Golden Temple Amritsar, India

[iaadotlk1]

It is breathtaking how beautiful it is.

[harrybhmra123]

humanity and equality is a first religion and same Sikhism taught to us. and that is why there is four doors in Golden Temple telling us there is no ban to any type of people, religion or cast to enter there. we all people going backward fighting every day to each other. We visit theses places like majids, mandir and gurudwara sahib, till not clear about each other.........................­.....open your eyes people

[grandslam1998]

I am have travelled the world and The Amritar Goldern Temple is the most friendly religious site I have been to. Free transport to and from the railway station, free accomadation, free food,free tea and everyone is happy to see you. The Sikhs really are lovely people and they really do make you feel at home. The whole place has a fantastic buss about it. You really feel safe. It is like being with your family.Unlike the Taj Mahal is place is alive. David from the UK

i see only muslims here ???

@SrbijaZaMene idiot

[Greatsprit1]

The Golden Temple is run by one caste that are all Jatt that run the committee and that is fact.

They are racking the money that goes in their pocket.

How can they help the poor?

Guru Nanak Dev Ji said you cannot be a Sikh if your follow the caste system.

We need to look at reality and be honest caste still exists and is rampant in Sikhism.

[julesatthepnderossa]

I went to Amritsar, The Golden Temple 4 years ago and it was just uplifting.

[whoiszizou]

the best place in the world.

[brijenderisshankee]

hey manoj every Indian is the best patriot of India, not only Sikhs ok

[madsense68]

Watch '1984- A Sikh Story' on BBC 1 today (10th Jan 2010) at 11.55 pm. As we used to say when I was at school - PASS IT ON !

[J1NDA]

As a British Sikh i was not a particularly spiritual person when i visited the Golden Temple and was pretty stressed by time i got there (i drove 2 1/2 hours), but as i walked around it i felt my self calming. by the time i got to the Har Mandir Sahib itself i was totally relaxed and for the fist time i would say spiritual, by that i mean totally at peace with my self and all those around me, i felt like this once i had reached the top and honestly did not want to leave. It really did affect me.

[Vincenteloco]

I love India

[manojjonam10]

we love Sikhs, the best patriots of India.

[funnydayz0]

hey, I just read some old comments and I just want to say i respect all religons.

[Vincenteloco]

I was there 2007 just awesome I love India

[complicatedsimpleton]

Khalistan Zindabad! WJKK WJKF.

[lozkina]

The Golden Temple is the only building in theworld that when I first looked at it I could feel tears running down my eyes WOW for me it meant so much more than the TaJ and I grew up a catholic

[Vincenteloco]

Yes I agree with you about the tears ,I felt thatt I was in heaven so many people there at one time and no pushing did you stay for the meal after you walked thru the temple

[lozkina]

of course i wasnt going all that way without a little taste we also helped with the preperation. Were back to India again in Febuary but only a beach hols in gujarat

[covenant2005]

@lozkina no disrespect intended......the "taj mahal' was a symbolic gesture of love by shah jahan for his wife mumtaz mahal.....The Golden Temple is the holiest place for Sikhs...much like Mecca for Muslims, or the Vatican for Catholics.....its not a tourist attraction....

[lozkina]

@covenant2005 im sorry i miss your meaning what Im saying that this place gives a person a feeling that cant be labelled, a feeling that is alien to myself. Its so fantastic I just try with offending people to try and place it higher on my impressive sites I saw in India that trip.

[sandhuizm]

@lozkina soo true . hatts off for u . god bless u . wrote such a beautifull comment

[indian11113]

I proud to be a Sikh,,,

[indian11113]

shut ur mouth up ...i m not using bad words bcz i dont want to disgust a video on our sacred place....i m proud what i m ...u cant do anything abt it ...soo jusss shut up

[ashley9159]

nice work i aggree with you

[ashley9159]

you just shut up and oh yeah if your critizizing our culture i will critisise your too so just shut up and don't say a word

[complicatedsimpleton]

Khalistan Zindabad.

May Bhindranwale and all the soldiers who lost their lives defending us rest in peace. WJKK WJKF.

[i486x]

Oh yeah, I've been here before. I mean, last month. :)

[amritthechocolatebar]

you all make so much

[nazm01]

I'm a muslim and my parents are from paks. This place in this video has a strong meaning to me even though I am not a sikh. The reason behind that is this place (Amritsar) is my history. A large part of my family was from this beautiful city. It was this place and Lahore. It is a shame things had to go the way they did over 50 years ago when one half of my family had to flee Amritsar. But I suppose a lot of Sikhs originally from Lahore have the same feeling as I do.

