Guru Pyaareh Saadh Sangat Ji,
Just a quick reminder of the Sandesh that was sent from Sri Akaal Takht Sahib to all UK Gurdwara Sahibs in 2006 but for one reason or another this Sandesh has still not been fully implemented in all UK Gurdwara Sahibs.
Just a quick review of the Sandesh:
Any form of intoxicants (alcohol, drugs etc) and preparation or
consumption of foods such as meat, fish and eggs are not permitted on
Gurdwara property.
Guru-ka-Langar should be prepared and observed in accordance to
Gurus' maryada (tradition).
No person under the influence of intoxicants is allowed inside
Gurdwara property.
Inside the property of the Guru Sahibs, only the recital of
Gurbani, katha, kirtan and reccounting of the Gurus' history are permitted.
Buildings bought or constructed using the Daswand (one tenth of
earnings) of the Sikh Sangat or Gurdwara donations are solely to be used to
be used for Gurmat purposes and the betterment of society.
Anand Karajs (Sikh wedding ceremonies) etc must be performed in
Gurdwaras in accordance to Gurmat and the Panthic accepted Sikh Rehit
Maryada.
There is no permission granted for dancing and singing or any acts
which go against the principles of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Sri Akal Takht Sahib is clear on its position on the above abuses of
Sikh principles and has unanimously condemned the abuses towards Sri Guru
Granth Sahib Ji and the exploitation of Gurdwara Sahibs in the UK.
Gurdwaras are where Gurmat ( Guru Sahib's principles) are
implemented and maintained rather than manipulated or exploited. It is the
duty of all Gurdwara management committees to adhere to the above and
implement this Gur-Maryada (code of conduct sactioned by the Gurus)
immediately for the betterment of the Sikh religion in UK.
Now if the Gurdwara Sahib committees choose to ignore this Sandesh its the duty of Akaal Purakh Ki Fauj to make sure that they are fully implemented.
Keep watching this blog for further updates...
