god

Is the real purpose of religion spirituality? Not every religion but some of them including Sikhism perhaps can lead to spirituality. Here are some of the characteristics of religion and spirituality that I like to share. I would request learned members to give their opinion. RELIGION vs...

Buddha was not a God. He never claimed to be a God. He never claimed to be messenger of God. He was a man who achieved Nirvana through Human efforts. Guru Nanak claimed the same except he accepted God within us. How different are messages of Buddha and Founding Guru Nanak of Sikhs! Buddha and...

Greetings, I am new to the SPN, and I have found myself increasingly reading more articles and discussions here, simply from my internet searches, without ever making an account. This is a bit lengthy but thought I should make this post to introduce myself to the community at large. My path of...

If not, what is the difference between these terms ?

Christians are very clear from their bible on how God created the world in 7 days (6000 yrs ago). I believe this to be bogus, and very flawed. I've yet to read up on how Islam or Hindu's explain this question. But was more interested in how Sikhi explains the creation of the world and...

To be a Sikh, you pretty much believe in the existence of God. But people will argue how to be a Sikh, like I'm Sikh but cut hair, yet believe in God inside me. But there are people who are not Sikhs (Jews, Hindus, Christians, etc.) who also believe in God. If it was proven that there is no...

Since according to sikhi, the ultimate aim of human life is to become ONE with god, I wonder why souls separated from god in the first place? P.S. I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings so please bear with it if my question sounds arrogant.

Christianity has many flaws, and yet it's one of the oldest and first religions. Religion is supposed to be the word of God. Yet science, common sense, and flat out ignorant teachings show that Christianity has many flaws or is just wrong and not real. So then what makes Sikhism so right...

TELEPATHY AS A UNIQUE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH THE WORLD AND BEYOND AS PER GURBANI Dr Dalvinder Singh Grewal Dalvinder45@rediffmail.com, 919815366726 'Through Pasroor Guru Nanak reached Kotla Mian Mitha and settled in a garden about a mile away from the town. Mian Mitha got an intuition of...

I know that this is uh a bit controversial and all that. Seriously, I do not want to cause any argument and all that, but I am having trouble in believing god in all that. I don't even know that he even exists or not, because there are people who are insane or in cults like ISIS killing people...

To understand the concept of manmukh n gurmukh we need to first, establish whether there is a Supreme Being or not ? Take care -

Wikipedia would disagree <snipped unnecessary quip. Try "some members"- AK>. Even the word Deity does not have to point to a human like supernatural figure: "Deities are depicted in a variety of forms, but are also frequently expressed as having human form. Some faiths and traditions consider...

This question has bothered me. I do not appreciate the meaning of this term as per Sikh philosophy. It is stated that merger of soul with super soul is the objective .Even now we have consciousness that is small jot of God. God has larger consciousness may be called as Jot , itself. In that case...

I posted this elsewhere the other day...just things I would enjoy discussing... If there is a god… (Philosophical musings) Things I don’t understand: If god created the earth AND the heavens and universe, and things that are “on the ground” for me in Canada are on “the top of the world” for...

As the tittle of the blog suggest, this question has been among the biggest question of all, especially for those who are religious.In the following paragraphs I will try to analyze it best to my understanding. To begin with, we see many common things in all religions.Each religion has a...

Hi folks, Just thought I would drop you all a line and see how your getting on! There has been much confusion on the whole God subject for so long, I have to be honest, I am pretty much a non interventionist God, as for God loving you, well I am the supreme being so I don't realty have much time...

The Creator – God, as usually described; His nature and existence! Not new questions for humanity but baffling, nevertheless. What do historians and linguists tell us about the word god and its origin. I am not a theologian so let me lay the matter to rest with the brief note that the English...

Hello everybody I'm mainly interested in the concept of total liberation and the question about the recitation of the Name of God..how do we know the Name of God? Did He/She said it to us..all religions and phlisophies came up with different names....could someone explain that to me..with words...

I often read about the desire to meet god, how people wish to finally meet god and spend eternity at his feet bathing them in tears of joy, personally I can think of better ways to spend eternity, but we are all different. I got up at 6 this morning, as I always do, god was lying next to me...

I find myself at a confusing point in my life I think. I enjoy Sikhi. I enjoy learning about religions in general. But none of my learning has convinced me there is (a) god. Almost, the opposite I might say. Here are some of my thoughts: a) Many religions seem to claim, or at least have...
