You have made SGGS, our only Guru into an idol. This is not Sikhi but Hindutva I am afraid.</p><p></p><p>Allow me to take your thought a bit farther, then the luckiest people are those who stay all day long closer to SGGS according to you. Why this Hindu mindset all of a sudden or did you consider SGGS as an Idol=Murti from the get go?</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Who ever told you that is wrong. I would like both bride and groom walk side by side as Sikhi is for equality. My both kids have agreed to do the same when the time comes.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Sikhi has a universal message. It gives us tools how to become better beings during the only life we know. Hence it applies to all humankind irrespective of hue,creed,faith,class,caste, no faith etc. etc. Therefore, the message does not only apply to the Sikhs. This is the reason SGGS, our only Guru is filled with Gurbani from people who belonged to all different kinds of faiths.</p><p></p><p>Yes, I agree that most of the times Ik Ong Kaar is referred as the husband and we as his brides in a metaphorical sense otherwise, it would be spiritual polygamy. But it seems irrelevant in this discussion of Anand Karaj.</p><p></p><p>Ik Ong Kaar in this ever evolving way of life called Sikhi does not differentiate between people which indicates us that any gender including the LGBTQ can get married to each other as we are all part of The Source.</p><p></p><p>Having said that, SGGS,panna 103, also says the followinng, the literal translation in by Sant Singh Khalsa.</p><p></p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%9D" target="_blank">ਮਾਝ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%B2%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਮਹਲਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A9%AB" target="_blank">੫</a>॥</p><p>Mājẖ mėhlā 5.</p><p>Maajh, Fifth Mehl:</p><p></p><p><strong><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A4%E0%A9%82%E0%A9%B0" target="_blank">ਤੂੰ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A9%87%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਮੇਰਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AA%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਪਿਤਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A4%E0%A9%82%E0%A9%B0%E0%A8%B9%E0%A9%88" target="_blank">ਤੂੰਹੈ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A9%87%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਮੇਰਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਮਾਤਾ</a>॥</strong></p><p><strong>Ŧūʼn merā piṯā ṯūʼnhai merā māṯā.</strong></p><p><strong>You are my Father, and You are my Mother.</strong></p><p></p><p><strong><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A4%E0%A9%82%E0%A9%B0" target="_blank">ਤੂੰ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A9%87%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਮੇਰਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AC%E0%A9%B0%E0%A8%A7%E0%A8%AA%E0%A9%81" target="_blank">ਬੰਧਪੁ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A4%E0%A9%82%E0%A9%B0" target="_blank">ਤੂੰ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A9%87%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਮੇਰਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AD%E0%A9%8D%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਭ੍ਰਾਤਾ</a>॥</strong></p><p><strong>Ŧūʼn merā banḏẖap ṯūʼn merā bẖarāṯā.</strong></p><p><strong>You are my Relative, and You are my Brother.</strong></p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A4%E0%A9%82%E0%A9%B0" target="_blank">ਤੂੰ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A9%87%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਮੇਰਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%96%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਰਾਖਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%AD%E0%A8%A8%E0%A9%80" target="_blank">ਸਭਨੀ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A5%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%88" target="_blank">ਥਾਈ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਤਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AD%E0%A8%89" target="_blank">ਭਉ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A9%87%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਕੇਹਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A8%BE%E0%A9%9C%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਕਾੜਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9C%E0%A9%80%E0%A8%89" target="_blank">ਜੀਉ </a>॥੧॥</p><p>Ŧūʼn merā rākẖā sabẖnī thā▫ī ṯā bẖa▫o kehā kāṛā jī▫o. ||1||</p><p>You are my Protector everywhere;

[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 209441, member: 138"] Harkiran Kaur ji, Guru Fateh. Before I respond, I must say that kudos to you as you do a very commendable job by questioning the interfaith rituals practiced by the Sikhs. I am a bit bewildered at your explanation. You have made SGGS, our only Guru into an idol. This is not Sikhi but Hindutva I am afraid. Allow me to take your thought a bit farther, then the luckiest people are those who stay all day long closer to SGGS according to you. Why this Hindu mindset all of a sudden or did you consider SGGS as an Idol=Murti from the get go? Who ever told you that is wrong. I would like both bride and groom walk side by side as Sikhi is for equality. My both kids have agreed to do the same when the time comes. Sikhi has a universal message. It gives us tools how to become better beings during the only life we know. Hence it applies to all humankind irrespective of hue,creed,faith,class,caste, no faith etc. etc. Therefore, the message does not only apply to the Sikhs. This is the reason SGGS, our only Guru is filled with Gurbani from people who belonged to all different kinds of faiths. Yes, I agree that most of the times Ik Ong Kaar is referred as the husband and we as his brides in a metaphorical sense otherwise, it would be spiritual polygamy. But it seems irrelevant in this discussion of Anand Karaj. Ik Ong Kaar in this ever evolving way of life called Sikhi does not differentiate between people which indicates us that any gender including the LGBTQ can get married to each other as we are all part of The Source. Having said that, SGGS,panna 103, also says the followinng, the literal translation in by Sant Singh Khalsa.

Is the above your personal opinion or your were told by someone? Groom in the front demonstrates inequality and has the same symbolism as in Raksha Bandan that you eloquently spoke against in Sikhi on FB. (Please also start a thread here about the subject,thanks) This comes from Hindu way of getting married. In some Hindu societies in India, the bride and the groom change places midway. Using your own rationale above, perhaps the Pundit wants both to be equally close to the Agni-Fire Goddess. I disagree as explained above. As Ik Ong Kaar is omnipresent, then the merger already took place since the big bang. No one can be outside the realm of omnipresence. This is more the reason the couple should walk together. Equality needs no justification. I agree. In reality, the couple is getting married, so it is a human marriage. The couple has to cope with the ebbs and flows of their relationship by learning Piri from SGGS, our only Guru and using the tools in our Miri life. However the symbolism has a lot deeper meaning beside starting a married life as One Jyot. Please elaborate what you mean by the above. Thanks & Reards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
