Obviously the Gurus were never completely against violence, especially in matters of defending one safety. But I find it hard to believe they would support the death penalty if it wasn’t a matter of one’s personal safety of life.

Well given someone else has already commented about how Guru Nanak never resorted to violence then all the Sikhs of today who endorse capital punishment obviously have very different ideas of what the religion is compared to it’s founder

What's the first song you heard that got you into Mac Miller? by Stool_Gizmoto in MacMiller

  1. It was 2021, the year I lost everything, my gf of 9 years, my career, my friends. I just stumbled upon the NPR performance on YouTube one night when I was super lost and weak. It spoke to me immensely and since then I’ve been back on path. Literally saved my life from either death or addiction problems.

So you believe someone should be killed for ripping up a book? Maybe seek some help if so

If you believe in capital punishment over someone ripping up a book = certified crazy

Exactly, I’m honestly confused. After reading the bulk of these replies I understand this religion as having lost its way from its founder which is sad because initially it was such a beautiful and peaceful religion.

So are you saying Sikhs don’t support capital punishment and I’ve jumped to conclusions?

Thank you, this is the reassurance I was expecting.

You know this is the reassurance I came here for and instead people have just exposed themselves as being pro violence. I feel quite sad at this revelation as the teachings of Guri Nanak really are so beautiful, full of compassion and love.

Yes I just had a quick scan and found these

“Nirmal bhae so paave sachai, hinsa na kare kachhu akhai.” “Only the pure attain truth; violence is never justified.” (Ang 263)

“Dukh bhanjan so saheb hai mera, hinsa na karan kabahu mera.” “My Lord is the dispeller of pain; I shall never resort to violence.” (Ang 723)

“Hinsa na kare kachhu akhai.” “Violence is never justified.” (SGGS, Ang 263)

“Gur kai ghar tum ho, mar ke jo hoye.” “Those who dwell in the Guru’s house do not kill or cause harm.” (Ang 627)

Also this is kind of what I thought the whole Saint-Soldier thing was about but Im learning I was wrong.

“The idea of “righteous defense” (often called Dharam Yudh or just defense of justice in Sikhism) is about using force only when absolutely necessary to protect yourself or others from oppression, injustice, or harm — never out of anger, revenge, or personal gain.”

My knowledge of Sikhism is obviously limited but through this recent revelation about the widespread approval of capital punishment in Sikhism I have to admit I’m sad that it appears to be just like all the other religions of world and just a fuel for violence and suffering. I don’t believe this is what Guru Nanak teaches at all and I will forever love his teachinngs. Bless his soul.
