Kirpaa Kurkay saaree Gurbani noo aatha smait soach vichaar kay paro.

Please read all of Gurbani with aarths while comtemplatiing on each shabad and before that

get some training on how to read and understand Gurbani.

I advice you to do the same veer ji.

Bhainji, those that have and know. I will take that advice for sure. No worries but the great Gurmukhs who spent 24/7 of their life on Gurbani say it. Yes, I will do so. For now, I rely on aarths done by Prof. Sahib Singh as they are accepted by Akaal Takht as the teekah to use. I do try to do aarths when I have time but mostly Prof. Sahib Singh ones are the best there is. I don't follow the aarths that he does blindly. If it looks like he made a mistake, I go over. Gurbani is deep but understandable. Time has to be spent. No offence but not sure that a lot of the chelas who show up here have spent any time on it. I also request a sadh chela to do Shud Gurbani paath. Load a clip.

No I heard it from a Viasakhi Sakhi along time ago. I also found it on Sikhiwiki::

The next vital change occurred when the Tenth Guru created the Khalsa. Since Guru Gobind Singh wanted a complete transformation of Sikh society, he ordered the overhauling of two fundamental institutions of the Sikhs. The first was the substitution of Khande di Pahul for Charan Pahul and the second was the substitution of Vahiguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vahiguru Ji Ki Fateh for Pairi Pauna. Sarup Das Bhalla, Mahima Prakash, describes the end of the custom of the Charan Pahul graphically in the following verse:

The Guru collected the washing of his feet in a jar,

Sealed its mouth with wax,

And consigned it to the River Sutlej

In its place he now ordained Khande di Pahul

Thus, the practice of administering Charan Pahul was discarded and along with it was discarded the former mode of greeting, Pairi Pauna. In its place the Panth was now given a new salutation, a new form of greeting, Vahiguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vahiguru Ji Ki Fateh (Khalsa belongs to God, and to Him alone belongs the Victory).

It would be the highest honor to be a Sikh from 1500s-1700s being able to bow to the first 10 Gurus. but........ I put that effort in when I bow to the Shabad Guru because the body is different but the jyot is the same.

    • 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…
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!!
