Introduction

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Welcome to the New Sikhi section of www.VikramKhalsa.com!

        As some of you may know, the original Sikhi section of this website contained a list of links to information on Sikhi from all around the web. This collection featured over 1000 articles and pages about various Sikhi related topics from different websites,  organized by subject. The purpose of this section was to make it easy to for people find information on Sikhi from one location. I put that together in 2006 – since then, the amount of resources on the internet has increased exponentially and search engines have also improved dramatically, making this list unnecessary and irrelevant.

This section will now have a different purpose – it gives me a way to organize and express my thoughts and ideas about Sikhi, and provides a way for me to share things I learn with others.

I’d like to firstly make a disclaimer: I am not an authority on Sikhi, nor am I a knowledgeable gursikh or anything of the sort. Most of the words expressed here will be my thoughts and opinions based on the words of more knowledgeable and respected gursikhs, books, lectures, kathas, etc, and my limited interpretation of Gurbani. I will try my best to stay in line with Gurmat, but nobody is perfect. Therefore if I make any mistake or say something that hurts anybody, please do forgive me.  Any imperfection or flaw is my own, not Guru Sahib’s. My intent is only to share with others so that we can all progress further on this path. The content here will vary anywhere from Gurbani Veechar to Sikh Philosophy. Please do share your thoughts and input.  I’m sure that I will learn a lot from this experience and I hope everyone will find something here that is useful or new to them.

ਗੁਣਾ ਕਾ ਹੋਵੈ ਵਾਸੁਲਾ ਕਢਿ ਵਾਸੁ ਲਈਜੈ ||
One who has a basket of fragrant virtues, should enjoy its fragrance.

ਜੇ ਗੁਣ ਹੋਵਨਿ੍ਹ ਸਾਜਨਾ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਾਝ ਕਰੀਜੈ ||
If my friends have virtues, I will share in them.

ਸਾਝ ਕਰੀਜੈ ਗੁਣਹ ਕੇਰੀ ਛੋਡਿ ਅਵਗਣ ਚਲੀਐ ||
Let us form a partnership, and share our virtues; let us abandon our faults, and walk on the Path.

ਪਹਿਰੇ ਪਟੰਬਰ ਕਰਿ ਅਡੰਬਰ ਆਪਣਾ ਪਿੜੁ ਮਲੀਐ ||
Let us wear our virtues like silk clothes; let us decorate ourselves, and enter the arena.

ਜਿਥੈ ਜਾਇ ਬਹੀਐ ਭਲਾ ਕਹੀਐ ਝੋਲਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਜੈ ||
Let us speak of goodness, wherever we go and sit; let us skim off the Ambrosial Nectar, and drink it in.

ਗੁਣਾ ਕਾ ਹੋਵੈ ਵਾਸੁਲਾ ਕਢਿ ਵਾਸੁ ਲਈਜੈ ||੩||
One who has a basket of fragrant virtues, should enjoy its fragrance. ||3||
