    Respected Pal Ji, thanks for elaborating meaning and significance of this symbol. I suggest following  changes :

    1. As given in the logo of Global Sikh Council, we can see that oorha is open with extending line. Let us all of us try to follow a uniform  pattern. This is a unique Symbol given by or Guru Saheb.

    2. Secondly, we should follow  the pronunciation as given in Guru Granth Saheb. Following Gurbani  lines will make it clear about pronunciation –

    In my view we must follow one pattern for writing as well as pronunciation as given to us by our great Guru Saheb.
