Aarti-Aarta.
Aarti aarta is a prayer that is composed of two halves, aarti & aarta. Within the Budha Dal Aarta is actually sung before Aarti however in Dal's such as Baba Bakale the bani is sang in the opposite order. Aarti is made up of shabads from Guru Nanak Dev Ji that were spoken upon seeing the Hindu's performing aarti to idols, aarti also includes shabads from many bhagats such as Bhagat Kabir, Bhagat Danna and many more that inturn instill the spiritual aspect of the Khalsa. The second half named Aarta is a combination of compositions from Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaaj from almost every single Bani from Jaap Sahib to Zafarnama (even including shabads from Sri Sarbloh Granth) to instile the warrior aspect of the Khalsa. The Aarti Aarta worship is perfomed in two ways, either seated via kirtan form, or standing in chaal form. During chaal form there are many aspect of maryada that are carried out: there is a thaal which contains small ghee lamps made from flour and thoof (incense). There is also one Singh who will be given duty of ringing a bell, one Singh who will be given duty of blowing a Sank (shell horn) and one Singh who will be given the duty of sprinkling rose water. Flowers are also thrown during specific parts of the Paath. "Sankhan kee dhun kantan kee kar phoolan ki barakhaa barakhaavai" It is at this point flowers are thrown, horns are blown, bells are rang and rose water is thrown. This is infact how Guru Nanak Dev Ji describes how the devte did pooja of Satguru Nanak when they came to this earth for the first time. You may ask the question "why do we not see this form of veneration in day to day Gurdwareh?" - well this was infact a day to day occurance within almost all Gurdwareh during pre-colonialisation and before the SGPC took over control of the Takhts from the original vanguards of the Takhts the Shiromani Panth Akali Budha Dal. However Aarti-Aarta in its puratan (traditional) form is still performed in Takht Sri Hazoor Sahib, and Panjwa Takht Shiromani Budha Dal till this day. *description continues in comments*
The often question that arises is "why is a thaal used if in the first shabad Guru Nanak Dev Ji states that the thaal is the cosmic plate and the sun and moon are the lamps?" But if we were to apply this same princible to the rest of the bani Maharaaj also says that the thoof is the 'beautiful sandlewood smelling air' so does this mean we should stop using thoof now too because Maharaaj has stated a different eay to view thoof, just as Maharaaj has described a different way to view the deeveh. Another common statement that is put foreward is why is thoof and deeveh used when we now have electricity. Deeveh are used to uphold the maryada of the Gurbani, if we again applied this same thinking to other factors then we may aswell start giving out smarties for parshaad as karah prashaad is infact a 17th century thing. Or how about we take away a chaur sahib and put mini fans around Satguru Granth Sahib Ji. Even better yet how about we take Maharaaj's saroop away and place an ipad in the middle with a pdf file, thats a 21st century way to do things or infact we could take away thoof and place bottles of febreeze around maharaajs thabiya. Thoof has been used for many centuries, it was used by the Moughal emperors and Hindu Hill Rajas to make them smell nice after a shower, it was a sign of royalty and king ship. Is Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaaj not royalty? Are they not worthy of such royal treatments? Till this day the Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa still perform Aarti Aarta to full maryada on all jorhmeleh and every night also, it is told within the Budha Dal Amritsanchars that aarti aarta is meant to be read straight after Sodar Rehras Sahib in the evenings. For those of you who havent yet experienced Aarti-Aarta find out when your next Nihang Singh program is and go along and see countless fauj singing the praises of Akaal Purkh and Satguru Nanaks creation.

It was prophecised by Ved Vyas and Patanjali Yogi that in the Kalyug Akaal Purakh will come in the form of Nanak and make his followers to recite WaheguruNot everyone agrees on this explanation because it tries to link us to the sanatan dharam and sikhi is worship of the Akaal purkh only. But Only he the Akaal purkh / Guru ji know the truth, what we do know is that we should recite/meditate on the Akaal purkh with the Gurmantar.
It is also said that when Guru Nanak Sahib did tap (meditation) Vaheguru Gurmantar was what they recited, we do know that in their tenth form Guru Gobind Singh ji gave us the sikh greeting Vaheguru ji ka khalsa, Vaheguru ji ki fateh and they have used vaheguru in their Gurbani too.
When the followers of Ved Vyas asked him that if u know that Parmeshwar will make his followers to recite Waheguru Mantra, why didn't u give us Waheguru Mantra to recite?
Then Rishi Ved Vyas said, "We don't have much kamai to revite the mantra."
Why do u have to question Bhai Gurdass Ji?
Remember, Bhai Gurdass Ji were the likhari of Kartarpur wali Bir.
Many mahapurakhs have said, "Ek veri Waheguru kehan naal Sikh da Chaaro Jugaan da Jaap ho janda ae."

