People are sending me messages saying that it is not disrespectful because Guru Ji put Gurbani on his shasters and the Nishan sahib. It is incorrect that Gurbani was on old Nishan sahibs (this is a new trend) the old Nishan sahib only had shasters on it. The sheilds and amours with Gurbani are meant to be Guru Ji' s, there is no solid proof of this. Any one can engrave bani on anything and claim it to be the Gurus. Or even if it was the Gurus the Sikh may have put Gurbani on it after so that it can be perserved and respected. Me personally i don't think Guru Ji would put Bani on a Shield etc so that it can be slashed. Guru Ji was upset when a Singh was reading Gurbani wrong, he said to the Singh your twisting my limbs.
Even When Guru Arjan Dev Ji was Guru he empashied the highest respect for Gurbani.
Hard to Imagine that the same Guru in the 10th form would put Gurbani on his armour so it can get slashed etc.
