57. Distribution of Articles Sanctified by Touch

57. DISTRIBUTION OF ARTICLES SANCTIFIED BY TOUCH

            90. The presiding adept is sometimes garlanded before the commencement of the service, and garlands sanctified by his touch are distributed to the members of the congregation. Sweets or some other light articles of food are also sometimes distributed after sanctification by the adept. They constitute, as it were, the sacrament of the Satsang. The above two functions are, however, being gradually given up in the Radhasoami Satsang in consequence of the increasing numbers in the Satsang; and if the present expansion continues bringing together daily over hundreds and thousands of the followers of Radhasoami Faith, the functions referred to may have to be abandoned as a part of the Satsang.
