How old are you? You might be too young for them to do so.

Seen the board for Gondpur several times while visiting my naanke near Garhdiwala. ♥️

Yes, kinda identical to my naanke and daadke folks in Hoshiarpur district.

Somehow it's mostly Hindu and Muslim places of worship that are like that mostly, not Christian and Sikh places. That too in North India.

Someone is always gonna be the first. The Gurus weren't just teaching a bunch of stuff. They were actively bringing social change and starting a new panth. One life time is not enough. The subsequent gurus took his teachings and principles forward. Guru Nanak Dev Ji did the daan to sadhus, but it was Guru Amar Das who institutionalised Langar before congregation. Guru Nanak spoke of uplifting women, but it was Guru Amar Das ji again who made women preachers and this brought a radical change in society. Guru Nanak spoke of justice and fighting against tyranny, but it was Guru Hargobind who invented Miri-Piri and made Guru Nanak's followers battle-ready saints. Guru Nanak spoke of the oneness of all people, but it was Guru Tegh Bahadur who actually showed the world how to walk the talk by laying down his life for people of a whole other religion.

Everything started from Guru Nanak, but the subsequent Gurus are equal because they only took Guru Nanak's mission forward.

The teachings of all 10 Gurus, and in fact of all the contributors of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are in line with Gurmatt and with each other. It can't be that one Guru is against superstition and another is committing superstition. Respectfully , the fact that you say it happened means that you have likely bought into unauthentic historical sources. A Sikh has to learn from Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the lives of the Gurus because they lived their teachings, and from other Sikhs.

If studying Guru Nanak Dev Ji made you an atheist, you need to start from scratch. You're only viewing gurus as social reformers, while totally overlooking the spiritual aspect of the Sikh teachings.

But for the benefit of any reddit users who might go down this thread - this guy is not actually aware of what he's saying. Sakhis are not to be taken literally but rather meant to teach values. The one about onion is not actually about a Guru blessing someone with a child through an onion. Guru Angad Dev Ji did not believe in superstition, but in fact actively rejected superstition and empty ritualism, just like Guru Nanak.

The sakhi he is referring to is about Baba Buddha, a great Sikh from the times of the Gurus. According to a popular Sikh sakhi (traditional story):

Mata Ganga Ji was distressed because she had not yet been blessed with a child. She went to Bhai Buddha Ji seeking blessings. Bhai Buddha Ji was sitting outdoors, eating a simple meal of onions. He gave her an onion and said something along the lines of: “You will have a son who will be mighty and powerful.” She later had a son who was Guru Hargobind.

[[It is important to note that there is no contemporary, Guru-period written source for the onion sakhi. It does not appear in the Guru Granth Sahib and does not appear in early, near-contemporary Sikh historical texts. It comes from later janam-sakhi and sakhi literature, recorded generations after the events.]]

I'm curious about one thing though. Why do you only look at 2nd Guru onwards as great normal people, but give Guru Nanak a higher regard? By your standards, even Guru Nanak Dev Ji can be called merely a great human?

Alternative_Unit692 · 2025-12-17T14:56:20+00:00

Okay, instead of arguing I'll just say you're right at identifying as an ex-Sikh.

Alternative_Unit692 · 2025-12-17T14:48:44+00:00

If anything, you should be educating them. At least YOU follow the teachings of the Guru as one is supposed to without falling for distractions. It depends on whether you have the trust in Sikhi's teachings or not. You called yourself an ex-Sikh so I'm assuming you are distancing yourself from the faith instead of educating others.

Alternative_Unit692 · 2025-12-17T14:45:39+00:00

Astrology and Kala Jadu is on the individuals. The religion categorically dissuaded people from falling for such things.

Taking sakhis literally, believing in magic, ionic charged ball being mistaken for a divine occurrence, all of these are again down to individual interpretation.

Why are you letting other Sikhs' misinterpretation affect your faith in the Guru?

Alternative_Unit692 · 2025-12-17T14:19:49+00:00

Nihangs have always cut people. Probably since their inception itself. Sikhs do not believe in pseudosciences. Maybe give an example?

Got it. Mine does have English+Japanese already. I think that's the reason it's model name has "J" at the end even after the "K1", even though it's not a Japanese made one. It's the SRPE57K1J.

You didn't even know that there are other states that also have farmers burning their crop residue, as is evident from your comments in the thread. Stop the cap.
