As a Catholic the more I learn abut Sikhism the more I genuinely respect it. God bless the Sikhs.
#Chris D , thanks dear.❤❤😊
Chris D theres a factual story based on ture life events in which once again the brave shik army gave there live at a signal post to save 2 western ladys they had never met! Bless the people of the turban.
I am a sikh. God bless catholics
I am Catholic myself and I have similar feelings about Sikhism. I admire their beliefs and dedication to them.
I have a story with my Sikh neighbors. In 2004 I had serious back surgery, once I came home from the hospital, who was the first persons who checked in on me? My Sikh neighbors, now without naming names I will phrases like husband, wife, sons. The husband insisted on taking my grocery list so the wife could do my shopping for me and she also cooked several of my meals "Yummy", she also even did most of my laundry for me!!! The son mowed my lawn, checked my mail until I was able to walk on my own. The husband helped me get to and from several of my my rehab sessions. After I was able to do everything on my own, I offered to pay them back some how and the husband said that would be an insult if they accepted. We still live here in Dallas, Texas USA across the street from each other and yes, this is a real life story and these people are not only my friends but they're an extension of my loyal family.
That's such a nice story.
God bless them.
I have grown to really admire the Sikhs.

I've never had a problem with sikhs because of the equality trait to their faith. I like that.
Very tolerant.
A Sikh person that used to go to my school made my class mates Muslims , Christians, and Jews come to peace and not fight which I thought was pretty amazing

I'm from Brazil and i respect the Sikhs.
God bless you all.
Sink is not a toy and yes I'm not the one who sampled who played with no playing games and no hard hours no setting dates for sink
I am a Christian and not going to change that. I applaud the Sikhs for their long and proven heritage of decency, charity and productivity. Every community that welcomes Sikhs benefits by their presence. The world is made better by them.
Zafarnama - you latched onto the least important part of my brief post. My identity as a follower of Christ is simply a part of who I am. But the post of the post is to offer praise to the Sikhs for their proud heritage.
Sir our forefathers have sacrifsed themself for other's religion as well we also dont want anyone to change their religion without their wish

Sikhism is against forced conversion anyways .
Have a nice day anyways bro.
Hi Morgan, I find Christianity and Sikhism very similar in the core message of peace and love. There are cultural differences among Sikhs & Christians, but core religious message of Sikh Gurus & Jesus Christ of serving others, helping others, religious tolerance and belief in God are so similar. I would say the World is made better by both Sikhs and Christians :).
Take Care. Love to all.
the only problem about religions is the ones that demonize the others,,normaly thats christians ,like when they invaded india they brought back a name from egyptian times,and called the indian peoples Deva"s "Devils" if your not "with them" your against them",,also find the difference between western and eastern views,is western its based on faith,in eastern its based on self discovery and personal evolution,,people without a self evolution view are just following sheep who will stay in "clay" and not find the light that is enlightenment..i know as i evolved,and can explain one thing about enlightenment "the ego (the guy i think i am,with my lifes story called stu) can never see enlighenment,,he dropped away and the higher mind takes over....
What an awesome presentation. I have always respected your faith. I am a Mescalero Apache Indian here in Arizona and send Peace and Friendship.
It's not because of their religion, it's because people's lack of knowledge about the sikhs
I was born and raised in the central valley- I know that many pistachio farms are owned by Sikhs and in nearby Selma, Sikhs own a grape/raisin vineyard that makes sunmade raisins. There's a bunch of Sikhs here, so I always knew about their culture. I admit that I was ignorant to the fact that I thought they were arab but i later knew that I was way off and not even close.
They are great farmers and have a good relationship with the mexican american community. My pediatrician was Sikh and so is my current veterinarian.
In fact this religion was born out of Hinduism just to tackle massacre by Muslims. The eldest son in Hindu family was sent to a Guru who taught life values and how to defend oneself. This is how sikhs were born. son of one of 10 gurus of Sikhs was beheaded after his heart carved out in front of his father Sikh Guru by Muslims, How can a Sikh be seem as Muslims. One who treat sikhs as Muslim are a top level of Hypocrite.
Rohit Kumar shut up with your false news‼️. Sikh firstGuru abandoned Hindu culture and was very clear to start new faith sikhi. I’m a sikh n my sincere we’re Persian not Hindus my ancestors adopted the Sikh faith !!! We have a different religion , different identity different culture everything stop your jealousy !!
I love and have great respect for the Sikh community here in the UK. They always look out for anyone and help when needed. Great people xx
#Rach M , thanks for your lovely comment ❤😊
Thanks for this informative video. I have eaten plenty of food provided by Sikhs at the temple in Vancouver.
that's random
CatBen4002 Have you ever heard of Sikh langar?
It is not random in any way.
I want to learn more about sikhism, it really resonates with me.
Jack Stone watch a CZcams channel called basics of sikhi. They will answer ur questions
Even atheists believe Jesus Christ existed. He was, after all, a proper man.
KnightWalker no
KnightWalker Sikhs respect the belief but we don't believe in him
Jack Stone so was Muhammad , budda and Guru Nanak
I just LOVE these people. Humble, respectful, loving and caring, and FIERCE in battle ! Much respect for you.
I don't know why, but these made me cry a little. I feel proud and admire this Sikh information movement. I have many Sikh classmates in post-graduate school in Canada and I can say that are really good people.
Wow!
Wow!
The only religion of peace
FSM brother. Aint no war in a comforting bowl of pasta, R'amen!
It isn’t exactly a true religion of peace and it has its maniacs but it’s certainly 1,000,000,000 Times better than Islam.
#SEaster IslanderS , it is a religion of peace. In the beginning SIKHS sacrificed themselves for bringing peace in india by defeating muslims and save hinduism.. We fought for others, never fought to fulfil our greed..
WRONG - I'm a Christian Sikh - and that isn't TRUE - PURe TRIPE. if the BIBLE says THOU SHALL NOT KILL... THERFORE - Satan's responsible, and you people with Uniforms are too.. and your leaders... more wars from athiests then religions - if you don't believe the TRUTH - you don't have the truth... study - you're words ACCUSE every person in another religion as all WICKED and not for PEACE.
Why don't you shut your hole slanderer, accuser - LAME
That's something I can fallow.
I was in California for two years with my church and while I was out there Sikhs were some of the friendliest people to me. One man even walked up to me with a smile on his face and gave me a hug. Just out of the blue! They really do have my respect and I would be happy to call any Sikh a friend. Besides that, I think my religion and theirs get along just fine when it comes to beliefs. They are not exactly the same, but there are many similarities.

