[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 169597, member: 16886"] Tigerstylez Ji, My apologies if I came across a little harsh!!! You are a young lad, much wiser than I was at 17!! So, of course you shouldn't fear asking even the most dumbest of questions! The question you posed was not dumb as you explained later on, it's just that I came to this post straight after watching that nasty AKJ thread and my heart rate was still going. Don't get me wrong, I am usually very very calm, but sometimes something outragous and crazy can wind us all up quite easily. I understand the angle from which you did pose the original question. Yes, some people do make it into a ritual. To be honest, you should just ignore these kinds and continue in the direction you are going. As a kid, I'm sure you learned like me that you should put [I]both hands[/I] out when accepting the prashad. Although at that young age we never fully understood what that was really about, but we just continued accepting prashad with 'Both Hands'. --OF COURSE, this has Ritual written all over it. Like yourself, I always didn't quite understand it because all we were told was that if you put one hand out then you will NOT get any! So ALL we ever really learned as young kids was that you have to put both hands out if you want any or you don't get any. No one really said you should use both hands because God has given you TWO, we just grew up and assumed that was the reason! Anyway, with this ritual of putting both hands out in my mind, at the age of my early teens, I strongly thought that ALL food is God given and not just prashaad. So, I just viewed prashad as a ''blessing'' from the Guru nothing more and nothing less. I also viewed ALL other foods as no different except they didn't have the ''blessing'' in close proximity to the Guru Granth Sahib ji as prashaad does in practice. With ALL this in mind, I found it appropriate to use BOTH HANDS all the time whenever accepting food or roti anywhere, even at home. Even to this day, when someone at home or a relatives passes me another roti, I always put both my hands out to accept. Because, I see it as God given even if my aunty paid for it and made it. I don't see why I should only use both hands when accepting in the gurdwara only, or when it is blessed prashaad. I assure you, even to this day some people will laugh and make a joke if they see me putting both hands out to roti, but I simply ask them why do you only do that in the Gurdwara, why not for every roti that ensures you are fed and is also God given!!
