Gurus, Images and Statues
I am writing this topic for discussion...sorry for poor english
We have seen many Photographs/potraits showing guru's Their history. like today i have seen pic of Mata Gujri & Sahibzada Zorawar Singh & Sahibzada Fateh Singh. I know that is poet's imagination . I was Making Photograph Of Guru Har Rai And Bhai Kuram Singh related to Gurudwara Amb Sahib through my imagination(I know i am not that much pure to imagine) at that time a thing strikes in my mind that am i doing rite thing? Did our gurus allowed to make these pics? Well, saying about photographs these also acts as idol, i thought. Neither gurus nor their predessers at that time made their pics. they wrote their bani teach their bani.
Same thing strikes in my mind when My sister freind's give her statue of Guru Nanak Dev jee as gurus rejected this concepts and blady people are making their statues. Na aapan Nind sakiyey, Na apnaoon nu dil kardaa
One more concept arise, In many gurudwaras the idols of gurus which they left like Chola Saab, any ornamental etc also worshipped they show them like these are god well again i think idol worship concept begins
I have find some lines in guru granth sahib
