Sadharan Paath

Sahej Paath (Punjabi: ਸਹਜ ਪਾਠ) or Sadharan Paath (Punjabi: ਸਧਾਰਨ ਪਾਠ) or even Khula Paath, literally means easy or simple recitation. It is a paath (recitation) which may be started and ended at any time; with as many or as few people participating as desired. The recitation of the Guru Granth Sahib is started at the beginning of the Granth Sahib and the whole of the 1430 pages of the Guru Granth is read in a slow fashion over from seven days to, in some cases, over several months. It is a slow, intermittent, non-regular, and non-urgent reading of the whole of the Guru Granth Sahib. Any paath which exceeds a week's length is referred to as a Sahej Paath.