Thank-you this was really helpful I have to ready a 10minute presentation on Sikhism and this was extremely helpful toward my research.
sikhs are awesome
not all of them
I had friend married sikh guy ..his family's they knew about me . but the married guy ..he didn't wanted just to he friend he wanted me to his sex friend behind his sikh wife with 3 kids ..and he said my wife doesn't brush teeth ..
anna banana... you must be very beautiful for him to be overcome by lust
Sikhs are really brave.
We are bro.
Satpal Singh sikhs are the real builders of india...
palu patil humanity not India that was created by British!!
The Sikhs are awesome, hard working, brave warriors, and very generous to society/poor.
Great people and religion .
well respected
yes that why they use white girls for fun and marry own . only few sikhs married white girls

shame more people dont follow these beliefs as the world would be a beautiful place to live in
Just read an article on NPR about The Sikh Coalition. I have to be honest that I didn't know about Sikhs before this. Thanks for opening my eyes to this beautiful religion. 😊
#Simona Curkoska , thanks dear❤
I know NOTHING about it. I see that there is a HUGE
difference between Sikh and Muslim
Miss Robin Martz You Could check out basics of sikhi on CZcams for more.We have nothing to do with Muslims or Islam
islam, judiasm, and christianity are abrahamic religions - sikhism is not
el darro yes because we believe that God is within all of ous and heaven and hell are only state of minds.
too many religions to choose from - but from what I've read, the only one to really avoid is linked to a Mr T Cruise
Navneet Singh tbh that sounds pretty stupid. Heaven and hell a state of mind? God is within all of us?
So all the crimes in this world were committed by god then... 🥴
A very good short video. Thanks to the organizers.
Im protestant but I think this is my favourite religion! Respect.
i admire you Sikhs first as a Warrior Race which i endear to my heart next as hard working people and no bullshit approach to life.You are fantastic folks and i wish i could kick the shit out of my own people to be more like you folks...
Sikh is one of the minority race in my Country. From young, the majority of people in my Country don't called them Sikh or Punjabi. We just called them "Singh", or playfully our "Brother Singh". Respect to this gentle people. Just don't try their bravery. If you've seen the documentary about the "Honey Badger", the Singh and the Gurkha are like the "Honey Badger", keep going and going and going (Duracell Bunny Advert).
#michaelandlucifer lovely comment.❤😊
I like Sikhs.
Sat Sriya AKal Sare Aanu
Awesome! thank you!
Great video told good information
i totally agree with your values and beliefs . keep the eye opening videos coming so more people can see your light and live the same way
Wow what a beautiful religion! 💗🙏
I’m here in 2019 educating myself after the jesswiththemess incident. Great video and I learned a lot.
physically Hindus are about 5 foot tall they are short, Sikhs are a more beautiful race, tall,stronger and more brave
Ocavi Cabavi ❤❤😊
I am a hindu 5 foot 11 inch and my friend is Taller and handsome then me
you got any problam
I live in a touristic city, whenever I meet Sikhs, I always have a friendly chat with them. Sikhism is the sole monotheism that achieves internal and external balance and avoids us and them opposition. This very trait is why I feel affection for the people who serve by virtue of their belief.
High 5 to all you Sikhs I only wish you peace and prosperity
Awesome Video !
Great presentation! Always had a good impression of this faith, glad to know more
Wonderful video!
The video is a great way to enlighten others about Sikhism. Good work guys.
But one thing I found not up-to the mark about the video were the embedded subtitles. The are a lot of errors in the subtitles. I would suggest you guys to make the corrections asap. Thanks
Manmeet Khurana Captions/subtitles all fixed! Thanks:)
"Unfortunately Information is not something most people In the west are interested in!WE are stupid as shit!I"m tired of western culture and life in the west. I've lost my faith in humanity!Good thing I'm a Donkey!"
stfu man..im a muslim and u are offending me...our religon means peace so stop making a big offend on islam...ISLAM IS JUST A RELIGION OK....
Wtf you on about?
Stay based Sikh's. America welcomes you.
Great short and informative video
This is beautiful...thanks for the knowledge

