  1. Singhs in the jungle

    Puratan Nishan Sahib with the Ashtbhuja. Singh in the middle could possibly be Jathedar Akali Baba Nawab Kapoor Singh 96 Crori.

    Some Teer and kaman action.  Singh looks to be wearing chain mail

    In the past I've made a tea from the ingredients of sukha nidhaan i.e. boiling a few small green lachis, saunf, cinnamon stick, javentry, black pepper, cloves and a few sukha leaves and for 20 minutes. You are right in that it doesn't buzz you all over the shop. 

     

    I found it really good as an anti-stress, anti-inflammatory, relaxant. Also, seems really good for nerve pain.

     

    Do you know how long the nihangs raggarh it? And what prayers they might recite when they do it? 

     

    PS- I also found pasted poppy seeds (in a mortar and pestle) boiled with milk and with some black pepper and keeo to be a very subtle but potent relaxant. 

     

    PS - some of those ingredients actually inhibit some of the intoxicating effects of sukha (i.e. cloves and black pepper), so it's more thought out than some might imagine. 

    I believe it may be anywhere in the ball park between 20-30 minutes. Basically you wanna slowly continue adding water until it kinda gets a sweet spot between pasty and dry. So you raggarh, add a little water, raggarh and so on. I can double check, but I think they read any type of  bir ras bani.

     

     

    Some people opt to put all the ingredients in at one time and others (like the video above) add it as they go along.

    Lucky you!

    That makes good sense. I thought that it might hamper physical coordination in battle, but in small doses it probably wouldn't.  

    Yeah you would think you'd get all lazy but not at all. I honestly didn't feel anything other than internal calmness and focus. I believe the original maryada is to put 5 leaves but some people go a little overboard. It tastes like a desi milkshake only with a cannabis aftertaste. Pretty easy to make, you should try it out.

    Anyway, I've always wondered about the use of bhang in war. Cannabis is usually associated with feelings of peace and relaxation - hardly what you'd want if on the frontline of violent battle. 

    I recently come across this extract from the memoir of someone (Joseph Thackwell) who fought in the second Sikh-anglo jungh. It's one of the first references I've come across which explicitly records an example of the use of cannabis in war by a Sikh:

    I have actually had the opportunity to drink Degh with Nihangs. I felt relaxed, calm, and kinda focused. It kills that anxiety knot-like feeling you get in your stomach. Because of this, I always thought of it as a way to calm your  nerves before battle. Imagine preparing yourself to launch an attack against some Mughal, Afghan, or some other adversary. The anticipation, unless you're at a high level of bhakti, will get to anyone. Your heart would probably be beating out of your chest, some may even shake and feel jumpy. Drinking Degh essentially eliminates that feeling completely and allows you to focus in on the task at hand.

    I relapsed today but I tried what I could. I am doing panj baniya in the morning now and my faith is getting stronger.

    I thank you guys for giving support when I needed the most. Hopefully if I keep my rehit for a few more months I will take amrit on vasakhi.

    Hey bro, 

    Don't let yourself get down. Relapse and learning is all apart of the process.  Implementing your bani really helps, trust me. Remember to keep reminding yourself after each ardas. 

  6. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter all that much. However, it honestly depends on where your views align if you're looking at this from a jathebandi perspective. My personal beliefs cause me to align more with Dal Panth/Hazur Sahib Maryada, so I naturally gravitate towards them. Also, these Singhs don't shorten the bani so I would go with them. The Taksal would also be a great place as well.

    Mani Singh was no different. He used to disappear for months in order to meditate (smaadhi launi) but in reality went to his hidden home where he became cleanshaven (beard and hair) and then indulge in all kind of degenerate activities, including homosexual relations. You can notice that he always kept his face hidden with a clothe in his later years, in order to hide the regrowth of his beard when he got back in Sangat to fool them. In every pic he has a different beard size.
    He is said to have died from a disease contracted during one of these escapades.

     

    I've only recently heard about these stories. We have people claiming they knew Singhs who were with them during that period. 

  8. Best way is to start doing your nitnem (this includes Rehras, aarti, and kirtan sohila)  and getting up for amritvela. Afterwards, do ardas and tell Maharaj "I will stay away from this stuff, only through your kirpa and daya." This ardas should be done after every nitnem or simran session as it is a constant reminder because you're doing it multiple times in the day.
