Qutoe by FULL TOUR Ji "For all questions, we should always refer to the Panthic commitee REHAT MARYADA."
Why rehat maryada changes with time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the basis of their decisions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bhul chuk maaf Ji
First of all rehat Maryada was never written or never ever being mentioned or was not even in existence during the time of Guruji. It was an attempt later on by the sikh scholars of the century to produce an accurate portrayal of sikh customs & codes.
There basis of decision was All Guru's baanis and all guru's teachings.
bayee ji no disrespect to Panthic Rehat Maryada, but it was 5 Baanis at the time of Gurus, then why did the Panthic committee change it to 3 Baanis later?
isn't it kinda sayin that whatever was going on at the times of Guru Jis wasn't the right hing, what Panthic committe is doing is right?
Well, No they havent changed anything. Essentially one should read more & more baani's as one can, but what they are saying here is that one should read everyday atleast these baanis. Normally I have seen all Gurumukh people do all 5 baani's nitnem and may be even more then that.
Sikh rehat maryada is an attempt to list the basic minimum, so that atleast people should start following the bare minimum and later on when they will fall in LOVE with guru, then nobody would need rehat maryada and it wont matter at all.
I remember, the same question was asked to one of the renowed sikh scholar and he replied to it by saying that atleast we should start by doing three banis. Do only three baanis and then he said you wont ask this question anymore. He also said that todays generation finds it difficult to do even three baanis, so we should ask this question to ourself, rather then others.
