Dear Sir or Madam,

I am emailing you in regards to a wedding which has been booked for 17th June 2006 at the Coral Springs Mariott Hotel

The marriage party (Bayne/Gulani) is planning to have a Sikh religious wedding ceremony at the Coral Springs Mariott Hotel, which will involve bringing 'Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji', the Sikhs' Sacred Scripture, which the Sikhs regard with utmost reverence and sanctity. The Sikh's Supreme Authority has banned this practice of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji being taken to places where there is alcohol, tobacco or meat served. It clearly has been said that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not allowed to be taken to banqueting halls, hotels, pubs or bars. Therefore, this a clear violation of the Sikhs religious sentiments and is the greatest dishonour. This is seen as an act of blasphemy. We urge you to reconsider your position and put a stop to all Sikh religious ceremonies taking place on your premises.

We would suggest the religious ceremony be held in a Sikh Gurdwara. Please can you inform the family or stop the holy scriptures being disrespected. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

We hope you will also realise the seriousness of the issue and prevent any unnecessary large peaceful protests. A big demonstration outside your hotel is planned for the wedding day if alternative arrangements are not made. There is plenty of notice to re-arrange this wedding.

We hope you take this matter seriously, and prevent any unnecessary peaceful protests by the Sikh community from across the USA by not allowing the disrespect and violation of the Sikh's sacred scripute, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, from happening on your hotel premises.

We urge you to stop the religious part of the wedding taking place on your premises so as to avoid distress to the Sikh community and the adverse publicity for your hotel. Previously hotels, halls, clubs and other such venues have agreed to change the plans.

I would like a reply as soon as possible, as Sikhs across the country are planning to hold peaceful protests outside the hotel if the Sacred Scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, is brought to the Hotel Complex.

Regards,

[NAME]

The best thing to do at this stage is to try and find out where Guru Maharaj will be coming from. Maybe then Gursikhs can put pressure on the Gurdwara Committee or Granthi or the Wedding Arranger.

We have to now focus making the Hotel change its mind. Pass the message on to all your friends & familiy to ring the hotel, explaining the Hukamnama, how this act is hurtful and insulting to Sikhs, how across the world other Sikhs are trying to stop a handful of corrupt Sikh Priests selling Sikhi. Explain to the hotel that UK Hotels like LeMerdian, Hilton and Marriott were more that willing not to hurt the sentiments of the Sikh Worldwide Community.

whether it be a 5 * hotel or not, it is beadbi to take Guruji were there is meat or alcohol. Please think before making this thread into a comical one.

The Guruji lives in a world full of meat and alcohol what difference does it make if its a street away or a few meters away

[singh91]

i agree what TavPrasad Singh said...we should contact the gurudwara...bz they are utimately the ones deciding where Guru Granth Sabih Ji can be and will be taken to....so i believe we should all contact the gurudwara put pressure on them not to take Guru Sabih Ji to a hotel

[Akhoza]

Could the respect we have for the Guru Granth Sahib Ji be interpreted by some non-Sikhs as a form of idol worship

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Akhoza, would you personally take Mahraj's Saroop on your head into a hotel and do Mahraj's parkash there yourself. Not a Granthi but you yourself! If so then that's your choice, expect resistance from Sikhs who would be offended by your actions.

Can’t stop you having your opinion, this topic has been discussed many times over and it’s not worth re-starting a debate. You either see this as beadbi or your don’t. Good luck to you..
