You know..people piss on those walls? Do you really want any symbols of our Faith to be on there? Like Gurbani?

Graffiti is defacing others property and effectively vandalism.

What if everyone did this? Would you like a mural of Muhammed spray painted on the side of your house?

[S4NGH]

There's no gurbani on there

Love it. I'm all for art as long as people don't start worshipping it or giving it undue significance.

Who's the man with the cresent moon and star behind his head? Mohammed? Aren't pictorial representations of their prophet supposed to be haram?

Just leave 4-5 foot space from ground n then paint.

No symbols & Gurbani.

Plenty of art promoting Sikh culture n history is available online & museums.

That should inspire graffiti artists to create their own work.

I think Sikh organisations should commission them to paint.

They could organise a competition, give artists a Theme to create.

Who knows & cares as long as it's not offensive.

It matters because he's been painted sitting next to Guru Sahib. Why not research something before posting it, if that's not too much hard work for you. "Who knows & cares..." Stupid response.

Ang 479 Line 7 Raag Asa: Bhagat Kabir

ਜੇ ਏਹ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਸਾਚੀ ਹੈ ਤਉ ਗੜ੍ਹਣਹਾਰੇ ਖਾਉ ॥੩॥

Jae Eaeh Moorath Saachee Hai Tho Garrhanehaarae Khaao ||3||

जे एह मूरति साची है तउ गड़्हणहारे खाउ ॥३॥

If this stone god was true, it would devour the sculptor for this! ||3||

Likewise if the depiction of Guru ji was real & intent disrespectful then it would devour the painter for this !
