sangat ji,

I want to know how did the Guru's say the bhai ji is supposed to take Hukamnama from SGGS ji after ardas?

I ask cuz I think it should be done a particular way but I see the bhai jis doing something totally different.

I think when bhai ji wants to take Hukamnama, he should respectfully close SGGS ji, as in take both sides of the cover and bring it up to get the angs together........and then pick a spot at random and respectfully open SGGS ji at the random ang. This is what I have been brought up to believe.

But this is how bhai ji's do it:

after ardaas when bhai ji moves back the rumaala, he moves some angs to the rght, then some angs to the left, then maybe again some angs to the right......he keeps doing this few times until he has found a "good" Hukamnama. Then he reads the Hukamnama that HE hand picked.

I feel this is wrong way to get Hukamnama since it is not taken at random, instead the bhai ji flips angs back and forth till he has found a shabad he had in mind perhaps.

so how is it SUPPOSED to be done?

thanx

^_^

How about this idea:

my bibi says that when taking a hukamnama before 12pm, it is taken from the panna on this side. if hukamnama is taken after 12pm then hukamnama is taken from that side of the panna. I don't remember which panna goes with which time. maybe from left side before 12pm and from right side after 12pm.

this sounds non-gurmat to me, but then again i dunno for sure.

anyone heard of this? what u think?

btw, she said that hukamnama can not be found on every panna of SGGS ji. she said that sometimes there is a "lamee vaar" and the bhai has to turn several panne before he gets to the beginning of a shabad.

is this true? my baba said no. :lol:

how many hukamnamas are possible from SGGS ji?

thanx

^_^

Some people believe that if its morning time, the hukamnama should be taken from the top, if its afternoon, it should be taken from the middle, and if its nighttime then from the bottom.

They say that if you just take it from the top left side only, like some people do, then the shabads in the middle would never become hukamnamey.

Still other people flip to a random ang with their eyes closed, and then read the first shabad that their eyes fall on as the hukamnama

hmmmm.....thats a new one. :lol:

i thought hukamnama begins at the beginning of the shabad, so it can't be taken from the middle or bottom of the panna. unless the panna that is picked has the shabad starting on the previous page.

over here the bhai ji has his eyes wide open when taking hukamnama the way i think is wrong way.

come on, need more input here. more ppl are busy with the other sections tongue.gif

the way i take it is the last thing gurjeet kaur described

i close my eyes, open guru granth sahib jee to a random ang, and keep my eyes closed and in my mind focus on the ardas of "please bless me with a hukam guru jee"

then i slowly open my eyes - whatever akhar i see first, i go to the start of that word, then the start of that shabad, and i use that shabad as my hukam

it feels like to me that only guru sahib can control my actions while my eyes are closed - and also only guru sahib can control where my eyes fall on the page - so this feels to me like leaving it up to guru jee and less up to me ..

i don't know - i might be wrong (99% of the time i am wrong)

waheguru ji ki fateh!

If you read Se Kineya by Sant Seva Singh which outlines the life of Sant Baba Harnam Singh Jee (Rampur Kheray) in the book it states that the sangat asked this exact same question to Baba Jee.

Baba Jee did ardaas in front of Guru Granth Sahib Jee and had the darshan of Baba Buddha Jee in which he was told that:

1. Mool Mantar should be repeated 5 times.

2. Then a small thukh should be read (eg. so kaho tul gur saiveeyai...)

3. Then a small number of Angs (with great respect) should be turned either left or right and then the first shabad on the left side Ang should be read.

- if the Ang contains a shabad which is actually started on the Ang on the PREVIOUS Ang then the shabad on the previous is the Hukam of Guru Sahib.

      why dasam granth bani is not included in guru granth sahib

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us.

      Mri Scan And Kakaars

      By v.singh · Posted

      My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.

      Dasvandh

      Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.

      Gurbani Paath is NOT enough

      By BhForce · Posted

      No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