ਰਖਵਾਯੋ ॥
[Nau Nidh speaking] "Oh Lord, you have created a new [religious] Path, you have created a new dress and have kept your Kesh [unshorn hair].
ਗੁਰੂ ਗਰੀਬ ਨਿਵਾਜ ਬਤਾਵਹੁ ! ॥ ਕਿਸ ਕਾਰਨ ਕਰਿ ਇਨਹੁਂ ਰਖਾਵਹੁ ?॥3॥
Guru Ji, helper of the poor, why have you kept Kesh as a part of your dress
?
ਸੁਨਿ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖ ਫੁਰਮਾਵਨਿ ਕਰਯੋ ॥ ਤੁਮ ਕੋ ਸ਼ਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਬਹੁਤ ਬਿਚਰ੍ਯੋ ॥
Hearing the words [of Nau Nidh], Guru Ji said, "You have studied many Shaastras"
ਪੜ੍ਹਨ ਸ਼੍ਰਵਨ ਮਹਿਂ ਬੈਸ ਬਿਤਾਈ ॥ ਇਹ ਗਤਿ ਲਖੀ ਕਿ ਨਹਿਂ ਤੁਮ ਪਾਈ ॥4॥
"You have spent your life listening and reciting the Shaastras, yet you have not come to realize the answer"
ਧਰਮ ਰਖਨਿ ਕੇਸ਼ਾਦਿਕ ਭਲੇ ॥ ਸਨਕਾਦਿਕ ਤੇ ਆਵਤਿ ਚਲੇ ॥
Adorning Kesh is beneficial to keeping one's Dharam, since the start of time this has been the tradition.
ਭਾਰਥ ਖੰਡ ਬਿਖੈ ਸ਼ੁਭ ਦੇਸ਼ ॥ ਕੇਸ਼ ਰਾਖਣੋ ਧਰਮ ਬਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼' ॥5॥
In the great land of Bharat [india], keeping Kesh is an exalted part of Dharam.
ਸੁਨਿ ਕੈ ਨਉਨਿਧ ਬਹੁਰ ਬਖਾਨਾ ॥ ਆਪ ਕਹਹੁ ਸਭਿ ਸਾਚ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਨਾ ॥
Listening to the answer, Nau Nidh replied, "what you have said is true.
ਪ੍ਰਥਮ ਕੇਸ਼ ਧਾਰੀ ਸਭਿ ਕੋਈ ॥ ਅਬਿ ਤੌ ਸਮਾ ਰਹ੍ਯੋ ਨਹਿਂ ਸੋਈ' ॥6॥
Everyone used to keep their Kesh, however times have changed."
ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਭਨ੍ਯੋ 'ਸਮਾ ਕ੍ਯਾ ਕਹੈ ॥ ਸੋ ਰਵਿ ਸੋ ਸਸਿ, ਸੋ ਜਲ ਅਹੈ ॥
ਬਾਯੂ, ਬੰਨੀ, ਬਸੁਧਾ ੳਈ ॥ ਦੋਸ਼ ਸਮੈ ਕੋ ਕ੍ਯਾ ਕਹਿ ਕੋਈ ॥7॥
Guru Ji replied, "How have times changed? The same sun remains, the same moon, water, wind, fire and Earth remain. How can you blame time?
ਆਪਨ ਆਪ ਕੋ ਦੋਸ਼ ਲਖੀਜੈ । ਰਾਖੇ ਜਾਇਂ ਨ, ਸਾਚ ਕਹੀਜੈ ॥
Blame yourself for not being able to keep Kesh, speak the truth Nau Nidh.
ਕੇਸ਼ ਰਖਨਿ ਕੀ ਸਮਰਥ ਹੀਨੇ ॥ ਦੋਸ਼ ਸਮੇਂ ਪਰ ਕਲਪਨ ਕੀਨੇ ॥8॥
You do not have the strength to keep Kesh so you dismissively blame the times for changing.
--------
ਰਚ੍ਯੋ ਸੁ ਈਸ਼ੁਰ ਮਾਨੁਖ ਦੇਹ ॥ ਕਰ੍ਯੋ ਸੁਭਾਇਮਾਨ ਛਬਿ ਗ੍ਰੇਹ ॥
The body is created by Eshvar [The Lord], He has created humans beautiful and respectful.
ਉੱਤਮਾਂਗ ਪਰ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਕਰੇ ॥ ਅਧਿਕ ਰੂਪ ਕੇਸ਼ਨ ਤੇ ਧਰੇ ॥40॥
Out of all parts of the body, the head is the highest, and adorning Kesh [unshorn hair] on top of one's head the body becomes beautiful.
This is only an excerpt from the passage, there is a portion which has not been included where Guru Gobind Singh Ji outlines how the tradition of keeping kesh has eroded in both Semitic and Eastern religions.

