Nietnam - Which Ones Do You Do Everyday?


Recommended Posts

I personally do Jap Ji Sahib and Jap Sahib in the morning

and Anand Sahib, Rehras Sahib, and Kiertan Sohila at night.

I know your supposed to do Anand Sahib in the morning but most times I end up doing it this way.

I'm curious to know which ones you all do and at what time.

the benti chaupi sahib is from "kabyo baach benti chaupi, patshaahi dasmi" to "ho jo ya ki ek baar chaupo ko kehe"

In addition to your Nitnem one should also do SriSukhmaniSahib. Guritihas is full of examples of the importance of SriSukhmaniSahib. All the great Gurmukhs of the panth did SriSukhmaniSahib as part of their Nitnem.

I have slightly increased my nietnam time and should be adding Sukhmani Sahib soon as well. One interesting thing I read in a book about Shri Guru Gobind Singh Je is that the Sikhs didn't do Nietnam/Prayers in the day only in the morning and at night. What is up with the short and long rehras where did this originate from?

with reheaas. there are 5 parts to it

so dar, so purakh, benti chaupi, anand sahib, and mundavani.. each part can be extended as much as u want, but never reduced. :) (as always). its good to have a base.. btw, yes, bani is good to do lots. but it guruG has said, that within one matra of gurbani, we can tar, then, its best to spent the time in meditation on each akhar. :D so just by doing lots of banis, its not the answer. the veechaar in the bani, is the thing. and its all on the shabad. anhad shaabad, aka dargaahi keertan. the 5 bania have so much power, and the 5 sections in reheraas. but sumtimes, wen we start in amrit (after becoming amritdhari), or start doing the 5 bania, we cannot access the power.. hence, we need to do alot more bania. slowly, the power will be felt.

this is the whole reason we do shabad jaap of a shabad in bani.. or in keertan.. in bani, sumtimes, pl say its good to do 40 / 41 etc days... thas cuz thats the time that it shud take you to get that bani inside yourself. or, thats the time that the bani takes to reach as deep as it can inside you. whatever level your avastha (spiritual level) is on. partakh mahapurash are a different story.. they are one with god, and are the saroop of shabad.. but this, sum ppl myt not understand totally.. but its ok.. this bit dont matter all that much.. :)

my point is, doing lots of bani helps. but this doesnt mean that if sum 1 just do the 5 bania, they are less than ppl who do lots of bania. however, doing bani, gives you gifts that must be treated with respect. and thus, these gifts are to be used to further oneself in their avastha. and depending on how much u vibrate with the shabad, the vibration lasts xyz period of time.. if your guru G is thert with you, well u defo know that the vibration will be there. and never ending :) so yh.. most prob the reason why they dodnt do prayers int he day time.. or, they were just in battels :PP and, the point that we do bani in morning, is that so we ahave the rest of the day free to get on with what we are supposed to do.. as in, go along with the world, but not get into it. kamaa the universe, but be ready to giv it back to guru G.. >sub saump gur ko < :)

fateh G

    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
