AMRITSAR, Punjab—Due to growing demand for Akhand Path Sahibs at Sri Harmandir Sahib, five new rooms have been constructed by Baba Kashmir Singh Bhuri Wale. The rooms will help cater to Sikh sangat, who have been showing extra-interest in organizing Akhand Path Sahibs at the holy shrine.
According to the resolution of the internal committee of SGPC, Baba Kashmir Singh Bhuri Wale today handed over the five new rooms for Sri Akhand Path Sahib near Dukh Bhanjni Beri in Sri Harmandir Sahib after completing Kar sewa. Before this, Hazoori Ragi Bhai Ravinder Singh performed Gurbani Kirtan and then Bhog of Sri Akhand Path Sahib was performed.
Chief Granthi Giani Jagtar Singh, Singh Sahib Giani Raghbir Singh, Baba Darshan Singh, Baba Shinda Singh, Baba Sukha Singh, Secretary Satbir Singh, Manjit Singh, Additional Secretary Sukhdev Singh Bhoora Kohna, Skattar Singh, Manager Partap Singh, Kulwinder Singh Ramdas, Swinderpal Singh, Inderpal Singh etc. were present during the function.
While Akhand Path Sahibs help Sikh sangat feel a sense of connection, a new trend has arisen in which people merely pay for Gurbani paths without caring to listen to the Gurbani being read. Therefore, some suggest that the SGPC must ensure that the families organizing Akhand Path Sahibs are paying full attention to Gurbani and that Akhand Path Sahibs are not merely organized as a ritual.
