1. Of course if you are having an Akahnd Paath done then it is best if you are there to listen to it and gain some updhashe, but if you cannot be there then at least your money that you paytaa will become suffall. Is it not better that your hard earned money is used in akhand paath? It will be used for langar, for parshaad degh, for flowers to adorn Guru Sahib Ji, for ramalla, for services of the patthies. Is this not better then spending it on maybe cinema outings, restaurants etc etc.
2 Funny how it always comes down to Maya. If we set up a venture, we throw money at it, if it does not work out we say “never mind at least we tried,” if our children use the money and waste it we say “never mind yaar, niaanay aa” but god forbid if we ever have to give our hard earned money for an Akaand Paath, then we roll over in agony.
Have you ever noticed if you say you are having Akahnd Paath done the first thing someone will ask is “Why?” as if the only reason to have Akahnd Paath is if you are in dire trouble and need Gurus help. Why not have Akahnd Paath just to celebrate Gurbani, and the dividends here would be immense.
3 So, if the Akahnd Paath requires £500, this is used for langar, lighting , gas etc. Say we are left with £400 split over five pathies, they get £80 each. Are we so tight that we begrudge a paathi £80 for doing paath ?
Ever thought about all the costs that have to be paid out of the mere £500?
4 From the previous posts there seems to be accusations of ridicule and attacks on a sect , and these people seem so defensive in their posts – I see no evidence of attacks or ridicule. There is no nindhya in telling the truth.
And why should Sikhs not stand up and be counted against those who twist and change bani. We look inwards when we do our nitname (sant) but we stand up against lies and false propaganda (sapahi). If these people regard themselves as non-sikh then why do they give naam from shabads from Guru Granth Sahib Ji? And why the secrecy? Is naam so delicate that the mere mention of it will render it inactive? Or is it so exclusive? We need to proclaim Naam from the roof tops so that people can hear and join in.
5 I have no animosity against these people, for they also have the jyote of Akaal Purkh within them, what I do object to is when they twist and change gurbani meanings for their own ends and entrap unsuspecting people, when they say bad things about our Guru.
