Change from Guru Ji?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

This may seem weird to ask, and it may seem totally fine with nothing wrong with it at all. Sometimes at Kirtan programs, I can't help but notice that someone may put down a $20 bill, bow to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and then pick up a $10 and a $5 bill (just an example). Let's forget the Manmath in watching how much someone donates, but I was just wondering, is this right? Is there anything wrong with only wanting to put $5 instead of the $20 bill in your hand? I just wanted to get some different perspectives of this matter.

I'm sorry... I was just curious.

Please forgive me for any and all mistakes.

another question:

should Gurdwaras have those things where we can use bank cards... B) ? I mean like i never have money in my pocket...but this really is a stupid question...sorry for going off-course. but it would be cool though....i don't know...the money from Golak is going to go to a Bank account anyway, why isn't it directed payed to the accont...and we don't need to see the maya and these types of things might not happen... :wub:

navdeep singh,

I have always hated this. When I was a kid my family members would ask me to go get change, I would say no. If they forced me, I would go matha tek it and they would get no money back!

Taking change is weird. get change from the bank before you go to gurudwara if you have to.

Sat Sri Akal:

:wub:

First time I waw that, I was about eight. A person had just put down some money and started to take money from the golak. I stared wide-eyed, but said nothing ohmy.gif . Later on, as we were going home, I said to my family, "Hey, there was a person STEALING money from Guru Sahib!". I described the situation to my parents, and they told me about the "exchange program".

Good paranoid times...

:e:

I think it is still taking from guru sahib. You are offereing guru sahib say $20. And then after you offer him that, you take $19 back from guru sahib? you are STEALING from guru sahib!!

would you bring a big bag of atta for the langar and then once its all made into rotis, cart off the boxes of parshadas and leave 2 for the sangat?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
