[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 53341, member: 2125"] Certainly the use of Om is concerning. But why would you feel anyone is upset with what you said? The book overall seems to have some very good points and is well-referenced. But the political situation in Punjab right now is one of demolishing the distinction of Sikhism as an independant religion. Be suspicious of anything Hindutva. A Sikh scholar knows better than to write Ek-[B]Om[/B]kar. No one is saying anything bad (slander) about the scholar personally. We are all concerned about the OM placed in Gurbani and what political forces motivate such distortion. I actually enjoyed your post. You were sharing some really great thoughts. And Kaur-1 was gracious enough to highlight the inaccurate bani. You personally did not say or support anything anti-Sikh in anyway. Have peace. If anything, this kind of thing underscores insidious distortions are occuring even within our trusted institutions. Even Akhand Paath is not safe from political subversion nowadays. Not to quibble too fine a point, the OM/Aum represents the Triune unity of the Hindu gods Brahma-Shiva-Vishnu. And Guru Nanak Dev Ji made a deliberate effort to distinguish from this writing Ek (one, not three) [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#000080][B]Ongkaar[/B][/COLOR][/FONT](universal creator God, that which created Brahma).
