I agree, homosexuality is a human condition. All religions, including the Holy Adi Granth, just pray love and respect all beings. Peace for everyone.

I agree, each to there own, problem is, that the effect of that cause, in a world full of prejudice, specially amongst followers of major religions, will most likely give you some bad experiences, especially if you want a approval stamp from others, as the messages I also get from this clip, don't mix in the two things, keep your sexuality private don't push it on others, who you should know are conditioned to believe it is evil or nasty, or they might just be ignorant, unless you do want the effect that follows that action, its like going out in front of a speeding truck running a red light because you got the law or right on your side IMHO sadly the world is not perfect and there are division everywhere, don't be a fool and let yourself become victim to that because of feelings

Great answer. I read on a forum that in Sikhi the inner light we all have has no gender. That inner light eventually joins akal purakh. So does it matter what our outter shell is? Male or Female.

Guru Granth Sahib the written words of 6 Sikh Gurus and around 30 saints, bards, minstrels of Indian subcontinent and the de facto guide and authority of Sikh philosophy states that all creation is created by God and if he took so much time in creating a person then we should respect that person. If God did not want any type of person to exist he would have chosen not to. About any type of sexuality it says that we should try to control our sexual urges regardless of orientation because physical lust eventually leads to other sinful activities. Sex should show in commitment, true love, responsibility, respect towards your partner and should be unconditional. It by and large does not specify any religion, caste, creed, nationality, color, sexuality etc. except when to state that such criteria is only a misconception and failing of the mind. Why people go on saying that this is homosexuality, that is bisexuality or we should curb or give rights to homosexuals or heterosexuals are worthless debates according to the Granth because such classifications should not have crept into the human mind in the first place.So be who you are and chill. Life is itself a journey meant to be enjoyed and not to indulge in such fruitless debates.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji does not discriminate against gays and when preforming the anand karaj its basically two souls that become one so it wouldn't matter if the marriage is between gay or straight couple. I understand what many are saying but in the Guru Granth Sahib it says that you are encouraged to start a family and have children and i believe that whenever theres mention of marriage, Guru Granth Shaib refers the marriage to be between a male and a female. Also if where encouraged to have children you can only have that between a male and a female. Theres probably a reason why there is two different genders so we could give birth to life so we have to put all are needs aside and see the truth through reading the Guru Granth Sahib

Sikhism at the root, more spiritual. Sikhism is also very progressive and tolerant, so the whole man can only be with woman thinking is not Sikhism. We love people, regardless of their sexuality, gender, race, caste, etc. Foundation of Sikhism is about acceptance. Two gays can raise a child lovingly and God would see nothing wrong with that.

really you know the mind of Guru ji and Waheguru then why do you need to become a sikh ? A sikh follows the Guru not the other way around .. if that is not palatable to you then maybe you need to find another path. Sikhi is about finding Waheguru and gaining union nothing else. The anand Karaj is the binding of two souls in mutual support to reaching the true Husband Akal Purakh not a moh/kaam driven relationship.

@jasbharj: "Being gay/lesbian comes under lust" Being gay is a sexual orientation in the same way that heterosexuality is. Being gay is no less "lustful" than being straight. Gay people can be famliy people too. Your comments stinks of quick assumptions and lack of appreciation of other people's experience and suffering. If you knew the subjective experience of being gay, you would be speaking a different tune.

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear"......Wahe Guru! A lifetime of being a 'spiritual misfit' with many 'issues' and some mental health difficulties. I recently asked God to please help me to stop these awful thoughts and memories I have been plagued with for most of my life. Literally within days of that plea for divine help I find your KZfaq channel and your advice about how to stop bad thoughts and already my mind is clear of clutter and the method so simple and so very powerful. I now realize that I have always been an 'undercover Sikh'. I learned a form of what I now know to be Shabd Yoga way back in the 80's not until now having the depth of the experience I am now having as a result of finding your work here on this channel. This video resonates with me as a gay man. I have found the worst of my problems come about because I seem to have internalized the negativity I have encountered from a number of people through my life. This realization has come about as a direct result of the beautiful sense of peace detachment and joy....you have inspired within me.......The Gurus Gift. Wahe Guru!!

