Wahe guru ji ka khalsa wahe gur ji ke fateh

When doing an Akand Path , does it matter at what speed you recite the sri Guru Granth sahib ji ?

Does it matter what time scale the Akand Path completes ?

Does it matter how many Akand paths are recited at the same time i.e. 5 or more in the same place at same time?

Does it matter what age group recites the Sti Guru Granth Sahib when doing an Ankand Path?

Please if you can provide any sort of references would be highly appreciated ?

The Akhand Paath must be completed within 48 hours time limit. Thus, the speed of recitation must be fast and fluent (do not attempt to correct each line more than 2 times).

There is no bandish on how many saroops of sri guru granth sahib ji are prakash.

Misbehaved kids or gossip filled people should not do raul. The paathis should talk very less, sleep less during the sri akhand paath. Mahapurakh used to say the paathis should do japji, sukhmani or chaupai prayer in the mean time.

There is no time limit to complete an Akhand paath. Nor does speed matter, so long as it is nonstop. You can download the rahit for it from www.Gurmatveechar.com in the literature section.

Thank you for the information

The Rehat maryada at www.gurmatveechar.com site states Akhand Path "should" be completed in 48 hours , does this mean the aim is 48 hours , but it can go over , but then the question arises Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the living Guru for the Sikhs , then should we keep Guru Ji awake for more the 48 hours as continuous recital of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is done ?

If not , then speed surely matters ? and if speed matters , then reading too fast surely is not soothing to hear .

Also when reciting sri Guru granth Sahib ji , should it be done aloud until completion ?

When reciting Jap Ji Sahib , if Akhand has been completed , and your half way through reading the Jaap Ji Sahib , I assume it must be completed before the ardaas is done .

I can guess only anubhavi mahapurakhs like Baba Ishar Singh and Baba Nand Singh ji can answer your questions.

We can only speculate.

Usually, the Japji sahib paathis adjust their speed as necessary so that they finish when Raag Mala finishes. Generally, they don't start another paath once Salok Mahala 9 begins, they read the last paath slowly enough to end at the same time as the Akhand Paath.

It means it's ok if it goes over. Sant Scholar Naranjan Singh ji also stated this.
