some Sikhs are very good
but they are also divided into two parts
SGPC & others
SGPC thinks about that they are unique,they are applying their own straights on all the Sikhs,such as own calender,own rules also
this is really very bad
they r good kind people,or should b.the tenets of the religion the rest of us could do with learning.i admire the religion wish had more of em,the least anti hate religion apart from bud dist on planet today.not sure could wear turban though
It is the duty of a Sikh to aspire to Sainthood and work for the betterment of Mankind.
I know they have had many problems with regard to the Golden Temple and many other issues of which I am not educated enough to pass comment.
But as a Brit I have met and worked with many Sikhs and have found them to be nice people.
I have nothing but respect for them, as I do Buddhists, but it's another offshoot from Sanatan Dharma ('Hinduism') that's not really needed, in my eyes.
There's no need for more divides in the world, when everyone follows one Eternal Religion there will be peace.
Since I am a Sikh, I am not sure if this question was intended for me but here I go :-)
Guru Nanak Dev Ji (First Guru of Sikhism) says,
?The first is truthfulness, second the honest earning and third charity in God?s name. The fourth is pure intent and mind, and the fifth is the Lord?s admiration and praise.?
Sikhism is a way of life and form of thought attaching importance to optimistic, dynamic and happy life with prescribed code of conduct. It is a way to conduct and govern true life all the times and at all the places in every behavior according to the Word of God. The Sikh Gurus required of a Sikh to be wise, intelligent, understanding, erudite, generous, incapable of doing wrong, closed to weakness, humble, content, shy and grateful as God endowed him with flawless soul. Sikhism stands for human liberty, equality, fraternity, universalism, freedom of conscience, social justice, ethical living, gender equality, and Charhdi Kala or dynamic power. It believes in love, selfless service, human dignity, self respect, Simran and Sarbat Da Bhala.
Guru Nanak Dev founded the Sikh religion by establishing universal elements in it. Sikhism stands on the cardinal principles of earning one?s bread by honest labor, sharing the earnings with the needy willingly and with pleasure, meditating on the Name of One God, singing His praises and by doing noble deeds.
The principles of Kirt Karna (honest labor), Wand Chhakna (sharing the earnings) and Nam Japna (Meditation on the Name of God) must be studied as a community and applied accordingly in life.
Sikhism stands for human liberty, equality and fraternity. It believes in universal brotherhood, universal peace and prosperity with commitment for selfless service to the entire human race. The Sikh prayer all over the world is not confined to a single community, a nation or a country. It is for well-being of entire human race. It is universal and all embracing. It is not confined to a single caste, colour, creed, country or a gender. It does not know the man made barriers or cruel diversities but believes in "-Universal brotherhood of mankind."
