Sikhi to an extent that is not Sikhi at all. These jokers masquerade as Sikhs and pretend to act holy and pure. In reality, they dance on Gurbani and to Bhangra, practice Hindu rituals and conduct same-sex marriages. They even display images of the Gurus with Christianity. As I'm sure you and many others on this forum know, that is just the tip of the iceberg. They are weird and beyond help. 3HO are not Sikh.

Tell me what each word means and explain it, without referencing the Sri Guru Granth Sahib online? You posted neither a translation nor discussion of it so I assume you already know it and can do this with ease.

My point about names was that outsiders... sorry my PC friend, I mean 'non-Punjabi's should respect and understand the meaning of them. What would be your reaction if you met a non-Punjabi Sikh one day and asked their name and they said 'Gobind Singh', 'Bibi Bhani' or 'Guru Nanak Singh'? You may laugh at this but you should understand that is being misused for personal greed and benefit with no understanding it. How many people take Amrit yet don't change their bad habits? I think it is only a matter of time. Would you find it funny and say 'lmao'? After all, we do live in Kaljug, which is, also, referenced in numerous shabads. Could you post, translate and discuss them too, without external reference?

Finally, what on earth are you talking about when you say I "keep using the real name of another person"? Where have I done that? Who else is called "GuestSingh" here? I was not aware that was a real name but where have I kept using it? This is my first profile on this forum.

I didn't watch the full video and I don't intend to do so either because I do not care about their story, in the same way the wife does not seem to care about her heritage and forgetting where she comes from. I wonder if she would still have married him if neither practiced Sikhi? I will never know.

Is free will not just a misused attachment of the 5 chor? By misuse I mean, channeling kaam into pyaar for others, krodh into bir rass, lobh to langar, moh to love for Waheguru and Ego to Seva. After all, no person can have both them and a connection to Waheguru.

I know the 5 thieves are different and the opposite of Sikhi principles but a comparison shows me some similarity.

Yes the four castes refer to the four classes of Hindu society: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras, not colour. I wonder how many Sikhs, during the time of the Gurus, would have seen whites, blacks, Orientals, Hispanics, Native Americans, Aboriginals etc? I know Guru Gobind Singh ji was treated by a European for a wound during his attempted assassination but it makes you think. People mistakenly use colour as context.

My OP was actually about people misusing Sikhi today. If you had bothered to read my second post then you would know that I feel the same about whites and Punjabis.

To make it clear to you and others, I don't mind non-Punjabis practicing Sikhi so as long as they do so with sincerity. I wouldn't be bothered if I saw an African or Asian practicing it if they were searching for Waheguru and finding peace. I am just wary of Westerners (3HO, British, Americans, Europeans, commercialised jathe etc.) whose minds are corrupt and portray a fake image of looking and acting 'holy' or trying to be 'different' or 'mysterious' or treating Sikhi as something 'cool/funky'. That is what annoys me.

Corruption and evil are everywhere but I believe there are more people outside the West who are more pure, like those who have nothing, live in poverty/war/dictatorships yet practice the faith. You cannot trust anyone but I have more time for those people.

Just saw the first half of the vid (Tegh Singh's section). I thought it was quite inspiring myself. It was refreshing to see an American not blindly following some twisted notion of patriotism and actually questioning the morality of the wars Bush and Blair started. 

 

It was also very interesting to see mention of the psychological effects of finding out you had been lied to about your mission as a soldier.

What about the Kurds, you can compare their genocide to Sikhs randomingly getting picked-up from the streets and getting shot at during what the Indians call the militancy. If someone has any Daya they wouldn't once sympathize with Saddam like you seem to be doing. Do you believe Saddam Hussein was right for killing innocent people, (non-revolutionary civilians)? The only reason isis was allowed to be created was because we let Muslims alone, when you let Muslims do what they want, even if it starts out liberal they become extremists. Look at the history of Iran, when they knew right from wrong they were allies with America: once the West let Iran free, they became an Islamic Theocracy, (first in the world for Shias), now Turkey is going in the same direction, the West is giving them freedom, and they are becoming Radical Muslims. It's the same fault Ranjit Singh did by not allowing Muslims to find some way to Vaheguru, and not saving them by teaching them Gurmat and because of his SJW behavior when it came for Punjab's destruction in 1947: Muslims were the majority and Hindus were the largest minority. (Also let's not forget these Muslims also caused the Crusades, conquered the birth place of Jesus, caused forced conversions throughout the world and killed many Sikhs in between all of that).

Bro , you need to reattach to Guru ji because something got lost in translation... Guru ji says ALL come from the ONE , the ONE creates the HUKHAM and creation bends to it . These people you are so scatching on actually went through the fire to reach Guru ji's charan  , she went through physical and sexual abuse thus left home instead of taking the coward's way out .

 Even though she went through it from SIKHs she never lost her connection with her Guru in her heart. It was 'sikhs' who destroyed her happiness, innocence and security and they did not try to support her in all those years before she met her husband. So I can understand her position , and she didn't just forget her Guru in worldly love , Guru ji gave her someone who could support through the pain of her past and get her to back to the path , they both had sanjog to become the Guru 's again . 

your analysis is tainted with lack of faith , understanding and truth.