[gurpreetmani5]

I'm glad that you like Golden Temple in Amritsar and just want to tell you that the foundation stone was kept by a muslim " Sai Mian Mir ji". People from all faiths are allowed to vist. Whatever you wish from your heart get fulfilled here with the blessings of Waheguru.

[janji3202]

Are poeple from all faith allowed in the temple or Sikhs only? Thanks. I have seen some pics on the temple at night, it looks awesome.

[jojhar]

janji3202- people from all faiths are allowed in sikh temples, just make sure one obeys rules there

[thisisme89]

Dear monamonaji, I am a Sikh and I don't believe Sikhs are 'superior' to anyone - nobody is superior than anybody. Sikhs have always stood for universal equality of humans. Please do not offend our Hindu brothers and sisters. Whoever you are, and whatever your aim is, dear friend, please be kind and don't spread hate.

[RanaRaethanaBonduHai]

Thank you for your nice words!!

[tijrug123]

most powerful place when u actually go there ur mind feels like if ur in a dream and its bigger than it looks in the video :)

god bless

pce

[jtobin13]

my friend risksa said they feed 10000eople a dauy!!

[Hackiesacker007]

To jtobin13: Yeah, they do feed a lot of people.

It's a Sikh Gurdwara(house of guru - sikh place of worship)

And they don't feed people in the temple, but in a separate building in the complex. It's called "Langar" and it is a free vegetarian meal for anyone, regardless of caste, color, race, gender, etc. It's served all throughout the day for anyone, for free.

[photophreak83]

I was there! The Golden Temple is amazing!

[killerwaz88]

OHH BANGARA BANGARA

[Ektaawasthi]

[farazahmed82]

[KahlonWorld751]

[Hackiesacker007]

Sikhs do believe in  reincarnation...

[Punjabi342]

[jattmelburnian]

remember we all are equal........but some of us are more equal than others and that is what sikhs are.....i'm not talking about who are born in a sikh family but the ones who ar sikhs by their deeds.

[jasonraj2]

I really want to visit the Golden Temple to see the pilgrimage of sikhs and their homeland khalistan...It's very beautiful in the Golden Temple!

[liverpoolwewonit5x]

[ksehmi]

Sikh Conservation Architects and Built Environment Historians are horrified at the manner in which some of the restoration and upgrading work has been carried out. Conservation is about retaining and using existing material (some over 500 years old) and not in painting enamel paints over murals and cladding the Jassa Ramgharhia Towers brick work (See photos of Golden temple on British Museum Websites in 1905) with gaudy marble.

[chikita3890]

this video is about the golden temple, so why are people arguing about guru nanak and hinduism? just watch the damn video and post some nice comments like the two below mine!!! stop being so negative. satnaam shri waheguru, that's all i have to say. haha. :D

[manbirsaundh]

ManbirSaundh

Golden Tempel is really a swarg on earth.

[Maiaduir]

WAHE GURU!

[moonlightcaress1]

ChetanUSharma, thanks for your comments. I completely agree with you. The Golden Temple is a beautiful place.

[ChetanUSharma]

so beautiful, ill never forget when i went to see the golden temple

[nikwagh]

Of course Hindu and Sikh people are the same. Nanak was a Hindu himself as was his family. He was born into a Hindu family.

Nearly all Sikhs have Hindu origins.

[moonlightcaress1]

nikwagh, I pity your ignorance. In that case, all Muslims are Christians (since Mohommed PBUH) was born in a Christian family. All Christians are Jews, since Jesus was born a Jew. All Jews are athiests or primitive societies, which preceded them, and we are all cavemen, since that's what all our ancestors really were. Religions and beliefs evolve just as societies evolve. Are you willing to accept that all Hindus are cavemen because all Hindus have primitive, tribal origins?

[nikwagh]

I said you have Hindu origins and the people in Punjab and Haryana whether Hindu or Sikh are of the same group, please learn to read.

I didn't say Hindus and Sikhs were the same religion.

Also no Mohammed was not a Christian. I don't know what ridiculous history textbooks you have been perusing but that made me laugh quite a bit, thanks.

[roopamkamboj93]

I agree that Guru Nanak was a hindu but Sikhs and Hindus are not the same !! We have different beliefs and Sikhism is totally different dan Hinduism !

[baxterrani]

No Guru Nanak was not Hindu. He rejected Hinduism that his parents followed.

[roopamkamboj93]

still he was born as Hindu

[iroc3]

To PUT THE HINDUS and The Whole World on right Path

[roopamkamboj93]

i agree !

