Vaheguru Jee ka Khalsa

Vaheguru Jee Ki Fateh

Just wanted to respond to one of your answers, where you suggest that rehiraaas sahib should include full anand sahib pauris.

I request that you see Damdami Taksaal rehit Mareyada, the most authentic and perhaps respected reht mareyada in the khalsa panth. The taksaal was set up by guru gobind singh jee himself, and they read the long rehiraas with 'chaupais', but without full anand sahib, just six pauris.

I do not see this issue as too controversial, as if someone wishes to read full anand sahib, then good or them. But sikhs who do not have not 'altered ' in any way from gurmat mareyada.

(REPLY) Yes and no. Yes, it is not necessary to read the full Anand Sahib in Rehiras. Reading the first five Pauris is acceptable. However, to add the 40th as a sixth implies that the full Anand has been read, and that is misleading and not correct. SP
