What are sikhi/s?

Question

I have two friends in Krishna/ believers more than 10 years.

When we meet they always talk about God Krishna knowledge

for the world.I like this much as they are very good people and I think their religion is very true and working.

Sometimes when we talk I can somehow visualise the ashram they go on saturdays- they are not afraid of this mutual clairvoyance-they say this is a sikhi but they do not know if this comes to me from a spiritual teacher and for what is being given.

Is this a vision telepathy?

Answer 1

Visit the Ashram on Saturday and verify your vision. You can then be the judge.

Sikhism:

A fairly young religion, Sikhism was founded only five hundred years ago by Guru Nanak (1439‐1539).

His family was descended from the ancient kings of the lunar race, thus they were Kshatryas, members of the Hindu warrior caste and were well off. He had a revelatory experience in his mid‐thirties and set out teaching throughout India, Ceylon, Tibet, and parts of the Arab world. His message was that true religion consisted of

being ever‐mindful of God, meditating on God’s Name, and reflecting it in all activities of daily life.

His followers were of both Hindu and Muslim origin, they became known as Sikhs (from the Sanskrit word shishya—disciple). At the time Sikhism emerged Indian society had been deeply divided because of the Muslim leaders over several centuries who had tried to compel the conversion of the “polytheistic” culture of Hinduism to monotheism. Indian society was torn apart by the tensions between Hindu and Muslims. It was in this setting that Nanak was born. In A World Religions Reader (1997)

Sikhists believe in one god, equality of men, women and all society, and that time is cyclical, not linear.

Therefore Sikhism has no eschatological belief. A symbol of this universal acceptance is the langar, a meal that is eaten together by the congregation, shared food becoming a social leveler. They reject asceticism and the caste system. The seminal belief in Sikhism is quoted here from the Sourcebook Of The World’s Religions (2000) in the article called A Portrait by Dr. Rajwant Singh and Ms. Georgia Rangel, from the Mool Mantra which is the beginning of the Guru Granth Sahib: “There is One God. He

Is the Supreme Truth

Is without fear

Is not vindictive

Is Timeless, Eternal

Is not born, so

He does not die to be reborn.

Self‐illumined,

By Guru’s grace

He is revealed to the human soul.

Truth was in the beginning, and throughout the ages.

Truth is now and ever will be.

In Sikhism haumai (self‐centeredness), greed, lust, pride, anger, and attachment to the passing values of people on earth is what separates us from God. Haumai is the source of all evil. Dr. Rajwant Singh and Ms. Georgia Rangel also tell us, “It is a person’s inclination to evil that produces the karma that leads to endless rebirth.”

Theopportunity for spiritual union with the Supreme Being, what each human life can be, is a core belief of Sikhism. If one lives a life of single‐minded devotion to God, achieves a level of spiritual self‐knowledge and the stage of

enlightenment to become one with God, one will be freed from the cycle of death and rebirth, but only by God’s Grace, not by one’s own merit. Sikhism’s concept of salvation is to become enlightened, not redemption.

Answer 3

All roads appear to lead to Rome when it comes to spiritual/paranormal wisdom and experience.

Maybe what you're seeing is telepathy.  Or maybe it's a second-cousin wearing spiritual robes.

I'm not sure how a person would go about drawing a boundary line between the two.

Simran and Sewa: These are the Foundations of Sikhism. It is the duty of every Sikh to practise Naam Simran daily and engage in Sewa whenever there is a possibility- in Gurdwara; in community centre; old people's homes; care centres; major world disasters, etc

The Three Pillars of Sikhism: Guru Nanak formalised these three important pillars of Sikhism:

Naam Japna: – A Sikh is to engage in a daily practise of meditation and Nitnem by reciting and chanting of God’s Name.

Kirat Karni: - To live honestly and earn by ones physical and mental effort while accepting Gods gifts and blessings. A Sikh has to live as a householders carrying out his or her duties and responsibilities to the full.

Vand Chakna: - The Sikhs are asked to share their wealth within the community and outside by giving Dasvandh and practising charity (Daan). To “Share and consume together”.
