On May 21st a family had the honour of bringing Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to their house for the blessings of Sukhmani Sahib ji patt. The family members had brought Maharaj from the Gurdwara in their car, the Singh carrying Guru Ji had brought maharaj with satkar placing Maharaj on his head. However on the way back the Gyani who did the patt was taking maharaj back! He had placed maharaj on his laps! A few member of the Sangat expressed their concerns, that this style of carrying maharaj was disrespectful as maharaj is close to our private parts and our clothes may also be contaminated after a visit to the toilet. The Gyani said “you lot are extremists and are making a big deal out of nothing” The sangat said at least put a wooden board or a couple of fresh towels between your laps and Guru Ji. The gyani got angry and laughed saying “All this is nonsense”.
A Singh in the Sangat was filled with biras (warrior spirit) and couldn’t take it no more, he made another Singh carry maharaj on his head and the gyani was beaten up! The gyani informed the police and now a case has been made against the Singh. But the Singh remains in chardi kala and says “I don’t care even if I had to get cut into pieces for the satkar of my Guru Ji”
