Gurdwara Or Guru Ghar ?

[sat]

Gurdwara or Guru ghar ?, because of late that's all i hear most sikhs saying Guru ghar , which implies it to be the home of the Guru only,

but Gurdwara implies the dar of the Guru for everyone so actually our home, just a thought i have had for a please dont take this in a negative way, and this is not a criticism, just a question i have as i am still learning too.

When i was a child we always said/heard Gurdwara, but now all i hear is Guru ghar.

Makes no difference:

The Sarbloh Granth Sahib is essential to understand the concept of the Khalsa Panth. The word ‘Khalsa’ is Persian in origin meaning: pure, unalloyed, with direct contact and responsibility of the owner. In the Deccan and during the Mughal rule, land or property invested directly for the ruler used to be called ‘Khalsa’. It is said that Bhagat Kabir used this word for those who reject meaningless rituals and are attached in true love with their Creator alone (Kaho Kabīr jan bhae Khālse Prem Bhagati jih jānī) . The spiritual and temporal meaning of this word appealed to the Tenth Guru. He has employed it extensively in the Sarbloh Granth Sahib:

‘Ātam ras jo jānahī so hai Khālsā dev. Prabh mai mo mai tās mai raṅchak nāhin bhev.’

‘Khalsa is the one who experience the bliss of the Super-Soul. There is no difference between God, me (Guru Gobind Singh) and him.’

‘Khālsā mero rūp hai khās. Khālse meṅ hau karo niwās’

‘The Khalsa is my special form. I reside in the Khalsa’

‘Khālsā Akāl Purakh kī Phauj. Pragaṭio Khālsā Paramātam ki mauj.’

‘Khalsa is God’s own legion. The Khalsa is manifest due to the Supreme-Soul’s own wish.’

Please note that in Akali Hazura Singh’s exegesis, the Khalsa is the liberated form of Nirankar (Prāpati Niraṅkarī sivrūp mahānaṅ.), not Shiv ji, as some misled Snatan revivalists are trying to claim.

The publication also contains the verses narrating the Gurgaddī passing to the Guru Granth Sahib and Guru Khalsa Panth, the importance of Vāhigurū mantra, and the Das grāhī-Das tiāgī (Ten virtues to hold – Ten vices to renounce) for the Khalsa, orated by Guru Gobind Singh.
