[QUOTE="Atheist, post: 122834, member: 10421"] Dear Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji, "1. The Ceremony is an INITIATION CEREMONY and its correct name is KHANDEY BATTE DEE PAHUL." Thank you for the clarification. I understand what you are saying but cannot agree with it. In my line of work, we see disabled people all the time and work closely with them. So I have to be an advocate for disabled people. "The Five have to be on bended knee for a considerable time" Yes this is true. It is also true that someone with an amputation who has a prosthetic leg can be bended on the knee for a considerable time (yes, not all amputees can do this, but many can). In fact, I quote directly from my textbook, "To illustrate the functional potential of a patient with amputation, Marlon Shirley holds the men's amputee record for the 100-m sprint at 10.97 s. That is only a short step behind the able-bodied time of 9.78 s by Tim Montgomery in 2004" (author = Braddom). This person could easily beat us in running, and you're telling me that he is not "ONLY THE BEST" and "able bodied"?? And chronically ill patient's cannot serve the amrit? Psoriasis is a chronic disease. It is a skin disease that is NOT contagious. So they can't serve amrit either? Chronic diseases also include vitiligo (not contagious), diabetes, hypothyroidism, addison's disease, color blindness, chronic pancreatitis, factor V leiden, polycystic ovarian disease - and in each case, a person could have that chronic disease and be able to perform the ceremony (yes, not every single person with all of these diseases particularly diabetes with neuropathy can do all this - but to flat-out say no chronic disease is plain wrong). Now, if someone had an acute CONTAGIOUS disease like the flu then yes then it becomes an obvious health & safety issue...but hopefully one can see that not all chronic diseases preclude this. There is no such thing as a blind pilot because a pilot needs sight to fly. They cannot do their job without sight. But a person with vitiligo should otherwise be able to perform this important task. It's ironic how you say handicapped pilot...there is actually a PILOT who has NO ARMS. She does her plane checks including checking her oil with her legs, feet, and head only. She flies by herself! If you don't believe me I can provide you with a youtube link for the newscast on her. Would we eat food from a waiter coughing all over it?
