Gursikhs have the humility to think themselves lower than sangat. By having chairs in the gurdwara, I think we'd see chardi kala gursikhs take the opportunity to sit lower than the rest of the sangat. Won't this be a problem?

If everyone sits on the floor, then there won't be any problems. I don't think its about progressing or evolutionizing... i think it has more to with logic and basic understanding of how diwans are run.

In addition to that, many gursikhs have talked about "vibrations" you get from sitting in sangat. Can you have such an experience if you have to sit on chairs, isolated in comparison to on the floor?

That happens everytime when the train goes past.

Hopefully the pews will cancel out the vibrations from those damn trains. Good underfloor insulation will also help.

sitting on the floor is humility and humbleness infront of guru ji.

sitting on chairs negates the humility and humbleness.

for petes sake, just grab a chair if your so damn insistent and sit on it.

dood u must have like a billion chairs in your house us eem to be inlove w/ them

humility and humbleness ?

These words from you? Pot calling the kettle black? rolleyes.gif

ohmy.gif hahahaha good one mate :lol:

Yea, I wasn't talking about vibrations from the ground. I was talking more along the lines of vibes and stuff. I'm sure you've noticed a spiritual difference when sitting in diwan when its full and when its empty.

i myself would not sit in darbaar sahib on a chair, no matter how old or disabled i become

however i would not condem people who desperately want to sit in darbaar sahib but are unable to due to physical ailments and therefore use a chair.

someone told me the other day that gyani nahar singh crawled up the stairs to darbar sahib as he didnt want to take his wheel chair inside.

WHATEVER...This topic isn't even worth my time. He says that and She says that. What a bunch of hot air. I could quite honestly care less if someone sitts their butt in a chair or on the floor in darbar hall. That's first grade stuff there. Let's get beyond it and find the ultimatate treasures, because if you worry about crap like this, then you're going to keep on coming back in the cycle of life and death.

    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
