Re: Hindu Aarti In Gurdwara

Will the writer, or any other friend, enlighten me as to what is meant by "Hindu Aarti"?
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/5503-hindu-aarti-in-gurdwara.html

Is it different from "Aarti"?

Saadh SANGAT Satsriakaalji,
I dont understand what the problem is when it comes to traditional practices....
The Panth has its birthplace in India..and if people feel ashamed to be associated with India..they will not hesitate to associate with the Panth.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=5503

There has to be understood that Babaji or Sant Kabirji ridiculed rituals in a way because the main motive to be spiritual was lost...since people were worried about mahurats...and they made them understand ...that just facing the east and chanting mantras and just offering water was not the only motive...the main motive was GOD...THE HARI PARMATMA....

We are claiming to be great by rejecting our own roots...just like neo-islamis...we have to understand we are not muslims...we are not idol haters or breakers...our Pehle Guru Padshaahji or the Dasve Padshaahji did not give the message to stop going to temples...or to hate hindus and India...
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=5503
He would never do that...we have the same blood....everyone has a different approach to God...

As much as we hate non keshdhaari hindus..do we have that much guts or the zeal to hate the mullah..who have been thirsty for our Guru's blood...perhaps no...
The Khalistanis lick their ***...to have their quota ...

I end here..and request you all to think...read Gurubani ..attend Sangat...
Why we do we say Ram Raje so many times...and not allahuakbar..

If your defination of a sikhi is a typical muslim way like ..woman almost covering everything...I feel you should think twice before you profess to be sikh...the Gurus had been broad minded...why are we going the taliban way?

May Guru Maharaj give all of us the shakti to realize truth...

Waheguru ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguruji ki Fateh
Dear Brother,


hindu Arti does not exist as at the time of Arti of Idols hindus were not an entity.

yes Guru Maharaj did oppsed idols and if you read Brahmsutra bu Lord Ved Vysa you will find again anti ido things but they remained theoratical but we are in fact told to break idols.


'These hindu worship Stone,thier mind is like stone,One day my Khalsa will rise to destroy the Devals(Temple)'

Guru Gobind Singh Ji Said this in Sau Sakhi.

let us see Dasham Granth.


'These hill people are idol worshipper while I Am idol breaker'.

Jaffer Nammah.

Being against idolartry is something good for Hindus as from the time of Jainism and Budhism Aryans forsake thier God and went to idolarty and kept on bveing defeated by invaders.


See in Guru Granth Sahib,Das is a former hindu and his father still has faith in Narad Bhakti Sutra(where only idolaroty and worship of person or demigod is preached)This Sutra is by that person who does Bad act so that quota of evil is over soon and good things come fast.He misguides.

So See this verse from Guru Granth Sahib JI.


ਮਃ
मः १ ॥
mehlaa 1.
First Mehl:

ਹਿੰਦੂ ਮੂਲੇ ਭੂਲੇ ਅਖੁਟੀ ਜਾਂਹੀ
हिंदू मूले भूले अखुटी जांही ॥
hindoo moolay bhoolay akhutee jaaNhee.
The Hindus have forgotten the Primal Lord; they are going the wrong way.

ਨਾਰਦਿ ਕਹਿਆ ਸਿ ਪੂਜ ਕਰਾਂਹੀ
नारदि कहिआ सि पूज करांही ॥
naarad kahi-aa se pooj karaaNhee.
As Naarad instructed them, they are worshipping idols.

ਅੰਧੇ ਗੁੰਗੇ ਅੰਧ ਅੰਧਾਰੁ
अंधे गुंगे अंध अंधारु ॥
anDhay gungay anDh anDhaar.
They are blind and mute, the blindest of the blind.

ਪਾਥਰੁ ਲੇ ਪੂਜਹਿ ਮੁਗਧ ਗਵਾਰ
पाथरु ले पूजहि मुगध गवार ॥
paathar lay poojeh mugaDh gavaar.
The ignorant fools pick up stones and worship them.

