Amrit Velaa

[warrior*princess]

Pyario jee, we need to be SO serious and Strict about Amrit Velaa, that if we miss an Amrit Velaa, we should consider ourselves to not be a Sikh. That is the only way to motivate ourselves.

It DOESNT matter HOW MANY alarm clocks you arrange in your bedroom just to wake up at amrit velaa...if thats what you have to do, then do it! Do whatever it takes. That is how important amrit velaa is!!

And Amrit Velaa isnt just for those who have taken Amrit...it should be practised by those who wish to take Amrit later in life.

What can one benefit by sleeping through amrit velaa???

Okay, we all know its a difficult task to get up...but if you truly want to fulfill your jeevan/ life...thens about time we start doing something about it.

Other things that will help you spiritually and eventually help to rise at amrit velaa....

1] read all banees required everyday

(5 in the morning,

1 in the evening

1 before sleeping at night).

2] Meditate on Naam throughout the day...

24/7 with every breath. (Do as much as remembered)

3] Attend the Gurudwara often and do Kirtan amongst the Sangat

4] Attend Naam Simran programs at your Gurudwara Sahib

6] Do sevaa at Gurudwara Sahib

When Guru jee see's you making all these commitments, you will be sure to recieve greater guidance, for everything happens with Guru ji's Kirpaa.

---------------------

Let him, who calls himself a Sikh of the True Guru,

Rise Early and meditate on God

Let him exert himself in the morning and bathe in the tank of Nectar

Let him repeat G

ods Name under the Gurus Instruction

Thus shall his sins and errors be arased

Let him at sunrise sing the Gurus hymns

Sitting or standing, he should meditate on Gods Name

The disciple, who at every breath, meditates on God, will please the Guru's heart.

He alone takes the Gurus insruction who is by the Lords mercy so guided.

The slave Nanak seeks the dust of the feet of him,

Who himself repeats Gods Name, and leads others to do so.

Guru Raam Daas jee

MKhalsa bro is 11:30 really considered best amrit vela? I've read that it was 4:00am to 7:00am (Yogi Bhajan).

If it is at 11:30am then I can do naam simran that time no problem since I sleep at 2:00am, do you think this would still be considered amrit vela since I would go to sleep at 2:00am after doing naam simran?

just follow the amrit vela routine of Darbar sahib.. WHen our 11th guru guru granth sahib je is taken into main diwan

keertan starts @ 3am (maybe 2am, but i think 3am (?)) and then guru jee palkaeey comes around 4am and then guru's word sung all day along till 10pm (?) This is how some local amritsar resident starts their day everyday...
