The important decisions concerning the religious and social life of the Sikh community have been taken here.
Sri Akal Takht Sahib. Akal Takht Sahib literally means Eternal Throne. It is also part of the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar. It's foundation was laid by Guru Hargobind Sahib. The Akal Takht is situated opposite to Harmandir Sahib and are connected by a passage. The building of the Akal Takht opposite the Golden Temple has a special meaning. While the Golden Temple stands for spiritual guidance the Akal Takht symbolizes the dispensing of justice and temporal activity.
In earlier days all Sikh warriors sought blessings here before going to battle fields. During the 18th century while Sikhs were fighting a guerrilla war in the forests they used to gather at the Akal Takht on special occasions such as Baisakhi and Diwali.
Here the community used to have general meetings and approve resolutions. The two takhts outside Punjab have their own trusts and boards. There is no fixed tenure.
When Takht Damdama Sahib was recognised as the fifth, Sikh philosopher Kapur Singh questioned the move, arguing that it would open demands for more and more takhts.
Now, the location of the proposed new takht in Pakistan has led to questions being raised about its independence, as gurdwaras across the border are not controlled by the community as is the practice in India, but by a department of the government called Evacuee Trust Board.
Paramjit Singh Sarna, who mooted the proposal, says he only floated an idea and it was for the Sikh Panth to take the call. No single person can decide on this. Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee general secretary Gopal Singh Chawla, on the other hand, said the gathering Sarna had addressed welcomed his proposal. He added the proposal was yet to be deliberated upon.
