Breaking Visual Link With Sggsj?

Fateh Ji

I recently attended the Hayes smagam and also Khalsa Camp 09.

In their katha, Gianni Thakur Singh ji iterated the amount of satkaar that should be shown to SGGSJ. Eg. when visiting and leaving the darbar hall, a matha taek should occur. They then went on to say that even if a pillar comes in between yourself and SGGSJ during one's movement in the darbaar hall, a matha taek should occur.

Along the similar lines, Bhai Surjit Singh ji at Khalsa Camp 09 iterated that during kirtan the visual link between the kirtani and SGGSJ should be maintained. For example, once a sevadaar was no longer required to do choar sahib di seva, he was not allowed to walk between SGGSJ and the kirtani - he would have to go along the other side of SGGSJ.

To what extent should this marayada be followed? And what is it's significance? I know a number of friends who do Parkarma of SGGSJ. Surely this will break everyone's visual link with SGGSJ. Typically at Bradford December Reinsabahi, parkarma was not allowed to take place and a box between the kirtani and SGGSJ was placed there to prevent this. And when a couple during their lavaan are carrying out a parkarma? This will bring into question this marayada's clarity.

Thanks in advance for your responses
