[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 162847, member: 2610"] WJKK WJKF, Ekoankar is Akal Moorat, the timeless idol (timeless and idol, both formless and form). Both creator and creation exist in time but Ekoankar is beyond time. To unlearn (go beyond) time helps to recognize Ekoankar. and yes it is possible to unlearn time. Worship this Akal Moorat in whatever rituals you perform. The timeless is everywhere even in an idol. Gurudwaras are not much different from temples. Only the rituals that take place inside are different. The various traditions in Hinduism have their own different set of rituals. So a simple comparison cannot be made. Also there are ancient temples where the Gods are carved inside the temples and even on the outside, all over. [IMG]http://www1.sulekha.com/mstore/madanmohantarun/albums/default/3_1%20Goda%20Ganapati%20Temple.jpg[/IMG] I am guessing this is why temples themselves are worshipped. Needless to say any place carrying a sacred object is worthy of worship. We often bow down before we even enter a gurudwara. This is to say we are entering sacred space. We then bow to the Nishaan sahib (or in the west, the Nishan Sahib before the Gurudwara itself). Then we bow to the Guru Granth Sahib and the Weapons that are placed in front of it. And if you are in Harimandir Sahib then you bow down to Dakhni Deori, a place where Baba Deep Singh ji laid down his head, etc etc. Really? Which tradition do you follow? What religious text do you follow? Who is/are your God(s)? And this is where I fulfill Harry ji's prophecy. what would he do without me? Yes No. As far as the authors of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are concerned, they do/did/will exist. Original intention? The first "Gurudwara" was called Hari Mandir, popularly known as the Golden Temple. 'nuff said. Gurudwara, Mandirs, churches, mosques are a place of ritual, devotion and love, which we call worship. There is no such thing as a non-ritual activity. Any non-ritual activity that you are going to do in a gurudwara is by definition a ritual. Let's say you go there to listen to or sing kirtan, this is a ritual. You go there to read paath, a ritual. You go there to clean shoes, a ritual. Now learning and contemplation can also happen but the latter is better done in solitude. If you can find solitude in a gurudwara great. But I can get that at home and I think it's better (and healthier) to perform rituals in the Gurudwara than sit on your butt and be lost in thought. I think any person who has studied them both, knows they are not the same. And any person who has studied them both, knows they are very related. [/QUOTE]
