This thread has a discussion.

I think the powers just show themselves when you try to do things. Bhai Rama JI in his book says that he was able to foretell things like the weather.

These powers come from Waheguru and they sort of help you on your path to further spirituality.

These powers follow the people who follow God's commands of regular and devotional prayer.

They are at the command - basically they are like slaves to the people who pray regularly. However you are supposed to ignore them as they will hamper the path to further spiritual success.

Kabir Ji, Baba Farid Ji dhiya dhiya stories have many examples of these powers - and the bhagats actually just ignored them. Personally reading all about these stories I think has given me a deeper understanding about many things in Sikhi and generally how spirituality works.

You may use these powers only if God commands you to use them.

I was recently reading a part on Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Notice how the events unfold in this story with Guru Ji not even once having used any of his powers.

Someone once wrote their personal experience with ridhi sidhis, i think it was on this forum. i cant recall it exactly how he wrote it but i will write what i remember

the singh was a great naam abyasi, did a crazy amount of simran. he wrote one day at school as he was talking to people, suddenly he knew what they were going to say. He could read there mind. he told this to his friends and they didn't believe him, so he demonstrated his power to them and they were convinced that he had the powers. Couple more people found out and after demonstrating his power his fame grew in the school. soon loads of people were after him, his ego begain to kick in.

one day more people came to him to see if its true he had these powers. he was going to show them his power but when he tryed nothing happened and the people started saying he was lying. soon the crowds left him and he was left alone with his super ego. he tryed to gain the powers back but to no avail

this is what i remembered he wrote. i dont know if i remembered it exactly , maybe someone can find the story. it might have been under gupt section

One day after Simran Subedar Bagel Singh was resting after his simran. His Astral body aka Sookham sareer jet out from his body through the roof. Also it could go through physical objects, travelled and came back to his body. He wrote quiet a few books on Simran and his visions of Guru Sahibs.

Ridhhi Siddhis are powers which one gets, either by present birth kamaee in meditation, or from past births kamaee with a little effort to be put in this very one.

They usually come and meet those who do bhakti of gods, as they themselves are the reservoir of them.

But they do not even dare to come near, those who have Wahiguru as their main aim only.

For example, Ravan did so much bhakti of Brahma and Shiva, he got so much powers that he became the ruler of the three worlds, but he could not control his mind or vaasnas, though he remained wicked and ultimately died like a dog on the street ....

Usually seen, when one does bhakti of any other entity except Wahiguru, when they are satisfied with your devotion, they appear and the first thing they tell you is: I am satisfied with your bhakti, ask for whatever you want....

On the contrary, Wahiguru´s Naam is so pure and paviter, that forget having His darshan, but just by repeating it, no matter how sinner you are, it will unfold itself in us, and remove all the filth accumulated on us since we stepped into this mayaee creation, and make us as pure as Himself with His grace, and finally, allow us to merge in Him.

Sangat Jee, is there anything in the whole triloki creation compared to the beant wadeeayee of our beloved Wahiguru Akal Purukh?

Wah wah, dhan dhan, Wahiguru Akal Purukh Sachay Patshah.

Sat Sree Akal.

Adding to this Bhaji. I believe that is why our Guru Sahib's didn't actively practice the powers they possessed. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji I believe, refused to perform miracles/ridhi-sidhi for Aurangzeb even though Aurangzeb said to do it.

I believe they did use it, but it wasn't actively like the legends you quotes. They were happy living with the Naam alone. They didn't use it to gain advantages in wars and stuff.

What others believe or not, I am not much concerned.

But that much I will surely say, I believe, our Guru Sahibans are the embodiment of Naam or Shabad, in short, Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

To perform miracles or displaying powers, is generally going against the Laws of Nature, and Guru Sahibans, or Gurmukhs can not ever go against the very laws, which are His Hukum, by which the whole of the creation is running at all levels.

They (Saints, Gurmukhs) are not corrupted or greedy like we the rest of beings, in order to manipulate things to their favour/ tastes.

They live by the philosophy : Tera Bhaana meetha laage.

Which means, Saas saas simroh Gobind, and I am happy at all times by abiding in your will.

Sat Sree Akal.

Very true. Being such as Baba Atal Rai brought back the dead and Guru Sahib was displeased by this. It just shows that real Saints have this power but their love for the Almighty is one of such a level that they will not interfere with the Divine will of the Lord

      All Gurdware should be like this

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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.

      Self care of hair

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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.

      Nidar Singh Nihang X The Ranveer show podcast

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      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.

      Why are starched turbans hated?

      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?

      30th May over 6th June?

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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.
