Misunderstanding about Why Slander other Religions

[Guest guest]

I think I shouldn’t have used the word slander. Lots

of people are taking a wrong meaning out of it. What I

want to say is that there are some websites that

display wrong information about Sikhism. I don’t know

if the webmaster is doing it just because he does not

know Sikhism very well or intentionally. I am writing

this mail so that my friends in this group don’t make

the same mistake. Just want to let you know that

Sikhism is a direct revelation from God. How? Please

read http://www.realsikhism.com/faq/creation.html Guru

Ji is in direct communion with God and only narrates

the word of God to us.

 

Sikhism is pure love towards God. Sikhs respect other

religions. Sikh have also helped Hindus in many ways

as Hindus have helped Sikhs.

 

Guru Teg Bahadur Ji gave up his life in order to save

Hindu Priests. Aurengzeb was converting Hindus to

Islam by force. Guru Ji raised his voice against such

injustice. Guru Ji was beheaded. Then Guru Gobind

Singh Ji fought with Aurengzeb in many battles in

order to eliminate injustice.

 

Sikhism promotes equality for all human races and

shows a path to be One with God. Sikhs in no way

disrespect anyone because all are the creation of God.

One light is within all and we bleed the same color,

don't we?

 

No hard feeling for anyone and I am sorry if I have

upset anyone.

What are the views in Sikhism on conversion? Do they believe their path is

the only one, or that others are equally valid?

On conversion topic please read

This will answer your question completely. Meanwhile

read the summary below.

 

Sikhs as a rule, do not run after people to convert

them to Sikh faith. Sikhs do not give the world the

impression that unless you convert to Sikhism, you are

going to go to hell. However, Guru Nanak went around

saying a prayer, “Oh my kind master, Lord, I pray unto

you, save this burning world". He's not talking about

Punjab. He’s not talking about India. He’s talking

about all of mankind. “With your kind grace, save this

world”. He was not trying to convert people to Sikhism

but was telling the truth about God and His creations.

The people that got inspired by him became his

follower and were known as Sikhs.

 

Guru Nanak says about religion, “It doesn’t matter to

me from which source he/she is inspired. My prayer

unto dear God is, please take that person into your

arms, if that person is inspired to come and meet with

you”. How you are inspired does not matter so long as

you are inspired rightly into God’s arms and we should

be tolerant enough to accept other’s sources of

inspiration.

 

Guru Nanak and the other Nine Great Gurus came into

the world only 500 years ago. Could Sikhs say, “Unless

you turn around and be Sikhs you will go to hell?”

Does that mean before 500 years ago everybody went to

hell? Or can we turn around and say that before Jesus

came into this world everybody burned in hell? No.

Sikhs do not run after people to convert them to

Sikhism but do give information about Sikhism to

anyone who asks for it. If someone is inspired, and

wants to become a Sikh, they are welcome to God’s

religion.
