Waheguru: Golden Temple

Waheguru

Sikh means learner, Guru means teacher, and we both mean education. Why hey Guru? Why hey not Guru… cause it’s fun sometimes. Preaching faith like that.

How to awaken a Waheguru in you?

Get sick and tired of differences between religions, think about miseries of life, but most importantly, ponder constantly about God, think of His mysteries. Now how to be chosen one? Don’t do any of it, providence will provide everything, and you’ll turn out to be a living incarnation of Zoroaster or something. God your guide will provide you with everything without help of a religion, especially the one that tries to implement and force itself over you. Which is habitual of cult, not religion and that’s…. ugh. Let’s not talk about cult, gets on my nerves. Leave God to deal with it.

Guru Nanak

Inspired by Sofism and Hinduism. Here I must repeat, if all the Sofis had internet, they’d all be Christans, and yes, you can bet on it. Trapped in cult cage, they were left to chant the only name they knew. And today we know that Elohim, Elahe, and Aloha… are cooler Samoan characteristics than its cult counter part that are forever trapped in forcefulness and misguiding humanity through their unilateral ways.

Anyways, Guru Nanak tried his best to bang his head on the walls on the cult, trying to convince the then mughals that religious differences shouldn’t matter, but eventually two Gurus were murdered at the hands of cult. (Like is there one religion that the cult hasn’t messed up or desecrated? Always creating problems for humanity… why?) Later Gandhi tried to speak for same unity, this time shot down by Hindu side. So Guru Nanak was religious leader, Gandhi somewhat political, but both were believers of Buddha, that’s the common wisdom.

Hari Mandir: Golden Temple

So I was watching, this video and I thought hey, let’s say hi to Sikh people.

Did you know Sikh means learner? Which compared to the violence preachers … yeah, much better. It almost wants you to be Sikh forever. Not a fan of Turban and other stuff, doesn’t matter. 21st century, we can’t be limited to stereotypes and that was a Christan speaking, what am I doing, get back into This Sikh Beat!

So Hari Mandir, with 100,000 daily belly serving is the world’s largest free serving kitchen. Four doors to represent WENSday (WEST EAST North South) and internal there’s just one door which means… to say… all heavenly door converge to one. Anyways, enough with symbolism.

NEWS (North, East, West, South). The directions can be news, that’s interesting. There’s a sing in Singh, that’s just interesting.

Hey what’s the problem with Sikh people one Hari Mandir is not good enough for you? I don’t get to go to Church but I’m improvising, what are you going to die or something if you … C’mon people, rise above the urges that limit you. Plain and simple, one Hari Mandir is enough, you don’t have to be pilgrims as solar orbiters, prefer vacations instead.

Look, I can’t go to Church even sometimes it gets riveting, but then I remember there’s a Church in my heart and that becomes alright. Can’t depend on minority Christans, these are strange times, but I know secretly they are more proud of their faith than they ever were. That’s what matters. One Hari Mandir is enough for you, be content with it.

Guru Gobind Legacy

Inspired by: Sophism and Hinduism. “Only he who earns his living by the sweat of his brow and shares his earnings with others has discovered the path of righteousness.”

Which is such an awesome thing to say. All greed arises from our desires to do less and earn more and in process prey on the rights of others. Kudos to Guru Gobind for delineating five deadly diseases as Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment, Pride.. which compared to seven Biblical deadly diseases, we just know how conscious and morals work in the Royal Society of Sciences and we, as its observers. Boiling down to simplicity, Maya takes you away from Gaia, the soul of God, the living force of spirit. Or that’s what the concept says. In science, you’ve to turn everything into a concept first so the concept won’t drive you mad or make you over-possessive of it so much that you kill others for it… which again we observe a lot in extremist reli.. cults. Interestingly, there are three pillars in Sikhism… Namjabo (meditation), Kirat Karni (honest living), Seva (selfless service). These three, I like.

