I've come across lots of discussions whether to eat before doing paat or not.

now i am not a holy person, but i want to start doing paat and i think i owe it to Waheguru ji. :waheguru:

any who, apparently you should not eat before doing Jaapji sahib.. Rehrass sahib.

apparently if you do so, you should eat an hour before or wait an hour after.

more so, it is written in gurbani. :?

if this is so, my mind set would be very aargh cos i cant concentrate on an empty stomach. lol.

and take cold showers, unless its hot but in Britain it isn't so :|

Also other questions being..

1) when doing Rehrass sahib do you need to do Chaupi sahib after or just Ardass or both ?

2) when doing Jaapji sahib do you do ardass after or Chaupi sahib or niether ?

3)when doing Kirtan sohila, do you need to do anything else like Ardass or Chaupi sahib?

also if i wake up early have an shower, do Jaapji sahib and go on by my day and eat meat at lunch is it ok for me to do Rehrass paat?

im new to praying >.< and dont wanna be worst off, by doing it wrong.

i eat meat, im trying to cut that out and go veggie! but i heard sikhs can eat meat ... but thats leading to something else.

Also wondering is there any websites or stalls that sell kirtan sohila and chaupi sahib posters in english translation .. (meaning.)

Also doing Jaapji sahib or Rehrass sahib what are the meanings of doing them, like doing kirtan sohila protects you from evil that can convey when you sleep.

Also whats the best time to do Hukanama, and where does Hukanama come from? is it simliar to christainity .. verse of the day.

Lastly, i dont believe in cast. i think it should be abolished and its stupid.. more so of the people that big there cast up.! :stupidme: :angry2: :pissed: but what does 'soggi' belong to? And does cast = your family name??

Thankyou SINGHS :strong: and KAURS. :luv: :khalsa2:

btw these emotions are wow. :cool2: :feelingfree: :mushybounce: :wub22: :bl:

I may be completely wrong but in the 101 (or is it 110) rehats of Guru Gobind Singh Ji they say "My Sikh will not eat his evening meal before he completes his nitnem". Can anyone confirm this? Either way I think it's a good one to adhere to. I'm sure you can survive an hour or so without eating!

Eating an hour or two before is simply for health and concentration issues.

If one tries to do path on a full stomach then they are most likely to fall asleep!!

Any activity be it physical or cognitive, is best done not on an empty hungry stomach or even a full stomach, but it would be more beneficial and accomplishable if done an hour or more after eating!

Rehat Maryada or Code of Conduct is a set of best practices.

You can have your own routine but those who follow Rehat achieve superior results.

Talks & discussions are useless.

It's better to go on trial for a week, then compare both lifestyles.

As for posters why not create your own, try

And Ardas is generally done at the end of prayers or Paath to beg forgiveness for mistakes.

Forget about veg & non-veg, first concentrate on prayers and contemplate Gurbani.

on the other hand being hungry and doing paath can make one have more dhan in what to eat later. :biggrin2:

Best to have a snack at around tea time 4pm, cup of tea and or a biscuit sounds good. couple of hours before Rehras Sahib ji etc.

As for the morning i dont think anyone gets up to eat before doing 5 banis, Naam simran etc, did read somewhere ( i think in a rehatnama or tankhnama) a sikh should not eat before doing Japji Sahib ji and Jaap Sahib ji, but now that would apply to the 5 banis and ardas.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • 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?
