Hygene Langar

[jkvlondon]

My word, that's shocking. I thought maybe he'd have been fished out as soon as he fell in, but that's horrible. Is there a chance of his skin returning to normal the older he gets, or is that impossible? Kids shouldn't be messing around in langar kitchens. Some parents seem to relinquish all responsibility for their children when they're at the Gurdwara, as if nothing can go wrong.

they did but no first aider available to stop them from making those life endangering mistakes , a child his size could die from the shock of cold water getting thrown on him... they needed to submerge him into lukewarm water tank to stop the tissue cooking then take him out and wrap him in blanket to keep his body temperature from dropping too low. They had zero first aid boxes to hand as well which is pretty bad as so much sangat visits .

Two of the Gurdwaras I frequent have their kitchens inspected by the local authority on an annual basis. The findings of each inspection are posted on the noticeboard near the front doors.

Thats interesting didn't know inspectors came. Its not like its a restaurant with paying people. More of a community meal. But its good to know that procedures are in place to make sure everything is above board in terms of food hygiene standards.

What kind of spiritual people are infatuated with hygiene :)

India vich ALL langar is made by amritdhari people , sehajdhari do pandey sewa

no not all langar is made by amritdharis. Sahejdharis also make langar. I am a non amritdhari but i also help people to make langar.

When everything is in God's hand why do we worry about such little things? If I'm going to get extremely ill from food, it's going to happen regardless of whether I ate some bad langar or not.

Also, the only people who should be complaining about this matter are those that keep Bibek rehat (only eat from food put together by an Amritdhari).

For those that don't follow Sikh rehat, who cares? Man does not hesitate to regularly consume alcohol or eat meat yet we're worried about some dirt being in our sabji?

We need to stop worrying about these little things.

With this logic I guess ill just start j-walking across traffic etc, live without a worry, I mean everything is in Gods hands no? Might as well we all quit our jobs everything, its all in Gods hands! Ps most people do worry about unsafe meat, just as we should care about how the langar we eat is.

And youre not just going to get sick from food lol, obviously youll have to eat some bad food, so why not avoid it?

The kind of spiritual people who follow a Rehat, of which one of the key constituents is arising at dawn for a full-body wash before settling down to meditate. Those kind of spiritual people ?

It's a good initiative in my opinion. The places I was referring to have been awarded nothing less than the top rating in the few years I've been aware of such a system being in place. I occasionally have reason to go into the kitchen of one of the Gurdwareh, and it genuinely is pristine, despite it being a small, local Gurdwara.

A beautiful sakhi based on the way langar was prepared for Guru Arjun Dev Ji, despite the sevadaars saman and musan had nothing to spend.

I'm sorry to hear that you have such little faith in Waheguru. You will never leave the cycle of death until you accept that everything happens in his will.

Read this shabad and then re-think your stance Gurmukho. Pay particular attention to the lines which I have bolded. Read what your Guru tells you and stop being an ignorant fool.
