Amritvela And Ardas


Recommended Posts

During Amritvela i have been concentrating reading paath off my itouch. I always tend to lost concentration and start to think about other things even if i listen to naam simran or kirtan before i start it.

Secondly i wanted to know during Ardas, what do we ask for? Should we be asking for things? or should we just be telling Waheguru we will be embracing our destiny which he has written out for us?

Any comments or thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks.

I am sorry singh but i have to be blunt because its a common problem, its not you but common mindset- Instead of doing panj banis as dogmatic ritual for eg (typical mullah doing panj namaza as a ritual fully condemned in guru ghar) may be we should step back and do panj banis while doing vichar on their arths, or attune our intitution to arths of panj banis- japji sahib, jaap sahib, svaiye, chaupai sahib, anand sahib..!!

If situation does not allow much time- may be spent all your amritvela listening to arth of japji sahib and go deep into it and then listen to all the other banis with ipod...after a while do the samething with other nitneem banis.

Not a fan of reading Gurbani on electronic devices. Fine if you absolutely have no choice, but I love the feel of the gutka in my hands, turning the pages, etc. It makes a lot of difference for me. Electronically I somehow feel disconnected to what I'm reading. Could be just me though.

    • 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.
