18th Century Dal Panth's Morning Nitnem Had Chandi Di Vaar!

[shastarSingh]

Dal Panth in 18th century used to conduct 2 types of amrit sanchars.

One for civilian population and one for new soldiers enterning Dal Panth.

In the amrit sanchar for new soldiers, strong rehit was given by Punj Pyaras and amrit sanchar was conducted in the presence of Aad Guru Darbaar, Dasam Guru Darbaar and Sarbloh Guru Darbaar.

In this amrit sanchar, Punj pyare used to give the order of doing 6 banis in the morning nitnem and the 6th bani was Sri Chandi di Vaar.

Dhan Dhan Dal Panth!

I know that Namdharis also do chandi di vaar in their nitnem... that was an aside BTW just illustrating that the concept is not so implausible .

[Guest Jacfsing2]

Provide sources please.

@ShastarSingh has never provided sources, you really expect him to do it now?

Two Amrit Sanchars? Where you getting that from? But you are correct about importance of Chandi Di Vaar. All Sikhs should read it daily.

In amrit sanchar for civilians, bana was not a mandatory requirement. The amritdharis were told to wear modest clothing and if possible bana.

In amrit sanchar for soldiers, bana was a mandatory requirement.

Some Dal Panth jathas used to give rehit of very very very strong sarbloh bibek pehra for the new soldiers joining the jatha.

Dietary bibek within the Dal Panth was way too strong as compared to the dietary bibek of civilian amritdharis.

So what is the difference in terms of avastha / spirituality? Can the civilians not attain turiya padh?

[shastarSingh]

Khalsa Panth had loads of mahaan gursikhs with very high avastha both in Dal Panth as well as in civilian population.

More rehit u keep, more simran u do, more charrdikala u get

[shastarSingh]

Even today, the Chakarvarti Dal Panth keeps extremely strong rehit and extremely strong pehra of sarbloh bibek which includes water from well/river.

Baba Surjit Singh ji also served the 13th Jathedar (Commander) Akali Baba Santa Singh ji, and seeing his love and devotion, Akali Baba Santa Singh ji appointed Baba Surjit Singh ji as his second in command. This meant that Baba Surjit Singh would be in charge of thechakkravarti Dal, or the moving Battalion, which consisted of the Guru’s horses, and Singhs. They would go village to village performing Akhand Paths (continuous scriptural recitals), and doing Amrit Parchar (initiation ceremony into Khalsa). In this Dal was the strictest of bibek or physical cleanliness, which meant all food must be cooked in fire wood, in sarbloh (iron utensils), all water must be from a well or river (tap water was prohibited), and even cleaning of teeth had to be done with a woodbrush, and not a plastic toothbrush (no chemical products are allowed in Buddha Dal). The encampment was ordered by Guru Gobind Singh never to stay in one place for more than three days. This is a very difficult tradition or maryada, and even during and after 1984 when Nihang Singhs were being hunted down by some corrupt Police and Army, and the whole of the Punjab was in chaos, the brave Baba Surjit Singh single handedly kept this tradition from breaking.

Dhan Dhan Dal Panth!

Dhan Dhan Akali Baba Surjeet Singh Ji!
