I tottaly agree. Shri Guru granth sahib ji maharaj is more then just japji sahib. We do japji sahib daily in the mourning. what is it gonna matter if we do it 1300 times. We should learn listen and UNDERSTAND!!!!! im stressing understand really much because gurbani is our path. If we apply what guru maharaj is saying it will only benifet us. My belief is that we should learn and understand bani rather then just doing 1300 japji sahib paths before the slotted date. Im not stopping you from doing it but this is my belief.

Veer Ji, I am confused, I believe that if i do paath it will benefit me only, by me prasing God how can I donate that?????? I also believe that number is useless, if I do the Jap Ji Sahib once with my heart into it, it can not be compared to somone doing Jap Ji sahib 500 times like a duty. Number does not matter. It is a common Hindu belief that the more time you repeat the paath the more you will benefit, and also Brahamins do paath to benefit others.

I am truly sorry if I have offended anyone, but these are my ture beliefs.

Btw, there is a big difference if you are doing paath infront of them like, kirtan, becuase you are giving them bliss.

actually many ppl through our history have done paath for others and had their ardases for others heard.... in ardas why do we say SARBAT DA BHALLA? isnt that ardas for the world... not just ourselves? so that in itself shows u c an do paath and ardas for others... also dont u know that sakhi where the bibi who had a high avastha was walking and she saw a suffering animal and she did ardas for her to get out of pain, once she did ardas she felt as if she lost something, the animal got better but her avastha dropped because she 'gave it away' to the animal. guru ji than explained to her why this happened.

and although u need to do paath with ur whole heart and mind in it, u are fooling urself if u think u can do that over nite.... the way to get to that stage is to work up to it, to build ur concentration and dedication.... how do u do this? you set goals eg. today i will do 5 japji sahibs, 2moromw i will do 10 jap ji sahibs... today i wil do naam simran with full conecntration for 10 min, 2morow i will for 20 min.... u have to set number goals in order to improve.... until u have any sort of avastha built up counting paaths is very useful... this will eventually enable u to do paath with full concentration... but if u thin u cna get full concentration for a full jap ji sahib, where u contemplate every single tuk and meditate on it and put it in ur heart, say it with ur mouth, and absorb it with ur ears just like that,, ur kidding urself...

Veer Ji, I understand the ardas because we are praying for others to God, but when prasining God, it neither benefits God nor other people, it just builds the love for God in you.

As for the number in doing paath, it seems like we are running laps for a fundraiser, I believe, remember this is just my belief, that if you concentrate hard enought prasing God with one word, it cant not be compared to saying that one word millions of times like a duty.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
