How To Sit In Chounkree Longer?


Recommended Posts

The tingling and heaviness in the feet is due to pressure on the nerve that wraps around the outside of the leg just below the knee and pressure here will cause a temporary stunning of that nerve ('common fibular nerve paraesthesia' - just google it if you are really interested).

The other problems are general aches and discomfort due to pressure on parts of the body. if you were to remain still for 2h you would develop pressure sores on dependant areas - naturally we shift and shuffle about a bit.

Therefore avoid sitting crossed legs for too long, otherwise you'll get the pins & needles sensation. Secondly use common sense and alter your position without causing inconvenience to your neighbour and without causing offence to Maharaj ie do not point feet in that direction.

Poor circulation only comes into play in those with dire health ie heavy smokers for 20y with peripheral vascular disease (hopefully no one here then! - but can also affect those who have had diabetes for an number of years). The other top tip would be to loose weight if overweight - again common sense.

Finally if you are really uncomfortable, then do matha tek, go out of the durbar and stretch your legs for five minutes before returning.

one thing I can tell any teenager about sitting in chonkri, is is that during your growth spurts make sure you stretch and sit in chonkri at least 5 mins each day.

During my "growth" period i didnt go to the gurdwara much and didnt sit in chonkri for ages so ended up not being able to do it all!

Had to stretch my legs and groin every night since then to be able to do it again,lol.

My two cents just do groin/other leg streches every day to better your chonkri "stamina".

I nearly chocked on my spit when I saw the pics!! lol

About chunkri...only after 2 hours my legs start to go...Thats when I swap them around. So in total I can sit for 4 hours. What your supposed to do is sit in a correct posture (back straight, arms in front of you etc)

However if you want to sit forever then you do the Rishi posture where you have both legs off the ground!!

My trouble is that I can get one leg on top but then the other leg does not go up....but basically get both feet off the ground and you will be sorted!!!

I swear so many embarrassing things have happened to me cos my legs go numb. Once I was in gurdwara for 5 hours and I kept swapping legs and then I thort omg I cannot feel anything. So i decided I should get up. My leg was numb and you know its really hard to walk on a numb leg cos u cannot feel the ground....and so u end up with a limp.

Anyways I managed to walk fairly okay (had a small limp but it wasn't that obvious)...I was kinda able to judge and coordinate the distance to the ground. When I reached the main walking bit where everyone does matha tek something terrible happened. Can you believe my leg gave way and I fell!!

It was so embarrassing. To make it worse I was wearing a butterfly suit so it went up in the air. Everyone just looked at me and even the kirtani had a pause. Moral of story : If you sit for 5 hours thru the pain ure gonna find it hard to walk, so jst take a break.

    • 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.