[roopamkamboj93]

dude whn did i say it was a bad thing ? :-S

and whn did i say he was a hindu ? :-S obviously he was born as a hindu but as a started a new religion he automatically changed his religion to sikhism

why people keep on blaming on me for no reason ? :-S

[J1NDA]

To be honest which ever faith the Guru Ji was born into is not important, and that is the point i think everyone is making to you and you are missing!

But the fact that you raised the point of him being born into a Hindu family must be of importance to you or why else bring it up? It is that reason that has prompted all the responses you have since recieved after the comment you made. Surely you must see this.

Next time just say nice video, as it is!

I hope this ends your confusion.

{;-0)

[dilshad123]

I am sikh, so you believe Hinduism and Sikhism is different?

[roopamkamboj93]

definitely ! Hinduism and Sikhism are similar in some ways same with Islam but there are a lot differences too

our holy books are diff, beliefs r diff

[abhey13]

what similar please explain ............

[redblueice]

Thanks for sharing, The Golden temple looks great.

[baxterrani]

Very beautiful...I've been to the Golden Temple, and it's so welcoming and divine.

[movieguy03124]

sikhs do not belive only in Gurus they mostly beleave in god, the Gurus guided the skihs as leader and a teacher to the teachings of the god

[movieguy03124]

do u guys know that if u kill in side the gloden temple you die in 6 months by sikhs and in 1948 the government attacked the golden temple because they thought there were teriost there and a few months later the prime minister died by 2 sikhs

[yido4life83]

yeh the sikhs went after the ONE person who gave the order for operation blue star, NOT the general public.

[GoldenTempleAmritsar]

In 1984...

[senjindnb]

Sikhs believe in Vaheguru.

Sikhs believe that there is only ONE universal god for all religions, they just gave them differend names.

and punjabis arent sikhs, punjabis can be buddhists, muslims, christs, jews, hindus, sikhs, and all the religions i forgot here.

satnam

[roopamchandi93]

heaven on dis earth i was born in dat city

i miss amritsar :( may godd bless punjab

[vrateshchopra]

hehehee that was a funny one..ignorance can be funny at times..

[vrateshchopra]

I don't know if there is any heaven in the God's world..

But this is truely a place where you can feel what a real heaven should be like..

A place every one must visit..

[mrssmiley08]

several Hindus live in PUNJAB and speak punjabi

[dmisra75]

what do you mean hindus are fijians

[NanakLove]

fiji is a country close to austraila. half of its population is hindu (with sikhs and muslims there also). Here in Canada we have many hindus from fiji thats why brother here thinks hindus are from fiji even tho thats far from the truth..the only Officially hindu state in the world is nepal

[baxterrani]

Hinduism has a completely different philosophy, it is a much older religion. Sikhism and Hinduism are like black and white. The only way they are similar is their love for humanity.

[dmisra75]

How different two groups are depends on your perspective. I believe hindus and sikhs are the same, much the same way that I believe Protestants and Catholics are the same. I believe in the ecumenical approach to religions, there are already too many differences around.

[baxterrani]

misra, it doesn't depend on perspective, it depends on facts. People can distort all they want and prefer delusions. Catholics and Protestants have far more in common than Hindus and Sikhs...they're different sects under the same roof of Christianity.

The Sikh Gurus clearly rejected the practices of the Hindu kin they were born into. They sought a reform in India, rid of caste, gender bias, and the likes. The Sikhs and Hindus have very distinct belief systems.

[dmisra75]

1. baxter, i grew up in india where i have seen a lot of hindu sikh intermarrying. that in itself says how seperate the 2 groups are. 2. the sikhs are not free of caste and class either. 3. somehow i have found that sikhs in uk and canada are very rigid and fundamentalist in their beliefs. my sikh friends in india are in fact embarrassed by their overseas relatives

[baxterrani]

dmisra, I am very embarrassed by Hindu fundamentalists that believe Hinduism and Sikhism is the same...that is propaganda, my friend. Please come out of your extremist attitude. I don't understand why Hindus are always trying to assert these silly things and cannot accept two clearly distinct religions as they are. I have lived in India for a large part of my life. You are not a Sikh, so do not pretend to speak on behalf of them.

[ChetanUSharma]

im not sikh either but i bet i know more about sikhi than ALOT of sikhs, and yes sikhism and hinduism are differnt religons. just because nanak was born a hindu doesnt make sikhism a branch of hinduism. (same goes with jesus being born a hebrew) though we may have some similar beliefs (issues on tolerance, actions towards others, basicly all the good ones) we have different practices.

