im 16 ? but im gonna take amrit once my studies are over. I dont think i can handle paath and studies together. So i do some paath but not all the banis. But as a 16 y/o i deffo have decreased lust and anger due to paath.

Yeah, i mean you hear so many horror stories about people breaking Amrit, i think in todays age once you know you will be committed and can keep your Amrit then go for it, but if you know you can't then perhaps wait. 

In the old days it was different, today there are so many distractions.

Agreed. I have seen many small kids in the local gurudwara taking amrit, idk why but it doesnt feel right. In their teenage it will be extemely hard for them. I did so much dumb stuff in the past 2 years that if i had taken amrit i would have broken it. I feel kids should only take amrit once they are 16 or 17 plus. Before that will not be worth it, and sikhi will be a burden on the persons head. Furthermore, the nice thing I have seen with some moneh folks is that they raise their kids as keshadharis (not all but some i personally know)

At the end of Brahm Kavach, we read the last line of dohra goes "paatth sava laakh havan kar jeet jung tab hog". At a basic level, it seems like it means "when you do 1,25,000 paatths of Brahm Kavach along with the Havan, you shall be victorious in the battlefield". There are videos of Nihangs doing just this. But I've heard as per SGGS ji, Havan is not in line with Gurmat. Why do Nihung Singh light the fire? Someone please reply and dispell my doubt. Thankyou.

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh

The following is my personal opinion. Not based on any maryada, granth or samprada:  Gurbani will always be enough. But some people to help control their mind will use other sciences/disciplines.

For example if a study came out saying aromatherapy was really good for your health and mental wellbeing, I am sure some sikhs will start doing nitnem with essence of eucalyptus wafting in the room. 

Similarily, during the time of hardships, fighting the mughal empire, sikhs should try to use anything that would give them an edge over the mughals. Anything that woukd help them improve. Nihangs and sikhs were surrounded by the yogic sciences/disciplines. Like ayurveda saying bhang keeps a person cool in the summer heats and battlefield. Havans help concentrate the power of a mantar 10 fold as the mind wonders less if it can stare at the fire. 

Also did the Gurus want us to stop these havan etc rituals because 1. They didnt work or 2. They did work but were being misused or 3. They trapped people in the superficial not allowing them to go beyond rituals into self reflection? Or 4. These rituals were used to worship entities other than Akal purukh. 

If its 2,3, or 4. Easily fixed with gurbani and vichaar. If its 1, then we gots to elevate sikhs slowly but surely. 

So lets not be like the muslims, this is an idol lets smash it. Its forbidden. Even if its 1000s of years old. Its too dangerous. Some uneducated villagers might be influenced to adopt it as a ritual. And think its part of the religion. Lets codemn it strongly. These ppl are heretics whoever engage in it.

People used to say sikhi is against yoga. It is against using yoga to unite with God  (as a spiritual practice) but not as an exercise regime.

had a talk with Gurwinder Singh nangli ji.

The dohra " paathh sawa lakh havan kar...." was written by giani gyaan Singh and there is no need to read it.

Thanks ji.. bade chir da shanka duur ho gya ?

    • 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.
