Bunga Azaadi on Instagram: "(P)Akhand Paaths — A Critique of Modern "Paath Culture". (!) Disclaimer This critique doesn't apply to all people, it is a general observation that is prevalent due to proliferation of non-Larivaar, non-hand-written Saroops in our Panth which are being used as mere props — something that will be detailed further in an upcoming post/podcast (follow @bunga_azaadi). This is an expression of the author's own personal frustrations with modern “Paath culture” that I have witnessed and have heard about. I am going to speak now in such a broad way to help overcompensate in the other direction. You may not agree with the extremeness of such stances or tones in this post and that is fine, but it is said in such a way to at least redirect the pull in the other direction, against the trend of literalism and the dilution of Sikhi into being just another “religion”. (!) Actual Akahnd Paaths… without the Pakhand. To be clear, I am not against the recitation of Paath and I do think there is a lot of value in reading through the whole of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in one go or to do select Paaths like Sukhmani Sahib too! My issue is specifically with the hollow culture that has formed around it and how they are done so blindly these days. If people who want to do them, do them properly then I have no issue with it. But, for many, realize that it isn’t the only thing you must do. As has been mentioned, there are many alternatives with various practical, strategic and spiritual benefits as well - not just for yourselves, but for generations to come. If we can shift our mindset with this, then we can unlock a lot of opportunity to not only ensure Sikhi survives, but thrives! Stay tuned, since in an upcoming post I will reveal a plan of action that hopefully remedies some of the critiques I have highlighted here and provides an alternative way. ❤️ Like 🧙 Follow 🌐 Share 👎 Disagree #azadism #sikhi #sikh #khalsa #sikheconomics #economics #sikhhistory #anarchism #anarchy #anarchocapitalism #freemarket #fairmarket #capitalism #socialism #communism #marxism #libertarianism #liberty #freedom #azadi #azaadi #bungaazaadi"
