[QUOTE="OSingh, post: 168098, member: 15900"] Gurbani is also written to a poetic metre. This is why Gurbani rhymes so beautifully and we can both utter Gurbani (path) and do kirtan. When you do translation you lose the poetic and rhyming quality which is very important. It is the way Gurbani has been written that one can listen for long time. Translations and meanings done in English are fine but paath and kirtan of Gurbani should always be done in Gurmukhi. The rass and an anand of reading Gurbani in Gurmukhi can never be equalled by translation. Reading Gurbani in Gurmukhi one even gets anand from the bani we do not understand such is the poetic quality of Gurbani. If one really wants to get full benefit of Gurbani they will surely make an effort to learn Gurmukhi. We learn lots of other stuff and waste hours doing useless activities but we cannot take the time out to learn Gurmukhi? I agree Akhand Paath is just becoming a revenue stream for Gurdwaras to finance even more Akhaand Paaths and weddings. Those booking the Akhaand Paath do not listen to the bani rather they spend most of the time in the langar hall chatting with relatives. Everybody then attends the final ardaas thinking they have done Akhaand Paath but in reality have not even listened to or done vichar of even 1 pankti of Gurbani. For 3 days the the darbar sahib is mostly empty whilst the Granthi does path in poor manner which no one can understand. However the Granthi must also be disheartened when none of the par war (family) who organised Akhaand Paath are actually listening to it. This results in the Granthi becoming lazy in doing the paath. However when there is lots of Sangat for the bhog then the Granthis do paath of final banis Mahalla Naava, Mundavani loudly and clearly. For a good Akhaand Paath you you require good sewadaars who do sewa with pyaar and shardha. You require Granthis who can read Gurbani in fluent and clear manner and do not becoming lazy in doing path. The Granthi should read Gurbani in same manner regardless of how many in attendance. Also at least 1 member of parwar if not all should always be listening to paath of Gurbani in Darbar Sahib. The Gurdawara committee's need to set out guidelines before an Akhand Paath and tell the parwar clearly what is required of them. However this is unlikely as this will result in less Akhand Paaths and therefore less revenue. Satguru Mehar Karan! [/QUOTE]
