Beast Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi, we all know that the Respect for SGGS ppl are stopping Maharaj being taken to halls/banquets etc. But what abt when people have Akhand Paaths in their homes? With all due respect, the SGGS in a hall will only be read for an hour (or two at most)....but an Akhand Path lasts for 3 days. Many people have alcohol and meat in the household at the time of an Akhand Path, with the very real possibility of a session afterwards. Surely this is much "worse" then taking Maharaj to a banqueting hall? Curious to know people's thoughts on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComeGetSome Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 definately, it is just as bad, the pande and glasses they use to serve langar at home has at one point been used to serve meat and have had alcohol in them. Whilst the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is being recited in the living room, in the kitchen cupboards you'll find bacardi bottles and in the other rooms you dont know what you'll find. Guru Granth Sahib belongs in a pure house this is the reason we have Gurudware, if people want to do Akhand Paats, it is here they should be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifithelps Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 it is wrong if you have alcohol and meat in the house. people need to get some respect and if they dont know how to respect then we need to educate people. we obviously see Guru Ji as a book or we would not partake in such activity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 but that still doesn't address what I was trying to get at: The issue of beadbi when taking Maharaj to a hall for a few hours is surely not as bad as people who do Akhand Paaths in their homes for an entire weekend! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComeGetSome Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 BAD is BAD no matter how you look at it, what you need to look at is the act of taking Guru Granth Sahib Ji to a hotel which has the same goings on as a standard panjabi household, the period of time here is really irrelevant, keeping Guru Granth Sahib Ji for a cummulative amount of time is no different from bringing it to a hotel a number of times, they are as bad as each other in my eyes, both need to be stopped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
