Yea I agree with Daly...DON'T BURN GURBANI!!

When they agni-bhet Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji after a time period of 100 years, they have a different way of doing it, but this is a controversial issue, whether to agni-bhet gurbani or not.

It all depends on how much love you have for gurbani and you Guru. I personally would never burn gurbani, even if I don't have space I'll throw away something I paid for and put bani there instead. AND I WOULD CONDEMN ANYONE TO DO IT AS WELL.

Gurbani is eternal, its God's word, which is priceless, and should be kept in a high place, so unless you know the way to "dispose" of Gurbani, I highly recommend you not do anything. And get all the gurbani on watever paper you have on and put all the papers in a binder and store em someplace.

Bhul chuk maaf karnee

i asked a friend of mine.. he told me its not the paper.. but the knowledge.. burning a paper doesnt contaminate/disrespect the knowledge contained..

plus God is around us.. its an omnipresent force.. even burning has God's physics involved

lol, then what about Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji?

Its all paper too right, and you don't just dispose of Gurbani like that, I understand the universal idea behind all of it. But something that we see, and feel, we should respect, not treat it like some writing on a piece of paper. THAT'S BAY-ADBI (disrespect)!!

You have to understand the essence of why we respect bani. And why our Gurus said we SHOULD respect gurbani.

Say you have a book right, and it has gurbani on it, you can't put it near your feet, you have to put it someplace high, because it deserves respect, gurbani on any piece of paper, is bani and needs to be respected.

Lets see at the first place why you want to "dispose" of these papers with Gurbani on em, you reason is that you don't have room for it? C'mon man, its your Guru's words...Now you say that it should be in your heart and paper doesn't count.

Ok, for all the papers you have that have gurbani on them, if you know the shabads by heart, know their meanings, and apply them to your life everyday (or when needed). Then by all means, respectfully "dispose" of those papers. If you don't know it, and cant apply to your life, then those papers should be a reminder to you, everyday of what to do, and what your guru says.

Sorry for the long response, and any bhul chuk.

You do Antam Sanskar.Bani of Guru is Guru's Ang, so when the Ang is worn out you can do Antam Sanskar.When you place in fire, say "Vahiguru, I give back your Bani to you.Thank you Vahiguru" or something similar.You are doing Antam Sanskar.

What my mother does is she puts bits of bani (from wedding invites etc) into water until it dissolves away.She then pours the water onto earth.

      All Gurdware should be like this

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room.

      Self care of hair

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.

      Nidar Singh Nihang X The Ranveer show podcast

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

      Why are starched turbans hated?

      Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?

      30th May over 6th June?

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
