From September 2007 organisation for the year long Sri Akhand Path Sahibs took place. All items required for the Sri Akhand Paths were specifically tailored at Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar in an organisation plan, which operated day and night. Housing for all Pattis was arranged at Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar, where all blankets, food, cleaning facilities, rest facilities and other essential requirements were all fully provided. Baba Ji informed all Pattis and Sewadars that if any one was to enter the Darbar Sahib Ji where the Sri Akhand Paths Sahib Ji's were taking place it was an essential requirement they had Keshi Ishnaan.

Jathedar of Thakht Sri Damdama Sahib Giani Balwant Singh Ji Nandgarh alongside Jathedar of Thakht Sri Keshgarh Sahib Giani Trilochan Singh Ji also paid respects at the programme and congratulated Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji on arranging such a great year long celebration. Jathedar Giani Balwant Singh Ji Nandgarh illustrated how the programme arranged by Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji was one of great planning and gratitude towards Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Gurgadi Devas Celebration.

101 Sri Akand Path Sahib's are now being carried out every 2 days until October 2008, in which the Sikh Nation as a whole will celebrate Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji's Gurgadi Devas. Before the completion of 13,13,13 Sri Akhand Path Sahib Ji's, 4 Nagar Kirtans to each of our Holy Thakhts will be carried out from Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar Pehowa. Once the Bhog has taken place a final Nagar Kirtan will leave from Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar Pehowa to Sackhand Sri Hazoor Sahib Ji Nanded with 5 helicopters flying above Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji spraying the Palki Sahib with flowers throughout the entire Nagar Kirtan.

It is a request to Sangat across the world to take part in this divine celebration, and celebrate Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji's 300th Gurgadi Devas with upmost respect and dignity.
