Some of the Sikh Gurus had more than one marriage. Thus, they had more than one wife. In Sikh Marriage Act, a Sikh cannot have more than one life partner. It is a very important fact about Sikhism that needs attention. Sikhism gives a great importance to marriage. The householder life has a great significance. Thus, the marriage is an integral part of life of a Sikh. It is for living an ideal life in the world family. These Sikh Gurus practiced martial art and used the traditional weapons. In this research based topic, we discuss about Sikh marriage. For the married life, a Sikh cannot have many life partners legally as spouse. The following Sikh Gurus had more than one wife:

1. Shri Guru Hargobind Ji

2. Shri Guru Har Rai

3. Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji

The Sixth Sikh Guru, Shri Guru Hargobind was the first Sikh Guru, who had more than one marriage. Eventually, he had more than one wife. It is considered illegal in the Sikh Marriage Act in India and world in general. However, this wiki article explains about how and why it is not relevant to the law that we have today in India and abroad. He as the Sikh Guru had three wives. The more facts about him include the following:

1. He was also the first Sikh Guru, who did not write the Sikh Teachings, the Gurbani in the Holy Book of Sikhs. The Holy Book of Sikhs is Shri Guru Granth Sahib

2. He was also the first Sikh Guru, who lived like a King


3. He was the first Sikh Guru, who introduced the Martial Arts in Sikhism. It were for self and social defense

4. The Founder of System of Religious Social Justice among Sikhs, and people in general at the Court of Justice conducted by the Congregation, the People at Akal Takhat, Amritsar


5. He introduced the religion as the source of democracy in which the people as the congregation has the power of making decision not the Ruler alone

6. He reinforced the obedience of national law for welfare of all. As the National Ruler, the Mughal Emperor had set this law. He as the Sixth Sikh Guru humbled himself and even went to the Gwalior jail. Jahangir, the Mughal Emperor, sent him to the jail. The First Sikh Guru Nanak obeyed when Baber, the Mughal Emperor sent him to jail. Similarly, the Fifth Guru Shri Guru Arjan did as he sacrificed his life in the jail. He was martyred by the Jahangir, the Mughal Emperor


7. He wanted to ensure equal rights to all kings in India. When he was released from the Gwalior jail, he asked Jahangir, the Mughal Emperor to release all 52 kings in the jail. It is called the Bandi Chhor Divas, the Liberation Day for Prisoners. The Sikhs celebrate it every year on Diwali. The Diwali is a festival in India. It is the festival of lights

8. He constructed the forts for defense and security. These forts were for spiritual practice of martial arts


9. He founded a city named Kiratpur Sahib. The Sikhs perform the last ceremony as a ritual at this place after a Sikh dies. Many Hindus perform this ritual at the Ganges, Haridwara

10. He invented a musical instrument. It has a name Taus meaning peacock

These facts about Sikhism are not controversial. It lacks the factual details. We are discussing it in these series of wikinut articles. In other words, these are some of the unknown facts making one doubt about Sikh marriages. Sikh Gurus namely Shri Guru Har Rai, and Shri Guru Gobind Singh followed this tradition of having more than one marriage.

As the Seventh Sikh Guru, Shri Guru Har Rai lived like a King. He was married more than once. He had continued the same spiritual quest as a Sikh Guru and the King. It was to promote what the Sixth Guru, Shri Guru Hargobind started.

Why and How Chaos is Natural with Zero Resultant: Our Brain can use it without Comprehension

In the natural world, with exception to humans all living and nonliving ones do what they know. The human ego helps us in thinking but useless knowledge prevents us to practice it. We notice animals and birds follow natural laws and principles.

For us the confidence seems as the most potent thing. Our confidence cannot help us to avoid corruption and thus thought pollution that harms the natural world in which we live.

The faith made Lord Jesus give his life on the cross, Socrates drank poison, all martyrs and soldiers, and others to sacrifice their greed for sake of duty. By faith one can sacrifice selfishness not by confidence as it seems.

Thus, it seems that the confidence is the Force that Ego seem to use, but Faith is the Power that we have at the Pineal Gland and thus the rest of the body. If we are doing technological works on brain control, we can easily understand that nature gives faith as power that runs body from womb to tomb...

