Guru Granth Sahib In Homes

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw!

vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!

Just wanted to get teh sangat's thought as to keeping maharaj di beed at home, why or why not. At my house we got pothis of SGGS with arth and sakhi, I beleive that's the best way to learn from your Guru, and also giving it the same respect.

This raises another question, should you keep the pothis in a closet (is it ok?) or have the pothis on a daybed/high seat of some sort, obviously clean sheets, and decorated because its still Gurbani.

Anyways, what you guys think? :T:

If you look at some of the event in Sikh history where Some of our Guru ji's i.e Guru NAnak Dev ji, Guru Hargobind singh ji have gone to a GurSikh's house and eaten the most humblest of meal prepared with love, while sitting on the floor then it would be obvious that Guru ji's don't want Beautiful Beds and Clothes and Meal. All they want is GurSikh's Pyaar and shardha.

Guru Granth Sahib ji should be treated the same way. If a sikh can afford a Seperate room for Guru ji then He/She should place SGGS ji in their own room and a bed. But If Love for the Guru ji is not there then Placing Guru ji in a Palace will not make a difference.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Maharaja Ranjit Singh had SGGS parkash in the topmost room in his palace. Some people do be-adbee by keeping SGGS in basement or behind staircases (i heard in a katha). As far as possible, try to keep SGGS at the best place in your home :D

Sat Sri Akal:

A Sikh (amritdhari) is required to keep a Guru Grath Sahib in their house to do Sudhharan Paath each day (read a little bit at a time from startto finish).

Should it be allowed? ABSOLUTELY! The alternative is Sikhism turning into Catholics, where the priests have all the knowledge and use it to manipulate the common folk.

Solution? Only authorized shops/gurudwaras should be able to hand over a Guru Granth Sahib Bir to a person, and upon an oath of treating the Guru Saroop with proper respect. This should also count for volumed study sets.

Agree.. I so agree that we should keep guru granth sahib jee downstairs while there is room upstairs.. BUT in some situation it's understandable and okay, for example living in bottom level apartment or Condo etc while having no control of upstairs rooms.... u know what i mean..

We have a cool big hut around the garden only made for guru sahib jee and im in charge of interior decoration :nihungsmile:

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
