[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 157991, member: 189"] Tejwant Ji..thanks for the explanation. If I may add...a "Dharamsaal" was the Indian verison of the American MOTEL....with some "dharama" thrown in ..instead of the cold CASH/credit Card thingy at the Motel !! A DS was a place a weary outstation traveller could get a decent bed and bedding..maybe even a meal...in the Village it was a common place to hold "ceremonies"....like Janj House/marriage ceremony, important meetings of villagers etc etc. Essentially a sort of Village Hall meeting place cum everything else...Today some villages still have the DHARAMSAAL ( NON SECTARIAN) but most functions are now held in SCHOOL buildings and the traditions of Janj etc have dwindled as almost no janj arrives days earlier as before...and travellers prefer to stay in better paid accomodation anyway...(When BADAL goes on Village Visits called Sangat darshan..he commandeers the entire SCHOOL which is then remodelled into security rooms, fully airconditioned rooms, meeting rooms etc while the poor school kids are left to study under the trees !! a Fine example of A-DHARAMSAAL behaviour !!) When Guru nanak Ji came on the scene, it was His dream that there should be a GHAR GHAR ANDER DHARAMSAAL.....EACH SIKH HOUSEHOLD should be transformed into a real "Dharamsaal" where a traveller could get a warm welcome, a bed and bedding, a nice hot meal..and all the comforts a SIKH could provide as SEWA. Essentially that EACH SIKH Household should [B]PRACTISE GURMATT[/B] on a Daily a nd continous basis. This is why a SIKH is encouraged to WAAND CHHAKO...we are supposed to stand at our doorway and ANNOUNCE..GURU ka Langgar Tyaar hai..Lorrwaand chhako ji...Food is ready..any needy person is most welcome to share with us !! BUT this is hardly the norm today becasue we keep Large breed Rottewillers at the gate to "eat" the needy !! As Sikhs got wealthier..the Dogs got larger and the gates got HIGHER. Gurbani mentions that HE resides...inside US...and the place to look for is WITHIN...Farid Ji says LOOK UNDER YOR COLLAR GIREEBAAN meh dekh....and THIS HUMAN BODY is indeed the REAL HARMANDIR that Guru Amardass Ji mentions..Harmandir meaning ABODE of the CREATOR...so He really is resident inside US..all we need to do is LOOK WITHIN... Harry Ji...it doesnt matter to me that you are mona...you have a good grasp of what the Guur really intends us to grasp..so write away....judgement is up to HIM...who knows what tomorrow holds...a Mona today may be a [B]Amona[/B] tomorrow..lol ( Forgive me for adapting Punjabi Grammar to English...in Punjabi Grammar attaching an A to a word makes the meaning OPPOSITE to what it means originally....so [B]Amona[/B] means keshadharee !! Attaching KU also makes the meaning chnage..a SANT caught with his chola down ( UP really ) would be a [B]KUsant[/B] !! Share the Gurparsaad as always... [/QUOTE]
