As others have said gradually build up your tolerance by increasing the time you sit crossed legged...what i will suggest is don't force your self, if your legs begin to ache really badly, move your position and let the blood flow....the last thing you want is to batter your knees at a young age and end up with arthritis...

its all about circulation...make sure you eat a healthy diet with lots of fruit/veg & water...make sure you do some form of excercise regularly...do lots of stretching esp of the legs, i suppose yoga would help hear

Finally to keep your knee joints lubricated as sitting cross legged can take its toll on people who haven't conditioned there knees yet...to add Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) to your diet...for vege's this will probably be flaxseed oil

Personally, if you're really in so much pain, I find nothing wrong with taking a break and getting up and then coming back to wherever you were sitting (in Gurdwara). The break could be five minutes or however long you need to feel comfortable again.

There's no point in toughing it out if you can't enjoy anything.

Trust me, when I used to play tabla in sangat, and I was feeling tired, I would let it be known in a professional manner. ;) If your stamina is diminishing, shouldn't you give the seva to someone else?

yea i would do that.... but alot of programs av been to therz like only a few people who can play tabla, sometimes only me and sumtimes people tell u to play tabla for them. my problem is that i have ok stamina playing tabla as my hands and arms but legs are a problem cause u need to sit chounkree. but like i said i was told to just sit as much as possible and its working.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
