Bhai Anokh Singh Babbar was doing Rehras Sahib after his eyes were taken out and he had metal rods from his feet to his knees. 
 

The ideal Gursikh would be able to do Bhagti even in the most harshest times. 

I'm all for Bhagti 24 hrs a day. What I'm saying is while showering giving proper respect and focus on accomplishing Shudh Nitnem. Not sure I used the right word there. 

Like. I've done Aikido in the shower. I've done practice sword cuts in the shower. If it was the depth of my focus in training that'd be kinda limited. Not saying I didn't do a good cut, or have a great experience, but is that the same as getting clean first, dressed in your particular attire, sitting with full focus and doing extremely focused Nitnem?

I do Simran and Kirtan in the shower all the time. Just asking the op and subsequent posters, do you mean do your Nitnem in the shower? You'd need on demand hot water.

Do you think Nitnem should be done that way?

Or just any Gurbani for the joy that Gurbani brings period?

Actually it depends on the Sikh.

Akjs believe that nitnem must be done sitting all in one go. And must be done outloud similar to during amrit sinchaar.

But thankfully I wasn't told this by the panj cuz I do my nitnem whilst driving. Not ideal but what can you do?

Dear All,

SSA. I have a question. Can we do Paath during taking a bath? 

Of course it can. Just like Naam Jaap can be done anywhere at any time. God is All, nothing and no place is holy. Our bodies are Gods temple, we have chakras, the infinite pools of energy in our temple. You can do paath, you can talk to god, do naam simran when youre in the bath, walking, sitting etc. When you're working, you're doing seva so its naam anyway.

    • 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.
