Thank you for the warm welcome, Ishna.  It's great to be here

Thanks again.  I do feel lucky to have been given such a strong and simple basic grasp of Sikhi by my parents.

I've done plenty of reading and thinking in my own time, and Gurbāni really started to click in university.  Other philosophical content I was reading and watching helped me to understand where Sikhi had positioned itself, and I soon realised the genius of Guru Nānak's thinking and how it was by far superior to anything produced during the European Enlightenment.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll make my way through it.

I remember using the term "Nānakian Philosophy" when I was semi-active on Sikh forums under a different username about a decade ago.  I was chased away then for using such a "pseudo-intellectual terminology", for voicing "unorthodox views", and I was outright banned from some forums for promoting "anti-Sikh views".

Glad to see things have changed
