[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 141469, member: 189"] This ADESH...( Advisory) from the Secretariat Akal Takhat merely [U][B]REAFFIRMS[/B][/U] what the Sikh Rehat Maryada of the Akal Tkahat/SGPC says right from 1930's.. 1. This advisory suffers the same fate as those that discourage the SGGS being brought to Marriage Palaces/5 Star Ballrooms/banquet Halls of Hotels etc that is any place that is NOT normally a GURDWARA/regular place fo SGGS Parkash. 2.
