Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

firstly, i would like to congratulate the sikhnet site developers on making such an informative site. all the items on the site r great...like the cyber Hukamnama and the shabads for printing...

i have a small problem, which i think could be a misconception. i have been told by a few ppl that the Hukamnama is read only till the first time Guru Nanak's name appears. i am not sure about this. would be grateful if u could help me with this.

(REPLY) Sat Nam. When a Hukam begins with a Slok, we continue reading all the way through till the end of the Pauri. If the Hukam does not start with a Slok, it may go on for many pages, so one must use judgment to determine where to end, and usually one can find a place where a thought is obviously completed, ending with Guru Nanak's name. blessings, SP
