Guru Nanaks Bday In A Mandir!

[jassa]

guru nanakdev ji told hindus to be firm hindus and muslims to be firm muslims ....

message for hindu do three arties a day thats what ur mareyada ...

message for muslim give 5 namaz a day thats what ur mareyada is ....

if we want to see every human human in this world should be sikh follow what we follow .... does that mean guru sahib wanted that to ....

in the end its love that will be get counted ....

It's all good if they give Guru Ji as much respect as the Bhagavad Gita but Guru Ji are not a holy book. Are they treating Guru Ji with the respect that a true Sikh would is what worries me.

[Pakandi baba]

True, if visitng it. But in history and the word themselves in the SGGS state no idol worship.

If the Sindhs were influenced by Baba Nanak, did they not learn of his preaching of idol worship? Clearly not!

To the poster who said it could be the Geeta, It can't be, it's not treated in the same manner, romalla etc etc

To Pakandi Baba - I agree with everything you say, but one question to you no offense, is why do stress over everything. Bringing small topics like this into the forefront what will it do, probably nothing.

I'm always a fan of your posts, but what can we do theres too many manmat things happening in our panth.

These issues are just like the trouble leaves of one tree.. They are of course important but we have to stress/focus on the evil roots of the whole tree. Issues like this will be coming over and over and will continue to do unless we shake the pull out the root problem. I think we need to figure out the Jaar (root) behind such cases. How we can identify the Jarr/root ?.. i think that point we should discuss yeh?

WELL TOO LATE I'M OFENDED!!....

It is the duty as Sikhs to highlight such matters. - We may not resove anything, but does that mean we should brush it under the carpet veer/bhain ji?

It's good to sing hymns of hte Guru's as I said orginally. but not with Guru ji presnt amongst pattar ki murti.

HOW can we say we're Sikh when we turn a blind eye to such behaviour when it's written in our SGGS CONDMNMING SUCH acts! - Would we say to Guru j, well we didn't know, shrugging our shoulders of he asked us?!

Well said. We also have to sometimes look at whether someone’s intent is malicious or just confusion. In many cases it’s the latter.

If the core-centre is operating dysfunctionaly then it makes it more difficult to implement any functionality on the outside.

Are you not confusing this Udasi Gurdwara for a mandir. remember during the times of the british it was the udasis who saved sikhi. I think an idol of Baba Sri Chand can be seen behind the Ragi.

[Hardeep__singh]

we have idols all around us wherever we go. So your saying that in your house you dont have ornaments in the very house that you keep you gutke? Plus in the days of our beloved gurus they met hindus from all denominations who were all idol worshipers yet they still managed to recieve audience of maharaj. *EDITED*, so what if there are idols there, in india every pind has a mandir where murti pooja happens so are you saying that a gurudwara shouldnt be built in the same pind, see from one extreme to the other. Just relax, naam japo, kirt karo, who cares, did anyone do apmaan of maharaj, wasnt maharaj sat in a takht and palki with chaur sahib, wasnt there a sewadaar tending to maharaj? so why r u ppl *EDITED*, live and let live, thats what our gurus did. Akali Nihung Guru Gobind Singh Ji could have ordered all mandirs to be demolished back in the day but no, he had respect for people and their beliefs. I think our todays sangat needs to follow that very example!

Could not say it my self any better! Well done! Excellent post on this thread so far! Akal dhi ghal kithi! :TH:

[singh1986]

Sooo let me get something straight, if its okey for Guru Granth Sahib Ji to go to a Mandir as Guru Nanak Dev Ji went to Mandirs, Ganges and Mecca.... Why did we kick up a fuss over Ek Nivas and Baba VadhBhag (sp?) situation?.
