Nice photos Kaur-1

Although, i can't say i agree with some of pictures of the gurus and some of the attention given to certain things. It makes me wonder if people actually worship some of this stuff.

Keep up the good photography!

Oh no Veerji, I didnt take them. They were posted by Sat1176 in Sikhsangat and discoversikhi.

I too questioned about the same thing in my mind. Are they worshiping or just showing respect.? Not too sure.
What do you think? Where is the border line for this act? Where do we draw the line?
