How do Sikhs show equality and respect to the guru granth sahib?

Answer 1

The Guru Granth Sahib is treated with the up-most respect in gudwara. It lies on a cushion called a manji and it is covered with a rumalla and placed on a platform when it is not in use. When the book is being read the pages are cleaned with a chauri (fan). The book is kept in chanini which is like a four poster bed. And when they have finished reading the sikhs 'put it to bed'

When sikhs enter the gudwara they must take off their shoes and bow to the book. Sikhs are not aloud to turn their back to the book.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

The Guru Granth Sahib is treated like an important person because it is respected by all Sikhs. When it is being read it lies on a cushion called a manji and is covered with a rumalla and placed on a platform or stand when not in use. All Sikhs respect the Granth Sahib as they believe that the Guru's wrote it for them to use in the upmost respectful and helpful ways. If the mistreat the Granth Sahib then they are therefore mistreating the Guru's themselves.

Answer 3

Sikhs show equality and respect to the Guru Granth Sahib by following the 5 K's of Sikhism that were instructed by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth guru of Sikhism.

Also, they cover their head, they bow their head in front of the Guru Granth Sahib before sitting down, removing their shoes so that dirt from outside is not taken into the sacred presence of the Guru Granth Sahib, Also, no one sits higher or above than Guru Granth Sahib therefore when they transport the Guru Granth Sahib to the other room at night, they have to hold it above their heads. Visitors also present money to help pay for the Gurdwara

Answer 4

It's a sacred, holy book of the Sikhs. Show it as much physical respect as you would a Bible or Koran.
