jaikaara

i know dear bro ..have been going through stress so am not able to focus. I will have to get up

i want to start, i am 41 and highly obese weighing 107 kilos , i have tried some trainers but they are young so dont understand the transitioning the body has to go through. if you can please guide please let me know

Thank you

yes just trying to force myself , the situation is like a spoilt child not wanting to go to school

these days i am experiencing the same

just something what i have felt and a little bit of experience of this state of mind.

i feel he speaks the harsh truth, very practical reasons which people do not want to believe in.

i personally feel that just like there are some degrees which are not achieved just by doing study for hours for eg. say if you study for 8 hours a day it still doesn't guarantee that you would be a doctor. Similarly numbers of Jaap cannot guarantee that you would be a sidh. It is still considered as a abhyas. The Kathakaars give those examples since they want to inspire the sangat to be engrossed in Naam. Someone who does Jaap abhyaas would be lost in meditation and would lose the count. Naam Ras gives you peace and tranquil, you stop worrying about things happening around. Who will count for you ? The Jaap is nirantar inside...you will want to lose count. Siddhis come and are a blessing of Akaal. However i personally feel that energy will only reside in that body that can hold it. There are peoople who may start seeing things and predicting future but then along with these capabilities comes haume, arrogance. This arrogance kills abhyas with time. So rather than focussing on magic , i personally want to request you to focus on abhyaas. Let Parmatma be the decision maker, He always is , but as for now we feel we would do so and so and we would become so and so. My 2 cents bro, Waheguru Ang Sang Sahaai.

Yes you dry grind..i personally feel don't get into grinding it all together and storing hassle.Rather just grind a few strands adding a drop of water..and you can grind it to a fine texture. It would be easier to apply and retain. There wouldn't be non commercial kesar .. everything that's sold is commercial.

bro i know a friend who applied kesar tilak for a specific spiritual purpose. I consulted him yesterday and what he would do was just grind 1-2 strands adding a small drop of water regularly . He also suggested that you could get pure kesar and grind it all together using a mortal and pestle and store it . When ever you want to apply tilak just take a small quantity and add a small drop of water.

Kota Kot dhanvaad hai mere veer...Waheguru sadaa hi tuhannu charhdikala ch rakkhe

It was a minor clash but limited to an area..some Singh slapped a small girl selling something outside the Gurdwara..

Sure veer

there is a video of one of the Singhs of Charhdikala jatha taking santhia from Giani Gurvinder Singh ji Nangli wherein the Singh mentions about his abhyas experience

You can watch Namdharis doing Hawan on youtube

Sikhism is an Indic religion so the base is going to be the same.

how are they different?

Puratan maryada does have HOM/HAVAN..Brahm Kawach mentions

if i were to go by what Giani Thakur Singh ji has repeatedly said in his Bachans, a hair cut person certainly can. I am not a kesdhaari however with the kirpa of Guru Sahib the Bani of Brahm Kawach is recited by a lowly person like me too. Also the Brahm Kawach Bani says, Ihh Kawach Brahma ko 32sa parrhe jo nitt Chhatri Rann Jeet leh Nirbheet rahe Ridh Sidh paave Atri, Leh Bed Bhed jo yah padhe Bipra Baisya Dhan Sukh Sampata, Dhan Dhaam tan arog sundar paaye sukh akampta... Which means Bipra or Baisya (Non Sikhs) can also read the Kawach.

With due respect to your devotion, of whatever little i have known of Sikhi is. There is respect for the Avatars however worship of any individual Avatar is not in the concept. When you come across names of the various Avatars in Sri Aad Guru Granth Sahib ji, the Bhagats and Guru Sahibs refer to them in context of Akaal Parmatma. Also in Sanatan Dharam, the Vedas focus on Nirankaar is what is i have heard. I have heard my father using the terms Microcosm and Macrocosm. The Avatars are the Microcosm is what i have understood.

What is your pain about veer ji ? can you share ? why do you feel hopeless ?

Indonesia and Malaysia have Southern Indian influence . Punjabi influence i havent heard of .

it seems to be Portuguese influence to me

Veere sangat forgets that the person is a kathakaar..they do sewa as if he is some great Guru..i somehow cannot do what they do ..if the kathakaar is aged at the most i will touch his feet.

What happened and if it at all it happened wouldnt be supported but what plans do you have to stop it ? Can there be a farman to stop meeting ladies in loneliess for these Gianis ? What steps are you wanting to have a the Sangat take to stop any damage fruther?
