In this situation, IMHO, you can follow the timings of Punjab.

There are two options:

• If the sunset is at 6:30 pm in Punjab, you can do your meditation or Sri Reharaas Sahib jee after that time (that is 6:30 pm GMT).
• When it is 6:30 pm in Punjab, your time will be 1 pm GMT. Therefore, you can do meditation after that time (anytime between 1 pm GMT till sunset). Nowadays the sunset in Punjab is around 7:10 pm (1:40 pm GMT). Around that time, Sri Rehraas Sahib jee Paath will commence at Sri Harmandar Sahib jee and other historic Gurudwaras in Punjab. 

 

Bhul chuk maaf

i was given this advice and i believe it, Har Vele Simran.  When you start doing Simran you will miss the feeling when you cant do it. 

Hnji veerji

daas always tries to do that

But only with Maharaj ji di kirpa one can do that

Sri Rehraas Sahib is meant to be recited after sunset, but before 11 pm. So, if the sunset is at 9 pm, then 8 pm - 10 pm would be a good time for meditation.

There are three Sandheyas in a day, Amritvela, near afternoon and near sunset. Most likely, these are the best times for meditation.

Other than that, whenever a person feels like doing Simran, he should do it.

 

Bhul chuk maaf 

Thanks bro. Wasn’t sure about evening 

thanks for that ji

I know about the 12-4 is best for Simran in the morning. What about evening?

Correct me if I'm wrong but Sikhi doesn't have a physical 'naam daan' . Naam is achieved by destruction of ego via prema bhagti.

Exactly 

We get “Gur mantar” through 5 pyaare

Naam is present in us.  With Guru’s kirpa it becomes pargat. 

We cannot get NAAM from outside. 

Would someone please share there reviews whoever stood in this place and did bhagti as per they teach? Also could someone please tell me what is one asked to do in this period?

You would need to go to Guru Maneyo Granth Gurdwara in Slough. (221 Bath Rd, Slough SL1 4BA). They generally hold weekly Sunday morning divans there.

This is your mind playing games on you. Everything is possible. All you need is an alarm to wake you up and the will - which you have to tell yourself - you can wake up. 

 

You are focussing on what you cannot be able to do much more than on what you are actually able to achieve. This could be leading you into depression. Sometimes we are trying hard to achieve something, but cannot. 

Have you tried alternate days - that means one day Guradwara - the next day try your simran at home to see if you can achieve better results. 

It is important to take time to have that 10 minute walk at lunch time to freshen up and clear your mind. Do your simran at work esp if it is building work - you may be able to recite some shabad or do simran while working. This helps to prepare your mind and stabilise it from having thoughts like I cant do it later on. learn to relax and perhaps set your alarm to your favourite shabad which will motivate you to wake up at amrit vela. 

Usually it is by some trial and era that we stumble upon the path. So dont be scared to juggle your routine to get to what suits you most. The thinking is all in the brain remember. We can achieve much more than we actually do - if it were not the brain pulling us back and telling us we can't. 

May be you are right. I should be strong mentally. My mind is playing some games. I love doing simran even though I haven't had any major experience so far but I trust guru sahib will bless me for sure some day. I want increase my daily routine of doing simran. 

Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh 

I am feeling like really stuck somewhere form past 2 months and I am very disappointed with my daily routine. I want to get away from certain things like talk less, eat less and stuff like that. I now work 7 days a week as i am buying a house soon, my mortgage is approved already and i am working hard to arrange the maximum deposi btw construction(groundworker) is my occupation. I go to Gurudwara every day apart from weekends and do my simran abhiyaas in the top hall which is empty every day almost. I try to meditate for like minimum of 45 mins then i do a bit of sangat. I am not really happy with my daily routine. If I want to wake up early and do my abhiyaas and nitnem I will have to stop going gurudwara during evening and I don't want to do that cus sangat naal v abhiyaas teh boht assar hunda hai. I feel like crying ? i am very upset deep inside. I want to move ahead but I don't know what to do. Please koi gurumukh sajjan daas nu sahi raasta dikha deve. Please.......

All i ate last night was jam bread butter  I slept roughly around 9.  I just want to do meditation during amrit vela without falling asleep. I normally do meditation during the evening but amrit vela has more importance, so i want to do as much meditation i can durning amrit vela. 

 

delibeli replied:

I hope you realise that bread, butter and jam are not at all conducive to meditation or spiritual way of life!  Bread and jam are both very high carbs which will induce stupor if not deep sleep accompanied with heavy snoring!  Butter on the other hand is very high fat which will remain in your system for a long time because our bodies take ages to break down fats into simple fatty acids before they are digested!  So, don't eat high carb, high fat diet before retiring for bed, not even 2 hours before! Eating these 2 hours before bed is simply not a wise step.  

Eat lentils, one small chapati, few veges and two tablespoons half full of home made yoghurt.  Keep it very light, only in very small quantities.  Chapati is ideal as it does not have yeast in it unlike bread.  Lentils will provide protein and amino acids when combined with chapati.  Our brain needs amino acids to function and remain alert.  Veges will provide vitamins necessary for our brains and yoghurt contains enzymes to keep the lining of our stomachs healthy, for the producion of enough digestive enzymes to digest our food.  Keep your evening meal very simple, avoid too many spices, butter, ghee or cooking oils!  Moderation is the key.  Don't eat too much garlic, onions or pickles, they will cause restlessness, your mind will not be able to focus, making it very hard for you to sit for meditation.  

Stick to fresh fruits, nuts, very low fat organic milk with few vegetables and plenty of water instead of regular Indian diet as mentioned above; it is not conducive to spiritual path at all. I simply cannot eat normal Indian food and sit down to do paat or simran.  I had to change my diet to achieve results!  

 

Yeh veerji you got a point. Thanks a lot i will try to change my entire diet to see if i can get even better results. 

Thanks

anything less than 5-6 hours could affect the body

I tried eating earlier last night about 2 hours earlier than what i normally do. I woke up 2:30 in morning but i couldn't stand up. This is the time i actually want to wake up. My body was tired today but my eyes were open for a long time. All i ate last night was jam bread butter  I slept roughly around 9.  I just want to do meditation during amrit vela without falling asleep. I normally do meditation during the evening but amrit vela has more importance, so i want to do as much meditation i can durning amrit vela.
