Sangat ji, want to ask question please.

When one does Kirtan Sohila, should the Rakhea shabad also be done before it?

And i read somewhere that Japji Sahib ji should be in the morning, but i am too weak to do that, so not managed to do that bit.

Also i notice when i am tryin to do it, both times i felt worse next day, this happens with any paat i feel i have done it, then my health gets worse. This puts me off doing it as i give up.

I can't remember but think have asked this question before, having some problems with memory, so sorry, if asked before. Where am i going wrong, why does this happen. I feel i am doing it right, and even tried tried takin out the matlab approach for doing it, then why am i suffering so much. Why when i get better to a certain stage, i drop back to zero in everything.

I can't understand it no more.

Forgot to ask, before what time should it be done, and should i go straight to sleep after doing it? Can i do it lieng down as i dont have the energy sometimes to sit?

as far as I am aware, Rakhea De Shabad is not compulsory though cannot hurt to do it, especially since it is really short. Kirtan Sohila, yes idea is to do it before you go sleep as you go to bed with thoughts of the meanings of the path you have just done. In terms of health, im seriously surprised that you are finding your physical state to deteriorate after doing path, I find it difficult to believe the two things could be related. What I would suggest (hope it doesnt sound pompous) but doing more path not less will sort out any pains you are having (along with ardas of course). What do you mean you are too weak, whats your diet like, how long do you sleep, have you had this problem before?

Yes MrSingh12, its not the paat that i am deteriorating, i think its something stopping me from doing paat, and gettin better. This happens when i feel i have achieved further. Gurbani is via only thing that has helped me, i am proof of it from previous deterioration. What i cannot understand is what would be stopping me from gettin further. I feel its not just my health, maybe karm, or other external factors. I have been said somethin to me in the past, which sounded like a curse. And this is exactly wat is happening, i have turned into a beggar, not that i had anything in the first place. Always had other problems from young age, when i was healthy too. But now when i have found Sikhi, i want to be part of it, definitely somethin stopping me, and not just my mental conscious. Would a religious persons curse affect anybody? and if so how would one solve it?

My request for anybody with any sort of problem, dont go to any of these pakhandis for help, u will only come back dukhi like me, and then it will be too late to actually resolve the damage done. If one does paat, simran from an early age, that will help u more than people who cant do nothin for their own families.

Idar udar jan di lohr ni kise nu, you have to be very careful of who will put you on the right path. No point in looking at others for trivial matters either, if one has more money or seems happier, they probably are not, and only show on top, so dont ever feel u dont have the materialistic things in life, as u may end up losing something more keemti instead. This world is full of problems nowadays, the only thing that will help is god's name, and especially youngsters, dont get drawn into rituals either, sometimes the elders know what they are saying when they stop u from going to wrong places.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
