[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 25447, member: 189"] In the 1935's famous and eminent sikhs like Bhai Khan Singh Nabha, Principal teja Singh, principal Harbhajan Singh, Prof Ganga singh,Dr Mann Singh Nirankari..etc etc even decided that "IF" some western Based Sikhs feel the need to have Chairs/Benches/Pews in side the Darbaar Sahib...there is no problem as long as the Parkash of SGGS is done at a HIGHER LEVEL. The Only issue of Langgar is PANGAT..and that word means a Straight LINE/ORDERLY FASHION of seating arrangement...and a BENCH is equally "FAIR and EQUAL" as the floor. A Lower caste sitting on the BENCH next to a High caste Brahmin...feels same equality if they were sitting on the floor. What happens to "equality" IF..the Brahmin is sitting on a clean MARBLE/GOLD PLATED FLOOR...while the Low caste is made to sit next to him on plain cement floor/kacha floor ?? IS the FLOOR "EQUAL" ?? The PRAMPARA thing holds no water...according to Prampara The GURUS used to Ride Horses to travel...why do we DISCARD this PRAMPARA and use busses, cars, cycles , trains, and airplanes ?? According to Prampara everyone was required to WASH DIRTY DUSTY FEET before entering a house...( everyone in those days had dusty dirty feet !!) but NOW we travel in Planes and Limos, with Carpets and wear expensive leather shoes socks...whose feet are dusty/dirty ?? In those days the PRampara was to BATHE in the SROVAR Provided as travelling was DUSTY/DIRTY...now a days everyone bathes at home in hot water shower etc before coming to Gurdawra in a limo/Taxi/Car....no one is Dusty/dirty.. PRAMPARA is just an excuse..to be discarded or used when we like..when the Jathedars have NO ANSWER..they fall back on "eh Prampara hai jee..???" what a load of bull. AS Balbir Singh ji mentioned..During GURU JI's time it was the Prampara to CHHAK LANGGAR FIRST..before GURU JI DARSHAN. Read how even EMPEROR AKBAR was ordered by Guru amardass Ji to go sit in PANGAT and chhak langgar first before he could have Darshan of Guru Ji. WHO decided to do away with THIS PRAMPARA which even an Emperor of India couldnt BREAK ?? and WHY ?? Why havent the Jathedars said anything about this break with Prampara ?? is one prampara important and others not ?? The Sad Truth is that soem Caandian Sikhs wanted to Win the Local Gurdwara Elections at any cost...they found a like minded Jathedar to join in their scheme to make the Chairs tables party lose the elction..by declaring them tankhiyahs and agaisnt Akal Takhat...see what happened..The ENTIRE SIKH WORLD is DIVIDED...half sit on the floor and half sit on chairs...and the Chairs tables Lobby WON all the Gurdwara Elections...and the Sikhs declared tankhiyah dont give two hoots to the Jathedar who himself was UNCEREMONIOUSLY SACKED by his boss Badal...in 24 hours. Such Paid jathedars come and go almost weekly...and their hukmanams have no value..as the incoming jathedar exempts the previous ones hukmanamas... Jarnail Singh Gyani [/QUOTE]
