Answer:
Masand System or MASANDS were, in early Sikhism, local community leaders who looked after the ^an^a^in their diocese and linked them to their spiritual mentor, the Guru. They led Sikh, preached the word of the Guru and transmitted to him their offerings, escorting occasionally batches of them to his presence. The first such masands were appointed by Guru Arjan. The word masand is from Persian (Masdat) masnad, meaning a throne or a cushion to recline. As appropriated into the SIKH tradition, it further advanced the concept of manji (cot) on which the preachers sat, reclining against a cushion, as they expounded to the people Guru Nanak`s gospel.
