Sangat Ji, I know some people who are able to read Japji Sahib in about 9-10 minutes. They say they listen to themselves the whole time and they understand and hear themselves repeating the bani. Is this wrong to repeat bani fast?

Vaheguru Ji.

I listen to fast bani while reading it. This way I get the pronunciation right.

It is good to do it as long as they have full dhyaan and have full understanding on what they are reading.

Some abhyasi gursikhs can read sukhmani Sahib in 20 minutes. But we must also reflect on gurbani. Read each line and don’t start singing.

Woah! They must be speaking at super human speeds!!!!

Fastest I've heard is 30 minutes for Sukhmani Sahib by a Singh from Hitchin (Herts) and this was back in '99 at the 300th anniversary of Khalsa Sirjana at Anandpur Sahib.  To read Gurbani faster it is read in the 'man' without moving tongue. Singh's who become experts at this then overlap with audible simran or vice versa so get double laha as a result concentration increases. 

My grandfather told me of a paathi Singh who could read one side of an ang with a single breath during raul, so imagine the speeds.

That's mental. Sikhi proving science every single day.

I've tried reading Japji Sahib quite fast and I'm reading a lot more Japji Sahib now but is it wrong that I read more and sometimes my mind wanders for a few seconds at a time? It wasn't so bad at the beginning but as I started doing more my brain became more tired so I would still only wander for a few seconds but just it would happen more times whilst reading Japji Sahib. Any help as to if this is okay - is it okay that my mind wanders but I try to bring it back even though I think my mind wandering isn't totally caused by reading fast's. I think it's that I got really tired as I was coming towards to the end of my set goal so my mind waiver more but I was reading fast anyway so it just seemed twice as worse.

Why are you reading it fast? Any reason for this?

What’s more important is the love you read it with and that you are listening to what Gurbani is saying.

If you’re comfortable with reading it fast and not just doing it as a competition or rituals for the sake of getting so many done without respecting Gurbani, then ok. 

Your mind is wandering because you’re getting tired or maybe wanting to getting the paath done by a certain time, therefore you’re not getting a chance to listen to what Gurbani is saying.

    • 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.
