‘Beadbi’ or 'sacrilege' means being disrespectful towards Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The concept of sacrilege in Sikhism emanates largely from the fact that Sikhs consider the Guru Granth Sahib to be a living Guru. The Sikhs consider the Guru Granth Sahib and everything associated with it as highly sacred. In Sikhism, the Guru is considered to be a living entity, hence any harm or disrespect to the guru is treated as a serious offence.
