I haven't seen new posts for like 2 days maybe, and even some posts that were there are not there now.

Anyways, Bhai Kulbir Singh ji posted a really chardi kala post about Rehits related to ishnaan at Amrit Vela over here: http://www.tapoban.org/phorum/read.php?f=1...8921&t=8921

Since I can't see responses there, and now I don't even see my own posts in that thread for some reason, I thought I'll try bugging the sangat on this forum (6)

6) After washing your hair, soak out water and comb your hair and beard. Wash your kanga and place in in your jooRa (hair knot). Tie your keski ( a new one, a fresh one) on your head.
Wouldn't the hair start smelling and become weak (yeah I said this in another thread as well probably) if we tie them while they are wet? And combing wet hair would break a lot more hairs as well, right?
7) Wash your Siri Sahib and Gaatra or use your second set of washed gaatra and Siri Sahib and tie it around your head.
I thought the Sri Sahib could get rust if we washed it daily with water. Also, how about washing the Gatra in the end and wearing 1 thats mildly wet, because if one was to wash it before, you'd be wearing a wet Gatra on your head as you did ishnaan.

Thanks :D

I personally disagree with tapoban sangat on this one. I believe one should wash their body first, then wash their hair, leaving it loose to dry whilst doing abhiyaas. However to answer your question i believe they only tie up ther hair whilst washing their body, then after they leave it loose to dry naturally.

I would have two gatre and wear them on alternate days, washing ur gatra every day, then leave it to dry and put ur clean, dry one on.

Hmmm i clean my sri sahib with sand, i think it would get damaged washing it with water every day

all i know is when you do panj pyarey seva, thats when its really required to wash your gatra and sri sahib. with sand. . .however the sri sahib should always be clean. wrt washing kes etc. . .i was told not to do it everyday as it will harm my kes . . .and always put allot of oil into kes. but everyone has different views on this.

i dun wash my hair everyday... twice a week is wha i do... and i dun wash my hair in the mornin, i wash it (with shampoo) at nite before i sleep.. that way when i wake up in the mornin i's dry and good to go.. if i washed my hair in the mornin it would be wet through the day (at work) and would be itchy and uncomfortable... nebody who's seen my hair knows it takes FOREVER for it to dry... even if i leave it open, it'll take at least 6 to 7 hours to dry...

i guess i's diff for everybody.. i kno singhs who have VERY short kesh, so are able to do ishnaan of kesh everyday... nah the case for me...

Personally I think this:

Do whatever you like right

AND don't force your views on others

eg: "THIS is Gurmat.. otherwise is Manmat" who are we to say whats gurmat lol..

I used to wash kesh everyday - stopped coz ma kesh started falling off (even w/o shampoo) so me just chillin with weekly kesi ishnaan ini

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