Sikhs are awesome! In UK they are wery liked and well intigrated people from what i understand. They fought along the brits in wars. Sikhs seems very proud people and are almost more patriotic about UK than most english people it seems.
I worked with two people who were of Sikh faith. They were always kind, gentle, wonderful, people. Now I understand why.
Nanak Shah Fakir Film if shown in Schools would done way more
John Smith since he was portrayed by a real person and Sikhs believe that they can't be portrayed by a simple man
Lovely People.
Please correct this:
Guru Granth Sahib ji is not just for Sikhs - it is a universal Message for all beings of this Universe. Please give the full and real message.
lol
beautifully said brother, I'm reading the Guru Granth right now and have already found it to be of merit
Harpreet Singh the guy did good mate. there is bound to be faults even in the best intended videos. let's not split hair but try to encourage them to do better. great job guys.
@@Togepi-tj8kr
Stupid
You are right brother.
Good Video. Very to the point.
i love how supportive people our to our religion
god bless waheguru
Amazing
Great vid very informative Now more about the foods Sikhs prepare and enjoy for their celebrations
It’s beautiful thanks
I love this video.
Better than nothing, but it fails to evoke empathy and fails to share the Cool things of Sikhi. The readers failed to evoke enthusiasm, the read mechanically
I've had the pleasure of working with several Sikhs and they were always great people!
i love these people
Amazing work! #SikhAwareness
To all my Sikh friends Sat Sri Akal Ji.
Thank you.
Thank you very much! We practice virtue as it leads to the benefit of self and others. Please welcome!
A shining example in our community , honorable loyal friends .
I am not a religious man, but if I was, I think I appreciate sikhism the most.
I wish more people knew the differences of cultures before generalizing
Awesome
I think there are 1430 pages of GGS not 1230 as mentioned by a guy in the video.
Jaswinder Sandhu Yes. We corrected the error in the captions. Thank you!
The Sikh Coalition. ''We corrected the error in the captions '' In first place , That mistake should have never been done.
Dumbasses. God did not create anyone EQUAL. Nothing in nature is equal. People are different with different attributes.
Equality under the LAW is far different than biological equality which DOES NOT EXIST in nature.
@54321Truth I believe you are misinterpreting the meaning of the statement. Sikhism believes in equality between all people in that one person is not inherently because of their religion, gender, caste, skin color, etc. Of course people have their own unique aptitudes and abilities, but the point Sikhi makes is that just because one is SIkh doesn't automatically make one better than a Hindi or a Muslim (or vice versa). Or just because one is a man doesn't mean one is automatically superior than a woman.
Men tend to be stronger than women, yes, though you'll certainly find that there are women who are stronger than many men in terms of physical strength, and so my statement still stands. But I was using "superior" in a general sense - a man is not guaranteed to be better than a women in skill, intelligence, social standing, etc based solely on gender. Of course there are biological differences between men and women, but I am not a better person than all women just because I am a man.
I did miss a word in my previous post - "one person is not inherently *better* because of their religion, gender, caste, skin color, etc." The historical origin of this is that women were denied certain privileges, people of certain castes were seen as socially and spiritually superior, and people of different religions were persecuted simply because of their faith. Thus, the statement of equality between people is meant to promote equal opportunity. Actions and deeds are more important than the superficial aspects of gender, caste, and skin color.
If I wasn't my religion I'd Def be sikh, I've never met a negative one
#Moriah Hill , dear every religion is good and pure. The only thing makes difference is how you follow its believes..
I spelled CZcams wrong I apologize fixing CZcams name and update a frame
