Tyar Bar Tyar

[Kaljug Singh]

I hope that we all know how essential being tyar bar tyar is for a Sikh.

What spiritual steps do you take to strengthen this quality in yourself?

Do you read Chandi di //, Ugardanti, or other Dasam Bani in addition to your nitnem?

Do you practice naam simran or meditation to ensure that you have a clear mind that is untroubled by strife and conflict?

What else?

What practical steps do you take to be tyar bar tyar?

Do you ensure that your kirpan is sharp, easy to access, and can actually be used in combat?

Do you practice gatka, kali/arnis/eskrima, krav maga, or some other martial art that specialises in weapon combat (in other words, are you confident that you can actually make full use of your shastar without hurting yourself)?

Do you regularly engage in a fitness and strenth training?

Do you practice awareness training in your everyday life?

What else?

Spiritual Steps - Have a pukkha Amritvela going on!!

Nice post tho!! We could all learn alot from this!!

[khalistan_militant]

the basic definition of tyaar bar tyaar is u read 7 baanis a day and havent done a bujjer kureht

but obviously much more can be added depends on what your aims are, got to slowly build it all up pakka amrit vela, stay health and fit, be able to survive in jung conditions, get as much baani of by heart indulge in as much seva as possible the list goes on....

jap ji sahib, and 5 granthi nitnem's.....very very important......

baba deep singh ji is prolly the only person in the history of the earth who actually put their head in the palm of their hand. yea we all talk about it, and give it meaning, but baba ji acutally did it. and that power came from the 110 jap ji sahibs, along with 5 granthi nitnem everyday.

baba jarnail singh ji was the only person who stood up to the goverment and challanged them back in the 80's. we all talk about doing stuff and standing up for ourselves, but baba ji actually did it. and that power also came from the 150 jap ji sahibs, along with 5 granthi nitnem everyday.

im sure there are many other chardikala singhs in the panth, but when u think of a soorma, these 2 mahapursh's names will always be remembered.

Nice veerji... You put it nicely...

Just for your kind information, there is a Gurudwara in name of Mati Minhas (of 14th century) who fought against Mughals with his head on palm too... Its near the pind Daroli (my dad's nanke, near my nanke, Padhiana) in dist Jalandhar.... (do not take offense please)

What we often tend to forget is that most of Singhs in movement did massive amount of Paath... They were fierce like tigers in the battle field but were as much absorbed in Naam in their free time.

Sant Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale: 101 Japji Sahibs a day along with many other Bani's and the 5 Granthi (in their early youth, their nitnem was 22 hours long)

Shaheed Talwinder Singh Ji Babbar: 18 Bani's a day

Shaheed Harjinder Singh Jinda and Sukhdev Singh Sukha: 25 Japji Sahibs, 11 Sukhmani Sahibs and 7 Bani's (their nitnem was 16-18 hours long)

Shaheed Avtaar Singh Babbar Pehelvaan : 21 Bani's

And many more ChardiKalla GurSikhs.

I feel I should have been more clear in my question.

I have a pretty good idea what other soormay Gursikhs did to remain tyar bar tyar, but the question is what do YOU do to stay tyar bar tyar?

The original question had two separate parts bolded to emphasise the fact that both spiritual and practical steps must be practised to remain tyar bar tyar:

Yes, you will never have the courage of Baba Deep Singh to give up your head for Guru Ji unless you have some spiritual experience and deep faith in Guru Ji's Hukam, but if all you do is pray and meditate and you neglect your physical training for war, you will likely be killed in battle and attain Sachkand but you will have failed in destroying your dusht.

So let me ask it again:

1) What spiritual steps do YOU take to remain tyar bar tyar?

2) What practical/martial steps do YOU take to remain tyar bar tyar?

By the way, I want to give thanks and much love to my Veer Jis who respondedto this thread with thoughtful answers, and a special thanks to sunnybondsingh84 for replying to this thread and to another thread on ugardanti that I learned from through his answers. :-)

[Kaljug Singh]

I guess I'll start then.

Spiritual steps:

- Recite Chandi di // with morning banis, also trying to fit in Ugardanti.

- Attempt to read and understand Dasam Bani on a regular basis

- meditation, both sitting (for clarity of mind) and standing (to overcome discomfort and to attain the ability to relax in stressful situation)

- Chi Kung to increase the body's energy reserves

Practical steps:

- Increasing strength through weight training

- Cardio for endurance

- Arnis for easy and effective weapons and emptyhand combat

- I'm starting olympic wrestling and muay thai again in a month or two

- Applying for my Fire Arms Certificate to take up small bore rifle shooting

What about you?

You'd need to join a shooting club in your area and then apply at your police station for an FAC. You also need to have a secure safe to keep your rifles/shotguns and a separate secure place for your ammunition before you will be granted one.

Shoot (har har!) me a PM with your email and I'll get back to you with some info later. I'll ask around and see if anyone knows of shooting clubs in the East London area.
