Revision history [back]

We do that in our Sangat. In fact, there used to be two dogs who belonged to members of the Sangat who used to sit right outside the Gurdwara doors all day long. They were there when we arrived and still there when we left. I used to call them the "parshad hounds." Many Sangat members saved bits of parshad for them. One day I asked Yogiji about them and he said that they were together in a previous life and served as show wallas outside a Gurdwara in India. One of them stole a pair of jeweled jutti. Even though he later tried to return them, they were both reborn as dogs and came to our Gurdwara every day because that was the habit established in the previous lifetime. At Harimandir Sahib many give parshad to the fishes and birds even though the sevadars there discourage it.