On the other hand, the ego simply seem interfere with natural laws and principles and thus we have egoistic and egocentric people becoming rulers and dictators. The misuse of ego is considered a mental disease in Ayurveda and other Spiritual or Holistic Health Sciences as it disturbs not only the individual but rest of the natural world.

All of it usually leading to weakening of pineal gland that needs faith in the natural laws and the principles because it works naturally as we say from womb to tomb...

The Decline of the West - Theism is not Dogma of Force: Oswald Spengler

In general view from East is many of westerner thinker believe that most of the spirituals and others has been used only as means and ends for marketing religion and faith, which is one of well supported propaganda with many names embracing the general name New World Order.

The new advancements has simply put technology as spiritual technology that has nothing to do with God, Divine, Religion, Faiths and thus Spirituality and Nature for the Natural World in which we live.

The following musical video says it well:

The Best Spirituality is Often Just a Walk in Nature

If Wisdom Tree is accepted all is based on evolution, the self-development. The rapid change in the concepts related to God and Religions seem to use brands that are modified daily for more profits and better global business.

Thus seems what Oswald Spengler says as the Decline of the West - Theism is not Dogma of Force:

Atheism, rightly understood, is the necessary expression of a spirituality that has accomplished itself and exhausted its religious possibilities, and is declining into the inorganic. It is entirely compatible with a living wistful desire for real religiousness--therein resembling Romanticism, which likewise would recall that which has irrevocably gone, namely, the Culture--... Atheism comes not with the evening of the Culture but with the dawn of Civilization. Mo

But, if this late form of world-feeling and world-image which preludes our "second religiousness" is universally a negation of the religious in us. The structure of it is different in each of the Civilizations...

The spiritual in every living culture is religious, has religion, whether it be conscious of it or not. It is not open to a spirituality to be irreligious; at most it can play with the idea of irreligion as Medicean Florentines did. But the maglopolitan is irreligious; this is part of his being, a mark of his historical position. The degree of piety of which a period is capable is revealed in its attitude towards toleration. One tolerates something either because it seems to have some relation to what according to one's experience is the divine or else because one is no longer capable of such experience and is indifferent.

What we moderns have called "Toleration" in the classical world is an expression of the contrary of atheism. Plurality of numina and cults is inherent in the conception of Classical religion. But to the Faustian soul dogma and not visible ritual constitutes the essence. What is regarded as godless is opposition to doctrine. He begins the spatial-spiritual conception of heresy. A Faustian religion by its very nature cannot allow any freedom of conscience; it would be in contradiction with its space-invasive dynamic. Even free-thinking itself is not exception to the rule. Amongst us there is not faith without leanings to an Inquisition of some sort....

FAUSTIAN PHYSICS AS THE DOGMA OF FORCE [209]
The Deism of the Baroque goes together with its dynamics and its analytical geometry; its three basic principles, God, Freedom and Immortality, are in the language of mechanics the principles of inertia (Galileo), least action (D'Alembert) and the conservation of energy (J. R. Mayer).

Western physics is by its inward form dogmatic and not ritualistic. Its content is the dogma of Force which is identical with space and distance...

THE LIMITS OF FURTHER THEORETICAL--NOT TECHNICAL--DEVELOPMENT [212-13]
...

...the sudden and annihilating doubt that has arisen about things that even yesterday were the unchallenged foundation of physical theory, about the meaning of the energy-principle, the concepts of mass, space, absolute time, and causality-laws generally. ...It is a doubt affecting the very possibility of a Nature- science. To take one instance alone, what a depth of unconscious Skepsis there is in the rapidly increasing use of enumerative and statistical methods, which aim only at probability of results and forgo in advance the absolute scientific exactitude that was a creed to the hopeful earlier generations.

Indian Philosophy as Observation of Wisdom

The Indian Philosophy does not have its name as derived from the Greek word Philosophy (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy ). Indian thinkers whom we also know as Sages, the Rishi's and Muni's called it the Darshna (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_philosophy ).

In it, the Darshna means the Seer, the Observer of knowledge and wisdom not just lover of it. This state is called being Drishta, the Seer and further the one, who can experience the real self, the Drishta and thus the Darshna. The word Seer seems further illustration so I have just added a video for it. The seer in the Indian Philosophy as the Darshan by no way seems to have anything to what it says in the words used the Divination.


Well, we can understand it from this video:
