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 ?

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
