You've bought it and presumably spent a small fortune on it; with the intention of registering it with your car.

So what has happended now that made you doubt and change your mind?

Unless Woody and Buzz Lightyear are attached to the back of your car, how would anyone put their feet on it? Unless you mean deliberately? Should've thought of that before you splashed out. Also, Waheguru is the Sikh term for God, i.e. we can't claim to "own" him exclusively. If someone were to put their feet on it (bizarrely) then isn't that a slight not just on Sikhs but on anyone who believes in God?

The question is why did you buy it ???

ANS= EGO< EGO>EGO

It's your ego, don't worry i'm not criticizing, but we all fall into EGO again and again.

You have done a good thing here, by asking.

Fact is that you know somehow that it feels wrong. This is the lord inside you informing you.

Consider yourself lucky that you are getting this message.

I have fallen into ego and purchases many times, in the past I had more money than 'akal' at times and wouldn't even look at the price before purchasing whatever I could get my hands on.

Now, your plate is NOT holy, in the sense it's not sacred like a gutkha. Let's say it was sacred, then exposing it on the streets for people to touch or kick or spit at would be very offensive, similar to doing graffiti on a gutkha.

BUT, it is NOT sacred, but the WORD is.

'Waheguru' is sacred and in all honesty NO ONE is going to give you the correct and positive answer here.

So,some will say it's fine and some will say it's not, but no answer is going to be definite.

What I would do here is use your instinct or gut feeling.

If your conscious tells you not to use it then don't. I would try to think of it as you purchasing it to stop anyone else abusing it.

In effect, you are then doing a seva by having this responsiblity.

Think of it as something you want to keep or even donate to the gurdwara.-Some gurdwaras have their own vehicle for taking the Guru Granth Sahib to residences and akhand paths ..etc.. It would be the most appropriate vehicle for the plate.

Personally, I would feel awkward if it were on my car. I mean, imagine my car driving down with 'waheguru' on the plate with some bhangra or ragga blasting away!! -It just wouldn't be right-,....That is just my personal opinion.

I would feel that I'm carrying a responsibility with me and not being responsible.

That is the simplist way of thinking about it. If your conscious feels this responsibility and fear of being irresponsible,then I would not apply it to my vehicle and instead put it to some good use. Think of it as good seva by applying it to a Gurudwara vehicle.

On the other hand, if your conscious does not give you this feeling of guilt and irresponsibility, then by all means feel free to apply it to whatever vehicle you wish.

ONLY YOU can decide the answer, ONLY YOU.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
