The principal belief in Sikhism is faith in one God — Vahigurū — represented using the sacred symbol of ik ōaṅkār. Sikhism advocates the pursual of salvation through disciplined, personal meditation on the name and message of God. The followers of Sikhism are ordained to follow the teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus, as well as the Gurū Granth Sāhib which includes selected works of numerous authors from diverse socioeconomic and religious backgrounds.

Divine Mathura says there does not exist any difference as Guru Arjan is manifestly the Lord Himself. I know it may be a futile endeavour to catch a glimpse of ‘The Light of all Lights’, ‘The Wisdom of all Wisdoms’ and ‘The Truth of all Truths’ that is my most beloved Satguru, Guru Arjan. Read more

Guru Arjan Dev Controversy and the Manipulated Indian History!

Last updated on: June 24, 2006 at 4:51 pm By Desh Kapoor

There has been enough controversy that was started sometime back on the Indian History's manipulation. At that time I used to say and rightly so that all that you need to know how the History has been manipulated by the "Secular Elite" in our country is to see how the Sikh History has been depicted in our History Books. For example, we have stuff on Jama Masjid and Taj Mahal as well as Red Fort. But what about Gurudwara Sis Ganj? This Gurudwara is of the same vintage as these Mughal monumentsw. The one thing that is important about this Gurudwara is that Guru Teg Bahadur's head as brought here after he was executed and beheaded by the Mughal Emperor. And this was very similar to other such executions - like Guru Teg Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh - that occured during the entire "oh-so-secular" Mughal Rule! Read more

Top 10 Things to Hate About India

Last updated on: June 23, 2006 at 5:37 pm By Desh Kapoor

Here is a nice article by Claude Arpi - a French journalist - on the things that he absolutely hates about India. He has been living in India for 3 decades and has written some very thought provoking articles on Indian society and dynamics. I thinking my Top 10 list of things I dislike about India would not be very different although not in the same order. In my case, our herd-mentality attitudes and lack of thinking rigor would probably come first! What is YOUR Top 10 list? 1. Power cuts: While typing this article, the electricity board cut off the power supply. The reason -- a storm last night which lasted for 15 to 20 minutes. 'As a precautionary measure' the officials very compassionately disconnected vast areas from the network in the night and the following morning. Read more
