you can not argue with the truth, feel so alone sometimes 

If I ever feel alone I like to think my guru is with me patting me on my back like a father.

Another reason why people may not come to sikhi is because of politics. Khalisastain and dasam granth. People do not want to argue.

Most people really can't do anything. We can just do ardas.

 

Hopefully Someone has been motivated about this but daas has a benti. Show respect to your gutka sahibs. I saw a photo where they just threw a gutka sahib in cabinet and showed 0 respect. That gutka sahib is guru ji. Treat the gutka sahib with respect.

I feel like peoples faith is fading because people can't go to the gurdwara and be with the sangat. I was losing  my faith in sikhism years ago because I was not doing nitnem. I watched some basics of sikhi videos and I got motivated to read nitnem again. I did some naam simrin and it changed me and from that day I have always done nitnem. We need to bring peole to the gurdwara and do naam simrin with them but do to covid not many people would go to the gurdwara. We need some online parchar like get basics of sikhi out there more. One like and a comment can reccomend the video to someone new. And when covid is gone we need to do lots of parchar.

I have learned this from listening to katha of Giani Thunka Singh Ji and from the time I spent at budha dal.

Which historical granth has this maryada around Chandi di vaar?  Or is it written elsewhere?  I think, basing what I learned from Gurbani about reading Gurbani anytime and whether standing or sitting,  chandi di vaar may be read at anytime or while sitting. 

What is a sunset and day light to a person who is blind?  They are in total darkness all day.  Will they be punished for starting to listen to chandi di Vaar/Shabad Guru/Gurbani?  

There is this sakhi about reading chandi di vaar at night. 

Baba Ji would also do Chandi Di Vaar in his Nitnem every day. But a

 

question arose in his mind. When should this Baani be recited and

 

how often? He would often wonder. He asked many religious and

 

saintly people but nobody really gave a firm answer. One day, while

 

in the hut, he began reciting Rahiraas Sahib after which he did

 

Chandi Di Vaar. He then finished off with Sohilaa and was preparing

 

to go to sleep. The moon was shining outside and the door to the

 

hut was open. He had just lay down when all of a sudden, he saw

 

two men approaching from a distance. Baba ji thought to himself that

 

if they are travellers then he will provide them with food and

 

clothes and offer them a place to rest for the night. But if they

 

are robbers, he will be prepared to confront them. While he was

 

still thinking they both pinned him to the ground.

 

One held him down from the head and the other from the feet. They

 

couldn't be travellers or robbers because they arrived at such

 

incredible speed. They were Shaheed (martyred) Singhs. He began

 

doing Mool Mantr Jaap. He had just completed two Mool Mantrs when

 

the Singhs released him. He sat up. The Shaheed Singhs explained to

 

him that they didn't come to hurt him.. They came to remove his

 

doubt and confusion about the recitation of Chandi Di Vaar and when to

 

do it, how much to do and how to do it. It was the fact that he

 

thought that he would confront them that they wrestled him to the ground.

 

They explained that if Chandi Di Vaar is recited after the sunset,

 

then it must be continued all night non-stop. It is alright for two

 

or more Singhs to do it in turn. If an individual can recite it all

 

night then that is alright as well. A clean cloth should be spread

 

underneath where you're sitting and you must have your bath first.

 

An oil lamp (dhesi ghior dee joth) should be lit.

 

There are no strict rules about reciting in the day time. Whether it

is recited one or more times, it should be done with love and

 

affection. After saying this, they left the hut and then suddenly

 

disappeared.
