Vaheguru ji ka Khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh 

If I'm not wrong 12 to 6 is amritvela.About 1130 we are supposed to get up and do ishnaan.Then during amritvela we do 5 banis,2 to 3 hours of simran,Asa di vaar and if we have time other banis(E.g Sukhmani Sahib)

Edit:I just realised I did not answer the question.?.If I'm not wrong 3 to 4 is strongest.I heard someone say that 3 to 4 is gold,4 to 5 is silver and 5 to 6 is bronze.

Bhul Chuk Maf?

Brother, is it quite common for people to fall asleep when doing naam simran? If so, does it mean, we haven’t done any progress in our abhiyas? What becomes of people like us that fall asleep while remembering God at Amritvela? Do we go to hell? Can you pls answer these questions, as I am really anxious to know.

CHaamCHrick Jee,

how would you explain if a child goes to school but instead of paying attentio to what is being taught in the class, falls asleep or keeps on looking at the walls or the ceiling.

How can ever that child learn something and become a graduate one day?

Well, that is as per worldy "learning", but in the path of bhakti, Waheguru is not like that, He is a boundless ocean of love and mercy, thus for sure He will give us better envoirements in future lives to evolve spiritual wise.

But then, if He has already blessed us as human beings, why not make the most of it right now?

Just tell me, when we go to watch a movie, or a concert, or whatever worldy entertainment, do we fall asleep?

No, isn´t it?

Then why when we engage in His bhakti?

You see, if we fall asleep, means that either we are not doing our spiritual practices when we  are fresh and alert, or, we have not even a tiny  value of His Omniscience and Omnipresence.

Jut go through the lives of Guru Sahiban or Bhagat Jan, and try to get inspiration of how He should be loved and given our devotion.

See the love for example of Fifth Patshahee for His Father Guru Ram Das in the shabad : mera man lochay Guru darshan...

I saw Guru Sahib as a really bright jot. 

How long did your experience last?

Not sure if it is common veerji.I heard a katha that if while doing simran or path and u fall asleep if when you wake up in the morning immediately the first thing u say is the shabad pr continuing the simran.Then in dharamraj court it is written that whole night u were doing simran or a shabad.If u fall asleep during Amritvela it wont cause u to go hell.

Bhul Chuk Maf ??

When I say I fall asleep, I am ashamed to say this,  but I can actually hear myself snoring! I feel really very bad after this and sometimes I just want to give up but I can’t do that. May be I am not meant to wake up at amrit wale, I don’t know.

Doing Simran mind becomes calm. Heart, breathing and blood flow slow down, it’s quite natural to feel sleepy. A cold ishnaan before starting Simran will help

I have warm ishnaan and do my banies first and then Simran. To be honest, I don’t even know when I fall asleep!

I am trying my best but it doesn’t seem to be working. I have tried different times before 6 am, but I still fall asleep.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • 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.

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?
