The Vatican

[akjbabbar]

Has any amritdahri vsiited the vatican. Reason i ask is i am led to believe that they search u on entry and wondered what there policy is of letting a amritdhari in with a kirpan on. I would be grateful if someone could give me some feedback or even a email address for some one at the vatican i can send to. looking to go soon and would like to visit the vatican museums etc, but not if they make you take your kirpan off.

Contact Guru Nanak Nishkam Sevak Jatha (Soho Road Walay). As a jatha they have met the pope several times, I think they even gave him a Sri Sahib a few years back.

Bhaji,

There was a rumour a while ago that archived in the vaults of the vatican there is an account of two holy men who came from the east in the 15th Century and they think it was Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Bhai Mardana Ji.

This should not sound as far fetched as it first seems, as we know Guru Sahib Ji travelled to centre of all the major faiths. Guru Ji travelled as far as Bagdhad and there is even a stone tablet in Turkey commemorating Guru Sahib Ji.

So, if you get a chance and nobody is looking, nip down a dark corridor and go into the catacombs and dig out this information from the vaults.

thanks for the prompt replies. I think we are missing the point here. The photos of phaldip singh and Bhai Mohinder Singh at the vatican are as guests. I have been told once you pay to go in you are put through a metal detector. Im sure Phalidp and others were ok as they went representing an organsiation as guests of the vatican.

it woul dbe a shame that a sikh would not be allowed to go and see the vatican and sistine chapel when SIkhs welcome everyone to there place of worship.

im going to see if i can find a email address for someone high up in the vatican and email them. If any one knows Phaldip personally can they ask him if there someone we can email or speak to.

Spoke to Phaldip and yes, you are allowed to take your Sri Sahibs in.