@preetnagra I am certain it was not seen to be an issue in the Gurus time that is why they did not address it. Love is experienced, it is felt, and often there is a need to have a "union" with the person you are in love with. This may be "lust" in your eyes, but when two people are deeply in love with one another engaging in a union deepens attachment to all. Oh and do you mean a gay couple can live with one another, adopt a child and not engage in sex, and that is okay? There would be no lust

I think the question was addressed, but maybe not as directly as some might have hoped for. The crux was can you be a Sikh and be a homosexual. The two is different and then the question is can there be unity? I believe so. The Lust part applies to ANY sexuality or person, therefore having a monogamous faithful partner in a context of marriage (be it man-man, woman-man or woman-woman) allows one to express those sexual energies that the Guru spoke about but in a healhty way. Guru Nanak described living an "active, creative, and practical life" of "truthfulness, fidelity, self-control and purity" as being higher than the metaphysical truth. - In this I resonate with the speaker that Homosexuality Or in fact Heterosexuality has nothing to do with being Sikh - as the journey is to be closer to God, yet your sexuality is with you along on that journey, but it's NOT the destination.

Well one things needs to be recognized here and that is Sikhism is not about sexuality. While Sikh's do not discriminate against homosexuals, it is not something that a Sikh should think about. We need to focus on Seva, Bani, Simran, even for heterosexual Sikhs it is the same thing. Sex in Sikhi is only based on having kids it's not about the pleasure. Also to add if you are amritdhari you can not get married to same sex as you couldnt do anand karaj since Guru Granth Sahib Ji only supports a man and woman being married. If you were to not get married you could also not have sex anyways.

@@vulpes7079 Yea, here you go: Bhai Gurdas Jee - Vaar 6, Pauri 8 ਏਕਾ ਨਾਰੀ ਜਤੀ ਹੋਇ ਪਰ ਨਾਰੀ ਧੀ ਭੈਣ ਵਖਾਣੈ। Having one women as wife he (the Sikh) is a celibate and considers any other’s wife as his daughter or a sister. Clearly, a Guru’s Sikh (if male) is allowed only one woman as his spouse, vice versa a Sikh woman is allowed only one man as hers. We can argue and debate that there is no mention of not being allowed to marry within the same gender. However, the word “ਨਾਰੀ” clearly means “woman” and in this Vaar it does not in any way refer to a woman having another woman as her spouse. Lets look at another Vaar. Bhai Gurdas Jee - Vaar 34, Pauri 21 ਨਾਰਿ ਭਤਾਰਹੁ ਬਾਹਰੀ ਸੁਖਿ ਸੇਜ ਨਾ ਚੜੀਐ। Without husband a woman cannot enjoy pleasures of bed. This means two things. It doesn’t say that a woman cannot enjoy a bed without a man, it says “without a husband”. So firstly, a Sikh (male or female) can have a physical relationship only with their married spouse (via Anand Karaj). Secondly, it clearly talks about a woman and her husband, not a woman and “her wife”, not a man and “his husband”. Sahib Sri Guru Amar Daas Paatshaah Jee says in Raag Soohee on Ang 788: ਧਨ ਪਿਰੁ ਏਹਿ ਨ ਆਖੀਅਨਿ ਬਹਨਿ ਇਕਠੇ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਏਕ ਜੋਤਿ ਦੁਇ ਮੂਰਤੀ ਧਨ ਪਿਰੁ ਕਹੀਐ ਸੋਇ ॥੩॥ They are not said to be husband and wife, who merely sit together. They alone are called husband and wife, who have one light in two bodies. ||3|| Here (from my limited understanding so please correct me) ਧਨ refers to the wife and ਪਿਰੁ means husband. Sahib Sri Guru Nanak Dev Paatshaah Jee Maharaj says in Asa Ki Vaar on Ang 473 (one of the most favorite Shabads quoted to teach how Sikhi is about gender equality) ਭੰਡਿ ਜੰਮੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਨਿੰਮੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਮੰਗਣੁ ਵੀਆਹੁ ॥ From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. ਭੰਡਹੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਭੰਡਹੁ ਚਲੈ ਰਾਹੁ ॥ Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. ਭੰਡੁ ਮੁਆ ਭੰਡੁ ਭਾਲੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਬੰਧਾਨੁ ॥ When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. ਸੋ ਕਿਉ ਮੰਦਾ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿਤੁ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਰਾਜਾਨ ॥ So why call her bad? From her, kings are born. ਭੰਡਹੁ ਹੀ ਭੰਡੁ ਊਪਜੈ ਭੰਡੈ ਬਾਝੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥ From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all. ਨਾਨਕ ਭੰਡੈ ਬਾਹਰਾ ਏਕੋ ਸਚਾ ਸੋਇ ॥ O Nanak, only the True Lord is without a woman. Now notice how clear this Shabad is. The question “ਸੋ ਕਿਉ ਮੰਦਾ ਆਖੀਐ” is put to the men who look upon women as inferior. Why see her as inferior when “ਭੰਡਿ ਮੰਗਣੁ ਵੀਆਹੁ”, when a woman is the one you (you men) are engaged and married to. You men are bound with women “ਭੰਡਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਬੰਧਾਨੁ”. Bhagat Kabeer Jee says in Raag Gond on Ang 872: ਜੈਸੇ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਬਿਨੁ ਬਾਲੁ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥ Without a mother or father there is no child. In the pangti below, it is clearly stated that the physical relation is between a man and woman, not a man and man or woman and woman. ਇਸਤਰੀ ਪੁਰਖ ਕਾਮਿ ਵਿਆਪੇ ਜੀਉ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਬਿਧਿ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਣੀ ||

