Amritwela means the time between 12-6 in the morning?

I am a amritdhari person getting problem in making amritwela. When i wake up early, i can't do paath nicely because i feel sleepy.

Whereas while when i wake up according to my health permit to me then i can do paath very nicely and concentration and I feel this is amritwela for me.

But amritwela is between 12-6 in the morning rite.

So what should i do? make a habit of waking up early, then slowly i will adopt it and will able to do paath nicely?????????????

Do advice according to GURMAT.............

There are 8 types of amritvela. Please listen to japji sahib Katha by giani thakur Singh Jee where he explains what each of them are

The first is as everyone knows from 12 midnight till sunrise. Giani Ji said that door of sachkhand is fully open 12-4am. Then it gets closed half way till 5am. After 5am it is closed completely but a small window is kept open till sunrise. Once sun rises even that small window is closed

Another type of amritvela is when we read gurbani. This can be anytime during the day.

It is well known within the panth that rising early is one of the most important things for a sikh. Bhagat fareed Jee says

Fareedaa raat kathoori vandeai, suttea Miley naa bhao. Jinna nain nindravaley tinna Milan kuaoo.

Fateh ji

Amritvela is very important for a gursikh. Amritvela,ishnasn and naam jAp!

I think maybe try and go sleep earlier,,, to wake up earlier, and be more alert at amritvela which as mentioned above in Katha is between 12-4am...

Sleep is kaljug..fight it..do ardaas to guru ji who will help

U..as the rewards of amritvela naam jAp are above anything as a chardi kala gursikh who doesn't miss amritvela will tell u..and please fit in an ardaas for me too ;)

Naam simran is most effective and strong from 1am onwards, in my experience, it is millions of times stronger in the first 2- 2 and a half hrs a bit less in the next 2 and a half hrs and goes down from there for the next few hrs.

I didn't have an alarm to wake me up at 1am so stopped sleeping, did naam simran and if I fell asleep after a few hrs then I did. Now with God's grace I rarely sleep and am still doing naam simran if I do when I wake up or come out of Samadhi- attuning myself to the Truth frequency is enough for me.

the amrit vela for partakh sant, is 24 7. for ppl starting off as in all of us lot., its 3-5. for gurmukhs, its 1-6.

3-6 is the first peher of the day. after 5, is when the physical day starts. so this is y there is 3-5. 12.30 is another time when things happen.

all will come clear to those who do AV (amritvela ). ima moorakh i dont do AV.

start easy first, 3-5 innit.

ull climb the avastha ladder and see what this means.

the first peher = 3 to 6

If your just trying to get into the routine, try and wake up as early as you can, if this means getting up at 5 or 530 then fine.

Obviously once you are into the routine of getting up you should try and make this earlier, this way you have more time to do Simran and additional nitnem bania like asa di // etc.

Also, if your finding it hard to wake up because your tired, then don't make the task even more difficult by going to bed late( like I'm doing now)) lol.

Try and be asleep early so you have about 6 hours of sleep before you get up for amritvela.

    • 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.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