I gew up with Sikhs living on the same block as me they were awesome always had treats for us and we're part of the whole group my block was basically all my fam like literally
I have never met one and I would like to learn about them and their values.
Waheguruji
I actually learned something. I was 90% sure the dude at my corner store was Sikh, but after moving to America a lot of Sikhs try to blend in to local townships. His iron bracelet is always on though.
i had been to Amritsar for a business many years ago for a week. my impression is; honest and hospitable people.
Let's make it in all languages. Good job. Badai
I proud to be sikh
🌟💫🙏🙏🙏
who are the sikhs? the people who look the most badass in aviators
Sikhs in Canada own lot of farms such as fruit farms and wheat farms. They’re very hard workers and wealthy .
You are the best can do a lot of things and videos
What does your religion say about self defense? It is very interesting to learn about sikh culture and I was curious about this.
To defend oneself be armed and defend others- we will not tolerate oppression and are ready to fight any terrorists or bad people. Sikhs should have no regard for their life as dying defending oneself or others in a righteous way is the best way to go.
Thanks for sharing this video. Why aren’t all the people wearing turbans in the video? I’m just curious
Thumbs up from christananity keep up the work
Ok, this is something I've been struggling with because I do not want offend or hurt anyone but I have a serious question: is it offensive to find the turban sexy?
Anne they cant censor your thoughts. Yet.
Anne haha! No it’s not offending...I am a sikh!!!
I find Sikh culture very interesting with a proud and honorable history. It's horrible that many here in America faced persicution after 9-11. These were shameful actions born out of fear and ignorance. All the more hurtful being against a people who themselves have been long oppressed by Muslims. I have to admit my own ignorance as to Sikh religion and beliefs, but one thing I have found remarkable and unique of their faith is their refusal to denounce and condemn other religions. I always thought all religions bad-mouthed all the other ones. Sikhs are very respectful of other beliefs. The world would be a far better place if more people thought like that.
In fact this religion was born out of Hinduism just to tackle massacre by Muslims. The eldest son in Hindu family was sent to a Guru who taught life values and how to defend oneself. This is how sikhs were born. son of one of 10 gurus of Sikhs was beheaded after his heart carved out in front of his father Sikh Guru by Muslims, How can a Sikh be seem as Muslims. One who treat sikhs as Muslim are a top level of Hypocrite.
Sikhism always about respect our self and other. Remains pure.
Such a great video!
You're doing good job grandson very good job I see you very soon doing very good job thank you
If someone really feels they need to have a religion, this certainly sounds like one of the better ones to have. Don't get me wrong. I'm certainly not encouraging anyone to be religious... but I recognize that some people see it as a need, and there are certainly many religions to chose from so if they're going to have a religion, I would say it's better to have one that encourages equality and doesn't threaten people over the possibility of giving up their religion. I don't know if that properly describes this religion, but it sounds like it does. Of course, there are bound to be people in any religion who will define it in a way that others of that same religion would not agree with, so the ultimate test of a theistic religion, and especially a monotheistic religion, would be to let the religion's god speak for itself about its opinion with regard to that religion. With that in mind, I invite the god of the Sikh religion to reply here doing just that and to message me on Twitter letting me know it posted a reply here.
If someone cares to join, they are welcome. They can also stay as they are and learn more about the truth of their own faith by understanding what sikh faith teaches. Basic things are common in all faiths, sometimes just covered up by nonsense over a long time.
im a sikh and im pround
interesting
I feel protected and safe every time I have my Kara on.
I studied the religion and have high respect for the religion. Most people don’t know how large the religion is.

