[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 107730, member: 138"] Gyani ji, Guru Fateh. Wow! What a simple and to the point depiction of our inner slippery slopes! Thanks very much for your beautiful explanation about the difference among the 3. Coincidentally, simillar question was posed by Trimaan last night at our dinner table.Allow me to share with you all. The reason it came up because of our Sunday visit to the Gurdwara where he gets bored with Kirtan because he does not understand it and the only time he enjoys his visit is when it is time for the explanation of the Hukumnaama in English, of which the discussion continues till we get home. His question was, why can't Paath and Kirtan be in English because most of the young ones do not understand Punjabi, that is why they play football outside till it is time for Hukumnaama? That is the only time they come in just before Ardaas. He enjoys listening to Sufi Islamic music in English and he wanted something like that in Sikhi. I have asked him to download Bhai Dya Singh's kirtan and also some by American Sikhs and check it out. He would need a couple of reminders for that from me. So, the question was raised about the difference between Paath, Kirtan and Katha from Sikhi viewpoint? As, this 14 year old is tutoring a girl 7th grade math, I asked him how would he compare that to his tutoring? After a pause of a few seconds, he said, Paath is reading and understanding the Math problem, Kirtan is solving it step by step, by taking your time. Kaatha has 2 objectives,he said. First to explain what the problem is and then the way to solve it and there could be several ways to do that. Jaskeerat who is a sophomore at LMU this fall is taking Macro Economics this summer at UNLV had this take. Paath is studying and understanding the economics problem that our country is facing. Kirtan is like our President explaining the problems to the public and to the Congress and the Senate via news conferences and Youtube and Kaatha is what congress does in debating the problems but does not do a good job as many people who come to Gurdwara and do the Katha because it is more about themselves than finding and explaining the ways to solve the problems that our country faces. I learn a new thing about myself and Gurmat from my kids daily. I am just a blessed dad. Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
