singhni wannabe

Giani Harbhajan Singh Chaminda and myself expressed our desire for partaking Amrit. Bhai Sahib said, "Well, take full bath and be present before the Akhand Path starts and listen to whole of the recitation." We did as instructed. After Bhog of Akhand Path, keertan of Asa di Vaar was over by about 10.00 a.m. Panj Piyaras assembled in a room in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib for initiating new Khalsas. Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Jee, Bhai Attar Singh Jee, Bhai Surjan Singh Jee Gujarwal, Bhai Parbhakar Singh Jee Lalton and a Singh Jee from Phallewal served as Panj Piyaras, and Jathedar Ram Singh Jee was in attendance to Sri Guru Granth Sahib. First Giani Harbhajan Singh appeared before Panj Piyaras. He was asked whether he was married or not to which he replied that he was married. He was asked if his wife is also with him and ready to partake Amrit. To which he replied that he has come alone. At this point he was told that both, he and his wife, should be present together. He alone cannot be administered Amrit. Bhai Harbhajan Singh came out very dejected and weeping, he went straight to a manger (Khurli) in the courtyard, threw himself in it and started wailing uncontrollably. I tried to console him and find out the reason for his grief but he could not utter a word. Then the Panj Piyaras called me; I went inside, bowed before the Guru and stood up with folded hands. Thus proceeded questions and answers about my marital status: "Are you married or not?" "I am married." "Then you can not be administered Amrit in the absence of your wife." "It means that if my wife does not agree to partake Amrit I will have to die without coming under the umbrage of Guru. I do not need a wife I need Amrit. Please find a way to administer Amrit to me." "You will have to pledge in the presence of Panj Piyaras and Guru that unless your wife partakes Amrit and she is married to you as per Gurmat traditions by performing Anand Karaj, you will not consider her as your wife." As I had married as per Hindu rites. I agreed to this condition. Bhai Sahib again said, "The pledge you are going to take before the Guru is difficult to keep. Give a second thought to it." I thought for a moment and replied, "I consider Panj Piyaras as living image of omnipresent Guru. When in the presence of Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the living image of the Guru, Panj Piyaras bless me then I will be able to face any difficult situation and all problems would be solved." "All right bow before the Guru, you will be administered Amrit." I was very much attached with Giani Harbhajan Singh. I requested on his behalf, "Harbhajan Singh is very upset. He is weeping and wailing and can not be consoled. Please consider him also under similar condition." My plea was accepted and he was called in again. We were provided with yellow under turban (keski) and blue black outer turban. Each one of us was also given a chakar to wear with the turban. We got ready after putting on these things. My turn to partake Amrit came first. After administering Amrit to me, Naam was given on hearing which, I felt a cool stream flooding my body; and a white light spread throughout my body by hearing Naam only once. I was asked to bow before the Guru, which I did. After that I slipped into mystic abstraction and lost consciousness of my surroundings. I do not know who helped me aside to make place for administering Amrit to Giani Harbhajan Singh. He also had the similar experience as in my case. I was doing Simran with all my power. I was not aware of anything else than Naam. I do not how much time elapsed before we (Giani Harbhajan Singh and myself) became aware of our surroundings. After taking some food we moved towards the Dhab of Male-ana (a small lake) on the boundary of Gujarwal and Narangwal. At this place Bhai Sahib had spent many days and nights meditating and doing uninterrupted, undisturbed Naam Simran. All the way I kept on observing a circular disc of light in front of my face. On reaching the Dhab, Bhai Sahib got busy in Naam Simran went into Samadhi (mystic abstraction). Giani Harbhajan Singh and myself went to sleep. After some time we both woke up and had shock of our life as we observed our feet were missing from our bodies. Bhai Sahib was still in Samadhi. We told Bhai Attar Singh about our predicament. He told us not to worry and said that our feet are in the heart of Bhai Sahib. He performed Ardaas and our feet were again attached to our bodies. Bhai Sahib broke his Samadhi and led us, in the same intoxicated state, to his house at Narangwal. We returned to our school at Ludhiana next day.

