Basic questions, your answers are appreciated:
On Akhand Paath (continuous reading of SGGS) Sikh Rehat Maryada states: "[SIZE=-1]However, it should never be allowed to happen that the reader carries on the reading all by himself/herself and no member of the congregation or the family is listening in to the reading."
[/SIZE]The Gurdwara I visit has a sound system which relays the reading of SGGS to other parts of the Gurdwara, like kitchen and langar hall.
Does that mean it is OK to have no one in Darbar Sahib while the Akhand Paath is being read, or should there always be at least one person in darbar sahib purposefully listening?
If someone finds themselves to be the last person in darbar sahib, are they obliged to stay until someone else comes to listen?
Thanks
