No, the Guru Granth Sahib is not kept in NASA.
While there's no evidence to suggest the Guru Granth Sahib is housed within NASA's facilities, the question highlights the respect and reverence it holds for Sikhs. To understand why the Guru Granth Sahib wouldn't simply be kept in a library, it's important to understand its significance.
The Guru Granth Sahib is not merely a religious text for Sikhs; it is considered the living Guru. Therefore, if an institution like NASA, or any other library, were to house a physical copy, it would require specific arrangements to honor its status. These arrangements would include:
- Prakash: A designated space and ritual for its "opening" or display.
- Respectful Environment: Ensuring the environment is clean and respectful, adhering to Sikh traditions.
Therefore, while any library could theoretically house a copy, it would require significant accommodations that go beyond simply placing it on a shelf.
