Money problems

[Guest Kaur]

Dear Sangat Jee

This may be trivial but is there any shabad or jaap we can recite to help bring prosperity? With the current economic climate we're struggling to support family and manage household bills.

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to add, we both work full time, live around London. I have looked into taking a 2nd job but it is not feasible with running a household and having to be out the house for around 12hours each day due to current job.

I thought maye we could recite extra baani and wondered if there was a particular shabad or jaap that could ease us out of this slumber.

Thanks for the responses so far

I don't think it's a simple as doing Naam Simran and then opening your eyes and there a wad on notes next to you! Naam Simran will give someone confidence, chardi kala attitude to tackle their problems head on. This could be something as simple as putting pen to paper and making a list of income and outgoings. Sometimes when you see what the outgoings are going on you can reduce or stop those which are superfluous.

I would suggest that the OP contact an organisation like citizens advice or something similar who will be able to see what help they could receive from govt sources according to their situation. It is amazing what is sometimes available even though the Op might think that they are entitled to nothing.

The whole shabad: Ja tu mere vall hai ta kya mohchhanda ll

Or repitition of this tuk: Prabh ke simran ridh sidh nau nidh ll

Don't worry about what soemone else says. If you believe that Gurbani has the power of setting things the right way, then do it!

Dearest _Kaur_ Jee,

First of all as I type this, in my heart I do an ardas for you and your family and children, that God will provide you with everything you need and open new doors for you and bless you with financial prosperity. This is my ardas and may it be answered according to God's Divine Pleasure and Will for your family. I hope others reading this too will include bhenjee _Kaur_ in their nijee(private)ardas.

Second, dearest sister, the best way for God to look after you and your family and provide for you is to really focus on having a very true and deep relationship with Gurujee and God. I come from a poor family where we were very poor and my sisters could not get married. However as a teenager, I turned to Sikhism, God, and Gurujee, took Amrit, started learning kirtan and how to read SGGS, and I started making everybody in my family sit with me and do evening Rehraas and kirtan and ardas. So our house became a house where every evening there were prayers. My mother would make parshad too. I would also wake up extremely early and do nitnem, simran and ardas. Gurujee blessed our family and our financial problems all got sorted and my sisters all got married!

So I have posted shabads for confidence building further up in an earlier post you can use immediately but for the long term, let you big concern shift from money worries to ensuring all of your family is travelling on the path of true deep Sikhism. Get very involved in going to Gurdwara and satsang and if you are not baptised, think of getting Amrit. Get your children involved in, learning punjabee, gurbanee and kirtan etc. Make sure you have translations of Shree Guru Granth Sahib in your house and plenty of books on Sikhism. If you dont and cant afford, pm me privately and I will het these posted to you asap.

If you wake up every morning amritvela and do simran and nitnem and ardas, there is no way God will desert and abandon you. Once a lady came crying to me that her son had failed his final medical MBBS exams. I told her to come with her husband to my house every morning at 4 am and we would do Sukhmani Sahib together and then simran and ardas. Her son then passed his exams and is now a doctor. Another lady told me her husband and mother in law had thrown her out to divorce her because she could not get pregnant. I told her to get up and do simran every morning for two hours 4a.m to 6a.m everyday at least for 40 days. On the 40th day. her husband and mother in law came and begged forgiveness and took her back home! 3 months later I met her at a Gurdwara where my jetha was doing kirtan and she was pregnant! I could keep typing such true stories all night on my computer for you, but you get the point.

Also, you are on the right website because there are many blessed Sikhs here all very willing to help you out.

I run businesses through God's grace so I could help you out in financial planning but I need more details. Sometimes what we want is right under our nose but we cannot see it. Money is a flow because it comes and goes. You have to work out that how it can come, where it is hiding, but you also need to work out where it is going so you can drag it out more. If you are in the UK as you said in London, you should talk to an accountant by paying him a small sum of money for advice. He could look at your monthly income statements of wife and husband, and the ages of your children etc and advice you of any benefits you are entitled to.

You may also need to look at your education levels because you could invest(painfully) in some further education courses that will provide you better income in the future. You havent stated much so its hard to pinpoint where you can progress. Given more information me and others on this site who have experience in household matters could give you more specific advice. There may be talents you may have by which you could even start some part time business. You also need to look at your mortgage ,weekly shopping, rent and other bills and expenditure from different angles. The western diet and food shopping pattern is far higher than that of traditional Sikh diet. My parents had 8 children making it a total of 10 persons. But every morning my mother boiled and made tea with parathas from cheap atta which you buy in a big sack together with homemade achar and yoghurt and ghee. Likewise afternoon rice and dhall with some vegetables and evening stuff like chapattis with a dall and sabzee. You could even utilise your garden no matter how big or small it is to grow your own veg. This year I grew my own potatoes, sarson, tomatoes, chilies, spinach, methi, fruits like raspberries, strawberries, blk currants etc, carrots, coriander, basil, in my garden. Right now I have sweet little berry like chilean guava fruits ripening in this winter time.

So we need to be creative and imaginative and think out of the box and arrange and rearrange how we do things, how we construct our household structure and God will help us. I could go on all day and night giving you many examples but thats enough for now and will be great to hear back from you and may this discussion continue for your benefit.

There is no shortage in the house of Guru Nanak Dev Maharaj!

Guru ji is not listening to your ardas because he wants you to do an ardas for a lamborghini instead of a Ferrari.
