Message: <blockquote data-quote="Archived_Member1" data-source="post: 60600" data-attributes="member: 4703">Re: Questions about Sikki  sikhism is pretty open... you can call God whatever you like. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  most people use Waheguru- wah from the persian meaning wonderful, and guru - one who removes darkness with light.  some use Akal, Ram, Har, Gobind...  but we can call him/her/it anything we like. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  and yes, we can say god's name outloud, in fact it is recommended that we do it as much as possible.  that's what naam japo is all about.  for a good overview of god's attributes, read Jap Sahib, the second of our morning prayers.  you can see an english translation here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaap_Sahib" target="_blank">Jaap Sahib - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a> but i'd recommend reading or listening to it in the original persian/sanskrit as well as it has such a lovely rhythm. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
