Re: Disabled people & Reht Maryada
Jios,..

1. The Ceremony is an INITIATION CEREMONY and its correct name is KHANDEY BATTE DEE PAHUL.

2. Thus its not discriminatory in any way to regulate that ONLY THE BEST..able bodied persons in the best of health be the ones initiating new ones into the Khalsa.
The Five have to be on bended knee for a considerable time....one hand on the Batta edge..one hand stirring the Khanda..and RECITING the Banis while looking at the water being stirred. After that all the initiated ones are going to DRINK from the same batta...eat from the same plate...obvioulsy any chronic sick etc cant be allowed in.

People read too much into such situations...after all just how many of us would feel comfortable flying with a blind pilot..a chronic sick pilot....a handicapped in wheelchair pilot...etc...or even a bus driver..a doctor..???? would we eat with a waiter coughing all over our food ?? Would we cry..DISCRIMINATION ??? why shouldnt a H1Ni infected waiter not serve....he he he

There are plenty of BLIND ragis..granthis..sevadaars...plenty of cripples serving as granthis ragis etc etc...no discrimination...nothing to worry...