It could have been a great training video for Americans and the rest of the world.
Besides the stone-face readers as noted by the commentator, Dude 10659, there are some fatal errors that can compromise the struggle Sikhs are going through in America:
1. "Sikhs are experiencing violence...because of their religion". The violence is triggered by their APPEARANCE rather than their religion in people who associated Sikhs with middle-eastern people.
2. At 1.09 min run time: "The first Asian congressman was a Sikh named...". The image associated with this comment shows the clean shaved south Asian congressman. Calling him Sikh in this presentation is like adding a poison dart to the cause. He may have been born in a Sikh family but he is not only an apostate, he renounced Sikhism. To know more one may read his autobiography. The reference to Saund must be removed to make this video worth anything.
3. At 2.54 run time: "Khalsa is a group of Sikhs...." There is no group of Sikhs. Are you trying to divide the Sikhs? That would be insidious and greatly harmful for the cause for which this video is purported to present.
4. At 3.22 - 3.39. About 5K's: Where do you get the idea that only the baptized Sikhs are required to carry 5K's. ALL Sikhs are required to carry 5K's. Kachehra is described as underpants. That is ignorant and silly. It was NOT meant to be underpants. It was like breeches to give the Sikh mobility in the very harsh and hostile environment (and a substitute for Dhoti).
Ricardo Santos part of the elites game....how you think the keep the Bilderberg meetings on the hush.... divide and rule and silent weapons (entertainment)
It's obvious that many uneducated people will discriminate against Sikhs because they cannot differentiate between Sikhism and Islam. The one that is getting all the bad press by the media. It may be purely down to appearance, but appearance is one of the main reasons as to why people discriminate regardless. The only issue I see here is a video with likely American-born Sikhs, claiming Sikhs have the same values as Americans. They would say that, wouldn't they. That may not always be true when it comes to Sikhs from other countries
Kamaljeet Dogra. maybe you can answers my question can anybobby be Sikhism member dose matter ithnity? I'm curious I have heard about Sikhism 2 years ago by a friend of mine he lives up in the Los Gatos mountains

Hi Jahusa,
To be a Sikh is pretty easy. Live by 3 principles: 1) Naam jupna (Recite God's name) 2) Kiret Kurna (Work for a living) 3) Vund chhukna (share with others). Here's some detail:
- Daily meditation (morning & evening) for may be a couple mins to remind yourself of ONE God, the creator and care taker of all. All humanity is ONE RACE. And that all religions, all people equal. We are not better, and no one is bad.
- You have to commit to standing up for Freedom, Independence and Equality not just for yourself, but for others, and especially for the weak and the needy. Now if you believe in American Values (Land of the Free and home of the Brave) you are almost there :). The turban many Sikhs wear is for a very distinct reason. Its a crown. So live like a king. You wear it like a policeman's uniform. Any body can ask you for help. Commitment to help those in need.
- Do seva (service). If you go to a Sikh Gurdwara (temple) you can learn easier by watching. You'll find people cleaning shoes, or cooking food, or cleaning dishes. You can join them :). If you plan to clean dishes, clothes get splashed with soap and water. You'll get an apron, but carry a spare shirt along :).
- In Sikhism, your relationship with God is considered direct and unhindered. There's no priest-hood in Sikhism. There are people who read and sing the scriptures, but they are NOT priests. They are readers. They are employees of the Gurdwara. There is no fixed congregation. Everybody is welcome. You just have to observe the decorum & disciple.
- To be true, Gurdwara is not a temple. It actually means Guru-Dwara, i.e. Guru's Door, that's open to every body whether you believe in religion or God or not. SInce Punjabi & English/Spanish are part of the Indo-European pool of languages, you'll find many phonetic similarities.
Take care.

Must be distinguished from our Muslim brothers sisters. Sikhs keep their beared and moustaches uncut and tie a turbun on their head. Most humble and compassionate human being in this universe. I recommend all human beings to visit at least once in life time GOLDEN TEMPLE in the northern state Punjab and city AMRITSAR.
