    Viewers please just keep in mind that we sikhs do not believe in converting people to sikhism. We just like to spread the message of sikhi and people through their own choice choose sikhism as their religion

    Sikhs have not been at war with Muslims bought have sought to defend the defenseless against those who would force people unwillingly to convert to their religion. In many cases it has been with Islamic factions who have sought to subdue or convert millions of people. This at the price of their lives by refusing to convert. There are many factions within India today who are happy to pit Hindu against Sikh and Muslim against Sikh. An unfortunate situation. Cherdi Kala.

    All Gurduaras are open to all people. As one commentator noted, during the time of 10th Guru there were clearly 5 fingers of Sikhi, under the leadership of Guru Pita the community as a whole was more accepting and less narrow in vision. The fingers were: Nihang, Seva Panthi, Nirmala, Taksal, Udasi. Warriors, Selfless servants, Scholars (of different schools), Authority on Gurmat and Yogis. These are traditional Sikhi branches. After the reform movement less than 100 years ago, we forgot this.

      Harijot Khalsa brother stand up for us dark skinned mazbi brothers and sisters against jattism also known as Sikhism. Absolutely nothing from God it's all about high caste jatts and low caste bull. It has all the hall marks of a cult Free my fellow mazbi brothers and sisters you devilish demented cult following yeast infection

    • @jojames6621
      @jojames6621 6 років тому +2

      Talvinder Singh no bro u are wrong! Jattism is not the same thing as sikhism. Jattism and high caste and low caste are NOT apart of sikh religion! They are apart of punjabi culture NOT sikh religion!. The sikh religion actually speaks out against the caste system. So how is it that sikhism supports caste system when clearly sikhism is against caste system??

    As a Punjabi and a American, I know as a Sikh it is my duty to Sikhia the best qualities of every culture and to cast away as garbage the bad qualities of each culture. I can see that the White Sikhs, Spanish & Latin Sikhs, African Sikhs, all these of Sikh Dharma Yogi Bhajan these follow Sikhia in the closest way yet know that matches Sikhs of Guru's Times! No infighting, total Light & Grace! Kundalini Yoga really instiles good values for our kids to then wed Sikhia onto!

    You will find a lot of rumors about so called 3HO Gurduaras. Many people visit and are pleasantly surprised to find that it's not what they thought it would be. Sikhs are all brothers and sisters. I would suggest to visit your brothers and sisters yourself and then decide, rather than listen to others opinions. Especially from the internet there are gross exaggerations and some flat out lies. Siri Guru Granth Sahib is the Guru of the world and is the highest leader of all Sikhs.

    I don't have a problem with yoga, or tai chi or any other recreational activity for that matter. I'm also not against Sikhs doing such recreational activities either! I just don't like when they mislead people that kundalini yoga IS Sikhism when it has nothing to do with it. Yoga (and tai chi or any other such recreational activity) should be kept out of the Gurdwara. Keep yoga for the yoga studios.

    Woman can do kertan in darbar sahib and they can be part of 5 pyare. Masands were the ones that took over our gurudawaras and changed alot of out history and idologies during gorrilla war type fights.
    yes, alot of these yogis and 3ho's arnt sikhs, as picture and idol worship is against our faith and they do all that.

    American are very narrow minded about relugions and the world outside of the USA. However once they know a sikh is not a Muslim then they respect us more and research the sikh background and then actually acknowledge depths the religions brings along with its differences to many other religions.

    They have Guruji's photos as a mark of respect for Gurus..Without Gurus, who would have helped them...they bow their heads in front of Gurus..Even Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is Sikhs' Guru...Sikhs bow their heads in front of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji ...Paying respect does not mean they consider them God....Gurus have clearly said that God is only one..Timeless, Formless...but Sikhs respect Gurus and will always have pics in homes and thank Gurus for showing the path to Salvation.

    I recommend they replace Miri-Piri Academy of Amritsar with a Sikh Dharma based Kundaliin Academy! In USA people who adopt Sikh Dharma from the Meditative paths they are Sikhs of Light, but students of Miri-Piri and even worse 5th Centenary School in Mussiore they pick up bad Indian habits that Gurus opposed from the Hindutva RSS agents in Punjab like drugs. Then they loose the kids loose the path. Instil Sikhia into babies and never have any problems, forget Miri Piri the Indian teachers bad