ਓਹਿ ਜਾ ਆਪਿ ਡੁਬੇ ਤੁਮ ਕਹਾ ਤਰਣਹਾਰੁ ॥੨॥
ओहि जा आपि डुबे तुम कहा तरणहारु ॥२॥
ohi jaa aap dubay tum kahaa taranhaar. ||2||
But when those stones themselves sink, who will carry you across? ||2||

And 556.
The way Guru oppsed the idol worshipping by Hindus so did Gurus oppsed dead or grave worship by Muslims or Turks(True Muslim can not do suchg sin but Turk can do).

ਬੁਤ ਪੂਜਿ ਪੂਜਿ ਹਿੰਦੂ ਮੂਏ ਤੁਰਕ ਮੂਏ ਸਿਰੁ ਨਾਈ
बुत पूजि पूजि हिंदू मूए तुरक मूए सिरु नाई ॥
but pooj pooj hindoo moo-ay turak moo-ay sir naa-ee.
Worshipping their idols, the Hindus die; the Muslims die bowing their heads to dead.


Ang 654.

Das can appriciate that you are and can not be a Muslim.

But Sikh is real follower of Islam(Muslim) as Islam meand surrender to God totaly.

Then coming to Indianness.


Gurmat does not recoganse the national boundaries.It is compulsion of Hindus that they,in order to give justification to thier name(meaning dark from term Andhawar or darkness in Farsi) try to stick to this name.

Gurmat says that person of God needs to be like God and our God is Adesh,not bound to a particular country as found as much in India as in US or Pakistan.

Similar thing Prush Sutra of holy Veda and Book of Issaiah of Old Testment say.

IN Jaffernammah Guru call Prophet as Rasool and God as Allah and this gives confirmation to mool Mantra of Islam but further to it,Guru term Holy Kuran as word of God.

http://www.sridasam.org/dasam?Action=Page&p=1469


See the link above to read the whole text.It is better to un derstand Faith correctly then livng in utopia.

Some of the Das brethern did find Guru as offensie to Hindus and stoped to rever him.Even father of das who lived in utopia that Guru Nanak was Vedi Brahmin lost devotion.

But Truth is truth and as it is.

Guru said niether there is Muslim nor Hindu as God is Adharam,As God lives in all faith,so god is free from communal divisons.As we are Khalsa,purly one with God so any attempt to bring us to divisions of Hindus or Muslims is not as per our faith.


Lastly coming back to Arti issue.

Turban we wear is more nearer to Shias,Matha Tekna or our bowing is same as Sizda of Muslims and not like Dandwat (where whole body is upside dowen kept in front of worshipped and head to stomach to knees to toes touch the ground).

So if Sizda,is there in us,If Panj Sanan(same as Waju of Islam ie cleaning hands,feet and face) is there and nop objiection then what is so fuss about Arti or Yagna being done for Akal.

Das would like to say ligthing Lamps or say Candles or say buring incense on alter like Yagna is part of semtic faith also.

main thing which we need to understand after realising the Truth is that same God works in Hindus and non Hindus and same in Sikhs and non Sikhs.

and in faith code or ritualism etc. does not matter in our Faith first thing is to understand that who is our God.once we understand that then all bhed(differances) are over.

Forgive das if some hurting things are writttan but das is as much anti to Indianism of Hindutva people as Das oppose punjabism of Khalistani brothers.

Our God is limitless and we will never succeed to limti out God by regioanl boundaries.Akal Bless.

Dear Brother Balber Singh Ji,

when idols become a sort wrong thing coming in and that too going against the main holy books say Vedas.

And making followers weaker due to division in socity.Better is to remove them.

