Summary of Question:	Respect Of Gurus In Ardaas
Category:	General Sikhism
Date Posted:	Wednesday, 6/05/2002 5:57 AM MDT

WHY WE DO NOT CALL OUR GURUS NAME WITH RESPECT IN ARDAAS?

WHEN WE CALL OUR PARENTS/ELDERS WITH RESPECT LIKE SARDAR/SHRI/SAHIB, WHY DO WE CALL OUR GURUS NAME IN ARDAAS AS
"GURU NANAK LAYEE DHIAYE, PHIR ANGAD TE GURU AMAR DAS, RAM DASSAIN HOI SAHAI,
ARJUN HARGOBIND NU, SIMRO SRI HAR RAI, HARKISHAN JI DHIAIYE, GURU TEG BAHADUR
SIMRIYE,"

IT LOOKS VERY ODD THAT OUR RELIGIOUS TEACHERS/ LEADERS TEACH US TO TAKE THE NAMES OF OUR ELDERS WITH RESPECT BUT THEY "SHIRMANI GURUDWARA PRABANDHAK COMMITTEE" HAVE NOT THOUGHT TOWARDS CALLING THE GURU'S WITH RESPECT IN ARDAAS.

CAN U TAKE UP THE MATTER WITH SOMEONE IF THESE WORDS OF RESPECT ARE INCORPORATED IN OUR DAILY ARDAAS.

EVEN IF THIS CAN'T HAPPEN, I WOULD REQUEST YOU TO DROP A FEW WORDS FOR MY CLARIFICATION.

WITH REGARDS AND HOPING TO HEAR SOON FROM YOUR SIDE AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE.

Dear one,
This part of the Ardas is as Guru Gobind Singh spoke it. You will have to question him or better......surrender to the experience of the prayer and go deeper than your 'mind' is allowing you to go.

God bless you, SKKK
