Wow. $4.5m. £2.88m.

I wonder how many hungry mouths that would feed.

Ask yourself how many gadgets you have and spend extra on other stuff while basic needs of human are so less ??

Before asking questions on gurughar atleast that place will feed someone spiritual food.

I've denied myself many things which could have brought me pleasure but that's besides the point.

When I saw this, I thought "What would Guru Ji do with this money? Would he spend it on himself or on others?" Certainly if I had £2.88m, I wouldn't keep all of it - take what I definitely needed and give the rest to charity.

That's great

That's 4.5 million that could have saved a bunch of lives by providing the dying with food..

As far as I know, Guru Sahib did not spend a lot of money constructing buildings for sangat. Even Sri Darbar Sahib did not have gold until Maharaj Ranjit Singh had it put on.

While some of the things like ramps and larger elevators are good to have, I don't think something like that would have contributed much to the total cost of $4.5million.

Singapore = £2.8m for a stunningly beautifull functioning gurdwara

Uk = £18m (£25 million in todays money) for a gurdwara (Southall) with leaking toilets which mean you have to step over puddles of pee to get to the urinal, taps that no longer work, dryers that no longer work. An £18 million gurdwara that looks more like a £1,5 million modern office complex.

Does the term 'he who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones' ring a bell ?
