ssa,

sooo sorry i ask soooo many ?S and probably waste sooooo much of ur time but i cant resist...my question is:

in punjab, there are many "jagaas" where people go and light "deevays" and bow their heads to in order to honor the shaheeds..those who were fakirs, sants etc. isn't it wrong to bow our heads to them...isn't wrong to worship them...weren't the shaheeds doing something that EVERY human being on this earth SHOULD be doing (praying etc)...so why do they get any special treatment ...arn't we suppose to not worship idols, stones, the dead??? i dont quite understand what all of this pakhand is about? we are mistaken and are on a wrong path ..correct>??? this shows our weakness to not believe in bani and the true guru..!!?

please tell me if i am right/wrong?

thanks!

You are right, we bow only to the Guru and God.

I do not know if what you are saying is true or not since I have no information about it.

It is ok to remember the shaheeds and honor them. But to bow to them, worship them, etc. is wrong.
