[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 109931, member: 189"] In the early decades before the 70's..each Granthi in Malaysia/singapore/thailand/indonesia region was a Family man, local Citizen who lived in the Gurdwara Premises with his family 24.7. He was the gardener, the sweeper, the caretaker,Punjabi School Teacher, paath kiratn teacher etc etc and his family were also his ragi jatha, tabla player , karah parshad distributor etc etc. There were no vising ragi jathas and etc..No body felt any dnager sendign their children to gurdwara even at odd times of the night or day.. After the 80's that Generation of Granthis phased out..none of their children/dependnats wnated that occupation as it ahd no respect/future in terms of career pay etc. ONly a person who couldnt even be a cowherd would become a granthi..even the ex-cowherds preferred to be watchmen at night...the pay was better and respect was there.. So the Gurdwaras were forced to begin IMPORTING Granthis from India..these were ussually YOUNGISH, and in the earlier batches had soem experience in granthiship..having woprked as garnthis in some Gurdwara in Punjab...as time went on Ragi jathas began to visit..and at any one time there would be a dozen or so young sin gle ragis etc hanging around...more and more ragi darbaars..paaths and sehaj paaths, ardasses etc etc began to be held...some of these even eloped with girls that came to elarn kirtan paath etc to Gurdwara.. soon the Malaysian Govt set a Age milit..over 40s only can be granted a visa for Granthi...that is on the premise that an OLDER Granthi is less likely to be a..."sex maniac" ?? sorry for the harsh words..but reality is such...being away from homeland..young blooded and lonely..these sought a way to stay longer..have fun..??? SO NOW the same problem has surfaced in Punjab Gurdwaras...reasons are probably the same..its NOT age per se..its up bringing..and GURMUKHTA..grounding.. in Religion..all that is WEAK or non existant..the people in it are sollely for the MONEY...and also SO MANY people wamt akhand paaths doen, this and that done..so much demand for this false rituals..pakhands..that ahs to be filled somehow..so those youngsters who cant go abroad, have no education, cant get any decent job...end up in Gurdwaras...has to happen that way..many also see this as away of getting a visa to migrate....position in Diaspora is so abd no one knows any Punjabi much less Gurbani..whatever the "granthi Ji" Gyani ji says is 100% accepted..after all he is the EXPERT...when the SIGHTED allow the BLIND to lead them by the NOSE..such types surface to fill the void... The Answer to this is to LEARN GURMUKHI..LEARN GURBANI ..paath..kirtan..ardass..so that each SIKH can do the JOB HIMSELF as Guru Ji intended...then the Granthi cna be questioned..and he will know he cnat get away with everything..sangats know...then they will be more responsioble and less liable to pull the wool over everyones eyes...:up: [/QUOTE]
