this has been bothering me to. I tend to gather all these together and do saskar, or give them to some one to burn respectfully.

With the increase of Panjabi/english Sikh news papers what hould be done. Cn the newspapers be recycled. I currently gather them and burn them. is recycling thm an option? :T:

well...i think its alright to recycle news papers, as long as theres no gurbani written on it. but if there is, jus tear off that little bit and recycle the rest.

another option that a lot of gursikhs are beginning to adopt is shredding, especially since there is so much material with english gurbani, or ikonkars, or khandas.

In this case, gurbani is the word, a whole word, not a letter, right, so by shredding, you get lines, or whole letters, but never a complete word of gurbani, and so you can recycle it.

if u or u know someone that can use it then keep it somewhere or else throw it away. burning doesnt really make a difference

another note language seems to be the main thing keeping other cultures from adapting to sikhism so doing more stuff in english is a good thing. i dont believe its important to utter the exact gurmukhi words if u dont even understand what ur saying at all

Any given punjabi newspaper is bound to have some Gurbani in it. I would suggest that you recycle it since it can become difficult to burn them in urban areas.

The smaller things like wedding cards, I tend to burn those.
