Guru Nanak dev ji came across people in a river, splashing water towards their dead ancestors, that were supposedly living on the Sun.

Guru ji started to splash water in the opposite direction.

The confused people asked him what he was doing.

He replied, "I am watering my fields"

The people asked, "How can you water your fields from so far away."

Guru ji replied "If you can send water to your ancestors on the Sun, then why can't I send water to my fields?"

Learningkaur ji,

Guru sahib jee knows everything, waheguru jee knows your inner-self and as long as you have clean and pure(sharda) thought, waheguru sahib jee listen to them. Soul comes and go and we should really throw trust at waheguru sahib jee that he will care of our beloved ones.

You can start sehaj paat of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in the memory of your loved one. It will bring benefit to you and others.

It all depends on sharda. All is happening under guru sahib jees human.

so then why do you do an akand path during a funeral service and ardas?

According to sikh rehat, a reading of the Guru Granth Sahib ji should be commenced within 10 days after the funeral.

All the paths should be done within this time and after 10 days there should be no more paaths for the funeral.

Kirtan may also be performed every night within those 10 days if the family desires.

A paath is required after all funerals for sikhs.

And within this 10 days is also a requirement!

seems like no body is going to give you an answer according to ur question.

impossible things happen in the house of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Sahib Ji Maharaj...

if you have trust in Maharaj and you believe that a prayer can help the deceased person then go for it and dnt wait.

Suitables baanies for any kind of prayer (ardas) but not limited to these baanies are Mool Mantar, Jap Ji Sahib, Chaupayi Sahib, Sukhmani Sahib and Waheguru Naam Simran with proper ardas and your personal ardas in the ardas. Millions of ardas roopi shabads in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji which makes your shardha strong and ur belief firm and helps you and OTHERS (whom you do ardas for) with any kind of prayer you have in your mind.

It does not matter in how many days also i ddnt get ur question about how many days.

    • 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.
