An Ardas, with a granthi you can see.

A request

Three steps. No bidding.

1. 01

   State the Ardas

   Name the occasion and the people who should be included. A short note goes to the granthi alone.

2. 02

   Take who is free

   The first granthi free for that occasion, or one you choose by name. The offering is on the page before you begin.

3. 03

   Join the line

   A private video sitting. Your camera is optional. E–ARDAS does not record the audio or the picture.

The standard

Checked twice, by two different people.

No granthi appears here on their own word. Only a Sikh granthi can be admitted. The person who does the first review never signs the second.

1. 01

   Identity and seva

   A government identity document, and a letter of seva from a gurdwara committee.

2. 02

   A second person

   Someone else confirms the letter, speaks with the named reference, and takes a signed code of conduct.

3. 03

   Then they can be requested

   Only after both reviews. The sitting is an Ardas in the Sikh form. E–ARDAS is not a gurdwara.
