Respected Sir,

Sat Sri Akal,

Who started the pratha of AKHAND PATH, and whetateh Gurbani allows it to do AKHAND PATH. Recently I saw a note in one of the rasala that gurbani does not allow to have Akhand PATH at home. Your clearance will strngthen my mentalility,

Thanks.regards

Sat nam. Siri Guru Granth Sahib was read in its entirety during the last days of Guru Gobind Singh's life.
As long as Akhand Paath is unbroken, and the setting for Guru is graceful and gurdwara protocol met, Akhand Paath in home is OK. Helps to have the homeowner monitor the readers and engage sevadars and sangat to help with reading, prasad, keeping gurdwara graceful, keeping home graceful etc. during that time.

Many many Sikhs have rooms for 'Babaji' and many many of them around the world will hold an Akhand Paath in honor of a special occassion, such as birth, death, new home, gurpurb, etc.
