Why do we do parkarma clockwise and why is it considered taboo to go anti clockwise even at Darbar sahib if you go past a certain point you have to back all the way around.

That is all brahm, all superstitons, can u or someone answer,is there any place there where is not a trace of Wahiguru?

Any either way we may go,only Wahiguru will be met.

But we live in a society of rules and regulations, so in order not to crratr a scene, sometimes it is better to overlook it,as long as we know it is not going to harm anybody

its a puratan maryada to keep a person reciting bani on your right and always infront of you

our guru's followed it rigirously

same principal lies when doing parikrama

people use their manmat in dargahi maryada ,

same were the people present in guru sahibs time , same they are now

they who do will have to answer it later at dargah

follow maryada and leave everything else on guru sahib

Why do we follow traffic rules Left/Right hand drive, to avoid Chaos as well as Accidents.

Same logical principle applies to Darbar Sahib.

lol must be one of a very few places in india where they follow rules or traffic rules. good question some people just dont know the reasons behind a particular rule/ tradition and so far no one has given a clear answer, i dont know why either.

The right side is considered spiritual and more positive.

It's always west to east in terms of our human conduction in free will.

The right sided-ness is considered more positive and good action, although most people are quick to jump on mark of superstition. But all these superstitions originate from religions.

Even jesus says enter the temple from the right or eastern door !

Anhad shabads are or should be heard from the Right ear if they are the divine sounds.

Gurmukhi is written from West to east, or starting from left to right.

In english etiquette, the man always walks on the right side of woman, walks around dining table towards right, puts right foot first, right hand first..etc.....etc..

Going RIGHT is the RIGHT way....and that's all there is to it

The RIght side is considered more positive and spiritual.and left is more ego and self.

We write gurmukhi from left to right, we read from left to right.or west to east.

All around the world the right side is considered GOOD and Positive action from our free will. Most people are quick to jump to the superstition wagon, but even these mostly originate from religion.

Even jesus said enter the temple from the right or eastern door.

The Anhad shabad are listened and heard from the RIGHT ear if they are divine.

In posh English etiquette a man walks on the RIGHT of woman, opens door with right hand, puts right foot and right hand first..etc..

On circular dining table he leaves by going clockwise. Puts right shoe on first, right glove...etc..

basically RIGHT is the right way.

This right handedness is popular throughout the world.

I also believe that the batta in amrit sanchar is stirred in right sided clockwise motion as well. and the kara is usually worn on right hand if posiible

Right side is always more superior. Therefore, we walk from the left to the right. Nihangs argue their shastar should always be closer to guru sahib and thats why some walk the other way round.

im sure there is a hadith saying a person should always dress from the right, and enter a house/building right foot first. maybe thats where all of this "right" stuff has come from.

the truth is it means nothing to go clockwise. it's just a tradition, nihangs walk anti because of their martial stance with kirpan.

When there was an open parikrama at Darbar Sahib, I'm not even sure that sangat walk the parikrama. Darbar Sahib layout back in the day was very different from today.

    • 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.
