[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 12790, member: 189"] Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji KI Fateh. Not really. The English are trying to do what we should have done in the FIRST PLACE. Here is a a post from another Forum which i wrote about our GRANTHIS. "Author: [EMAIL="JSArshi@gmail.com?subject="][COLOR=#0000ff]Jarnail Singh Gyani "Arshi"[/COLOR][/EMAIL] Date: 08-02-05 17:11 Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh. Today on the net I came across a LIST of "FORMER GRANTHIS" in Australia who have "retired" from Granthi and gone into other businesses and outside work. A Christian friend commented on this..This is UNIQUE.... Our Christian Priests go through a LONG PERIOD of Seminary studies etc and then become PRIESTS for LIFE....Same for the IMAMS, the Rabiis and the Monks of Buddhist temples and even the SWAMIS in the Hindu mandirs.. It is ONLY in the SIKH RELIGION that any "unemployed" or "unemployable" person can walk in to a Gurdwara and become a GRANTHI/GYANI overnight...and then when he gets the PR/GREEN CARD etc..he walks out to become..??? whatever he really wanted to in the First Place. The Australian List has 15 names on it.... a WORLD RECORD... I dont think we can ever find such list of hindu priests, imamas, or Christian Priests. It is proof that "GRANTHI" is just a stepping stone towards PR/Green card for those who cant get in any other way... Any wonder then that we DONT have MUCH Parchaar coming out of GURDWARAS.....the "caretakers" are just bidding their time !!!! We spend BILLIONS making magnifiecent Gurdwaras..BUT NOTHING on the GRANTHIS who will be dedicated to GRANTHI for LIFE. IN MALAYSIA/SINGAPORE too the FIRST GENERATION of GRANTHIS were Granthis for LIFE...now the ones we "import" from punjab are just marking time until they get a chance to..fly away to Australia/canada...etc etc.. IF in the meantime they can do some HAVOC locally they grab the first chance..and then they have to be "chased away" to another gurdwara only too willing to give them a safe haven...for a while..until they fly away.. Jarnail Singh. END of message. Here is what another reader has to say baout an ideal granthi: quote: Author: charanjeev singh Date: 08-04-05 14:53 waheguruujikakhalsa waheguruujikifateh In my humble opinion, this is whom i would consider the perfect Granthi, the perfect Raagis, and the Perfect Ardaasi. The Granthi Sahib, Raagis, and Ardaasi, would all live in the country in where they also run the congregation. The Granthi Sahib, Raagis, and Ardaasi, would be family men/women, whom would gather at the Gurdwara Sahib in the mornings. They would do seva of Guru Granth Sahib Jee in Laridhaar Sarroop, and do NitNem together. They would perform keertan in Raags prescribed in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, and conclude with the Ardaas. All seva performed will be Niskhaam. During the days, they would do their Kirt Kamai at their respected places of employment, business, or elsewhere. The evening samagam would include Rehraas sahib, Keertan in Raags with string instruments. Larivaar Katha of Siri Guru Granth Sahib jee, and Katha of Hukamnama Sahib would also be done everyday. All sewa done would be Nishkaam. There should be at least two Granthi Sahibs, two raagi keertan jathas, and two ardaasis. Samagams would be held everyday, morning and evening. The sewadaars would also be the sewaks in Panj Pyareh Di Sewa. The Langar would be made under the guidelines of Sri Akaal Takhat Sahib.
