Khalsa Ji,

Gyan is very important, but repetition has a place in Gurmat too, i.e Shabad sidhi.

Mukti Nama, 10th Patshahi states that: a Gursikh cannot marry into father's and mother's surname; if we drop our surnames, how can we tell, whether our potential partner, is blood related or not?

Our ancestors fought bravely, to maintain their identity, what right do we have to call them low?

ਆਪਸ ਕਉ ਜੋ ਭਲਾ ਕਹਾਵੈ ॥

आपस कउ जो भला कहावै ॥

Āpas ka▫o jo bẖalā kahāvai.

One who calls himself good -

ਤਿਸਹਿ ਭਲਾਈ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥

तिसहि भलाई निकटि न आवै ॥

Ŧisėh bẖalā▫ī nikat na āvai.

goodness shall not draw near him.

Worldly needs, need to be fulfilled too:

ਪੰਨਾ 656, ਸਤਰ 13

ਯਹ ਮਾਲਾ ਅਪਨੀ ਲੀਜੈ ॥

यह माला अपनी लीजै ॥

Yėh mālā apnī lījai.

Here, Lord, take back Your mala.

ਭਗਤ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ

Bhoot pret do exist:

ਪੰਨਾ 274, ਸਤਰ 18

ਪਸੁ ਪ੍ਰੇਤ ਮੁਘਦ ਪਾਥਰ ਕਉ ਤਾਰੈ ॥

पसु प्रेत मुघद पाथर कउ तारै ॥

Pas pareṯ mugẖaḏ pāthar ka▫o ṯārai.

Even beasts, ghosts and the stone-hearted are saved.

ਮਃ 5 - view Shabad/Paurhi/Salok ਪੰਨਾ 276, ਸਤਰ 4

ਕਈ ਕੋਟਿ ਭੂਤ ਪ੍ਰੇਤ ਸੂਕਰ ਮ੍ਰਿਗਾਚ ॥

कई कोटि भूत प्रेत सूकर म्रिगाच ॥

Ka▫ī kot bẖūṯ pareṯ sūkar marigācẖ.

Many millions are the evil nature-spirits, ghosts, pigs and tigers.

ਮਃ 5 -

9th Patshahi allowed Balaki daas's tasavvar {artist}, to paint a portrait of him. When we see photos of Gurmukhs, photos representing Guru Sahiban, we are immediately reminded of Naam.

Khalsa Ji, my comments are endorsed by Gurbani; hence taken as maryada. Could you please provide a source for your views?

If one group of Sikhs feel that they can dictate Maryada, to others, especially, when it doesn't carry Satguru's endorsement, then what is there to stop others, from making up their own Maryada.

Making Maryada without Satguru's endorsement, will lead to, Panthic Disunity, rather than Panthic unity...

None of the Gurus , starting with Guru Nanak Dev ji used last name - and also none of our shaheeds / great gursikhs - baba budha, bhai satidas , bhai matidas , baba bidhichand etc, and after amrit sanchaar - bohta singh, garja singh, mehtab singh, sukha singh etc - you get my point. Even in recent times people who took up arms against Indian tyranny didnt use castist names ....

So what right do we have to use caste based last names ?

Mehtab singh ji - thanks for the suggestion , added lines pertaining to fidelity

Singhbj singh - corrected - thanks for the suggestion

Can we make this is a sticky and encourage others to post more tuks ?

10th Patshahi uses the word "got" ( surname), in Mukti Nama. When Guru Ji tells us, not to marry into our mothers & fathers surname, then it is clear that Maharaj acknowledges the importance of surname.

Gurbani refers to Guru Sahiban as: Bhalla Amardas, Bedi, and Sodhi; are these not surnames?
