*amritvela*

[Guest Gupt Singhni]

Naam Jap can be done anytime but doing naam Jap during the ambrosial hours (amrit vela) is most fruitful. Also you will be most noticed since 3-6 is the time when everyone is asleep whilst the precious jewels (Gursikhs) are wake japping God's wondrous name with intense love. Amritvela is the only time our super-thought or state of mind can turn inward, where we can become one-pointed and realise bliss. Japping naam at amritvela is most fruitful and is the only way we can be saved and thus become liberated.

I cannot stress how important amrit vela is, we all call ourselves sikhs of the guru, but look at this;

gur sathigur kaa jo sikh akhaaeae s bhalakae out(h) har naam dhhiaavai ||

One who calls himself a Sikh of the Guru, the True Guru, shall rise in the early morning hours and meditate on the Lord's Name.

to call ourselves a sikh of the guru, we MUST wake up at amrit vela. Panj piayre said we should japp naam for a minimum of two hours, amrit vela is a good time to japp naam, as there are fewer distractions. But amrit vela doesnt stop there, after we do our simran, this should continue during the day, whilst performing our worldy duties. Amrit Vela isnt a chore, its a blessing.

Lets do ardas that mahraaj blesses all his children with amrit vela.
