On Sunday February 5, presenter Gagan Deep Singh gave us the history of Sikhism and described its origin and development beginning in 1469. Included are sound tracks from two videos; one is an interview explaining the significance of wearing a turban, the other is a visit to the Golden Temple at Amritsar. After listening to this podcast, Gagan was not satisfied with his answer to some questions asked by one of our members. He asked us to include the following clarification: "I... apologize for not properly understanding the question asked by Bruno during the presentation. After listening to the podcast, I thought I should add the clarification.
I believe having respect and compassion towards all God's creation. As per the Sikh belief, God lives both within and outside its creation. All Sikh Gurus worked for the equality of Mankind. Guru Gobind Singh Ji said, "Recognize all Human race as one". Therefore, in my opinion, the LGBTs who are part of God's creation, have every right to be considered equal in all respects. The Sikh Faith emphasizes practicing compassion towards all creation."
Mr. Singh goes on to say,
"Regarding my other comment, I didn't have any opportunity of a personal experience on this matter within my community so I am not qualified to speak on behalf of both the community or LGBT friends.The website link and the attachment that I am sending provides more information. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you or your friends have any questions/concerns."
