I remember I went to a Sukhmani Sahib paat some months before lockdown, and the paati started reading kabyo baach benti and went straight to swaiya without reading Kripa kari hum jagmata. So is it rude to interrupt the paati with the rest of Kabyo Baach Chaupai Sahib, or maybe even is it rude to not interrupt, ie rude to stay quiet? I am just thinking for if this happens at another family gathering in a house. Not asking for a big gurdwara programme, for that need a jatha of Singhs/sikhs to interrupt lol!

Waheguru ji, this might be my first question on here, but I always feel weird skipping 85% of Anand Sahib during rehraas. Is it okay to include those 34 pauris when I do rehraas? (I have done this a few times before). I am aware that several sampardayi include more and more dasam bani, but chhota anand sahib is something every dal and sampardayi agrees on (as far as this agianee is aware of) so I am not sure whether it is okay for me to bring this up or do on a personal basis either.

For a very long time now I have been trying to play a shaan on my vaja just like the one Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji Rara Sahib Wale used to play in his diwaans but I find it extremely difficult to do so. I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to or knows anyone that can, or anyone that might be able to play their own by listening to it and then making a video tutorial of it. It's a really hard task, I'm not that experienced with harmonium anyway. By the way there is one guy that I know of that plays the shaan EXACTLY 100% just like Maharaj, he is the son of Bhai Ajit Singh Swindon and sits alongside him and plays it at the beginning of their diwaans. I once approached him a…

Any ideas when the modern version of the Anand Karaj became the norm or where it started from? From my understanding, puratan Sikh weddings consisted of doing Laavan around a Havan. In fact, my great grandmother actually got married according to this custom.

While doing simran in the morning, my mind always goes elsewhere (or I'm half asleep) so I'm looking for tuks in gurbani to keep in mind. Also, while doing simran on the harmonium in the afternoon, I would also like more tuks to sing. Any help?

Arjan Singh - came from Argentina to England to join the army and fight in WW1. Apparently he knew Spanish and had worked on the railways. Sadly he didn't survive the war as there is a memorial in San Pedro Argentina which lists his name as those who went from Argentina to fight in the war and did not survive.

Shame if our past these modern days jatts sgpc lost are . One question I have is...where were the Nihangs and the anti jar Seva when anandgarh was town down and kshgarh remade to what it is now....mughals couldn't even destroy the qila. Yet we did at multiple places with our own hands..shame on sangat flr not stopping precious ones and lakh lanat to the destructors of Sikh puratan asthaans all these kar Seva babeh of the past -
Reason behind it is. You can't get mass sangat in to fill the golak up.... that's why they are all the same in design etc .probs some mafia rAcket related to the mass marbeling of gurughars. Such a shame. Hardly any pictures of the original anandgar qila..only one in the toor collection
