[QUOTE="gs_chana, post: 90899, member: 925"] Fateh to all my brothers and sisters. I have not written anything in quiet a while was still suprised to see my thread being circulated and commented on for so long. I DIDN'T REALISE HOW CONTROVERSIAL THIS MATTER IS. Anyway, i wanted to set a few things straight. I am not paranoid in terms of my views on AARTI or any such "physical" practices. I am however FIRMLY against such ritualistic practices. THE REASON WHY I DISAPPROVE OF THE AARTI IS BECAUSE: 1. there is no evidence linking Guru Ji' with the practice of such activities. CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, HOW MANY GURDWARA'S WERE AROUND AT THE GURU'S ACTUAL TIME? For all I know the Harmandir Sahib is the only place that is ACTUALLY known to have existed and set up by our beloved Gurus. 2. Such practices DIVERT our attention and DILUTE the meaning of Sikhi. GURU NANAK started what I percieve as the most LOGICAL and SCIENTIFIC and COMMON SENSE APPROACH to religion and God. Why do we therefore not understand that doing RITUALS are COMPLETELY USELESS! - Guru Nanak REJECTED aarti, namaz, prayer, etc = WHY BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD IS TO MEDITATE UPON HIS NAME. GURU JI MAKES COUNTLESS REFERENCES TO THIS POINT = I do not need to quote any verses because if you just start reading the Guru Granth you will find this point rather self-explanatory as the GURUJI REPEATS THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN in different ways and using different methods IN ORDER TO GET THIS MESSAGE ACROSS TO OUR FEABLE HUMAN MINDS! Please do not take any offence from my DIRECT and some what RUDE approach. I am sorry to be like this, but I am very frustrated at how we SIKHS COMPLETELY MISS THE POINT SOMETIMES! SIKHS NEED TO GO BACK TO BASICS - BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH WE CAN FIX UP OUR PROBLEMS OF LACK OF EDUCATION IN SIKHI/CORRUPTION IN GURDWARAS/ETC. SIKHI IS ABOUT LEARNING AND EDUCATING THE MIND! If we manage that as an individual, we have SAVED SIKHI. Gurdip Chana. [/QUOTE]
