Thank you for providing that poem.
I have always wondered about the origins and tradition of Sikhism and how it differs from Hinduism.Nobody has ever been willing to tell me though.
For Indo-European descended people in the west Hinduism is very easy to understand culturally. This is because before a certain century the west and the Asian continent merge with praise to Matriach Danu,of the waters, and many others prior to Christianity. I am a Christian but this by no means that I do not know about the Upanishads and Brahma,Vishna, and Shiva.
Brahma,Vishna, and Shiva the three faces of the one personality.
Even W.B Yeats ,poet of the west, wrote an interpretation of the Upanishads over a century ago.
Sikhism I know nothing of though.
I have always wondered what it is about.
Thanks for providing the poem.
