"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.

Sat Sri Akal:

"is there a way of doing bad simran?"

Sure...I do it internally all the time like this:

Haumai, Haumai, Haumai, Haumai, Haumai...

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.

i know some people when they are doing akj style... they start moving theyre bodys shaking there heads and do some stuff....

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

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;
