Head Granthi skips Chaupai Sahib at Sri Harmandir Sahib

[Azaad]

The SGPC executive is likely to initiate action against the head granthi of Sri Harmandar Sahib, Jasvinder Singh, in its Ludhiana meeting on Saturday for skipping “Chaupai Sahib” while performing the ‘path’ of ‘Rehraas Sahib’ at the sanctum sanctorum last evening.

Sources said the SGPC authorities started receiving calls from India and abroad as soon as the head granthi committed the mistake on Thursday evening as Gurbani recital from the Golden Temple was being telecast live in various countries. Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh said Jasvinder admitted to have committed the mistake inadvertently. Sources said the head granthi was reportedly asked to resign, but he declined to do so. There are reports that the SGPC may either remove him from his post or transfer him elsewhere.
