Can someone please shed light on why some Sikhs observe Pooranmashi and Shangrandh, thank you
Can you provide any verifiable reference to your statement? ThanksBaba ji used to observe that remaining awake throughout the full moon night gives immense spiritual and worldly benefits.
It can be verified by WereGuru ! I too remain awake and then grow hairier and howl at the full moon. Can anyone shed light on why one observes anothers observations?Can you provide any verifiable reference to your statement?

I don't ever associate such activities to sikhism itself.Can someone please shed light on why some Sikhs observe Pooranmashi and Shangrandh, thank you
Its a catch 22 situation...YOU ask the Gurdwara parbhandaks..WHY you hold Diwan on Sangrandh when SGGS says DIFFERENTLY ? The answer is sangat wnats to come..what we can do ??I don't ever associate such activities to sikhism itself.
I acknowledge them to be more of a cultural issue, just like the many other cultural activities carried out by people belonging to the sikh faith.
It is like you mentioned, only some sikhs that pursue these activities.
However, we do find a large turnout in numbers going to the gurdwara on days like shangraad.
The gurdwara will hold a special diwan with ragi and kirtan..etc..
This is just in line with the increased numbers attending.
Yes, they are cultural issues, not Sikh ones. That makes complete sense, and at some point in our life we have all done something on Gyanijis list, myself includedI don't ever associate such activities to sikhism itself.

even wolves get insecure about whether they are howling correctlyIt can be verified by WereGuru ! I too remain awake and then grow hairier and howl at the full moon. Can anyone shed light on why one observes anothers observations?
Its rotten from the top down............We have nothing to do with all these Puranmashi/Masaya/Sangrand. All these events are based on Pandits Jantri when the Sun will be entering a particular phase. Guru Nanak Sahib had clearly denouced all such observations.
But from where this problem starts.......our own centre of Sikhism " Harmandir Sahib". Every such event is clearly advertised there (near Hukamnama) in the parkirma well before so that people are bound to observe. Shame on the management of our scarced place. Similliar is the case of Akhand Jyot inside the holy senctrum.
That means the sins last only a month?as it marks the end to all your sins of last month.
Many times I have felt like blowing away the Akhand Jot :grinningsingh:Akhand Jyot inside the holy senctrum.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
Well, where can we really go from here ??We have nothing to do with all these Puranmashi/Masaya/Sangrand. All these events are based on Pandits Jantri when the Sun will be entering a particular phase. Guru Nanak Sahib had clearly denouced all such observations.
