Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Went to book an Akhand Paath today from the gurdwara and was told that they will not allow prakash of Japji Sahib Pothi; they will not keep jal; they will not keep a coconut and will not light a jyot during the Akhand Paath.

I wanted to ask is it manmat to have these things present during an Akhand Paath? If so, Why?

It is not manmat.This is the real maryada of an Akhand path.If you can find a Gurdwara that is pro taksal/nihang they will willingly do these things.

Where do you live?

Southall.

The gurdwara we had it booked from has said that these things go against maryada.

Could you please explain what things like Jyot, Dhoof and coconut signify during an akhand paath?

Can you please tell me what a cocnut, jal, dhoof and jyot signify during an Akhand Paath?

I'm not trying to start a debate or anything, just genuinley wanna know the purpose behind it.

Well dhoop: clean-ness of sangat dhoop kills a lot of bacteria in the air.

Kyo (butter or ghee) jyot: a light parkash for maharaaj

Jal:with all that bani the jal bacomes pavitar and amrit and can be then sprinled around ur house and drank.

Coconuts(naraaial): original maryada to do jhatka (quick cut) of coconuts with a axe, its to enfuse bir ras hence we do on dasam parkash akhand/sehaj path

Japjisahib:this is old maryada to keep a jap ji sahib pothi and is a must.

The sgpc gurdwareh in southall r nindaks and nastiks sangat ji they go against the hukam of takhts and disrespect bani/rehat.

Allow nindaks such as dhunda in which dosent even belive in naam simran!

I wud suggest u try the cliffton road gurdwara there has been that maryada practiced on akhand paaths. Gud luck

Let me explain you in a little bit of detail, 

First, while bringing guru granth sahib ji home you must have seen the people ringing a talla(bell) and sprinkling water. The water is sprinkled to clean the area where the guru is coming and the bell is talla is rung so that people know that the guru is coming and make way. 

Next the jyot which is a ceremonial Clarified butter (ghee) lamp, which burns 24/7 is actually for concentration during paath. It is also found in many gurudwaras in India. 

Last the coconut over kalash of water, it is kept because the water absorbs the gyan of guru and coconut symbolises our head and coconut offerings are also given in many Indian gurudwaras. 

Pls note that all of this is done if the akhand path is held at home. 

Thanks ?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
