Yea I agree with Daly...DON'T BURN GURBANI!!

When they agni-bhet Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji after a time period of 100 years, they have a different way of doing it, but this is a controversial issue, whether to agni-bhet gurbani or not.

It all depends on how much love you have for gurbani and you Guru. I personally would never burn gurbani, even if I don't have space I'll throw away something I paid for and put bani there instead. AND I WOULD CONDEMN ANYONE TO DO IT AS WELL.

Gurbani is eternal, its God's word, which is priceless, and should be kept in a high place, so unless you know the way to "dispose" of Gurbani, I highly recommend you not do anything. And get all the gurbani on watever paper you have on and put all the papers in a binder and store em someplace.

Bhul chuk maaf karnee

i asked a friend of mine.. he told me its not the paper.. but the knowledge.. burning a paper doesnt contaminate/disrespect the knowledge contained..

plus God is around us.. its an omnipresent force.. even burning has God's physics involved

lol, then what about Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji?

Its all paper too right, and you don't just dispose of Gurbani like that, I understand the universal idea behind all of it. But something that we see, and feel, we should respect, not treat it like some writing on a piece of paper. THAT'S BAY-ADBI (disrespect)!!

You have to understand the essence of why we respect bani. And why our Gurus said we SHOULD respect gurbani.

Say you have a book right, and it has gurbani on it, you can't put it near your feet, you have to put it someplace high, because it deserves respect, gurbani on any piece of paper, is bani and needs to be respected.

Lets see at the first place why you want to "dispose" of these papers with Gurbani on em, you reason is that you don't have room for it? C'mon man, its your Guru's words...Now you say that it should be in your heart and paper doesn't count.

Ok, for all the papers you have that have gurbani on them, if you know the shabads by heart, know their meanings, and apply them to your life everyday (or when needed). Then by all means, respectfully "dispose" of those papers. If you don't know it, and cant apply to your life, then those papers should be a reminder to you, everyday of what to do, and what your guru says.

Sorry for the long response, and any bhul chuk.

You do Antam Sanskar.Bani of Guru is Guru's Ang, so when the Ang is worn out you can do Antam Sanskar.When you place in fire, say "Vahiguru, I give back your Bani to you.Thank you Vahiguru" or something similar.You are doing Antam Sanskar.

What my mother does is she puts bits of bani (from wedding invites etc) into water until it dissolves away.She then pours the water onto earth.

Pavan Guru.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
