Just out of curiousity is it possible to receive bad luck or any disadvantages from worshipping them ji?

Obviously Waheguru are the creator, and karm play a part, but how can it affect a persons life ji?

Well sister,

what is bad luck?

Or what is the worst thing which can happen to a jeev-atma?

The answer naturally is: being away from our beloved Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

So worshipping any other than Wahiguru, is the biggest disadvantage or bad luck by itself, which one gets in doing so.

Because we can become the rulers of the Trilok, or at most, reach and spend some time in Swarg or Baikunth, but never ever become one with those entities, gods, godesses, etc..

The Bani says:

Ekas bin sabh dandh hae. Without the One Lord Wahiguru, everything else is false, is filth.

Moreover:

Bahut janam vichurey teh Madhao, ehe janam Tumare lekhey.

In countless lives, we have done all sort of poojas, paths, japa, tapa, pilgrimages, bathings in so called sacred waters, etc... and the result is, we are still wandering aimlessly in the "chaurasee ka chakar", so dear Lord, this very present life I dedicate it in Your exclusive devotion.

And so, what is that blessed and unique devotion which purfies us from all our trishnas, sins, sanskaras, vaasnas, and ultimately guarantees our union with Him?

The Bani referring to this devotion which can be offered to Wahiguru and accepted in His Court, says:

Prabh ka Simran sabh tay oochaa.

Prabh ka Simran, man kee mael jaae.

Prabh ka Simran garb na baseh.

Within just these 3 lines above and in just few words, we can define the base and summary of Sikhee.

Sikhee is not complicated at all, rather it is the most simple, tender, and direct to Wahiguru´s abode.

To end, a bit more from Gurbani, as per means of the true Bhakti.

The Bani clearly says: Jin Har japeeya, se Har hoeeya.

You see, the Bani or Gurmat is perfect from all angles, it our "durmat" or deep ignorance, which makes us interpret the Bani wrongly.

That is the only reason, why we do so many other things, which we proudly think is our dharam, thus get away farther and farther from Wahiguru.

And in the bargain, we foolishly loose our very lives...and who knows if we will ever get another human form, or even, when will we get it, to dedicate oureslves at His Lotus Feet.

This present life is our time, this present life is our only chance, so let us take the anchor of His Naam alone, and get ferried away from this mayavee Bhavsagar, to our Nijh Ghar, Sach Khand, at His Lotus Feet.

Sat Sree Akal.

Everything which these gods have is given to them by Waheguru. They also ask Waheguru for all these powers that they have.

ब्रहम महेस सिध मुनि इंद्रा भगति दानु जसु मंगी ॥१॥
Barahm mahes siḏẖ mun inḏrā bẖagaṯ ḏān jas mangī. ||1||
Brahma, Shiva, adepts, silent sages and Indra, ask for the alms of the Lord's meditation and praise.
ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ, ਸ਼ਿਵਜੀ, ਕਰਾਮਾਤੀ ਪੁਰਸ਼, ਚੁਪ ਕਰੀਤੇ ਰਿਸ਼ੀ ਅਤੇ ਇੱਦਰ, ਸੁਆਮੀ ਦੇ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਅਤੇ ਕੀਰਤੀ ਦੀ ਖ਼ੈਰ ਮੰਗਦੇ ਹਨ।

sikhni777,

Nice words jee.

But I would say, these deities have their powers due to the role they have to play in the creation, not that they ask for it.

Just as law authorizes a policeman to catch a thief, or a judge to send someone to prison ....

In a similar way, Nature has given them(these gods) such attributes in order not to display them but to run the mayavee creation to an extent. That´s it.

Because as you very well say in a line below, they also ask for the alms for the Lord´s meditation and praise.

Then if so is the case, then naturally it makes no sense in worshipping them, but rather according to the Bani, directly to Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

Because as stated beautifully at the end of the Shabad quoted by you above, they too, if they want emancipation, they too have to come first in the human joonee, and grasp the Feet of a Gurmukh, of a Sadh Jana, who are one with Wahiguru Akal Purukh, and thus get the Amrit Naam from them.

Sat Sree Akal.

Here is the shabad which explains the fruits of worshipping these deities

at the time of granting salvation, where did you hide thyself.
ਮੁਕਤੀ ਦੇਣ ਦੇ ਵੇਲੇ ਤੂੰ ਕਿਥੇ ਆਪਦੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਲੁਕਾ ਲੈਨੀ ਹੈਂ?
गुरमति राम नाम गहु मीता ॥
Gurmaṯ rām nām gahu mīṯā.
Under the Guru instruction, O my friend Hold fast thou fast to the Lord's Name.
ਗੁਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਤਾਬੇ, ਹੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਿੱਤਰ! ਤੂੰ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਘੁੱਟ ਕੇ ਫੜੀ ਰੱਖ।
प्रणवै नामा इउ कहै गीता ॥५॥२॥६॥

Prays Namdev so says the Geeta as well
ਨਾਮ ਦੇਵ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਗੀਤਾ ਭੀ ਇਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਹੀ ਆਖਦੀ ਹੈ।

    • 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.
