    I’m French born British national,who converted to Sikhism, a non sectarian faith, not God fearing, but God loving and therefore loving humanity with all its diversity. Whatever creed, caste, colour or gender, we are coming from the same divine spirit. Sad to see how the Trump cult has polarised American society legitimising racism and hatred.

    I clicked on this video because I have always been curious about their beliefs. I'll watch a different video to dive into that since this didn't cover their spiritual beliefs too much, but I've never heard anyone have a bad word to say about Sikhs. I went to school in the 90s with a boy who was a Sikh and he was super laid back and nice. No drama. Never had any issues with anyone.

    The Guru Granth Sahib opens with the basic concept of the One Universal, supreme Energy called by so many different names across humanity,.
    Ik oankar - One absolute being (God)
    Satnam - Eternal truth it's name
    Karta Purkh - Creator
    Nirbau - without fear
    Nirvair - without hate/ enmity
    Akal Murat - Deathless/timeless image
    Ajuni - Beyound birth and death
    Saibang - self existant
    Gurprasad - known by the Guru's Grace.
    This is repeated numerous times and at the start of every section as a constant reminder.
    In the words of the tenth Sikh Guru - Guru Gobind Singh "recognise the human race as ONE"

    Spiritual identity is not defined in personal choices of clothing, but by the heart and mind of religious people. Religion is a problem because it makes one an outsider. But true spirituality found in Christianity is based on the heart and mind of people but religious clothing. The heart and mind of someone is connected to the spirit of God and the spirits of other people. This is what makes one spiritual and connect to God Himself.

    He was God messenger on earth
    He was alone in a forest and knew that his whole family had sacrificed themselve for religion
    Alone in forest
    Nobody was their with him
    No mother
    Father was martyred long ago for another religion
    All four children martyred in battle
    No wife with him
    Still he praised god and was always the words of God
    Never criticized that why this happened with him like all of us do something maybe
    Just think he knew everything still he praised god
    Some of us might be in depression
    But the people of God or messenger of God are always in god's hukum (actions)
    They way God desires is what is destiny.
    He said one Sikh is capable to fight a hundred thousand soldiers
    That is the power he gave us
    That we are today is because of that quality and that ideology of his .

We have to know who the One God is and the One Path not many paths so the Worship is how he taught and wants from the Son of Adam.

All i knew was if you wore a hair covering for your faith, you must be pretty committed back in 2002, that maybe if it got misplaced to which others could see your hair might be embarrassing for them or something like that. So, if it looked like it was about to have a fashion malfunction, I'd let them know. Pretty cool to know that they got their start from kicking Mongol ass and promoting ideas of equality while not shoving it down someone's throat... like.. mine...did.... anyway, cool stuff and good on them for having a history of being warriors for human rights

    his motivation was my little pony. he was upset that he could never meet a character from my little pony in real life, so he took out his frustration on people at his old workplace, and killed himself in hopes that he would be with that character in the afterlife. i am not making that up.

Gurdwaras less than a century ago were mostly managed by the mahant sampradaya, udasi sampradaya, and nirmala sampradaya. it was after some members of these sampradaya started to mismanage the gurdwara's which brought up the need for a cometti to manage the gurdwaras. This led to the creation sgpc. Sgpc was able to get control of major sikh gurdwaras but many gurdwaras were captured by rich farmers.

The whole community only dares to disrespect the Indian flag. They can't do the same thing in the Uk. When someone asks about the flight he or she is made silent. You can ask for an apology but can't respect the country that has more of your population. Protesting against the country for your very own demand of a separate country is excellent. The thing is there's a lot of their majority in Canada so that's why they are being saved but won't be at all the time. The loss is not even quantifiable.
