regarding sat1176 link, in which bhai sahib describes focsing on the nij padh between the eyes about a quarter inch inside, he specifically mentions not to "kich ke dyan" which I translate as forcibly applying dhyan, he describes an alternative method of focusing on nij padh which I could not understand in the video. Could anyone clarify? 

Thanks

I have recently used Nippon Kodo's kayuragi Sandalwood sticks (this is their mid tier around 30 scents a stick 12.99 for 40 sticks on amazon they burn for about 25 mins) and have been happy with the scent, the scent lingers for around 1-2 hours following the burn. 

Most Japanese incense sticks are made with natural ingredients and don't have a bamboo core.  Although they are a little lighter in strength and burn quicker compared to Indian or Tibetan ones. For some recommendations i would suggest visiting the incense subreddit on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Incense/ 

I would have to agree that khulee dhoof (+ using ghee jot with a new batti every time) is the best option when it comes into attracting good energies...

starting at 17:10, the tribes people just grind the fresh saffron that they harvested in the morning and it turn it into a paste with its moisture, Or as the lady is grinding it by hand the oils from her hand may have mixed and created a paste.

That is exactly what I thought too October having a 2 full moons and they (calender makers) just bumped the Gurpurab one month back. 

I had assumed that the gurpurab of guru Nanak dev ji has always been on and celebrated on Kattak di Puranmashi ( the day of the full moon in the month of kattak). As tomorrow is Sangrand of Kattak month (which lasts from October 17- November 15), the full moon during this month occurs on October 31st. But all calendars I've seen have the gurpurab placed on the 30th of November which is the full moon of Maghar. 

Hoping the sangat has any insights to the matter 

Bhul chuk maaf karni 

A perspective to how mantra/gurmantar can lead to naad, in a way their origins are very alike.

How are Naam and Siddhi distinguished, do they come on the same path, or are the paths different? 

Thats awesome to hear!!

I recently spoke with Bhai Dharmjit Singh ji from Gurmat Meditation. He said what we call sleep is actually Sunn. He said whenever you feel sleepy during simran you should go more deeper into it.

@Sat1176 @Lucky  i have recently noted that when doing simran or path I start to fall asleep there is a jerk or jhatka that wakes you up. Is that just a physiological response or am I reading too much into it ?

Also in regards to ringing, I start to notice it when I am concentrating such as during path, simran and while I am typing this.  But its so faint, maybe 1 from a scale of 1 to 100.  I have focused on it but it still stays very faint.  Will it ever change or is it of any significance, in terms of progress ?

And while I am typing all this, an inner voice is saying why are you wasting your time, keep japping Naam ,  and place faith on Guru Ji, everything will happen as He wishes. 

I took it for about 4 months straight, helps with constipation but I did not notice any other notable effects 

How so?

yes, I would assume grinding it dry, any moisture will cause mold.

Also, all kesar that we can get in the store is "dried" in that there is no moisture left in the flower because if there were it would not grind dry.

can you include the url link 

Keep us updated 

I wanted to know the sangats thoughts on Malkeet singhs claims.

Can u add other kathas in which giani ji has mentioned brahm kavach?