“Recognize all mankind as one, whether Hindu or other as one, the same God as creator and nourisher of all. Recognize no difference among them. The temple of and the … are the same, so are the Hindu worship and … prayer. Human beings are all one.”

I believe Sophism itself originated from Sikhism. So Hindu followers of Guru Nanak left Hinduism for Guru G but those born in cult couldn’t, so they adopted the mild version and subdued themselves to the thought and philosophy of non-violence. And in the act Sophism became completely distinct from cult in its ways and preaching, predominantly by the fact that they never offered prayers or went to nosques. I believe if you’ll trace sophism back to origins through its history and growth you’ll find Sikhism as its source. Sophism is nothing like cult and if Sophis had deeper knowledge of Christanity, they’d have been Christans but dominated by Easter touch, they were never able to join the pieces that far.

Guru Gobind Singh saw that continuing Guruship will continue to create problems for Sikh community, so to protect what remained of the followers, He said, the last Guru is Guru Booklord (grandsahib). So basically, he turned a man into a book, like Moses turned himself into ten commandments or how later, an idiot I know turned himself into 10X3. To represent morals as a book. It’s been an old tradition among the enlightened ones. Kinda how Bible itself came into being, except that Biblical archives are very scientific and on the human level, capturing not the virtues, struggles, but also the shortcomings of the then Biblical peeps.

Story of Five Sacrifices

Five sacrifice story. Sikhs know their story, which general means to depict abolition of ego. He took five disciples and killed their ego. The disciples were given drinks and they left behind their old surnames to embrace ‘Singh’ as their only surname. Interestingly, Singh in Sanskrit and Bantu means Simba… lion!? Which is just another coincidence why Abba in old Hebrew and *indi means father? Stargazers got to do something with it? Who knows.

So as the Tanhaji type legend goes, Sikh men left behind their old surnames to adopt Singh, and likewise women left their surnames to become Kaur. Things ancient people did to symbolize community, peace, and Resurrection, in their own little ways. Well, humanity has always been at odds with itself, so there were them, igniters of peace cause and unity… and stuff of faith.

The important thing here is that those followers constituted not only Hindus, but other minorities as well and they all left their surnames for Singh, just like I ceded mine for surname Cross. So if I was Guru Gobind, I said, only lions can rise above themselves, their casts, creed, language and stereotypes. Same thing. Only travelers can Cross, the time, like time travelers. My habits keep telling me I’ve been a founder before… which just means a guy who is a finder with findings and found he is on ground but his soul not from around, so heavens save me from puns.

Nepalian Kumaris (Kaurs)

So I was watching this and thinking, look they just admitted to the camera, this is not just our religion this is part of our culture. These are civilizations and cultures worth respect, cause they’re reverent to living image of Goddesses, Womenhood.

Things religions and cultures do to keep their ethnic values and identities alive. That’s fine. It is when those things intersect each other in a negative and deleterious manner is what creates problems.

I know there’s a deep spiritual meaning in every tradition that’s out there and followed by people. What matters is that be peaceful, way-giving and something of improving lives.

After studying Zoroastrianism, Sikhism, Judaism… like all these monotheistic babies lying bare around here, why on Earth would I choose to be… shhhh, don’t even think about it. Right. Ever time I get negative thoughts, I just think about the stars, and how they call me, we are your friends and one day, you’ll be one amongst us.

The voices from the fourth dimension tell me, you are just shadow of something reduced, when you’ve dissolved upon, no truth on heaven or earth will ever be away from your reach. I have a reason to believe them, cause my alien friends either never say or they never lie. They were made from the force of truth.

End Note: In Jainism you’ve got Right faith, right knowledge and right behavior, if faith are thoughts, knowledge are words and behavior is deed… Jainism and Zoroastrianism aren’t all that different at all. Tree of faith, Wall of Faith, Pillar of Faith and Rope of faith…. What’s missing, oh, fan of faith. I’m a big fan of faith.