The Immediate Effect of an Akhand Paath and Amrit Smaagam I received amrit in 1911 at village Fulayvaal in Ludhiana, at the home of a Singh. This individual’s whole body was stiff due to some disease and he couldn’t move at all. He had grown weary of trying to get some medical cure and still he could find not relief. Due to the encouragement of a Singh in the Jatha, he expressed the desire that if his sickness would be cured, he would organize and akhand paath saahib and secondly, he along with his family would become amritdhaaree. Because of this, Bhai Saahib and the entire jathaa arrived and the akhaand paath saahib commenced. The whole story can be found in the book Ranglay Sajjan (Baba Ram Singh). The result of the Akhand Paath Saahib was that at the middle of the paath, this individual was lifted up by two Singhs and stood for the entire ardaas. By the end of the Akhand Paath Saahib, the entire family was ready to accept amrit. Bhai Sahib Bhai Randheer Singh jee himself was in the punj pyaaray. The Amrit Sinchaar took place and the entire family received amrit and I too received amrit at this time. Immediately after receiving amrit, the disease was gone and the Singh could walk about easily. My spiritual state was seen by the punj pyaaray and cannot be described in words. For the next fifteen days, I stayed in a state of ecstasy. Punishments from Home My father, upon seeing my state, became very angry. My family and all relatives were Kukeh and were all upset with me. Right away they began to deal with me firmly. My Naamdhaaree relatives also arrived and they all tied me to a pillar. After seven days, while I was still tied up, they beat me. The stick they were using hit the gutkaa I was holding in my hand. As a result (punishment) my father came down with a fever. In the end they had to release me. The Reason Behind Getting Ras Right after my release, I went to Narangvaal to Bhai Saahib and told him all that had happened. Bhai Saahib was very happy and said, “It’s good you came”. I asked Bhai Saahib “for fifteen days, the intoxication of naam was over me, but now why has it lifted?” Bhai Saahib replied: “That ras which you have enjoyed up to now was the punj pyaaray’s own naam earnings. Now you too must go in a peaceful area and earn the profit of naam abhyaas. More Amazing Incidents from Akhand Paaths and Amrit Sinchaars 1) Once the date for an Akhand Paath was set for the house of Bhai Ram Singh Jathedaar in Gurjarvaal. Here, Giani Daleep singh jee Fulayvaal and Giani Harbhajan Singh jee village Chiminday arrived for the akhand paath saahib. When Bhai Saahib found out that both Singhs want to receive amrit, an amrit sinchaar was organised immediately after the akhand paath saahib. Keertan began at amrit vela. After the keertan, the akhand paath started. Both Singhs sat in Guru Saahib’s presence and began to listen to the akhand paath. They would only leave to go to the bathroom or bathe. The rest of the time was spent listening. After the bhog of the akhnd paath, Aasaa dee Vaar keertan took place and after, the water in the amrit-kunbh (clay jug) was used for the amrit sinchaar. The spiritual colours that coloured these two are beyond description. Right after receiving amrit, their eyes were mesmerized. I was also serving in the Punj Pyaaray. The state of Bhai Saahib and the two bhajhungees cannot be described. Giani Daleep Singh remained like this for many days. Whoever saw these Singhs became entranced. After that, Giani Daleep Singh jee accompanied Bhai Saahib jee to Narangvaal. Here too they spent all their time in Naam. Every day they would go to the dhaab and spend the entire night there. I too would come from Gujarvaal to the dhaab.

i dont think it is my understading that is the problem, it is your phrasing. if i said, "there is no such thing as green" you would say, "dont be stupid!" but if i said, there is no such thing as green tigers, then you would know what i meant. so in the future make sure what you say makes sense so as not to say something that is rather stupid.

hmmmm you have read anand sahib right?

KHALSA CAMP! :D :D

rather an offensive poem i see slander is a good thing then in most peoples eyes? in fact, people who have used such abusive language in the past on this board have been put on moderation, so why is this post receiving praise? why not put the poster under moderation? btw jus in case you didnt know, gurbani clearly says slander is not a good thing.