I'm not homosexual but I've always dealt with shame over sexual feelings and lust. I like how this man says that everything is sexual. He's right. Our entire existence is driven by sexual energy. Everything is duality. Even in the digital world, it is the binary code of 1s and 0s that make things work. God gave us sexual energy and capabilities. I've noticed that "fighting" against this desire only makes things worse. It creates a shame and guilt that puts you at a lower state of consciousness and when you have such low self worth, you are susceptible to overindulgence to make yourself feel better. It's a vicious cycle. I used the same method to overcome alcohol abuse. Don't fight the urges. Accept they are there and own them. Then they are under your control.

@gmustuk Because this was a non issue and hence needed no special mention. If love is the core subject of the matter then two men/women can still love each other without intercourse. Sex in Gurmat is 'just a tiny part' of a broader union between two opposite sexes and serves as a means to reproduce and not a source of pleasure. If it was otherwise I'm sure Gurus would have been pioneers in this as well and would have set an example exactly like they did with their shaheedis and other initiatives

Wow...This guru teaches with such deep wisdom. Sikhism is about non-discrimination and compassion for all. That is really inspiring! I guess when a religion's central teachings are not stained with discrimination and condemning segments of society (like toxic Judaism, Christianity and Islam), the message that flows from that belief system, as is Sikhism's, is toxic-free! Sikh's try to practice pure compassion.

As a bisexual, a transgender man and a Sikh, I really feel that gender has nothing to do with being Sikh. It's the human condition. Guru is within everyone. Waheguru

Such wisdom and good thoughts bhai sahib. I just have a query if someone could clear up for me please. We all know that Sikhism is a very practical religion. We all fall within the laws of nature and nature demands reproduction. How would it be possible in homosexuality? Dont get me wrong, Im not against it or any other way of life. I just have this question everytime I think about it.

As a conversation between two men, perhaps the real issue is unspeakable and.hard to define because it is patriarchal authoritarianism that insists on the cultural policing of gender and sex interpretation.

There are homosexual, gender-non-conforming gods from Hinduism in SGGS. I also believe that Kam is explained as if it were a conversation directed at a straight man. Aka, “sex without reproduction(love)” I believe is to tell men not to cheat, tell their wives to be faithful, as unfaithfulness is far more common of a “problem” if homosexuality can even be called a problem… (it can’t)

The judgement of homosexuality comes from the Old Testament, which produced Christianity, Islam, and Judeism. Sikhism sounds cool not to judge....

Honest question for any knowledgeable sikhs. So am I right to say that the God of sikhi condones the homosexual lifestyle? From the video that’s what I’m getting. Also, he says “who’s to judge the lifestyle, it’s your own affair“. Is this scriptural ?

It's not the least accepting he calls it perversion towards the end. Sex could be perversion but it could be holy as well but here it's only related to perversion. Marriages are celebrated and considered holy. But here it's depicted as one form of perversion. This false acceptance clearly shows what's inside of him. I had a gay friend who I met online and he said people will not understand this ever and asked me to not bother and after 15 years from that incident I always remember his words whenever I fall trap to such false acceptances. This was initially refreshing but then I was like hey wait this looks too good to be real and I should watch again for clues and there you go - towards the end he just relates it to one kind of perversion. Marriages are purified and retualized and what not but here.. pity!

Wow this was eye opening, I've never seen a sikh before and realising that they exist is something straight out of my nightmares, keep doing what you're doing and may God bless you! I pray I never dream of you again as I am looking to finally get some rest and respite from my waking dreams. Mashallah. 👳🏾

A lot of discourse to say not very much. Throughout he only introduces his own prejudices by reference to perversions and a more general view of sexuality. Does not get to the nub of the question which is what is the view of Sikhi on the subject of homosexuality? I don’t know the answer to this question as I’m not a theologian but he doesn’t address it at all.
