I hope you are able to send these views to SGPC.

Congrats for being so well read …When Hillary becomes POTUS
then we will speak .
QUEEN IN ENGLAND
AND A FIRST LADY IN USA .
Sonia still in India till Pryanka

Then you will never speak of gender again
Sbi has a a lady who they want to retain .

Gender bias has been created by weaker men
the physical body alone is different
for procreation
of the human race .
How else will we have
7.5 billion plus

HKS,
Thanks. You have done an equally big job by supporting this humble effort.
A lot needs to be done and we can help by opinion building. When we feel strongly about some thing, we must speak up, or write about it.
Keeping quiet is sacrilege, in my view.

Thanks.
You have done an equally great job : by supporting this effort.
There is a lot that needs to be done. The people who are managing the temple are human beings, made of flesh and bones. They have their strengths and weaknesses. To implement changes and ‘to make a difference’ needs courage. Sometimes they have it, sometimes they don’t.
During the last ten years, a lot has been done. But a lot needs to be done. People like us can help in building public opinion.
Keeping quiet after seeing malpractices is wrong…in fact it is sacrilege!

General Sahib- You are doing a great job.

When I visited the Golden Temple about 4 yrs back I asked a question to the person in the Information Office:

Do you regularly check the purity of water in the Sarovar? His answer was He did not know.

His opinion was, if the water had too many bacteria, the fish will die first. That would too late.

I read that a filter system has been installed. People drink that water while some people bath in it. ( Do these persons take a shower before and after – Have we provided any facility)

I am a Sindhi, 81 years old and son of a Sikh mother. My Nani, mother and one of my sisters were accomplished (not professional) kirtan singers, and many times led the sangat in the absence of regular ragis in Gurdwara when specially invited. And all this much before partition of this country.

Dear Ram,
Ever since I saw your first mail, I find that your observations are mature and very well balanced.
In this specific case, the reason is that until the independence, women were confined to bearing children and administering homes. They started moving out only recently. In my childhood, I saw very few of them performing kirtan. However, now we have a few excellent singers of devotional music, and it is only a matter of time before they earn their rightful place.

Sir,
That is the correct name. It is also called “Darbar Sahib”
Golden Temple is a name it acquired during the British Raj.
For the rest, I agree with your observations.
