WJKK WJKF,

I want to become a granthi and serve my guru but I don't know how to. I don't read fluent gurmukhi, sometimes skip nitnem, and don't know a lot of gurbani. I live in US and don't have kesh. I don't know kirtan. I don't go to any gurudwara Punjabi school and I cant go. What can I do to become one. Please help me. I really need it.

WJKK WJKF,

I want to become a granthi and serve my guru but I don't know how to. I don't read fluent gurmukhi, sometimes skip nitnem, and don't know a lot of gurbani. I live in US and don't have kesh. I don't know kirtan. I don't go to any gurudwara Punjabi school and I cant go. What can I do to become one. Please help me. I really need it.

veer ji! that's great that waheguru ji has blessed you with the desire to become a granthi because most of us would run away from even the thought of becoming a granthi!

firstly what I would suggest is do what you can so -

1) you should be able to keep your kesh easily

2) start making nitnem your daily routine without fail

3) start learning extra banis i.e. sukhmani sahib, do arthi after your reharas

obviously its going to VERY important that you do your paat sudh so try learning santhiya at home

^^^ Giani Takhur Singh ji is a reliable source!

also listen to Giani takhur singh jis larivaar katha on www.gurbaniupdesh.com because then you'll be able to understand what your read hence you'll do it with pyaar/sharda and also you'll be prepared to answer any questions.....

Then you could start doing sehaj paat maybe ? this way you will learn a lot.

^^^ this is a link to kids from baru sahib doing the most beautiful sehaj paat and the best thing is they have subtitles so even if you are unable to get a pothi sahib you can use this! But if are lucky enough to get a pothi then you can follow the paat on there!

As for kirtan - I'm trying to learn the vajja myself so what I would suggest is that if you don't know anything at all then that's great because you can start from step one!

choose what you want to learn - vajja or tabla or both

or visit www.kirtancollegemp.com

then just start helping out at a gurdwara and hopefully they'll let you join!

I know this may seem a lot but just remember at every step you'll be putting one step closer to Waheguru ji and Waheguru ji will run 1000 steps towards you!

So in other words just keep putting the effort in and Waheguru ji will make sure that the outcome is right!

bhul chuk maaf and God bless you!

please let us know how you get on because it'll just make us feel proud of you even more :)

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Where do you live (not the address, just general vicinity)? There may be facilities in your area you are not aware of.

But as Bhai Savinderpal Singh says - why the sudden urge? From the other post, you also have an urge to do Simran - are you Amritdhari? If not, that would be the first step to getting anywhere with both of these requests.

    • 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.
