[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 1494, member: 138"] My response:- Dear Ranbir Bhenji, ChaanPardesi ji,Manjot Singh ji,NSingh ji, SikhFlag ji, Tasveer ji and all SADH SANGAT. Vaheguru ji ka Khalsa. Vehaguru ji ki fateh. This is a very interesting debate as MARRIAGE is essential part of GURMAT LIFE based on MIRI PIRI. Lets all discuss this without being emotional so that we can all learn from it and hence become better GURU KEI SIKHS. In a message dated 8/6/04 7:54:40 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [email="ranbir@gurmatps.org"]ranbir@gurmatps.org[/email] writes:[indent][font=Arial]<<"Gurbani" is nothing physical. "Gurbani" can't be abused. BUT Guru Granth Sahib Ji, is the "physical" form in which Gurbani is "manifest" so a "physical" form CAN be abused (burned, mishandled, improperly used and whatever).>>[/font] [/indent]Yes Bhenji, I agree that Physical form of anything can be abused. However, the GURMAT message can never be abused. The proof is in the sacrifices of our GURUS who gave their physical forms to defend GURMAT IDEALS. No one and I repeat NO ONE can take GURMAT VALUES instilled in us by GURBANI away. Because Sikhi is NOT personality based as most of the other religions are but IDEA BASED. <<It is due to the stupidity of some people who lack the understanding how to NOT insult other's religious feelings that the Hukamnamah from Sri Akal Takhat was necessary>> 1. Does Akal Takhat (jathedaar or his cronies) police the stalls outside the gurdwara sahib where all the Gutkas and Gurbani cd's are sold to check if they are kept in a respectful way. 2. Does Akal Takhat go to the peoples' houses and check how respectfully the Cd's and other Gurbani material are kept at home and in people's cars? 3. Does Akal Takhat check the factories where Cd's are being made if everyone is barefoot, head covered and not humming some indian song while packing the Gurbani cd's? 3. Is it ok to listen to Gurbani Keertan in a car while travelling when the child's diaper is being changed and Big Mac is being devoured? 4. Is it is ok to chant Gurbani while sitting on the loo, or take a punjabi newpaper which has gurbani verses in it but not Gutka? 5.IS IT OK TO GOLD LEAF HARMANDIR SAHIB AND RESTORE THE BEAUTIFULL WALLS WITH MINAKAARI EVERYTIME WHEN NEEDED BUT LET THE GURDWARA SAHIB AT TARAN TAARAN CRUMBLE AND LET THE WALLS WHERE BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART ONCE STOOD ROT?? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TWO AS WE HAVE GURU GRANTH SAHIB'S PARKASH IN BOTH? Those of you who have not visited TaranTaaran Sahib lately, I would urge you to go there on your next trip and check it out for yourself. All the above have to do with physical aspects which are insignificant and hold no GURMAT VALUE because GURBANI PATH is SPIRITUAL. One can go on and on and become the devil's advocate til the end of time but will not ever be able to change GURMAT IDEALS which are the cornerstone of our GURMAT LIFE. <<I haven't every read or heard about a Christian marriage taking place in a hotel. If they decide to have their marriage made 'valid' by the rites of their church, they are serious about the environment too. Why can't we copy that?>> Bhenji, you are mistaken. christian marriages are held while parachuting, in shark tanks, on the beach, in the mountains and anywhere else one can think of. <<I haven't ever heard either, that a muslim Nikah is performed in a hotel...>> I have not either. <<What about the Hindus? Having some lovely fire in a hotel???>> It does not happen due to the fire hazard not because of any religious motive. Was Guru Nanak Dev ji disrespecful to the Hindu religion when he refused to wear Janeiu as a SYMBOL? or when he refused to sing AARTI in a hindu ritualistic manner? Lets not make SIKHI SYMBOLS as mere symbolic things but the marks of sikh pride where spirituality matters the utmost. Peace & Love Tejwant PS:- Input from all is urged. [/QUOTE]
