ok i was in ur place about sitting down, for a long time, and i really didnt know what to do.........it was bad for me, i cudnt sit longer than like 5 min. but after taking amrit and starting daily nitnem, i did paath without sitting against the wall. and also at the gurdwara i started sitting away from the wall. slowly without really realising, it became easier.....

basically my tip to u is to practice!!! at the time it will seem that you just cant do it, but seriously after a week u will notice a big difference. just sit and read, or talk to family or watching tv, sit on the floor. at every opportunity sit on the floor... BUT away from the wall lol

other tips

start stretching your legs every morning and also before you sit down.

correct your posture, like are you sitting on your bottom? or like more near the botton of your back, you will find sitting on your bottom that you can sit longer, try adjusting a little bit and finding a comfortable spot lol also widening your legs, or pulling your fit in , or moving them out, just adjust and try out different things

i found that wearing jeans or trousers restricted my legs that little bit, which made it difficult to sit down longer. in bana i could sit through a whole rhensbhai !!

at home try to eat langar sitting down.

or sit on the floor instead of the sofa,

sit crossed legged for as long as you can, then lie down, or change your position to rest, then go to the cross legged position again......... and keep alternating, slowly you legs will become more flexible.......

stretching all the time, even dedicate some time to do simple stretches and relax your legs when sitting down, alot of ppl tense up, but keep your back str8...........

also dont over do it at the begining otherwise you will get sick of it and stop trying. try to enjoy the process..........

To be honest, I can't sit on the floor for very long myself. I've become too used to nice sofas and chairs. Of course, I tolerate it in Gurdwara, but it's a constant struggle of moving in all sorts of postions and I get really injured when it's time to leave and takes me about 10 minutes to walk off the pain I feel.

I have a nice fluffy carpet in my place, and the only time I'm laying on it is when I'm passed out and can't make it to my bed.

    • 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.
