VJKK VJKF Sangat Ji, as Sikhs we are not kill animals and hurt others but why do we wear shoes of leather and have tablas made of goat skin being used in Gurudwaras today? Is this okay or paakhandi? Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Sangat Ji, I was reading Se Kineya and many times Baba Ji (in response to someone coming to them and asking for something they needed help with) would say something along the lines of "Go into the presence of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and do ardaas with full faith and then make karah parshaad and offer it to Guru Ji and the sangat and your wish will be fulfilled". Why is the parshad being made so instrumental in granting a desire? I'm also reading the Damdami Taksaal Rehat and they too make Karah Parshad when someone comes to admit their cardinal sin. Why is this and what is the significance of Karah Parshad? Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF That's beautiful. Maharaj Kirpa. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Sangat Ji, I have a question. In the Ardaas it is mentioned that if you "simar" (meaning to remember or like simran itself; to repeat over and over) Teg Bahudar then you will get Nau Nidh. Or if you bring your mind to Har Krishan (for me again, it means to do simran on them) then all your pain will vanish. Is this true or is there another meaning to this that I'm missing? Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF I'll most likely do the same. Thank you for helping penji. I've never met any baba Ji or mahapurakh or anything to that effect before so it'll be an experience nonetheless. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF I wasn't expecting a miracle or anything I was just asking so I knew a bit more about them. I'm going to ask for advice but I'm not asking to change my life anything - I just want some sikhyia or anything I can do help me move forward. I asked if they were a mahapurakh because I thought everyone who was called baba was a mahapurakh so I was just clearing that up. Thank you anyway Ji. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Does anyone know much about Sant Baba Amar Singh Ji? Are they a mahapurakh? I heard they did a lot of sewa of Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji? Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF I don't know about anyone else but it's 2017 and we aren't dead yet! Looks like Maharaj is doing kirpa! Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF You smashed it man. Maharaj did beant kirpa! May Maharaj bless us all like this! Stay strong Singh, the road just started getting bumpy! You'll be fine. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF This is a beautiful message. I'm working towards this now. I'm 17 right now and by 18 my life (Maharaj kirpa) hopefully will be dedicated towards this very cause. The next 50 years is as much a job as it is for the panth but for each individual person. I'm ready to make all the kurbani and all the steps needed! I'm ready to walk with you! Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Sangat Ji, just an update it's getting worse than before now. At one point, my mum literally just sat in the car and was like "I'm done with life" and she just wouldn't move the car. I don't know what to do anymore - I can't even communicate with my family now because they try to stop me from this path and when they talk to me about it they can't speak to me about stopping me from sikhi because my family obviously isn't it to sikhi and myself Maharaj has blessed daas with this daath. Long story short, I'm going to see a Sant Ji (Maharaj kirpa) on Thursday and hopefully they can help me with something that will bring peace to this family. Does anyone have any tips on anything I can do now - I've literally exhausted all my options? Does Sant bachan ever fail - I've heard a few people haven't got what they asked for and it wasn't anything that would be deemed wrong as such? Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Your last line means nothing - you do have pyaar for Maharaj. You're not doing bani and simran because you hate Maharaj? You're doing it because you love him and that he wrote his pavitaar bani for his Singhs and singhnis to read everyday and contemplate him. You have the most beautiful gift one can recieve - Amrit. You have nothing to worry about. Believe me I am going through a similar thing to you in a dissimilar way. Personally, I've learn this is all just a MASSIVE test. Everyday of your life is a test. He makes you sad, depressed, suicidal, happy, elated, blissful, monotone, scared, fearless all day everyday. Why? Because he wants to know if his sikh is a true sikh. If his sikh stands in the middle of the storm when no-one else is and doesnt see any of these problems as a problem but a blessing. Blessing in the way that this is your chance to prove to him that no matter what he throws at you to will take it with both hands no matter what the consequences are to you and you will move towards him with everything you've got left. He wants to see if you really do love him and can keep getting closer and closer to him when he seems to you hat he's moving further and further away. It's from these tests he knows the type of sikh we are and you have the biggest blessing to show him you are the true, strong, loving sikh towards him that he wants. He wants you to learn and make a change in your life to get stronger but the main thing is - we do even more paath and simran. This could be Maharaj telling you indirectly "Sikh, this is the next stage of your sikhi no so increase your nitnem." Or "Sikh, it's time to see whether this Amrit has made you my true form in the Khalsa and if not then let this be the beginning of the process there". He won't chuck anything at you that he doesn't think you can cope with or learn from and you will move on from this. Do ardaas but you MUST keep your rehat strong and do more bani/simran. Even if it's more ardaas and An extra Japji Sahib or Chaupai Sahib. Anything just take a step towards him and he'll take a million towards you. If you need anything please message me or just post here again. I'm sorry for this reply I don't think I could really get my point across well but you may have got some help from the work Maharaj has created here. Maharaj kirpa. Hope this helps ji. