ok i have heard your reasons for bowing to shasters as stated in bani such as in the shaster naam mala

what about this shabad from Sri guru granth sahib ji

Raag kanra mahala 5

simrat naam maneh sukh paiyai

it is sung beautifully by bhai balbir singh and is on the raag guldasta album which you can download and listen to on the net.

in the shabad come

"Charan santan kay matha mero paar bhram ko simar manah"

please explain what your meaning is of this?

Kandola veer ji on the silver palki are steeks of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Sooraj Prakash

Sat Sri Akal:

kam1825 Sahib Ji, the hukamnama states that one should not bow down to/matha tek to any human in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib.

You may do whatever you want in terms of showing respect outside of the presence of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and a Gurudwara according to the hukamnama.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

actually, bhenji, sants are also here forever

bani says sants never die

bhula chuka maf

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw!

vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!

True, sants are here forever.

BUT NO-ONE can tell who's a sant, and whos not. Seriously, as someone mentioned in a different post, there were no "sants" in Gurujee's time... even those Gurmukhs who had written in the Guru Granth Sahib were not called Sant. Now, suddenly, we have a million of 'em?

That is not entirely true.

kiaa aparaadhh sa(n)th hai keenhaa ||

What sin has this Saint committed,

baa(n)dhh pott ku(n)char ko dheenhaa ||

that you have made him into a bundle and thrown him before the elephant?

In this Shabad Bhagat Kabeer is clearly being referred to as a Sant.

You can read the complete shabad here.

S1ngh veerji,

from the thukh above, isn't it clear that the word Sant is referring to Bhagat Kabeer Jee?

Please read the whole shabad and let me know what you think... :T:

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

I personally bow down to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ^_^ because thats our present guru. Sants are sants, they are going to come and go but SGGS ji is going to be here forever. Sants preaches about sikhi and they get the information from SGGS ji and they tell us that. Who deserve better respect Guru ji or a sant?

bhula chuka maff. i am just a kid who is trying to learn

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh

i am actually shocked at your statement of the position you place Sants in. They just dont' come and go. Their coming in this world is like a light that dispells the darkness for the world.

Tell me who is greater the Flute or the one who blows in the flute to create music. Both are necessary, without the flute no music is created, without the musician the flute is just a hollow tube. The Saint and the Guru Grant Sahib have equal Importance. You should try to be inthe presence of a living Saint and see the Changes that occur with or without your awareness. The importance Guru Grant Sahib gives to the Saints is highly regarded. So they don't just come and go. Out of 100 Saints 99 of the are pseudo-saints and one of them is a tr

ue saints, so they just don't come and go.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
