What Is Akaal Chalana?

[Sikh Unit Fan]

I heard that term in post in this forum but have no idea what it means. I Googled it but could not find enough infomrmation. What does this term mean?

[Singh, Mahan]

Akaal Chalaana means to have gone to Akaal Purkh - - Meaning the person has passed away (died)

[jasvendrasingh]

Literally it means - untimely death . But now it has been used to notify death of a person of any age , hence it is accepted phrase for indicating DEath of a person

I though according to Sikhi you could meet Vaheguru while alive. In fact that's the goal of life(the goal of life, not Sikhi, Raj Na chal, Mukt Na Chal)

I was giving the the literal meaning of the words. I was not explaining the theological concept or what happens when someone dies. Quite often the word " Akaal Chalaana " is used instead of (someone) "died" - "passed way"
