Hindu Aarti In Gurdwara

SAT SRI AKAL,

It's a very sad state of events for Sikh religion. The day is not far when Hindu idols will
be istalled in Gurdwara at the same time prakash of Guru Granth Sahib will be done. First Dasam granth was challenged now message of Guru Granth Sahib is questioned. But least we all we can do is spread the messsage of Sikh religion from grass roots levels and make people aware that Sikhism is distinct from both Hindusim and Islam.

It might sound harsh but that's the truth. I have myself seen the idols of Guru Nanak
is been sold at every outlet and idol worshipp is condemned in Sikhi. Only WAHEGURU
knows what's going to happen. Thanks

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA
WAGEGURU JI KE FATEH

It's not utterly wastefull... it is a sign of RESPECT! It is a way to do respect to God and when God sees us doing it and TRYING to make him feel good he does not object to it. It's just like saying "What is the point of bowing to a book because that is not god?". Please understand.

13800038 ji thanks for your post.

I believe couple of things we need to note.

First, you cannot please or displease God/Creator. He does not work on bribery, respect, requests, gifts, and all. Read the mool mantar as a starter and none of the qualities mentioned can be changed. What is important is to recognize as much of the creator within and all around and do actions respecting of such. The actions so carried out reflect your understanding. I tend to call it "living in consonance".

Answers to your bowing query are in your own thread below,
