The Importance Of Hazooria
The great Guru then ordered Baba Ji to tell the sangat on his behalf that, ”Whenever someone comes to pay their respects to Guru Granth Sahib Ji, then that person should have a hazooria around their neck. The old gursikhs used to keep a hazooria with them. If one is doing Ardas with the hazooria around their neck I listen to them with great care and attention. A hazooria is a symbol of humility and servitude to the Lord Almighty. If a gursikh cannot keep a hazooria all day then he should wear it at least when coming to pay respects in front of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. This pleases us.” Baba Ji related both these orders from the great Guru to the assembled congregation. The doubt about who can perform Ardas and whose prayer is heard was dispelled.

Before entering the Guru’s room, he would wash his hands, face and feet carefully, wrap a hazooria around his neck and always wear a double dastaar. The rest of the sangat was advised to do the same too. These days granthi Singhs (priests) commit negligence when serving Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. We should all be alert about this malpractice. When reading Gurbani, we should use the hazooria to cover our mouth when coughing and conducting such actions in the 361 presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Another habit people have when reading path is to place their elbows on the manji Sahib whilst reading. This should to be discouraged, as it is impolite and disrespectful. The scriptures of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji should be turned over slowly and reverently. Lastly, we pray that the great Guru bless us all with intellect and insight to perform service of the great Guru with devotion and faith.
