It seems as though this topic has taken off on a tangent from the original subject!
I very rarely post on forums, but to felt I had enough of an opinion to warrant addition on my part to the conversation.
Firstly, the family that have that have re-arranged the Anand Karaj to a Gurdwara three days before the event should be applauded for their understanding. And interestingly, it perhaps shows that the family were originally in the dark about the possible beadbi that would be caused?
Therefore, I would say that the Satkaar Campaign should also focus on lovingly educating Sikh communities on the potential causes of any perceived beadi to Guru Granth Sahib ji and the Sikh faith so that families are informed beforehand and can avoid the stresses of having to reschedule events and upsetting fellow Sikhs.
Secondly, perhaps the committee that were allowing the saroop of Guru Granth Sahib ji to be taken to the venue in the first place, should be questioned? What are the sangat to do if the Giani jis and committees are endorsing such practices?
Regarding the debate that has suddenly started around 'drinking' and Sikhi - I don't think SukhdevSinghMedare should be attacked, but neither should his opinions be endorsed. He did not enourage drinking in excess, but made references to 1 glass of wine or 1 beer and pitched it against a pious soul. There are many excesses that are bad for us - should we ban high calorie foods too? I do not condone drinking, nor am I against it, but I am against the effects of excess on the brain and thus character of a person. Drink alone is not the problem, the abuse of it is.
Are you assuming there are no amritdhari Sikhs who drink wine/beer? If so, address that issue.
I am not siding with SukhdevSinghMedare, I am siding with progressive and open conversation on this forum, for the betterment of all.
