[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 96660, member: 189"] Dear All, Even though its relatively easy to "rationalise" any behaviour..soem of the actions that we see daily on Live TV happening in Harmandir Sahib Amrtisar on Sattelite..are bordering on the ritualistic behaviour we see happening in Hindu Mandirs also broadcast simultaneously on other live channels. To a complete "neutral/stranger" to BOTH Sikhismand hinduism...it woudl be hard pressed to distinguish between the two except for the clearly visible differences..like the Hindu mandir Idols are made of stuff that can be "washed" in milk/yoghurt etc..while the SGGS doesnt get this treatment. The way the Palki Sahib is mobbed and carried..is similar to the Raths in which Hindu Idols ride/ or are transported..the "palkis/raths are also look alikes in every way...The Idols are bathed..the SGGS Rumallas are endlessly wiped/rubbed/cleaned agian and again...layer after layer..layer after layer...OUT of the 30 minutes we in malaysia get of this Daily Broadcast...hardly a MINUTE is for the actual reading of the HUKM..nothing about explaining the Hukm..etc. ( This si related only to the Live TV broadcast). At night the harmandir is bathed in milk..( sewa exclusively to MALES ONLY)....similar to mandirs... It is the Sad TRUTH that we pay LESS attention to the GYAAN in the GURU..and MORE attention to his rumallas/palkis/floors of the Gurdwaras...etc etc..thats why we give so much towards building marble gurdwaras, golden domes, golden palkis, marble palkis..and SO LITTLE to MISSIONARY efforts/Printing of Tracts/Pamphlets/Literature on Gurbani/Punjabi Schools/Gurbani Parchaar..etc etc etc. A "sant" collecting donations for a brand new Gurdwara..will get tons of money in no time...but an appeal for a Khalsa School..will get trickles of few dollars. This is the reason why our Gurdawars OVERFLOW (literally) with OLD RUMALLAHS ( Brand New ones actually and used just ONCE ). ..with no space to store them.and then wehn SPACE runs OUT....these rumallahs are...AGAN BHET (BURNT) with Fanfare/langgar/ardass/and "religious fervour......BUT our Gurdwara LIBRARIES..are THREAD BARE...no books..no media..no computers..NOTHING !! ALL these "rituals" cannot be dismissed or disguished...thats what they are and thats what we got to say they are..whether we like it or not [/QUOTE]
