Doing paath for someone else

[Guest Kaur]

Sat Sri Akal,

I have been doing paath but I usually do it on behalf of my parents and grandparents. Is this considered idolatry? Will the phal(fruit) be given to the people I do paath for?

[Guest Kaur]

On a side note: I do a personal ardas to waheguru to accept the paath on the other person's behalf and give them them phal, and the punishment for any mistake to me

[Guest ardas]

I think its nice of what you do but your Qs will remain unanswered.  Only god knows. But it's  a bit like when the hindus were throwing water like do things for yourself. On behalf of doesn't work but if it motivates you to meditate...

Idolatry? The worship of inanimate objects?
