SinghMunda Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 From most of the time when i am at the Gurdwara and see people metha thek, they do it kneeling with their kneecaps on the floor as i am sure u know what i mean. But occassionaly, (it usually seems to be some old bibi) people metha thek with their full body lying on the floor. Is there any correct way, or is it just a matter of bowing your head and touching your metha to the floor in respect of Guru Granth Sahib Ji? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Javanmard Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 It's called prostration in Latin, by that you signify that your whole being belongs to Akal Purakh and that without him you're nothing but a corpse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinghMunda Posted August 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Has anyone seen someone come into Gurdwara and deliberately with full intention not metha thek? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Yes Yes matha taiek to guroo granth sahib ji, mahapursh's, shastar's comes under Namaskar Bhakti started by guroo baba nanak sahib ji. Apparently there are 9 different kinds of bhakti- Sarvan Bhakti- Listen to Katha with full concentration. Kirtan Bhakti- Signing Hymns Of Gurbani with full concentration. Simran Bhakti- Doing bhakti alone.. reciting on gurmantar or vaheguroo, maala-naam jaap.. vaheguroo vahegurooo vahegurooo!!! Namskar Bhakti- Doin Namskar (Humbly Bow Down) to guru granth sahib ji and be inferior to everyone even animals not just gursikhs..every living being.. vahegurooo ARJAN Bhakti- I forgot about that one.. i gotta listen to that part again.. will let you update... morakh me.. lol :x Ardas- Humbly Praying to akal purkh(god) before any important task to do. Dasam Pab- Be Inferior And Praise Gurus as highest of the high Sakhaya Sakhi Pab- Love vaheguroo like from one mitr(freind) to another mitr(freind) Atam Nividan- Scarifice everything to vaheguroo.. its everything... basically completely surrender to vaheguroo ji....tan and mann completely scarifice to vaheguroo . thats when you get atam mukhti. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