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Eventually with so much naam/bani you can get your mind to such a higher consciousness that you don't even need to sleep anymore. Happens to many mahapurakhs. Maharaj doesn't say you NEED to sleep but they do say that if you call yourself a Sikh of the guru then wake up at Amritvela (or stay awake because you don't need to be sleeping but you definitely need to be up at Amritvela to do simran/paath) and jaap naam. Hope that helps Ji. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Personally, because you do Naam you already have a barrier against these negative spirits so don't be worried about them. Maybe it's just hukam and you gotta just ride the wave. It might be that Maharaj bought this incident into your life for you to come on here and write your experience and look for an answer but you end up finding another conversation about bani or naam and then start implementing that into your life. We don't know the game Maharaj plays but it's beautiful and infinite. Carry on the bhagti. Hope that helps Ji. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Personally I don't always understand them but sometimes it's good. Maybe it's just my lack of knowledge. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF It might seem hard but you'll be surprised how many love married couples have problems. Maharaj put you with this person for a reason - he doesn't make mistakes. It maybe that he's making you pay for past karma or it maybe that this person is helping you in ways you don't understand yet - e.g controlling some of your panj Chor through love. Stay strong and increase your nitnem and things will get better on your inside. Hopefully this helps Ji. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF 1) What's tankiyah? 2) Personally I think that's so crazy people took and broke Amrit 10 ten times wow.

VJKK VJKF I've tried reading Japji Sahib quite fast and I'm reading a lot more Japji Sahib now but is it wrong that I read more and sometimes my mind wanders for a few seconds at a time? It wasn't so bad at the beginning but as I started doing more my brain became more tired so I would still only wander for a few seconds but just it would happen more times whilst reading Japji Sahib. Any help as to if this is okay - is it okay that my mind wanders but I try to bring it back even though I think my mind wandering isn't totally caused by reading fast's. I think it's that I got really tired as I was coming towards to the end of my set goal so my mind waiver more but I was reading fast anyway so it just seemed twice as worse. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF That's mental. Sikhi proving science every single day. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Sangat Ji, I would love to start to do Kirtan at kathas I attend. Does anyone know the best place to learn? Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Sangat Ji, I want to start taking hukamnamas but I don't know how to take one from the Gurudwara. Can anyone help or talk me through what to do? Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF If anyone finds about any mahapurakhs coming to the country or around the area make sure to let us know! Definitely could do with some sant bachan advice. Maharaj kirpa. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Maharaj Kirpa. I hope he's well now. How did your father find out about the mahapurakh? I myself would be honoured to have darshan of a mahapurakh. Vaheguru Ji.

VJKK VJKF Does anyone have any really cool stories of any sants or mahapurakhs? I'll share one I know and many of you have probably heard his already. I believe it was Bibi Preetam Kaur who was telling this story. Their job was to make food for the jatha and all the Singhs in the jatha as they were part of Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindrawale's jatha. Sant Ji would always only have one parshada and they would always eat with the Singhs in the langar hall. One day, Bibi Ji requested her husband (who was also in the jatha) to ask Sant Ji and their Singhs to come and have their parshade in her own room, where Sant Ji would sit on the bed and Bibi Ji would make the roti fresh there and then and feed them to Sant Ji. Her husband refused (I can't remember the reason but it was along the lines of are you mad?). But Bibi Ji still made dhal/sabhji and had fresh ataa made for Sant Ji. Now Sant Ji's room was about 4 floors higher than Bibi Ji's room, and the langar hall was 4 floors higher than Bibi Ji's room. The same day (or the next), Sant Ji said "Singhon it's time to eat. Let's go." Of course, Sant bachan and now sant Ji had said it was time to eat then it was time to eat. However, as Sant Ji was walking they went down 2 floors and walked straight past the langar hall, down 2 more floors and walked straight into Bibi Ji's room and said "Preetam Kaur, make us all parshadas". Bibi Ji said they couldn't believe what had just happened and more interestingly that day Sant Ji had not one but three parshadas. Bibi Ji then said to her husband "I thought you didn't tell Sant Ji to come and have parshadas" and he confirmed "I didn't tell him... how did he know?" Power of a Sant is beant because when that daas merges with Maharaj there is no difference. If anyone has anymore cool stories make sure you drop them here! Vaheguru Ji.