I past idols of demi God divided Hindu socity and even some people due to thier so called lower birth wre not allowed to conme to places where such idols were kept.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=5503

This lead to their loss of faith in thier own community and they helped the invaders.

so to unit image of God ie Humans it was better to remove idols.Even in Sikh Gurudwaras like Darbar Sahib idols were thier.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=5503
1. As mark of thier showing as servent of Guru Granth Sahib.
2. As a thing to attract Hindus away from Brahmins.
3. But most probealbey to protect Idols from inavder who use to break them.
4.Foruth could be Gift from Hindus as what they liked to be best from thier side to Guru.


But later due to these idols,lower castes were not allowed in Darbar Sahib.So when Idols were removed along the Mahant Gandhi Ji termed as first victory of indipendance only keeping in mind the upliftment of untouchables.

Ironly is that at present we still have differnat Gurudwara for differnt Castes mmore in Punjab or in west.

Re: Hindu Aarti In Gurdwara

Dear Friends,

Gurfateh!

We Sikhs ourselves call Bani as "Sarab Sanjhi Babi". That would inply that Bani is for everyone unconditionally. Who are we Sikhs to treat Bani as our property? Who are we to stop anyone to approach Guru Granth Saheb and enjoy the Ras of Bani?
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=5503

We should let those who we consider sinners by our own standards to benefit form the greatest gift to manking - "Sarab Sanjhi Bani", and save themselves form the consequences of their sins.

Sikhs are known to have a 40" heart even in a 36" chest. Why not we show this to the world? Let there be more Bani readers in this world. It will be the best weapon to fight terroriats.

I request you all to carry this debate forward. It does not matter if you do not agree with me or others. We should let all streams of ideas to flow freely. Like open windows.

Guru Nanak would love that!

Manmohan.

Dear Bro!

Niether Das nor Sikh Gurus had any sort of enimity towards anyone.

And Idol worshiper can be spritualminded and can get salvaged by mercy of Akal and say who hate Idol can have life like hell.

Say Wahabis,Arya Samajis and our own puresist of Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

But thin here is that does this ritaul caused or causes any problem with social and political thing.Answer is YES.

when Somanth was looted ,instead of figthing people just kept bowing to idol and result was not OK.

So when Gurus preached Akal worship over idolatory ,it was good for idolworshipper to protect them and it was as per Vedic anf Vedanic and semitic books.

The same is with the Sikhs these days. There was news few days back that Sikhs took away Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji from a village because people were not able to respect Him as they wanted. Apart from this they blamed that cigarettes were lying on the floor around the holy Guru.

It was surprising why these persons did not demonstrate the respect for the Guru by cleaning the floor instead of removing HIM and make those villagers feel of belonging to lower caste among Sikhs.

It would be great and wonder when someone can sweep ignorance by removing idols.

The world is full of idol worshipers.

Is a Sikh to spend life in controlling and stopping idol worship?

In my view, ignorance vanishes by true Simran alone.

Strange is that Hindu Scriptures often mention God beyond Maya. Still, many of them have become worshipers of sculptures made of stones.

The Gurus sang. All movements are God's Aartee. O God! Aartee takes place as you like it.

Today Sikhs give Hindus a wry smile because they do Aartee with lamps, flowers, etc. in hands.

And Hindus give Sikhs a dry smile because they do Aartee with Harmonium, Tabla etc. in hands,



Balbir Singh
Gurfateh
what Tenth Guru thought about idol worshipping can be seen from Triya Charitat 266 or say 405ned at Chaupayee Sahib.Or say Jaffernammah,where Guru calls himslef a idol breaker.


But even in Tau Prasad Swaye of Akal Ustat at end we repeat as Guru said.

Some one worship idols.some one runs to worship dead,they all run for filthy act and do not get the end of Sir Lord(God).

When we are to bow to Guru Panth or Guru Granth as a rule when our forehead touches ground we need to keep God in our mind and no object,no man dead or alive,no image and no thing which is made say a scriputre also.

Same is told while we are told to do Naam Abhyas.
