Guest A Singh.

"Preet82" if this theory was true then surely all those who practised fast Simran or attended Rainsabai's, would live shorter lives then others? Quite to the contrary I have seen many members of the Akhand Keertanee Jatha live till very old ages so I think that this is an extremely silly comment to make.

I would not suggest that those who have not received Saas Giraas Jugti attempt to copy it. If one has not received Jugti they may indeed question why others are doing it how they are, or if the Gurmantar is not being pronounced properly. This is where the misunderstanding has come from. For those who have received Jugti there should be no problem. Even when the Keertan is of a fast tempo it is perfectly easy to do Saas Giraas Simran with full concentration - and it is certainly NOT conducive to "Bir Rass" as one person has tried to mention.

Bauji writes that there's simran constantly going on.. it's up to humans to do the right simran.

simran is a word that has a definition... the definition being one-mindedness, pointed thought, devoted thoughts, controlled in one area... simran hundi ah jadon man nu khush cheez tay dhiyaundaa...

there's

1) maikee (pronounced mikey) simran... which means maya di simran... getting involved and focussing on maya

and

2) aatmik simran... which is what we need to aim to do

Bauji's written a lot of vichaar on simran... lemme know if you'd like a copy and i'll try to get you one

Who is 'Bauji' Japnam Singh?

I personally don't enjoy AKJ style, since I think Simran should relax you, and be soothing and slow, but if AKJ simran makes you happy, and gives your internal peace - go for it...

In my opinion, Kirtan on the other hand, should ideally be done solely in the Raag perscribded by the Guru.

Sat Sri Akal:

"why is that????? is it from the chontai and shanai???? all the bells and stuff??? "

Kirtan and the way it is sung has profound effects on the body. Some Kirtan and Simran is so deep, mellow and engaging that a person's body literally becomes still and almost immovable...the mind remains deeply focused on the Kirtan and forgets the body. Some Kirtan and Simran is so Chardi Kalaa and high energy, the body reacts with movement because the Kirtan or Simran has that much energy.

It is different expressions of Divine Ecstasy or Anand.

Akj simran gives me headache/wreck, does that mean all the sikhs get headache by listening akj simran ? umm probably not...if it rocks your boat, sure thing, fully dissolve in it. ..just try it see if you find it your thing or you can attuned to it...don't take our word for it, try it and see it for yourself...See- beauty of sikhi is diversity in the panth.

As kirtan sohila mentions,

sooraj ayko rut anayk.

the various seasons originate from the one sun;

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