[baxterrani]

1. Intermarrying does not have anything to with this. I know many Christian-Sikh marriages (at least as many as Hindu-Sikh marriages), does this mean Christianity and Sikhism are the same?

2. Please show me where in the Guru Granth Sahib any of the Gurus or saints promote casteism. Please tell me the last time a dalit was not allowed to enter a Gurudwara and had his hands chopped off for entering a "higer caste" area.

If you can't, please stop being ignorant.

[ChetanUSharma]

thats ignorance right there, using the fact that dalits were abused by social standards. nowhere in hinduism does it say to treat a lower caste badly.

[NigFlick]

IT IS AGAINST THE SIKH RELIGION TO HAVE CASTES. (They castes you saw were social casts, meaning that if you're rich your rich. There are many ways to prove that Sikhs don't believe in castes. 1: Sikhs sit on the same floor to eat, even the Gurus sat on the same floor that the beggar was. 2: In the Hindu religion only priests are allowed to read from the HOLY HOLY book, In Sikhism all people are allowed read.) NOW DO YOU GET IT. DUDE GET OVER IT SIKHISM IS NOT EVEN CLOSELY RELEVANT TO HINDUS!!

[ChetanUSharma]

in the gita-ages when a god was incarnated, not all would be born into the highest caste, some second or third (ram; a main god and an example) it only became a problem when modern day SOCIAL STATUS india would start saying things like "ur a dalit and should be cleaning latrines" people dont know is that modern day dalits hold the most power in india and brahmins are trying to change their name to get equal status. i know that sikhs are differnt from hindus and have prized and unique beliefs.

[NigFlick]

HINDUS AND SIKHS ARE DIFFRENT. Hindus bleive in (I don't know) 500 gods. Sikhs belive in 1 god. Hindus are DIFFRENT!!!

AKA: I Love sikhs. I met one once he was soooo kind.

[ChetanUSharma]

thats a common misconception that hinduism is polytheistic, we are infact henotheistic (we believe in ONE, GENDERLESS, FORMLESS, ALL POWEREFUL HIGHER ENTITY but worshipped in many forms and incarnations.

[ninjadude666]

Hinduism is a Mythological Religion no more believable than Greek or Roman Mythology!

[BengalG3]

You should read the "mythology" in books like the Bible. The earth was created in 7 days.........Or bowing down to a black rock..........

[ninjadude666]

Correction, the Bible is the greatest fairy tale ever written...

[BengalG3]

No,im Christian I just believe the original teaches and philosophys of all religions have been corrupted by war,greed,jealously of man,but they teach you self-control,peace of mind,and believing in something more important then yourself,something I can respect,but something that can be easily corrupted by man=0

[ninjadude666]

And what are those Original Teachings & Philosophies?

[BengalG3]

They could have been lost,re-rewritten,burned,etc,l­ost,etc. Put it like this through time storys change. Like in school when someone fights people talk about it and start to add in things that didnt belong in the original story and the end product can be something that can be total false. Krishna,Hanuman,etc could have been saints like st.Paul,Jesus,Mohammad,etc not demi-gods.

[dilshad123]

I am not a hindu, but hinduism is not a myth as most people believe, there is evidence regarding it.

[ninjadude666]

Yea and Christians have found what they believe to be the remains of Noah's Ark. Maybe you can enlighten me with some of this so called evidence. Last time Hindu's claimed to have proof of the remains of the bridge Ram had supposedly built, that was shot down by scientists as natural sand formation. So yea, I still stand by what I said, complete Myth. Only, Greek Mythology is more interesting!

[NigFlick]

Dude, Hindus for all I know HATE HUMANITY. Read about it. They killed soo many sikhs during 1984. They killed SSOOOOO many muslims. They hate everybody.

[ChetanUSharma]

lol first look into how many hindus were killed and then see how we want peace with everybody

[dmisra75]

sikhs and hindus are the same. long live punjab and india

[cynthia1511]

nice i want to go there

[jaehu5tle]

god blesss nice place peace

[Radian1991]

"It was the Congress leaders who instigated mobs in 1984 and got more than 3000 people killed. I must give due credit to RSS and the BJP for showing courage and protecting helpless Sikhs during those difficult days. BJP party leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee himself intervened at a couple of places to help poor taxi drivers." The Bharatiya Janata Party strongly condemned the riots.-Khushwant Singh

[bhangrafan]

amritsar is a city packed with historical references. i found a good website for history/tourism of amristar,

darbarsaheb . com (remove the spaces)