"If you start reciting the prayer of Chandi di Vaar after sunset then, one must keep reciting it continuously through the night until dawn. Two or more Singhs may take turns to recite this prayer through the night, it is all right to do so. One must sit upon a clean mat or bed, bathing before reciting the prayer. An oil lamp lit with clarified butter should be kept alight throughout the night. During the day, one can recite Chandi di Vaar as many times as one wants. " im confused why you keep highlighting the point that singhs recite chandi dee vaar in the daytime, no one is saying that you cant recite it at daytime

yeah a lot of people speak like this bana on the inside, or bana of humiltlity and such i am talkin about bana, as in dress attire, this is what this topic is about. unless you can wear a patka with humility? full khalsa bana (what you wear/clothes/uniform) includes a dastaar bana is a rehit, all rehits need to be backed up by baani and naam. rehit and naam/gurbani, go hand in hand if someone does bani all day but doesnt keep basic rehit of keeping kesh, not eating meat, his kamaee is negated if someone keeps all sorts of rehit, but doesnt do naam or banee kamaee then the essence of him keeping rehit is lost

is there a reason (apart from sant xyz said so) why the specefic bani chandi dee vaar, cannot be recited at night, unless it is done so all night? and why the chaddar has to be white? and why there has to be a jyot? also people have recited chandi dee vaar at night, and not read it all through the night, and nothing has happened to them? it doesnt make sense, why a specific bani, is not allowed to be read at night, unless read all night? surely reading bani, how ever many times is a good thing?

the point of wearing bana is to wear the uniform of the khalsa the uniform of a khalsa includes a dastaar. a patka has nothing to do with khalsa, it is a modern thing and is not a keski to be in full bana, a dastaar is compulsory. just like you wouldnt go out with just pyjame and no chola on top. cuteness has nothing to do with bana

loads of "sikhs" do beadbi to their kesh, by bleaching, plucking, waxing, everyday. But because they keep a dastaar on, and have the outwards appearnce of a sikh, nothing is said.intentionaly removing ANY hair from ANY place on the body, is a bujjar kurehit

anyone got recordings?

doesnt crash for me

your post would be much better if you just left the gurbani and deleted your paragraph of writing at the start. you seem to have taken an offensive style of writing recently "here will be enough rotten heads who are going to think "

if ur viewing a shabad in lareevaar, is there like a quick way you can click on somet to see the pad ched, like instantly? like before, there was a website, and if you put your mouse over the lareevar it became padched?

School isn't gurmat. Why go there when you can be home jaaping naam? school is your kirat kamaee until u got a job. school is necessary so u can get a good job and live a grihstee jeevan as well as giving dasvandh. so school is gurmat. instead of just looking for an argument, why dont you read the guys first post and reply accordingly, that kind of atmosphere, (alcohol dancing) is not an atmosphere for a gursikh, and WILL have a negative effect on naam and gurbani abyaas if you want to look for loopholes out of everything, then be a lawyer

dont go gurmat comes first tell your family in a respecatble manner, that you will not be able to attend, and inform them why, if they refuse to listen, then just dont go.

why does everyone always say "dont judge me, dont judge this, judge judge judge, bla bla bla" its getting annoying, people who do manmat things try to cover it up, by saying that every1 hu tells them that the thing is wrong, is "judging" them, and thats reaaly baddd of them 8-) gurbani tells us to stay away from sangat of manmukhs and do sangat of gurmukhs, how do we do this without "judging" whos gurmukh and hus manmukh? judging is fine, if you judge people by GURMAT and not by your OWN MAT. if you use gurbani and teachings of guru to judge actions then you cant go wrong, dont judge the person, judge the action. the action of someone determines whether they are gurmukh or manmukh. or goin in tht direction. doing your eyebrows is WRONG huever the person is that does it. if guru sahib says do not remove kes, then DO NOT REMOVE KES, theres no other way around it baba amarjeet singh

kar kirpa tis sang milavai

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh It is true that sikhism teaches we are all equal and originate from same God however by marrying people in other faiths causes problems such as after marriage following other religions so other forms of worship which maharaj teaches is wrong as we should only be worshipping Vaheguru. This is what happened with the girl who married a hindu caled amanpreet. Marryin into anotha religion is usually becuase you have "fell in love" with that person this is why arranged marriages happen in which case its sikhs marrying other sikhs. Sorry if i have offended any1! Vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

Vaheguroo ji ka khalsa vaheguroo ji ki fateh I agree with Heera i wouldnt care however i think my parents would and as most sikhs have arranged marriages its usually up to the parents and if they find out a person hasnt gt a very good education they won't consider them for their child. I think however it should b more about the persons sikhi than their education. But thats just my opinion! :cool: Vaheguroo ji ka khalsa vaheguroo ji ki fateh
