The reality is you just need to not fall for the b/s of the illusion/khel. Even the most demonic entities you may see are God (as are bad people). They’re just false images, illusions, god dressed up in costume. A highly evolved friend taught me to visualize myself in meditation as an eagle and a cheetah, animals who don’t fear predators way bigger than themselves. They said if I see a demon or whatever, to bite it’s head off. So in my samadhi (with lights off) I did, and the fear was conquered.

Ok will try 2.5 hours simran during midnight when I can manage it.Currently  I do it after 6am usually.

I really hope God doesn't come to me dressed up in this costume,I'd rather take a pass.

Try it and see, you should be able to feel it when you begin. 

Sitting in lotus pose is good, or with your back leaning on the wall for support with your legs crossed or out. You can also start off sitting then lie down, go deep into it and you’ll knock out for the night, or you can do it lying down, however you’re comfortable. You can adjust your legs as needed while you’re in the samadhi, you’ll just go back into it after. 

You may get to a stage where you can’t feel your body, not the usual physical numbness, more of a spiritual one, in that case just relax and keep going but if you’re in discomfort then adjust yourself. 

Relax, listen to the ringing sound (Anhad Naad), let go and let the samadhi take you, with no expectation of how it should look or even feel. It happens as it’s deserved ie as God wills it. You can start with 30 mins, long sessions are generally better at the start but if you want to do 30 mins it’s cool.

The earliest I've done it was at 4am.I don't experience any sound at the moment. I usually just do out loud Vaheguru simran.Last year was 20mins daily.This year upped it to 30mins.

You do it in darkness or any lights on at 12.30am?I've tried in darkness but had to switch on the lights as I had a terrible feeling of being watched by something.I think its just in my head as I've watched too many horror movies.

Naam from 12.30am for 2.5 hrs is effective, very powerful time, until morning. 

I've noticed you mention this time many times.Whats the difference compared to starting at 3 or 4am?Very powerful in what sense?

For 2.5hrs during naam jaap you sit on the floor?Do you adjust your legs when they go numb?More than 30mins and I feel like my legs start killing me.

Things are changing in Canada. I saw bhagvad gita in hotel room as opposed to holy bible by gibson all over the hotel. Much more diverse...some don't have anything in hotels 

How does it work there, are you encouraged to take the bible home?Do powdered milk tins suddenly appear in your hotel room with a note saying you'll burn in hell if you don't convert?

Came across this vid. This fella raises some valid points that need further investigation.

Very fishy.People helping in this Farmers Protest are suddenly ending up dead.Before this it was a mechanic who was fixing trucks for the protesters whose car caught fire and burnt him at night.Now this.Those close to Santji should examine this "suicide note" closely and compare it with his previous writings.

True about friends and family. I’ve been literally shamed, ridiculed, humiliated, bullied etc because I don’t drink. Our extended families are known to be drinkers, the men and women. For them it’s a shame not to drink, as it’s said to be part of the family name. I’m a female and I’ve felt it a lot. 

Great. You didn't miss out on anything. Now you have a healthier body and mind from everyone else in your family.

Congrats bro.

Well done from your side by staying away from the bad sangat.

The next step is to stay alone or be in sadh-sangat, read Gurbani, listen katha keertan or just distract yourself with healthy hobbies, or go for jogging, or join a gym, the thing is to keep an eye on the devlish mind.

And last pray sincerely to Waheguru to help you go smoothly away from the bad company. 

Good luck.

SSA.

Thanks veerji for the encouragement.Sadh-sangat is 1 thing I haven't been blessed with.I just do online sangat through youtube,this forum etc.Hopefully I can find good like minded sangat.

Just cut them out. Don't matter who they are. Anyone bringing your down one way or the other, see them as your enemy. Be free from these bounds, doesn't matter if blood relations or whtv nonsense. When you are rising, people even your parents will unconsciously or consciously try to pull your down to their level. 

Very true but thankfully i faced no such reaction from family only friends.

That’s a tricky one. You need a therapist for sure I would suggest. Yoga is known to help addictions. 

I haven't drank or smoked in almost 2 years.A huge factor in quitting alcohol is the ability to distance yourself from other drinker friends as alcohol is a social drug and the further you are from drinkers the lower chance you have of being tempted to drink.This is the toughest part.Your so called friends will mock,belittle and straightforward get hostile with you as you move further away from them because they feel insecure and inferior that you are able to quit and they are still dependent on drinks.They will do their best to drag you in with all sorts of tricks and if that doesn't work they start calling you a bad friend,ungrateful,unmanly,holier than thou etc.Just ignore and realize they are not your true friends.

Next is to establish friendship with non drinkers and get involved in activities where drinking is not present or taboo.

Great.Has a totally new fresh look now.

Awesome mountain background.Is the images section on the front page necessary as its the same old images?Great upgrade admin

Sadly many Sikhs now these days DON'T think that Sikh are poor oppressed people in india.

So true. This is what you can do when you own and control the media.
