Stop Hearthside Foods' Use of the Golden Temple Brand
The Petition
Whereas: The Golden Temple is the English name for Darbar Sahib located in Amritsar India and The Golden Temple is a central Gurdwara (house of worship) for Sikhs everywhere and Sikhism teaches to never mix faith with commerce and Sikh teachings are offered freely:
Whereas: no one should profit when sharing the Sikh religion, and no one should trivialize other's religious traditions, much less profit from cheapening them:
Whereas: The Golden Temple should not be branded and Gurdwaras, including The Golden Temple, are places of worship, and are open to feed people not for commercial purposes:
Whereas: Sikhs live by the principles of remembering God, working hard and sharing with others and nowhere in the Sikh scriptures is there any promotion of cheap commercial gimmicks using the Sikh sacred shrines for profit:
Hearthside Foods' Website states: "Golden Temple Now a Hearthside Foods Company"
Whereas: The Golden Temple is not a brand name for any trade and The Golden Temple is the Almighty's temple, a place of devotion, equality, love, service, and protection for all, not to be used for commercial profit:
We the undersigned request Hearthside Foods to respect the Sikh faith and stop selling and or using the Golden Temple brand name and or images of The Golden Temple.
