Bowing To Guru Granth Sahib Ritual?
Posted by: Ninja (IP Logged)

Intuitively, I want to say that actions like receiving the Christian sacraments, processing with the Guru Granth Sahib, praying in the Muslim way, and offering puja, are these all rituals. For a ritual, there surely needs to be some piece of ceremony attached to it, a prescribed 'non-normal' set of actions. Of course, when clergy in the Church of England (or wherever) start processing with the Gospel, waving incense in front of it, standing beside it with candles, etc., then reading the Gospel becomes a ritual activity. Could this be the same for Sikhs?
