The Jatha follows a strict discipline in keeping the Rehat of Guru Gobind Singh. The Jatha organizes Kirtan Smagams in cities around the world.
The Jatha’s purpose is to provide Sikhs around the world with Sangat (companionship with enlightened souls), just like any other Jatha or group within the greater Khalsa Panth. This style of Keertan is relatively simple, and the entire congregation devotionally participates in singing along. They also enjoy an active style of Keertan recited by Sikhs in a collective manner in front of Guru Granth Sahib. The Akhand Kirtani Jatha, alternatively romanized as the Akhand Keertanee Jathaa and abbreviated as AKJ, is a jatha (collective group) and sect of Sikhism dedicated to the Sikh lifestyle.