The line I posted is basic Punjabi. If you have trouble understanding that then please seek help with learning Punjabi. The Shabad is also from Japji Sahib, infact its the second pauri of Gurbani. So let me get this straight, you've come on here. Attacked just the newly converted Sikh because of his skin but also other members but you, yourself haven't even bothered reading the first 8 angs of your own Shabad Guru, you can't even understand basic Punjabi. But the bad guy here is someone who's had Gurbani resonate with them? Right sure I guess I'll sit down and break it up for you since its apparent you enjoy talking out of your backside. 

ਹੁਕਮੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਹੁਕਮ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
 

ਹੁਕਮੈ = Order of God (the order)

 ਅੰਦਰਿ = within

 ਸਭੁ ਕੋ = everything

 ਬਾਹਰਿ = outside

ਹੁਕਮ = order

 ਨ ਕੋਇ = no one.

Translates to Everything is within the order of God, there is nothing outside of it.  So please tell me how not everything is hukam.

PC? lmao. Right, because unlike you I've not exhibited a hatred of people who want to Sikhism, so i guess I must be PC. 

ehm what? lol. You don't even know that Guru is a title and not a name, the only time Guru is used in a name is with the conjunction of other words for example Gursevak (servant of the Guru). Bhani is also a very common name, and get this Gobind (the name) is also common in India. So I guess all those names loss all meaning. I wonder if you know where your name comes from? I'm willing to bet no because you already stated you know little Gurbani, yet you have the hypocrisy to sit there and lecture others over the fact that they don't understand the meaning of it. Unless of course you keep names like Harry Singh or maybe Happy Singh. If you knew your own history you'd know that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's name was given to him by Guru Hargobind Ji after he fought in a war. The word "Tegh" means holder of the sword, plenty of Sikhs have shared that name, but of course all of them must have known the meanings and all of them must be masters of 4 languages.

If you bothered listening to his interview video you'd know he spent his time listening to Kirtan, listening to Katha and doing his own research, they'd listen to Sakhis and how the Sakhis inspired him.

How many people take Amrit yet don't change their bad habits? I think it is only a matter of time. Would you find it funny and say 'lmao'?

So I guess we should all stop taking Amrit? How many Punjabis break Rehit? Why are you applying one standard to them and another to this man? its highly amusing how you know nothing about this guy but you'll hate on him because he's black. If it had been a Punjabi dude, you'd sit there and congratulate him, but because of his skin colour you can't even do that. You claim its out of love for Sikhi but you can't even be arsed to sit there and learn Gurbani, let alone Japji Sahib the most basic of all Bani, the first 8 angs of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. All you've shown is you're an intolerant individual who'll tell others to do something but wont do it himself.

fter all, we do live in Kaljug, which is, also, referenced in numerous shabads. Could you post, translate and discuss them too, without external reference?

Depends on the region of Gurbani picked. I can translate and discuss Shabads from Guru Sahib providing they don't contain Bhagat Banis as some of them are a bit harder for me to translate but yes I could I like to think as when I do read Gurbani (currently doing Sehaj Path) I can understand the basic linguistics behind it and going by and applying my own knowledge/level and thought provide a discussion on the basis of what was uttered.

The line I posted is basic Punjabi. If you have trouble understanding that then please seek help with learning Punjabi. The Shabad is also from Japji Sahib, infact its the second pauri of Gurbani. So let me get this straight, you've come on here. Attacked just the newly converted Sikh because of his skin but also other members but you, yourself haven't even bothered reading the first 8 angs of your own Shabad Guru, you can't even understand basic Punjabi. But the bad guy here is someone who's had Gurbani resonate with them? Right sure I guess I'll sit down and break it up for you since its apparent you enjoy talking out of your backside. 

ਹੁਕਮੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਹੁਕਮ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
 

ਹੁਕਮੈ = Order of God (the order)

 ਅੰਦਰਿ = within

 ਸਭੁ ਕੋ = everything

 ਬਾਹਰਿ = outside

ਹੁਕਮ = order

 ਨ ਕੋਇ = no one.

Translates to Everything is within the order of God, there is nothing outside of it.  So please tell me how not everything is hukam.

 

 

PC? lmao. Right, because unlike you I've not exhibited a hatred of people who want to Sikhism, so i guess I must be PC. 

ehm what? lol. You don't even know that Guru is a title and not a name, the only time Guru is used in a name is with the conjunction of other words for example Gursevak (servant of the Guru). Bhani is also a very common name, and get this Gobind (the name) is also common in India. So I guess all those names loss all meaning. I wonder if you know where your name comes from? I'm willing to bet no because you already stated you know little Gurbani, yet you have the hypocrisy to sit there and lecture others over the fact that they don't understand the meaning of it. Unless of course you keep names like Harry Singh or maybe Happy Singh. If you knew your own history you'd know that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's name was given to him by Guru Hargobind Ji after he fought in a war. The word "Tegh" means holder of the sword, plenty of Sikhs have shared that name, but of course all of them must have known the meanings and all of them must be masters of 4 languages.

I didn't like him insulting our people, (as in Subcontinentals), he seemed a bit racist if you asked me because of him complaining that they didn't completely gravel to him at the Gurdwara? What was he seriously about? But Vaheguru kirpa on him, he seems like a nice guy with a sincere heart, it's good that Guru Sahib granted him grace; hopefully Vaheguru blesses the entire a world with Sikhi. Genuinely I think he's a good guy, (not one of them stereotypical Khalas), but he's got to be quite about the whole discrimination at the Gurdwara thing, other than that he's reasonable.
