Say no to Guru's pictures

I know the pictures that we come across may not have any true resemblance with gurus but I do think they are pretty close.

They are the artist's impression- true !

But they do give us a good idea of how to differentiate between Guru Nanak ji and Guru Gobind Singh ji. I mean how else would one know and confirm that they have had darshan of Guru Nanak ji or Guru Gobind ji or even Both.

We have every right to say that the impression of the artist may be false, but we have no right to refute someone's claim of darshan !

Say the picture looked exactly like the Guru, would you respect it then?

Also showing respect and and worshipping the picture of the Guru's body is two different things. The Shabad you posted speak about worshipping not respecting.

Very well said bhai sahib ji.

Leave aside pictures missionary elements do not accord any respect to them and even our Gurudwara sahibs saying pilgrimage is shunned in sikhi.

Having pictures of Guru sahibs is a demonstration of mark of respect and not idol worship.

The answer is very clear. THE IMAGINARY PICTURES OF OUR GURUS HAVE NO PLACE IN SIKHI.

The answer is that disrespect to our Gurus who were themselves Satguru has no place in sikhi.

Yes as a clarification - das did not mean animations or historic depictions - just the pictures with halo in the back to which people do matha tek !

Not that only.It is missionary agenda under which there is a systematic compaign to show no respect to our Guru sahibs.They say Guru sahibs have gone and what is the benefit of respecting them.They have SGGS ji and missionaries want to confine to that only.

But keep in mind that sikhi comprise our scriptures, history and traditions. They are the ones who propagates against respect for Guru sahibs pictures and even our Gurudawras.

What relevance has this quote from Guru Granth Sahib to do with the subject being discussed here.

And to remind you again , Say no to Guru's pictures.

The quote accords utmost respect to our Guru sahiban.

Who are you to tell me NO about pictures.If you want to follow atheist agenda follow it but do not tell others

to follow it. Do you get it.

It has been written that respect is not idol worship.

Do only missionaries complain about pictures ???

What's the deal with GPS then ???????

Yes they are the ones who has started all this. They not only question pictures of our Guru sahibs

but also condemn respect shown to shashters, personal possessions of Guru sahib, even belief in Guru sahibs

calling them as dead persons.

They call such acts as rituals. We know what is ritual and what is not. As has been repeatedly told that respect towards Guru sahibs pictures is not idol worship.Then what else is left to be sought.

We know we are believer in shabad Guru and no one need to remins this to us. Missionaries need to be told that what is shabad Guru as they do not know about this.

One of my relatives visited Harmandir sahib and met some missionary friends who were in touch with him on line.He was not knowing that they were missionaries.

Two of them took him to Bhai Veer singh's house on his demand and then accompanied him to Harmandir sahib.

Missionaries started telling him like this

1 What is the purpose of having scared pool and maintain it.

2 Why people are bowing to Nishan sahib

3 Why sangat go around parikarma.This is a ritual.

He told me that all the time he was there they were criticizing everything. He did not dare to call them again.This is a true happening.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
