But they didnt, it was a tilak, thats what I said.

Actually, we are unaware of our own history. Baba Budha Ji, applied tilak of guruship to five Gurus, saw seven Gurus and remained in close association with first six Sikh Gurus from 1521 to 1628 for over one hundred years.

Our Gurus were appointed by putting "Tilak" on their forehead. I ask why?

So it means that we can start wearing Dhottis and Scred threads around our chests. And start Jap of Ram Ram Radhay Ram - It will be funny.

I'm asking you a simple question. Why Tilak was used for the appointment of Sikh Gurus? If having Tilak makes Sikhs a non Sikh who are being shown in the picture then what is your explanation to ceremony, in which Baba Budha Ji, first Granthi of Sikhism and great personality appointing Sikh Gurus by putting "Tilak" on their forehead.

Please come up with an objective answer, if you have any. Thanks

And to your Sarcasm, we should wear what is appropriate for Sikhs. We should wear clean clothes and try to take shower in the morning and do our Nitnem. Try to bring harmony in the world and keep ourselves in the "Chardi-Kala" spirit. We should see the whole world as ours and love every human being regardless of their religious preferences.

Where did we say that it was meant to be for Sikhs. Here I sum it for you the point of discussion.

1. Why Tilak was used for the appointment of Sikh Gurus?

2. If having Tilak makes Sikhs a non Sikh who are being shown in the picture then what is your explanation to ceremony, in which Baba Budha Ji, first Granthi of Sikhism and great personality appointing Sikh Gurus by putting "Tilak" on their forehead.
