[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 152267, member: 189"] The Sikh Gurus were PRACTICAL PEOPLE...BHOOKHEH BHAGAT NA KEECHEY...a hungry man cannot concnetrate of Spiritual subjects... Thats why there is SHABAD DA LANGGAR...spirituality..and there is GURU KA LANGGAR..food for the stomach... Karrah Parshaad is simple food easily prepared by just about anyone..every house has ATTA, SUGAR, GHEE and WATER. Even the poorest of the poor could have all these in his house. For "short" session of Shabad Langgar acompaniement...this Karrah parshaad is PERFECT....so that after having tasted the AMRIT SWEETNESS fo SHABAD...in the MIND...the tongue and stomach also get their "food". 2. [B]SPIRITUAL Connotation....EQUALITY[/B]. IN mkaing Karrah prshaad its [B]MANDATORY[/B] that EQUAL PARTS of atta/ghee/sugar/water be USED. Another ingrdient specifiacally REQUIRED is Naam - usually JAJI SAHIB is recited while rpepapring it and no outside talk/gossip permitted. The JAPJI also serves very well as an automatic TIMER...becasue the ATTA must be perfectly roasted in GHEE..before the Sugar/water mixture is applied...too late..and the Parshjaad becoems over cooked/dark and reelases GHEE whcih DRIPS out...and too soon..and the karrah is PALE...STICKY like GLUE..and difficult to distribute/eat...(Atta being undercooked) Japji sahib read at normal speed is perfect timing !! In my personal experience ....150 years of making this havent got it wrong even once..always PERFECT. 3. EQUALITY in INGREDIENTS..is followed by EQUALITY in DISTRIBUTION..every one gets a portion...no discrimination among poor/rich/man/woman/low/high caste /religious differences etc etc.. ALL Have to be SEATED and served in PANGAT in the DARBAR SAHIB....(although not mandatory as conveneince can be allowed for). Karrah parshad is NEVER served in Guru Ka Langgar........../its place is DARBAR of GURU. One has to ATTEND the DARBAR to get it. 4. UP to the 1920s when the Singh Sabha took control of darbar sahib Amrtisar and otehr Gurdwaras...the Karrah parshaad was prepared by HALWAII SHOPS...BOUGHT by weight by sangats and presented to darbar as offering and distributed.
