The Shaheed are particularly pleased with the lighting of a Jot and burning of incense

Can you tell me where I can find out more info on this, where did you get this knowledge? On Jots and Shaheed Singhs, I do feel a great energy when I light a jot, I am almost mesmerised by it.

There is maryada to follow with lighting Jot, not somehting to mess around with. Shaheed Singh's can also get angry if marayda of even Jot is not followed correctly.

waheguru ji this is correct.....that's why mahapurkh's doesn't prefer "jot" to be lightened at home unless it's a house of very high state gurmukh.....because jisde naam di jot lagdi hai, he has to visit the house at least once a day and we, ignorant people doesn't have that kind of respectful and spiritual environment (tv going on whole day with movies, daily soaps, vulgar songs etc)....we just do it as a formality on daily routine....which is not right.......

and just a point....when there is sehaj path going on or we are doing path and the smell in the environment is not good, it's better to light up some agarbatti or perfume or air freshener....just to get rid of bad odour.......

on Singh shaheeds........once Dhan Dhan Baba Nand Singh ji was residing at the border of some village (don't remember the name).....small muslim raje /lootere used to loot the villages........the sangat came to baba ji and did benti that they have come to know that their village will be looted next morning.....please do something.....Baba ji said Guru ji bhala karange.........then villagers left........that night baba ji did ardas to dasve paatshah.........Guru sahib came himself and gupt faujaan wearing while colour bana.....Guru Sahib and baba ji were together at Baba ji's place and in the morning Baba ji saw shasterdhari Gupt fauja on the paharhi and the looters did come but backed away when they saw armed hundreds of armed men on the top of the paharhi that they had to cross to attack the village...........

waheguru ji .....one person not a very high spiritual being, but just a common sikh, told me once that we should not do ninda of any mahapursh or gursikh....because if there are 100 gurmukh's...99 fake and one real.....ik sache gurmukh, sant di kiti ninda ne sare kite karaye te paani pher dena.....and we'll be back to zero........so....if we don't know anything....we should not point out on them.........because of our lack of spirituality..........we should play safe.......

waheguru ji I heard the same thing from Giani Thakur Singh ji, if you want to know more....listen to his kathas...especially Sukhmani Sahib katha........which can be downloaded from any sikh site......

As far as I have seen (we do this at our house to), it is lighted in the room that we do our nitnem in, with agarbatti. Usually in the evenings during rehraas sahib. Most people don't particularly light it in memory of shaheed singhs (I don't think), it is just done in remembrance of the Lord as the "jot or God". I have also read in other places that even during the Guru's times it was lighted in evenings during rehraas and sikhs were told to keep a sehaj paath going aswell.

""""that's why mahapurkh's doesn't prefer "jot" to be lightened at home"""

Most mahapurshes I have met have always encouraged lighting of the jot, I have never heard what you are saying before.

Do you know in which in particular katha Gyani ji talks about jot lighting?

OT but I completely agree. Sometimes we develop a herd mentality and start laying into someone just because everyone else is doing nindya, etc. It's tough to curb this habit but as normal folk we really do have no idea what the heck is going on behind closed doors. So best to keep it zipped and keep your own house in order. That's what I'm beginning to realise anyway. :biggrin2:

waheguru ji read the full paragraph...which gives the explanation ....

I think it was Sukhmani Sahib (not sure).......heard couple of years back...
