Sat1176 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 A gurdwara in New Zealand has started accepting card payments as well as cash in the golak. Imagine the queue building up for people of who want to give darshani petha via card. Some gurdwaras are too forward thinking that the essence is lost. Unbelievable! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat1176 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 It's a Sikh Awareness exclusive! Was sent to me by someone who went to do kirtan at Papa Toe Toe Gurdwara in Auckland, New Zealand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know whether to laugh or gasp at the shock. The number of jokes that came in my head was embarrassing and inappropriate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time the jall was taken very quickly so the next time the committee decided rather to invest in more degs, to buy buy cases of plastic bottled water and give these out to the sangat after bhog of Sampat Paath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paapiman Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 There is nothing wrong with it per se. There might be some people (including me) who do not like to carry cash in their wallets. For them, it provides them an opportunity to give Darshani Bheta. But the positioning of the card reader is not that great. It might give out a wrong impression to people (including non-Sikhs). They should find a better spot for it.

sarabatam Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 This should be downstairs or near the office not anywhere near the galok besides that there is nothing wrong with it. Heck I am all about new technology and new innovations in gurdwara in proper places even wondering about new Android pay option :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online payments can ensure reduction in theft incidents, which sadly do occur in some Gurudwaras. Along with that, if most of the Darshani Bheta goes online/electronic (meaning each Bheta will have a digital footprint), it can ensure minimal misappropriation of Sangat's money.
