European Yoga Festival Online
VIRTUAL SAHEJ PATH
29 july - 1 august 2021 (Thursday to Sunday)
In collaboration with the European Yoga Festival, 3HO Europe and Sikh Dharma International
This Sahej Path is dedicated to:
•
The European Yoga Festival, which will take place online this year.
•
The birthday anniversary of Guru HarKrishan Ji on August 2, the child Guru who healed thousands of Delhi residents who were afflicted with smallpox.
•
The COVID and oxygen crisis in India. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, India is experiencing the world’s worst outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. We pray deeply for healing for all.
••••
Connecting with the Guru can provide much needed upliftment and comfort during these unprecedented times. Our prayer is that this virtual Sahej Path will give an opportunity for our global Sangat to connect to the Guru within. We ask that Guru guide us during these times of challenge due to coronavirus, and the battle on our planet for equality, respect, love and peace for ALL human beings.
A Sahej Path is a complete reading of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib done by the members of our community. Sahej Paath means easy or relaxed recitation, although we are using the 72 hour model of the traditional Akhand Path. You are welcome to join even if it is your first time reading from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib.

For Readers:
Do I have to participate via Zoom?
No. If you do not wish to read via Zoom, you can complete your assigned reading on your own, offline. However, readers are encouraged to read on Zoom if they are inspired to do so, so other Sangat members can listen to the sound current as well.
If I choose to read via Zoom, do I participate via Audio or Video?
You can choose to join Zoom with just audio, so people can only hear you reading. Or you can choose to join via audio and video, so people can both hear and see you reading.
If technical glitches arise with Zoom, no worries, just proceed with reading your assigned pages as usual. The most important thing is to maintain the integrity of the sound current, whether or not it is being broadcast live.
