How Naming Shops and Business after Prophets say Lord Jesus, Guru Nanak or other Sikh Gurus is not Legally, Communally, Socially and Officially Right - An Opinion

Image via Wikipedia
















In India all religions are equally respected however some points have great disputes that need attention. One of the examples is naming shops and works after great prophets like Lord Jesus Christ and gurus like Guru Nanak. The Sikh people usually do not worship pictures and or the photos. However, it is getting very common nowadays.

Similarly one of the examples is to name after Sikh Guru’s, like Guru Nanak Shop is a very common name that many people use even if they may use any product. They may label anything with name of the Guru. After many protests it has never been banned or put to legal warning for approval from the concerned community or the authorities like SGPC.

The supreme court of India recognizes the Holy Book of Sikhs, Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the living body. Any property that is named on Shri Guru Granth Sahib is not transferable to any person as ordered by the Supreme Court of India. However, it seems a problem that many people name their shops and business, as said before after Sikh Gurus. It needs attention that these things hurt feelings of all religious people of various faiths and beliefs in India and worldwide when they come to know that the name of their deity or the Guru appears on the signboards of any kind of business.

It is true that once Shri Guru Nanak worked in the shop with a great philanthropic services that he distributed free food and other things to the needy ones, which is popularly known as Sacha Sauda run by Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh (Ram Rahim Singh was born to Mata Nasib Kaur Ji and Bapu Sardar Maghar Singh Ji, of the Sidhu clan, on August 15, 1967, in the village SriGurusarmodia in the Sri Ganganagar district of Rajasthan.)   (With thanks to the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_Rahim_Singh)

The amazing things is that the Jat Community mostly does not participate to be gurus as the Baba Rahim is Sidhu, a Jat, who seems to insult one of the largest community of farmers known as Jat or Jatt (Jaat) in India. It needs to be resolved as it is one of the major dispute in India among the Sikhs against insulting Sikh Gurus, the true deal in business, but what about naming a shop as Guru Nanak Shop. Do you agree or find it totally illogical to raise such issues? It needs your kind opinion.

I wonder why Indian Government does not stop the unnecessary constructions of new Dera's and other religious buildings that has a sole aim to earn, trade and grab land. I have personally noticed so much of public property as land acquired for this masked purpose. Attention is needed otherwise it seems intentional.

Thanks for your time to read.

Lessons to Master the Art of Creative Communication with Facts and Videos - A Series

The religions, faiths and beliefs of the world have played a great role in human communication with nature and among humans. However, the creative communication has some basic points getting little attention because we seem to be in two boats, the personality and self-development. Now, if we focus too much on the personality development, we may not go for self-development.

The reason has been that we focus on the interaction that produces better results, but the self-development is not for financial gains as it aims for stability and development.

The wavering minds that we have nowadays seem to have stability due to our fixed aim at the wrong value - getting rich and wealthy so that we get more stability and security in life. However, the self-development brings stability first and fruits afterward. We want to get fruits without growing trees. Growing tree is the self-development and getting more fruits is personality development. If we can aim for growing trees and sow the seeds, we can take care of the rest with Patience of peasant. Similarly, the role of creative communication is important. Let us discuss how it is so important:

We sometimes think and believe that self and personality is one and the same thing. We need to be sure that the self is not the personality. The person may have a good personality, but the self, which one hides through the personality, has little to do with the outer influences that one can have. Hiding the emotions and the feelings may make one have a good impression as a professional, but it never helps in our personal life.

We all have one point in common, and that is life. While sharing it we have the personal aspect as well. The personal share, which we have, needs special attention from the self and not from others, as usually we seem to believe in our interactions.

You see, others may not find the self and the kind of conscience level we have, which hinders our learning the art of creative communication to strengthen our human bonds and relationships. We may feel, but lack words and on the other hand, we can have words without feelings. It creates an emotional gap, which is more harmful than any other gap, such as the generation or gender gaps.  It requires emotional maturity to be a creative communicator.

Here we can raise and solve a question: Is Writing Creative Communication? We all know the answer, and let us confirm what we believe:

Channeling higher energies & automatic writing

The Extraordinary - Automatic Writing

Yes, it is a part and the art of meditation, the creative communication with the universe:

Meditation - Meet Your Guide Or Higher Self

However, it is not the meditation, but what we learn from it. We learn and master the Creative Communication with which we can be in commune with anyone and anything from self to the universe and beyond. Thus, the creative communication helps us to know about our level of conscience, which reveals the share that others have within as life. We start to feel what others think, feel, wish, seek, need and thus improve the personal relations with the self that others have, rather than interacting with the personality--the mask, that one uses to defend or project the self. For it, we may consider use of creative communication in the ancient times.

You see it is beauty of creativity that it is a dynamic, complex and multidimensional process, which we cannot confine to any special time; place, medium and person. Conceptual clarity and agreement is, therefore, lacking among authorities with regard to its nature and definition.

Yamamoto says characteristically that something people call an elephant is there--this much is sure. And all of us blind humans have been touching it, feeling it and describing it to each other, that is, some facts we agree among ourselves, on others we cannot even understand what each is trying to tell other, but it is precisely this amorphousness, which is the elephant creativity and thus not the creative communication.

Creativity is an infinite phenomenon and a person can be creative in an endless number of ways towards acquiring what we call genius. Creativity is a magic touch of the magic wand encompassing individual fulfillment and social good, as the inventions and discoveries. There are many classifications or schools of types of creativity, like that of Psychology and Philosophy.

The creativity is not such a common factor that we may ignore it. Self-study is a creative factor, and learning is useless if it is not an expression of our development. Creativity plays its great role in thinking, modes of social interaction, studies, working and playing.

Why we miss the creativity in communication is that we focus more on our personality development than the self-development. Just taking care of both is the master key to all arts, the art of living, and yes, including the Art of Creative Communication.
