Vaheguroo

that is excellent news!! :D

yes you can listen to your Baniaa in audio form, but it will help your concentration if you also read from a Gutka Sahib at the same time.

and yes you have to wake up at Amrit Vela, your gonna have to do it your whole life so you might as well get in the habit now Guru Piyaareh :happy:

and lastly CONGRATULATIONS!!!

what Prabjyot Kaur Penji said is totally true:

Read bani.....feel that piaas to read it jee : D cuz we're lucky to have it : )

we should all make the effort to learn Gurbani....

WJKK WJKF,

Thats great news!

You can listen to Banis on Audio but its best for you to recite them yourself. This way you can concentrate on the Banis at your own pace. If you cannot read Gurmukhi then you should learn, and at the same time try to memorzie as much as the Banis when listening to them on Audio.

In regards to Amrit Vela. Amrit Vela is a great opportunity to seek Guru Jis blessings. Unfortunately, there are many Gursikhs who do not take this special time to wake up and seek Gurus blessing. Younger people do genereally have a harder time waking up for Amrit Vela. But you can try waking up as early as possible even if this means 7 am, and then slowly by slowly wake up 15 minutes more eariler each month. Eventually you will adjust to the early time and have a good Amrit Vela.

make sure you start to do naamsimran from now (itl be great if u already do)

basically the reason for this is because to sum it up our soul is like a bowl. we might have done bad karam this life or previously. so we need to do naamsimran to clean our inside up. so when we take amrit our inside soul atma whatever you like caling it is pure as we take amrit. and we carry on maintaining doing bani and naamsimran to keep our bowl which has amrit in it clean.

Yes this advice appears to be true. Whenever I try to do nitnem without doing Naam Simran in the morning and the night before my mind seems to be distracted and clogged. Im guessing this is from all the dirt of this life and previous lifes. But when I do Naam Simran the night before my mind seems to be focused and more attached to the bani internally.

VaahegurooJeeKaaKhaalsaa, VaahegurooJeeKeeFaateh!!

Amrit Vela is essential for every gursikh who takes amrit. Doing simran at amrit vela will lead you to doing simran throughout the day, as the vaaheguroo's dhuni will be repeating in your subconscious. Bhai Rama Singh in his autobiography describes amrit vela simran as winding the clock so the simran continues throughout the day.

Missing amrit vela simran is like a dominos affect because if you miss amrit vela simran, that means Vaaheguroo's dhuni will not being going on in your sub conscious throughout the day, therefore your leaving your mind unguarded, so the punj doot will attac you i.e Lust and anger. Lust and anger will lead to your mind having unpure thoughts i.e swearing, fighting and kaami activites. This will then lead to sinful actions, which could stain your mind and affect your spirtuality.

There is a weakness in the panth as the importance of naam simran has been lost. This then leads to weaknesses in rehit and personal jeevan. Therefore before taking amrit I recommend you build your amrit vela routine up. So start with doing 5 mins simran and nitnaam. Then slowly build your simran time up everyday by increasing your simran by 2 minutes. Eventually your aim is to do 2 hours naam abyiaas everyday with guru jee's kirpaa. The main thing is you enjoy the simran your doing and dont put too much pressure on your mind. Take your time and have patience. Also try to find gursikhs who you can meet up with at amrit vela and do simran with. This will help you loads!!

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
