Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh ji. Dass himself reads just one paath of Sri Shastar Naam Mala. The full length paath has got 5 chapters. As dass recently read them but its really long as it took me 2 weeks almost to finish it. 

The best way to do this bani is the first 28 pauris which dass does and heard in katha of gyani thakur singh ji. Also don't do it more than 2 times.

Here is a link with the shudh paath printed of Shastar Naam Mala

Waheguru Ji

This might be helpful for you, gurbani is in roman character and is explained in english. The entire Guru Granth Sahib Ji has been completed like this which you can read on this website http://www.sadhsangat.com/category/banis/sukhmani/

 

Here is an example 

ਸਿਮਰਉ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਉ ॥ਕਲਿ ਕਲੇਸ ਤਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਮਿਟਾਵਉ ॥
Simrao simar simar sukẖ pāvao. Kal kales ṯan māhi mitāvao.

 

I (simrau) keep in mind/conform to – Naam/Divine virtues and commands, and (simar-i simar-i) conforming it – twice – in thought and deed – I do not commit vices and – (paavau) have (sukh-u) peace. And, (mittavau = erase) remove (kaleys) strife (kal-i) by conflicts present (maah-i) in (tan) the body/life.

 

ਸਿਮਰਉ ਜਾਸੁ ਬਿਸੁੰਭਰ ਏਕੈ ॥ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਅਗਨਤ ਅਨੇਕੈ ॥
Simrao jās bisumbẖar ekai. Nām japaṯ agnaṯ anekai.

 

I (simrau) conform to (jaas-u) glory/virtues of (eykai) the One (bisumbhar = nurturer of universe) Sustainor Almighty.
(Aganat aneykai) countless people (japat) remember/obey (naam-u) Divine commands, i.e. the creatures exist by Naam/Divine commands/laws of nature.

 

ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਸਿੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸੁਧਾਖ੍ਯ੍ਯਰ ॥ਕੀਨੇ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਇਕ ਆਖ੍ਯ੍ਯਰ ॥
Beḏ purān simriṯ suḏẖākẖyar. Kīne rām nām ik ākẖyar.

 

 (Beyd) the Vedas, Puranas and Smritis, i.e. the scriptures are (sudhaakhyar = container of nectar) source of awareness of Naam. They have been (keeney = made) created to teach (ik aakhyar) the one Word, (naam) Divine virtues and commands.

 

ਕਿਨਕਾ ਏਕ ਜਿਸੁ ਜੀਅ ਬਸਾਵੈ ॥ਤਾ ਕੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਗਨੀ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥
Kinkā ek jis jīa basāvai. Ŧā kī mahimā ganī na āvai.

 

One in whose mind the Creator (basaavai = puts) causes to abide (kinka eyk) one bit of the virtues i.e. one who remembers and imbibes even a bit of Divine virtues,
(Mahima) greatness (ta ki) of that person is (gani na aavai = cannot be counted) beyond measure.

ਕਾਂਖੀ ਏਕੈ ਦਰਸ ਤੁਹਾਰੋ ॥ਨਾਨਕ ਉਨ ਸੰਗਿ ਮੋਹਿ ਉਧਾਰੋ ॥੧॥
Kāʼnkẖī ekai ḏaras ṯuhāro. Nānak un sang mohi uḏẖāro. ||1||

 

O Creator, those who (kaankhi) long for (daras) vision of (tuhaaro) Yours (eykai = one) only, i.e. those who long to experience Your presence within their minds thinking of none else.
please place me (un sang-i) in their company to (udhaaro = lift) emancipate me from the vices of the world-play, says fifth Nanak. 1.

Parabẖ kai simran ṯirath isnānī. Parabẖ kai simran ḏargėh mānī.

 

 People bathe at holy places to purify themselves. One becomes (isnaani) bather at (teerath) holy places, i.e. purifies the inner-self (simran-i) by conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty.

One is (maani) accepted (dargah) Divine court/for union with God, (simran-i) by conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty.

 

ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਹੋਇ ਸੁ ਭਲਾ ॥ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਸੁਫਲ ਫਲਾ ॥
Parabẖ kai simran hoe so bẖalā. Parabẖ kai simran sufal falā.

 

(S-u) that which (hoey) is done (simran-i) by conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty is (bhalaa) good.

One’s actions are (suphal) fruitful by (simaran-i) conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty; as (phalaa = fruit) fulfilment of longing for the Almighty is attained.

 

ਸੇ ਸਿਮਰਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਆਪਿ ਸਿਮਰਾਏ ॥ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾ ਕੈ ਲਾਗਉ ਪਾਏ ॥੩॥
Se simrahi jin āp simrāe. Nānak ṯā kai lāgao pāe. ||3||

Only (sey) they (simrah-i) remember/conform to Divine commands, (jin) whom the Almighty (aap-i) IT-self (simraaey) causes to conform.

I (laagau) touch (ta kai) their (paaey) feet, i.e. humbly seek guidance from them, says fifth Nanak. 3.

 

Page 263

ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਾ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਸਭ ਤੇ ਊਚਾ ॥ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਉਧਰੇ ਮੂਚਾ ॥
Parabẖ kā simran sabẖ ṯe ūcẖā. Parabẖ kai simran uḏẖre mūcẖā.

 

(Simran-u) conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty is (oochha) higher (tey) than (sabh) all religious practices.

(Moocha = large) multitudes of people (udhrey = lifted) are emancipated from vices (simran-i) by conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty.

 

ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਬੁਝੈ ॥ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਸੁਝੈ ॥
Parabẖ kai simran ṯarisnā bujẖai. Parabẖ kai simran sabẖ kicẖẖ sujẖai.

Waheguru Ji 

Any progress/update towards this goal?

Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh ji veer ji. I do listen to katha but recently i haven't had much time as i have been really busy my nitnem banis.My current routine is that i usually that before sunset around 2 hours.

I take a bath/shower then start to read these banis in this order nowdays Chandi Di Vaar,Chandi Charitar 1,Bhagauti Astotar,Shastar Naam Mala,Sukhmani Sahib. Then Jap Ji Sahib and Ramkali ki Vaar Satta Balwand once Sukhmani Sahib Ji is finished. I do try to add other banis that i have mentioned previously if i get time.

But now i am gonna start to listen to the katha of these banis as i do need to start to understand the arths of these mahaan banis. So i am thinking about using Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Bhindrawale.

I just read the thread and got interested. I have been doing the gobinde Mukunde Jaap for sometime it is very beautiful. I do it for an hour every morning and I also do gurmantar jaap. However the gobinde mukunde really works for me it draws me in. 
It is only after doing naam Jaap one realises what a gift the gurus have given us. I am not Gursikh as in I have not taken Amrit but this is making me think of doing it and of growing my hair. I am thinking on it. 
 

 

Waheguru thats amazing veer ji

Does Sikhism believe in evil spirits or exorcism? I've witnessed some on real life and as a sikh I'm just curious if sikhism believes in them
