Hello,

I have a question for you, I asked my dad but i was still confuse so i waz wondering if u could help. this is my question:

"HOW MANY TYPES OF SIKHISM ARE THER, LIKE THERE IS JAT AND RAMGARYIA. WHENEVER WE GO TO THE GURDWARA BY GRANDFATHER PUT'S HIS HAND ON THE FLOOR AND PUT'S IT ON HIS FOREHEAD OR BOWS TO IT LIKE WE DO TOO THE GURU GRANTH SAHIB, WHY DOES HE DO THIS?

pleeeeease help me.
many thanks Satnam

REPLY*************

often older people who have difficulty bowing due to medical reasons do that... The guru and how you bow to it... does not have set format. All the otehr things you have heard are all castes... they are old traditions that pre-date the gurus... and are frowned upon by the gurus ... you are a SIKH and that is who you are... all the rest does not matter as as long as you remember that you will do fine


all the best
