[QUOTE="Gurmit Singh, post: 134252, member: 7784"] Respected Sikh Cyber Members, Waheguru jee ka Khalsa Waheguru jee kee Fateh Prabhdeep Singh has already shared appropriate response but message needs to be passed on to Mr. Imran and other Keshadhari person of Ranchi, who could have explained to the participating audiances. However, this may be done now by the Editors of Sikh Magazines in Punjab. For instance, S. Ramesh Singh of Jamshedpur or any other Sikh within Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, etc. could do this Seva. In addition to Bhai Gurdas Vaar 1 - Pauri 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37; In his Book: "Sketch of The Sikhs" published in 1812, Lieutenant-Colonial John Malcolm had stated that.."Aftar Nanac had visited all the cities of India, and explained to all ranks the great doctrines of the unity and omnipresence of God, he went to Mecca and Medina, where his actions, his miracles, and his long disputations with the most celebrated Muhammedan saints and doctors, are most circumstantially recorded by his biographers... at pages 28-29 of Reprint in June 2007. In "History of the Panjab", published in 1889, Syad Muhammand Latif at page 243 wrote: "He (Nanak) travelled over the whole of India; visited Persia, Kabul and other parts of Asia, and, it is said, even Mecca. A story is related by both Hindus and Mahomedians in connection with Nanak's visit to Mecca. It is said that, while at Mecca, Nanak was found sleeping with his feet to the Kaaba, before which the Mahomedans prostrate themselves when performing their devotions. The Kazi, Ruku-ud-din, who observed this, angrily remarked: "Infidel, how dare you dishonour God's house by turning your feet towards it!" "Turn them, if you can," replied Nanak, "in a direction where the house of God is not." In "History of the Sikhs", Vol. 1, Edition 1984 at page 66, Dr. Hari Ram Gupta said: "Nanak dressed himself in the manner of a Haji or pilgrim to Mecaa and Medina. He put on blue garments, carried an earthen jug for water, and a small carpet for saying prayers. A thick staff was in his hand. "And when an opportunity offered, he shouted the Muhammadan call to prayer like any orthodox follower of the Arabian prophet." At Mecca, while sleeping his feet moved towards the Ka'ba, the sacred shrine of Islam. The angry Mulla named Jiwan kicked and scolded him for showing disrespect to the house of God. Quietly came the answer: "Pray, turn my feet in the direction where all-pervading God is not present." In the Sikh History Books, Principal Teja Singh/Dr. Ganda Singh, Khushwant Singh and Dr. Gopal Singh have also narrated the said incident. Thus, while attending any such Multi-Faith Seminars, Sikh Scholars should not be afraid to call a spade a spade based on Gurbaani and historical events. Gurmit Singh (Australia) [/QUOTE]
