In one of your response to a question you wrote:

"Khalistan is not a teaching of any of the Gurus. We do not need Khalistan. Our way is not to separate ourselves from each other. We are to be living as one creation of the One Creator."


But Guru Gobind Singh Ji said RAJ KAREGA KHALSA, so what would be the name of Khalsa Raj? Khalistan? or you believe that it wouldn't come true? Wouldn't that seperate us from stupid anti-sikhism Hindus which would be good? Do you not want Khalsa Raj?

Guru Ka Sikh
Khalistani

The core idea behind a Sikh homeland is politics in this age of maya (illusion). A religion in today's world can not flourish without it's own country. In addition, Sikhs are live a substandard life in their very own country, India! If Sikhs in India had true equality, then maybe Khalistan would not be needed. This is a very deep discussion and can not be adequately responded by me alone.

Your second question reflects a common misunderstanding. RAJ KAREGA KHALSA does not imply that Sikhs will be the rulers of some country or some world or anything of the sort. The RAJ does not imply some kind of material kingdom. KHALSA does not imply Sikhism. RAJ KAREGA KHALSA implies that people that are pure and true of heart will in the end be the true rulers of their own lives. They will live a life free of maya and worldly pleasures. They will be the true rulers of life.

Gur Fateh,
