History Behind Rehraas Sahib

Still listening to Katha on it. From what I can read, sgpc added chapuai sahib. 

I've yet to find anything in Gurbani to disuade you from reciting full Anand Sahib. I'll keep looking and if I find something I'll tell you bro. But I have a feeling after two hours of Katha the answer is going to be the same. 

appreciate the work

the reason for my sankoch and caution on this matter is primarily because there isn't any historical reference to someone doing rehraas with full anand sahib, not even nihang singhs

one of my friends said bhai mani singh gutka sahib might have done it that way but he isn't too sure, and I thought taksali nitnem was based off of bhai mani singh ji and akali baba deep singh ji's gutka sahibs 

I have found only one example of a sikh doing this

(9) Sri Rehras Sahib with Anand Sahib (40 Pauria) - Giani Mahinder Singh "Khalsa Ji" at Home Dudley - YouTube

I don't know why, it seems too weird to me to skip 85% of one of the panj bania

hmm I sent a message thanking you but topic moderators don't let me release stuff as fast but its been almost three hours now

anyhow, appreciate your feedback, the reason for my sankoch and caution on this matter is primarily because there isn't any historical reference to someone doing rehraas with full anand sahib, not even nihang singhs

one of my friends said bhai mani singh gutka sahib might have done it that way but he isn't too sure, and I thought taksali nitnem was based off of bhai mani singh ji and akali baba deep singh ji's gutka sahibs so I'm not sure why they would deviate from those either

I have found only one example of a sikh doing this on youtube, for which the link was sent in a prior message

It just seems way too weird for me to skip 85% of one of the panj bania you get what I mean

on the playlist, it is #26 video titled saacha naam mera adhaaro

around the 37:32 mark he explains what he explained in the very first "dhan su kaagad kalam dhan", that rehraas is a small version of panj bania 

where sodar is from japuji, more bani on importance of naam (sort of like shabad hajaaze), than so purakh talks about who we are worshipping and the qualities of that being (like sri jaap sahib), then more shabads on importance of naam and humility/love sort of like tav prasad swaiye with "saach kehu sun leho sabhai, jin prem kiyo tin hi prabh payo", then bir ras chaupai, and mini-anand sahib 

for the purpose because sikhi is often repetitive of the concepts, and all of sggs connects back to japji sahib which in turn connects back to beej mantra/mool mantra since our brain is sooo forgetful and which is why we have shabad da bhandaar dhan dhan sri guru granth sahib ji maharaj 

refreshing to get a perspective of simplicity and clarity from bhai jugraj singh 

and he didn't mention anything about the negatives of reading full anand sahib and instead he has only said often in other videos as well that sgpc rehit is the minimum and we should strive for more bania (like his benti in his last video released march 2017 where he does benti to include a friend for every one of panj bania) 

only negative bout this I can think of personally is disobeying Guru Khalsa Panth and it's decision in 1945 or whenever the sgpc rehit maryada was agreed upon, but in that frame of mindset so does budha dal panth, thakt hazur sahib dakhni nihang, nanaksar, taksal, etc.

    • 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?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
