Sat Sri Akal everyone. I have one conflict that keeps coming to my head and I cannot get past it. So as I have done my nursing and have worked as a nurse back home in India. I have always been a nurse who cannot ignore her work and patients. I was given shifts to work in the ICU soon after a...

Hi there - I just came back from a young friends funeral. He was only 35, 2 beautiful kids and a lovely wife. Died from a 4 year battle with cancer. Very sad. The Antam Ardas was peaceful and comforting. But reoccurring message I kept hearing was that this was Guru's Hukam and he planned it...

Hukamnama, literally means "Royal Order." As Akal Takht Sahib is the Throne of the Almighty, the orders issued by Akal Takht Sahib are called Hukamnamas. The letters written by the Sikh Gurus too were also called Hukamnamas. In the middle ages, the orders from the worldly rulers were also known...

So I came by today to ask a question. I see there is a thread about hukkam vs tarot which I did read with interest and reply to, but this is not solely about tarot. I've been wondering about this. So as I understand it Sikhi claims that everything is hukkam. As in it's pre-determined, no...

Bhagoutee from the word Bhagawati, which is one of the names for the Hindu goddess Shakti. Shakti is the agent of creation and change in the Universe. It is the source of power. Its parallel concept in Gurbani is Hukam (Divine Command). According to the Hukam, all things come to pass in the...

Sat Sri Akaa This has probably been discussed before, but I seek clarity and discussion about my current understanding, please. Haumai is the condition of ego-self that presents itself as separate from everything else. It is the root of the problem that comes with being human. It is the...

Free Will Is an Illusion, so What? What are the implications? Published on May 8, 2012 by Raj Raghunathan, Ph.D. in Sapient Nature Think of someone that you dislike. Let’s call this person X. Now, imagine that you were born with X’s “genetic material.” That is, imagine that you had X’s...

Are the hukamnamas from past saved anywhere? I mean, is it possible to find out the hukam from Darbar Sahib from the day I was born? I am just curious what it was... I don't know if its possible to go back that far. I know some apps now send everyday and you can go backward for some time, but...

I was reading T. Singh Ji's article The Guru: Meaning and Business of the Guru (available here), when I came upon this paragraph: As discussed in detail in Part 1 of this Reflection, whenever there is a mention of Guru or Satguru in the Gurbani, it points only towards the non-dual Divine...

Hukam is the fundamental concept being talked so much about in Guru Granth Sahib.The realization of the "HUKAM" is being of utmost importance to PEACE. "Kiv Sachiae Hohiye Kiv Kude Tute Paal Hukam Razai Chlna Nanak Likeha Naal" Hukam ,walking In the way of the will of god ,HIS Commandis...

I have a very clear idea of what I believe Hukam to be, whether it is in line with established Sikh thought, I do not know, but it is a foundation of my current thinking, In the past I have struggled to be live by the truth, really struggled, the truth screams out at me at every oppertunity...

_/|\_ Sat Nam I am hoping to engage in some discussion on what today's Hukam states about Muslims. The Guru Granth Sahib calls people of all and no religions to be honest with themselves when it comes to their relationship with God. There was a time when it hurt my feelings a little...

Sat Nam I love the Daily Hukam. From what I understand, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib is opened to a random page and it becomes the Guru's message for the day. Is it true that Sikhs also do this to get help with certain questions they have about things in their lives? How is this done? Is there...

Confused Ji and I would like to take up the discussion of Karma and right understanding of Karma, stated in another post. I suggest we do so here, pulling on Sikh and non-Sikhi philsophy as appropriate to arrive at a conclusion. The Sikh Wiki reads: This might be the personal opinion of...

Dear SPNers.I was going through this thread "Sikhism and Black Magic" in this forum when I read people say everything is hukam and one should not worry about going to babas or black magicians for benefit. One often comes around the work "Hukam" in Sikhism. I think it means God's will. If...

hello all, Recently I have been hearing that divorce is against the will of God. so my question is, if God knows that we will make mistakes (and marriage to the wrong person maybe one) why are people advising that divorce is against his will. Do you think its because of culture, status or just...

My dear brothers and sisters kaurhug I am very much intrigued by the Sikh theological concept of "Hukam" (Will). I have been pondering this idea deeply. I am really amazed by the number of teachings of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji that I already, deep down, believe. Much of Sikhism resonates...
