Knowledge is power. |
Cyber Sangat Ji, it is with a heavy heart that www.info-sikh.com adds this section to our site. |
What a glorious faith it must be when two of the worlds largest religions fight and squabble over it. O' how glorious must Guru Nanak Dev Ji be when two of the worlds largest religions claim him to be their own. Do the Hindus claim Mohammad Ji to be their own? Do the Muslims claim Bhagwan Krishan Ji as their own? Why have not the Jews not come forward to claim prophet Mohammed Ji as a jew or the Christian not come forward to claim him as a Christian even though he had declared that he was a continuation of the line of prophets and the last prophet.

We regard all the worlds people as one and have no animosity towards anyone. All we wish is to get on with the task of meditating on Gods name and get closer to Him. But we feel that our youngsters are being accosted in their schools, colleges and on the web and bullied and harassed for their beliefs. A lot of lies and misinformation is spread by certain sections of the community to undermine our values. Our youth need to be armed with knowledge about their own faith and that of others so that they can tackle often difficult questioning by these zealots.The following are some answers to questions often aimed at Sikhs. Remember, a lot of what these people say are lies or Sikh scriptures deliberately misinterpreted, so be strong and meet the challenge. Let us iterate once more, we hold no animosity towards any one and would rather not attack any faith or belief, in fact religious harmony is an ideal which we should all strive towards. |
