You can't possibly get a real feel of Sikhi without the music. There are many possibilities here on SPN. I especially love this one on YouTube that has Gurmukhi (that strange writing), transliteration and translation. There are also many done in modern style, but I prefer the more traditional.

Ah Mai Harinder Kaur that really made me smile! I never knew there was any kind of music associated. I'm listening to it now. What are they talking about in the song?

Hello, I was on here briefly a long time ago. Long enough to forget my password, so I feel like I am starting anew.
I am a 54, female and pretty well read. Maybe too much. I have read every philosopher under the sun, and have learned that intellectualizing too much can not only turn a person into a skeptic about everything, but also a bore.
I feel like I've gone around in circles reading about religion. I have studied Buddhism for quite some time, and quite frankly, it leaves me cold. Being a somewhat withdrawn person, it was of absolutely no help to me, just making me feel further detached from life and retreating into myself even further. I feel more depressed now than I ever did. Ditto Hinduism, as the bottom line with that for me is, yes a lot of brilliant thought came out of it, but.....that terrible caste system. Where is the sense of joy? I also sense a lack of justice and quite frankly found Buddhism would turn me into a doormat. I have read much on Sikhism, but can't say I know all aspects of it, and would like to learn. Call me boring, but I am a sensible person. I don't believe in dietary codes, a rigid way of thinking because "it's always been done this way", etc. I am basically a person of common sense.
Can you advise me of a good copy of your Guru Granth Sahib? Hope I got that right. I don't fit in anywhere and am going through a terrible crisis in my life on top of everything else. I have read the story of Guru Nanek and always thought he got it right. I am looking for some joy in my life, without a bunch of rigid "do's and don'ts". There must be a religion that promotes happiness and the well-being of all, without asking one to be a doormat. That is my biggest pet peeve with all the religions I've studied. I say studied, because none of them have clicked with me. I am not a warlike person, but I certainly feel people have the right to defend themselves and others. Mostly I have found a total lack of common sense. Like, to just let people walk all over you, which doesn't go down very well with me. I also have a good sense of humor, despite the tone of this introduction. Why are so many religious people so dry and grim? Anyway, I have blabbed on enough. Just my opinion, and maybe I will find some sanity in Sikhism.

I thinkforyourself ji welcome.
We have a few sections here so try to bounce around if one item gets heavy, go for some relaxing stuff.
There will be few here who may want to joust with intellect but there are tremendous common, simple and straighforward non dogmatic souls.
Hope you will find it refreshing.
Maestro drum beat please,

Dear thinkforyourself, WELCOME.
Admin apology: The message seems to have been lost while re-formatting the content. Please use notepad or wordpad to avoid such occurrences as cut pasting from softwares like Microsoft Word bring in a lot of avoidable formatting issues. Thank you!
<!--?"urn:
All religions have rules of do n don’t. Some have more and some less. It is up to one what he/she like. In any religion person don’t have his thinking. He/she have to follow the rules.
Sikhism is or was very open religion. Here you will find lot of good information. Hope it will be useful.
As you said you have read and studied most religion, nothing is up to your liking.
Why not try to know you’re self and believe in your self. The joy you are searching is with you. It is not out there or in any religion. Religion does not give joy it is you what to get from religion.
It is good you do not want to be doormat. No person should be happy as doormat.
Make the best of this site.

Yes POTTER ji I did get your gracious message. We need to make this conversation a matter for Aman Singh because it all seems to hinge on a software glitch. So I am moving it to the Admin only section of the forum. As for the token expiring. This is something that happens from time to time. Reload the page. You can also try to clear your cache. Or log out and log back in again to SPN. Thanks peacesignkaur
