Sikhi Sikhism Gurmat Gurbani Khalsa

Sikh Passion seeks to educate sikhs and non sikhs about this great philosophy called sikhism. Sikhism is the world's first and only theocratic system that believes in freedom of speech, choice, expression, freedom of religion, pluralism, human rights, equality between men and women, equality of all people regardless of race, religion, caste, creed, status etc. Another distuingishing factor is that Sikhism doesn't actively seek converts - we believe that all paths if followed sincerely would lead to the same goal.

Sikh Passion is also a community and networking site not just for sikhs but also people who are intrigued by Sikhism.

Most of us just complain without actually making an effort to make a change. This is how the young sikhs might usher in a revolution

(i) Discard castist last names - upon being asked your got - answer your ancestors were the lowest of low castes but ever since they embraced khalsa they didnt have a caste any more. Refuse to participate in a discussion where caste is mentioned.

Concept Of Death In Sikhism

Sun, 02/17/2008 - 23:12 — sikhp

For a Sikh mortal death is the fourth and final stage of significance to their life. This follows mortal birth, (and in no particular order) anand karaj (marriage ceremony) and amrit sanchar (initiation into the khalsa).

The human body is like a shell, it is one of many shells the soul enters in this cycle of births and deaths. The purpose of human life is to attain god realisation so we are no longer confined to the painful cycle of births and deaths in various different life forms. Dhan Dhan Satguru Arjan Sahib speaks:
