Simran with mala

Recommended Posts

Is there any significance to doing simran with a mala? I do it with a mala, with every bead say waheguru. If I dont use mala I cant concentrate.  Is it just a habit that iv got my self into? 

Another thing about 10mins into doing it my body starts feeling weaker/lighter it feels like my limbs are shaking, like a slight vibration. To stop that I lean myself against a wall or sofa.  

Another thing dont know why but my ears start popping!  A bit like when your in a aeroplane!  I hear these pops. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? 

Does anyone else have these things happen as well.

The being able to concentrate is the biggest reason for a Male. Otherwise get so sidetracked with thoughts, some might forget. Also it's a time out to the mind, like just have to do this amount. It's not forever

thanks for the video.  It really does help you concentrate, I'm thinking of getting a kara with beads as well

You eventually want to move past doing simran with a mala and start using your breath as the mala. Think of the mala as training wheels on a bike, it helps you in the beginning, but you eventually want to be able to ride free without the restrictions of the training wheels. Using a mala will restrict you from reaching the more upper avashtas. Its a great tool at the beginning but you want to eventually move on from it.

It is called Naam Abhyiaas for a reason! It is a exercise. Everyone has a different reaction, I have experienced this before.

Yh, Ears popping or thumping, throat pain and headaches. I’ve been through these when I started my abhiyaas not that long ago. You’ll soon go past them. 
 

a gursikh told me it’s just your body adjusting to the naam or jot which is beginning to manifest. 
 

some people see lights or get  some pains in their stomach; some even have toilet problems. It’s just your body adjusting it’s self.

    • 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.
