Thanks for the replies - really appreciate it! One more thing - I do the sukhmani sahib in english translation so is that ok also cause my friend said its better to do it in gurmukhi but I don't know how to read gurmukhi. As for the simran - why do I need more than 20 min?? I'm not saying it's wrong I just want to know the reasoning because even at the gurudawara they do it for 30 min on friday and I want to make sure I achieve the full benefits of doing simran and gurbani
Sorry one more thing - is it ok to do this online from youtube..the giani says it in gurmukhi while I can read it in english or is it better to do it from a gutka?
