I have a few questions about Amrit Vela.

Firstly i have problems with tiredness. I can get up and i have a shower, with cold water. But as soon as i come to start Simran, after 10 minutes i start falling asleep. I dont know what to do. Aslo does anyone know of any good stretches to do before Amrit Vela?

Thanks

Why are you using cold water? :s

Go to sleep, say 11/11.30 that gives you enough time to sleep well. If you're like me then 4 hours alone would suffice. Why do you need to stretch?

Go to sleep 10 hrs before your amritvela time. Once you are on roll then bring sleep time to 9 hrs and then to 8 hrs. This trick helped me in the past :)

This is very good advice, I do a lot of running and I need to be up early and do at least 5 to 6 miles before work. This technique really helped in the past.

I had the same problem, recently it's been easier getting up tho. If you want to get up for amritvela then I think 11/1130 like someone else suggested is too late. I try and get into bed for 930/10 .

Try and avoid going back to sleep afterwards aswell, if you do this you will be slighty more tired thereby making if easier for you to go to sleep earlier the same night.

Good luck on your Amrit vela goals for 2011 OP

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
