Akal Takht on Monday urged the'pracharaks' or preachers to "donate time" by sparing a month every year for the Sikh Panth in order to take the message and philosophy of Sikhism to every house.
Gurbachan Singh, head of the top temporal seat of the Sikh community, made the call while
addressing the valedictory function of the three-day 'Naam Simran Gurmat Samagam' here.
"Those 'pracharaks' who can afford to donate time and have fulfilled
family responsibilities should volunteer to spare one month for Panth",
Singh said.
"This type of donation of time, along with traditional donations, was
necessary for carrying the message of Sikhism to different places the
world over, saving our youths from apostasy, drugs and other evils and
for respecting women, especially the girl child", he said.
He also urged the entire Sikh community to commit itself to Akal
Takht, adding that the results of the recent elections of Delhi Sikh
Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) were a "slap on the faces of all
those forces which had made sinister attempts to erode the supremacy of
Akal Takht".
"Certain forces were always on the lookout to marginalise Sikh
institutions, including Akal Takht, in order to weaken Sikh community
but they will never succeed in the nefarious designs", he said.
