Whaeguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Sad needs some advice regarding Nitnem, I currenlty work a 9-5 job and other than that I workout daily for apporx 2-3 hrs and as a trainer mentioned I need to sleep atleast 8-9 hours to see a difference with my workouts & size. Now I do 5x Japji Sahib & 5x Rehras Sahib daily, while working or working out walking around and I make sure I do Ardas two a day along with Kirtan Sholia before I sleep. Usually I dont get my 8-9 hours more like I get 5-6. Now I need advice, is it ok to go to sleep at 11:30 pm wake up at 2 am do Nitnem 5 banis (Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, Ten Sawayas, Chaupai and full Anand Sahib) and once that is complete go back to sleep and wake up at 7:30am. I also wondered if I can cut down on my current paath and start the above Nitnem. Please help as I want to be led to the right path.

Gurfateh ji,

As far as I am aware it is ok to do nitem at 2am and sleep afterwards, do ishnan before you start though.

Vaheguroo jee kaa Khalsaa Vaheguroo jee kee fatehh

My advice first would be that you shouldn't be telling people how much paath you are doing. You should keep it gupt as the phal you get for it is lost when you tell people. Others may say differently but many gursikhs I have done sangat with have made a point to tell us that we shouldn't tell anyone.

Secondly, there's nothing wrong with taking a nap. If you're tired/need sleep then sleep. However, many Gursikhs say the Western notion of 8 hours of sleep being optimum is quite generous and we don't actually need that much sleep to function properly.

With regards to changing your nitnem routine, the compulsory rehat for a Sikh is 5 baania (Jap Ji, Jaap, Tv Prasaad Sveye, Chaupai and Anand Sahib) in the morning, Rehraas Sahib in the evening and Kirtan Sohhila before you sleep. This is hukam and not negotiable. You must do this regardless of any other extra path/simran you do. It can't be substituted for other path etc. So as long as you do the prescribed nitnem as mentioned, anything else you do on top is your choice.

Hi Actualy,

According to Gurmat :

6 hours is a man's sleep

7 hours woman's

8 hours is a child's sleep

9 hours Fool's sleep (Though i also sometime sleep 9 hours when tired)

But attaining this is a bit difficult, but i think we should. (some may disaaprove)

And another thing in reagrds to woking up i think you should fix a time such that ..after doing Nitname u should instead of sleeping..get ready and leave for your work. Coz if u woke up onc and then go sleep again and again woke up ...u will realy feel tired..

If you think it takes 3 hours to do nitname...Woke up at 3-30 am do ishnaan and start doing nitname at 4 and you will be free at 7 ...get ready take breakfast ..and set for work...

and if someone suggests better follow that.. :-)

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
