Why do they always describe gurdwaray in terms of "sacredness"? i mean one gurdwara isnt really more sacred or "holy" than another is it? does a gurdwara gain sacredness points if it has a story attached to it? (im not trying to demean the sakhi behind this gurdwara, but its just not right to say "second most sacred place for sikhs")