All the Lokpals, who have come into being, will ultimately be mashed by KAL.
ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਨ ਪਾਣ ਜੇ ਜਪੈ ॥ ਅਨੰਤ ਥਾਟ ਤੇ ਥਪੈ ॥
Those who meditate on the Supreme KAL, the wielder of the sword, they firmly adopt innumerable measures for protection.
ਜਿਤੇਕ ਕਾਲ ਧਯਾਇ ਹੈ ॥ ਜਗਤ ਜੀਤ ਜਾਇ ਹੈ ॥
Those who remember KAL, they conquer the world and depart.

There has to be a prescribed method for respect.
Applying blood-tilak, dhoof, other fragrances and cleaning the shastars has been a method of respect since many ages.
There is always a prescribed method for paying respect.
As for oue elders we are supposed to obey their orders.
Questioning, why do u have to obey them doesn't make any sense.
Shastar tilak has been going on since many ages and will continue to happen even if we don't exist.
Kintu-Parantu is not good at all, it might be good for wordly education but not for religious education.

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ki Fateh
Unless we understand what does Kali/Durga in Sikhi context stands for, we would keep on questioning everything even our history.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
It especially does not help when you see Hindus doing the same Jhatka and Hindus in Nepal anointing their newly made weapons from a recently killed animal. You do realize that this makes us look very close to Hindus, which Sikhism is not?
Sant Hardev Singh gave an example of Sant Jwala Singh Harkhowal - when a Sikh questioned why a coconut was placed in the presence of Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, he responded that when the Gurgaddi was passed on, it was done so with a coconut and 5 paise, hence the coconut being present. There was reason given and after hearing that, I would fully advocate for any Sikh to place a coconut (and heck, add 5 paise) in the hazoori of Guru Sahib. It would not be an empty ritual.
However, killing an animal for its blood to anoint Shastars does not have such an explanation provided, especially given the context that thousands of goats are slaughtered in the name of Sikhi, when blood could also be exacted in justice from the killers of Sikhs who roam free and are not even on the radar (and some directly complicit with) of those who would perform Chatka. If Chatka was to practice a killing blow, what are you practicing it for all this time and not implementing?
I fully appreciate that if one was to eat meat and did Chatka with Maryada (Chandi Di Vaar and killing blow on the last lines), fine. But why the blood on weapons? What is the reason?
Read Episode 66 of PANTH PRAKASH by Shaheed Ratan Singh Bhangu, it might clear things up.

Why they have to tilk di shastar???
Do the Shastar really need blood of animal???
Animal blood satisfy Shastar I thought satguru guru Gobind Singh ji took sword to protect innocent people against zulam (gau gareeb de rakheya karni)? If the sword really need blood nihang Singh should kill modi or some other criminals instead of innocent animals
My friend's dad started doing Chandi Di Vaar along with his Nitnem. One day after doing the paath while he wad putting the sword back into its myaan his finger got a cut and blood oozed out.
After some months (maybe two) the sword started shaking while he used to do the paath. So, uncle ji did an ardass in front of Chandi that it would be difficult to tilak the Shastar with blood although he would use nariyal's (coconut) water.
So when the Shastar used to shake nariyl's jal was applied.
This does not really mean that nariyal's water can be a goid alternative to blood. Living in a city it was really difficult for him to do jhatka so he did ardass and was ful-filled.
Rest is on the Shardha u have.

can you just do the 32 paath of brahmn kavach after nitnem without the items or its supposed to be done that specific way?
Paath done according to the prescribed rehat gives more phal than just reading it.

Bansavalinama written in 1769 CE by Kesar Singh Chibber also mentions the celebrating of Dusshera. Kesar Singh Ji writes:
ਦੁਸਹਰੇ ਦੇ ਦਿਨ ਪੂਜਾ ਸ਼ਸਤ੍ਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਕਰਨ । ਚੰਡੀਪਾਠ ਕੀਤਾ ਰਸਨਾ ਦਾ ਉਚਾਰਨ ।
On the days of Dusshera, worship your weapons. From your mouths you should recite the ballads of Chandi [Chandi Chritars and Chandi Di Vaar].
ਧੂਪ ਦੀਪ, ਪੁਸ਼ਪ, ਬਹੁਤ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੁਗੰਧਿ । ਕੇਸਰ, ਚੰਦਨ, ਚਉਰ ਝੁਲੰਤ ।੩੯੦।
[Worship your weapons by using] lots of Incense, Gee-lamps, flowers and nice fragrances. [use] Saffron, Sandalwood and a Wisk to wave [above your weapons].

Babaji, I didn't refer anybody as a fool here.
Please read my post again, I just said that why do u have to question Bhai Gurdas Ji?
If it did hurt u, I'm sorry.
Sanatanism is not always wrong babaji, Sikhs have linjs to vedant and that is why u would find great Mahapurakhs giving examples from Vedant and Shastras.
