Does anyone here remember the story of Guru Nanak sleeping with his feet towards Mecca?

"Turn me towards where there is no God".

What about guru granth sahib?

One opinion: by some estimates there are 23 million Sikhs worldwide. Assume that 1/10 have a Guru Granth Sahib darbar in their home... that is 2.3 million Guru Granth parkashes scattered across the globe. If I'm at school, which one do I bow to?

In a way, its similar to the Mecca analogy that Guru Nanak himself gave us. The muslims believe that Mecca is the house of God. It is like a representation of God. So they bow towards him. BUT, our Guru Granth Sahib serves a similar pupose, it is the representation of God. The words are the true Guru. And like God, the words of Sri Guru Granth Sahib are true everywhere, and not only inside the physical parkash, just as God isn't limited to Mecca.

To summarise it doesnt matter where you point your feet its just a man made Picture.

The question now is, is it acceptable to direct your feet at Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? I see people walking backwards out the divan falling over half the time lol but as they leave they turn their back thinking a wall makes a difference!

^Discuss!

When we do matha tek (bow down) to guru granth sahib we are actually doing it to akal purakh.

well... Its different when your sitting down in the darbar. You shouldnt sit with your back towards guru ji but im nto 100% sure about your feet grin.gif

But walking out fo the diwan hall doesnt really matter, you have to look where your going... Its funny when people are walking backwards and they bump into some ppl in the sangat :lol:

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
