Actually, I know what Naam Dhrird is. And I have received Gurmantr. And you still have not answered my question ji.
Every jatha gives Gurmantar naam. Every jatha's punj teach how to do simran.
So why do AKJ claim that only AKJ (and a few other smaller jathas) give Naam Dhrird?
Gurmantar is different from the method used to jap naam.
Gurmantar (often referred to as Naam) is something which can only be granted by the Punj Pyare and none other. Every Punj Pyare of every jatha grant Gurmantar.
The punj are also supposed to teach how to do simran. Some call this teaching of a particular simran method naam dhridh while others call the giving of Gurmantar Naam Drirdh. A lot of people claiming to believe in Naam Drirdh are very confused as to what exactly it is. Every jatha teaches this sass girass method of simran (which is sometimes called naam dhridh), however, they very often do not use the label of naam dridh for it.
Sometimes the punj do not teach how to do simran (although they should). This however, does not mean that you need to get amritchuk again, and you do not need to see the punj to learn a method of doing simran. It is not written down anywhere that this is required, nor is there any seena-baseena rahit recognised by any samprada or mahapursh that it must be taught only by punj. (Gurmantr of course is always given by punj).
There is no one best method of simran. After doing much vichaar on this issue I've learned that mahapursh may teach one student to do one method of simran, and they teach another student another method of simran. Similar to how a doctor gives a medication for the ailment of one patient, and for another patient who is suffering differently they give a different medication. Once again I emphasize that Gurmantar is different from methods of doing simran, and Gurmantar is only given by the punj pyare, whereas methods of doing simran can be taught by others.
In Guru Granth Sahib ji different methods for doing simran have been described. Mahapurks over the ages have also taught various simran methods to the sangat.
For example, this is the saas-girass method of simran: [

Bhai Raghbir Singh Bir, in Bandginama, talks about this practice, he says, “When you say Vah you breathe in and when you say Guroo you breathe out”
Another example, Baba Juala Singh ji taught Baba Jagjit Singh ji's father a method of simran that is different from the technique taught in Naam Dhrird. This was written in a book by Baba Jagjit Singh ji.
