All Sikhs know that...millions of Rumallahs are offered to the SGGS in Gurdawras all over the world.... SO MANY in fact that in some places like Harmandar sahib Amrtisar..each Rumallah only gets a BRIEF 10 SECOND TOUCH to SGGS..and is then packed OFF..to the Store room...or back to the Shop to be RESOLD...again and again..and again....
Gurdawaras all over have store rooms chock full of rumallahs....Its become a RITUAL ...blindly followed...to offer a rumallah to SGGS at every ocassion..bhog of paath...bhog of akhand paath..etc etc...
This Months Gurmatt Parkash...monthly organ of the SGPC offers a suggestion that ...ALL old rumallahs be CREMATED and their Holy ASHES be put in flowing water....almost simialr to what is done in Human cremation... WHAT a COLLOSAL WASTE of PRECIOUS RESOURCES of the SIKH COMMUNITY..when MILLIONS of POOR go without CLOTHES on their Backs ???
1. All Sikhs should donate a sum of cash in lieu of a rumallah...
2. WHY not donate a piece of Good Cloth....which can then be used by the Gurdwara to make tents..chadars..usable in other ways...
3. Why not donate the cloth to the POOR to wear...
Gurdawars have SHABAD LANGGAR...for GYAN of Guru...
Gurdwaras have FOOD Langgars to feed the hungry...
Gurdawaras should have the CLOTH LANGGAR..to cover/clothe the Needy and the Naked...
ROTI...KAPPRRA...aur MAKAAN !!!.....housing for the needy can come next...
