New Baby Boy And The Sikhi Way Off Life

[Lion of Punjab]

When a newborn is born into a sikh family , what 'things' should be done?

I know about taking the first letter of his name from SGGS ji.

What else should one be looking to do?

(i know its funny question , but cannot think properly at the mo on how to phrase it)

[jaswinder singh]

Hi LOP - This is what we in our young days were told by the learned Singhs

soon after the birth of the baby - take some water in a sarbloh batta

put some patashas and recite japji saheb also keep stirring the water

with small kirpan or khanda - the patashas will dissolve before the Japji is

recited in full , do ardas to thank the God for blessing us with baby and

pray that the baby spends its life in virtuos way as per the Gurmat

Now put some drops of this nectar in baby's mouth and the rest be

partaken by the parents .

this will be the real GURTI WHICH WILL HAV LIFELONG EFFECT ON THE

NEW SOUL. AIf this gurti is given by a gursikh with real virtuos life

it would be even better . We can also prepare karah Prasad along with

bur we should not insist it be given to baby.

This procedure was told by my father , and practised in our family

This is the best source for the question u are asking:

Read section 2: JANAM SANSKAR- in the Punj sanskar pothi and it has everything plus more listed below:

Section 2: details the conduct for the birth of a child. It covers from the initial ardaas for a child and covers up to raising the child (womb ardaas, health care, Amrit, nameing the child, method of raising the child etc). It is supported by examples from GuruSahib’s time and complemented with the lives of many Gurmukhs.

theres also a list of recordings of the pothi like an audiobook, read-along pothi,janam sanskar

so u can listen to janam sanskar too, janam sanskar starts from track 15
