Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I am interested in becoming a giani. I just wanted some advice on how to become one please. Also, i heard from a fellow sikh once that there is now some sort of course you can do or have to do to become a giani. Is this true? I'm no longer in touch with the person who said this so i can't find out more.

Thanks

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

If you want to become a good gyani, you'll have to study at a traditional Taksal - either a branch of Damdami Taksal or with Nihang Singhs or Nirmale e.g. Nanaksar, Rarasahib etc. Studying at these places, you'll also be forced to wake up early and do simran, paath etc. So you get some Kamaayi and experience what Gurbani talks about. It could take years before they let you do parchaar.

If you want to take short-cuts, you can do the Sikh missionary courses from the comfort of your bedroom and call yourself a Gyani after a couple of years.

Hope this helps!

Wow. I see its more complicated than i thought. Lol. I don't even know punjabi yet. I'm born and bred in the UK and would do parchar here. It seems a bit too long now. I'm 24 already. Don't know what to do in life. Learning to become a giani seemed appealing.

Thanks though

What abt first taking santhea? Guru Maharaj will bless you with sewa and simran. Just start with nimarta...

To be a gianni doesn't mean to sit on the stage and tell them something nice abt sikhi.

A Giani could be also a wisdome guy who can help ppl like an doctor. Giaan just means knowledge. And choose one thing where you have knowledge abt and want to do sewa... and do it by heart... If you do it good ppl will automaticaly start calling you giani ji ;-)

Whatever you wish to do in life takes commitment and sacrifice of time. If your worried about spending time learning, then why are you even a Sikh? Obtaining knowledge through years of study should appeal to everyone, if the Gurus were such esteemed intellectuals, why should their Sikhs be content in being uneducated?

The source of knowledge, The source of each and every thought, the source of each and every cell on this planet is already within you.

Realise the inner being and then you shall automatically recieve brahm gian from the supreme soul inside you.

Where did guru's get all knowledge from? Actually, i am sorry for calling that knowledge. That was guru ji wisdom. for us, its only knowledge, until we actually put what sggs ji tells us into practice.

what good is knowledge if used not for any good? Knowledge is a curse if you become egostic about it and show off and think you're better than others.

Gurbani says, the one who does not do what he preaches shall be reincarnated over and over again.

Sikh of the guru says to the guru, o my guru, you're my beloved protector, you've given me so much, you've blessed me with this precious human life in this kaljug. please bless me so i can save myself and save my other fellow brother and sisters as well.

to the humble soul, when god is satisfied with his bhagat, bestows permanent mercy upon him and unites with him. that is the our goal of this life.

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
