    Oof. After 1700 hours or so of religous room sifting I have finally found our closest match in the abrahamics. Nazir. Nazarites. How apt. 

    In the Hebrew Bible, a nazirite or a nazarite (Hebrew: נָזִיר Nāzīr)[1] is one who voluntarily took a vow which is described in Numbers 6:1–21. "Nazarite" comes from the Hebrew word nazir meaning "consecrated" or "separated".[2] Those who put themselves under a Nazirite vow do so by adding unto themselves a degree of sanctity, as it says: "Until the time is completed, etc., he shall be holy."[3] A person who puts himself under a Nazirite vow without designating how long he intends to remain as such, he is obligated in all that pertains to Nazirite strictures for a period of thirty days.[4] This vow required the person to observe the following strictures:

    • Abstain from all wine and anything else made from the grape vine plant, such as cream of tartar, grape seed oil, etc. (Traditional rabbinic authorities state that all other types of alcohol were permitted.)
    • Refrain from cutting the hair on one's head; but to allow the locks of the head's hair to grow.[5]

    When you hear their whole spiel it's very Sikh like. They wear turbans many of them. I'm going to see if these modern one's didn't borrow from us. But best ones so far as a group. 

    I don't have time to post on the results of the sifting and I won't interject further updates until I can write it out which will be a long time. 

    Tldr we're on our own really. Be friends with everyone ish. 

    This is interesting why grape seed oil and tartar?  I don't see any wrongs in it?

    FOREWORD

    The current Nit-Nem (the Scriptures for routine recitation) approved by the Panth (The Sikh-

    World) comprises of the five Scriptures. The first of these is Jappu, also called Jappu ji Sahib,

    or Jappu Nisaan. Others are Jaapu Sahib, Savayae, Rahras, and Kirtan Sohela.

    Jappu ji Sahib – The Holy Sikh Book: Siri Guru Granth Sahib, starts with this Hymn

    composed by Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru. This spans the first 8 pages of the Holy Book

    and is named "Jappu," respectfully called "Jappu jee Saahib." "Jappu" means, “recite.” Jappu

    jee Saahib is an important part of a Sikh's daily prayer. The collection of scriptures called, "Nit-

    Nem," meaning Daily-Prayer, are often compiled separately in a small booklet. All Nit-Nem

    Gutkaas (Booklets) start with Jappu jee Saahib and contain other hymns as well. The

    description of Jappu jee Saahib that follows, has been taken with a few immaterial changes

    here and there, from "The Encyclopedia of Sikhism," by Harbans Singh, published in 1996 by

    the Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab, India.

    “. Jappu ji is the most riveting Sikh prayer recited by the devout, early in the morning.

    The composition is not assigned to any particular raga or musical measure, as is the rest of the

    Scriptural text. Jappu ji is universally accepted to be the composition of Guru Nanak, the

    founding prophet of Sikhism, although, unlike other scriptural hymns and compositions, it

    remains anonymous without being credited individually to any of the Gurus… Preceded by

    what is called Mul Mantra, the basic statement of creed, the Jappu comprises of an introductory

    sloka and 38 stanzas traditionally called paurees and a concluding sloka… The entire

    composition including the Mool Mantra, two slokas and the thirty-eight paurees form the

    sacred Morning Prayer Jappu ji Sahib, is also called Jappu Nisaanu. It serves as a prologue to

    the Scripture and encapsulates Guru Nanak's creed and philosophy, as a whole. "The message

    of the Jappu is abiding in nature and universal in application. It describes the nature of the

    Ultimate Reality and the way to comprehend it, and is not tied to any particular religious

    system. In a word, it defines Sikhism, the religious view of Guru Nanak.”

    Jaapu Sahib – It is a different Scripture from “Jappu” of Guru Nanak. Jaapu has been

    composed by the Tenth Master Guru Gobind Singh. It has 199 stanzas in different styles of the

    poetry, contains different Names of God, and so is meditation on Him. The Scripture is rich

    with the words from different languages like Sanskrit, Persian, Bihari, and even Arabic.

    Savayaas – It has 10 Shabads – Hymns. It is composition of the 10th Master - Guru Gobind

    Singh, and is in his style.

    Rahraas – It has Hymns by different Gurus, and portions from other Banis (Scriptures) like

    “Anand Sahib,” by 3rd Guru, and “Chaupaee,” etc. by Guru Gobind Singh.

    Keertan Sohelaa – This also is a mixed Bani i.e. not by a single Guru. It has five Hymns. As a

    daily routine, a Sikh is required to recite these five Banis (Scriptures) every day. If nothing

    more, most of them recite Jappu ji Sahib every morning and some add to it Rahraas in the

    evening. Many recite more than these five prescribed Banis. Whatever one can do is great, but

    should keep on trying to achieve the optimum.

    Extra Banis

    Many recite more than the above currently prescribed five Banis – Scriptures. Some of these

    are mentioned below, and have also been given in this book –

    Shabad Hajaa-rae – This is recited in the morning, mostly after Jappu ji Sahib.

    Anand Sahib – Previously, before the change in the prescribed Banis, almost everyone recited

    it, and still many do so. Its full script – complete version has 40 Paurees – steps.

     Starting five Paurees – Steps, plus 40th Pauree of Anand Sahib is also called Anand

    Sahib or Chhota Anand Sahib. This is sung at the end of almost all the celebrations. This also is

    a part of Rahraas, as well.

    Chaupai – “Hamree karo hath dae rachhaa...” This also is a part of Rahraas. This is the

    Chaupai which is recited by most of the people. It is specially recited in the hard times. In the

    1984 mass anti Sikh riots, it was daily recited by almost every Sikh.

    Chaupai – “Pranvo Aad. Aekan: kaaraa...”

    Sukhmani Sahib – This is a very long Bani, and is not given in the present book. It takes about

    one to one and a half hours to recite. A good lot of the people recite it daily, mostly in the

    morning. Besides Jappu ji Sahib, this Bani is also very popular amongst the non-Sikhs. This is

    considered the peace-giving Scripture.

    Ardaas – It is invocation and is given at the end of the book. It is a supplication and not a Bani

    – Scripture.

    I recently found out we have many more Granth Sahib Ji's then mentioned like Mukth Marag Granth Sahib ji and many others, why there so many out there? It is said the Mukth Marag Granth Sahib Ji is recited by our beloved Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji - is this true? How many Granth Sahib Ji are there with names please?

    Are you Keshdhari bro?

    Have you ever done Jaap of a specific shabad many times in the past?

     

    Bhul chuk maaf

    No my hair is cut, I don't wear turban or anything like that. But I do 5 Banis and Rehras Sahib and Kirtan Sohila and Mul Mantra. I had a question though. Never really done specific number of Jaaps. I had a question. Once I am done with Rehras Sahib do I need to recite Ardas or Ardas is only after finishing the 5 Banis in the morning? What about after reciting Kirtan Sohila?

    Brahm Kvach. Chaupai Sahib. Train with wooden weapons inside your house and fight the shadows and most importantly with full feeling utter Jo bole so nihal Sat Sri Akallll! With the intention of summoning Shaheed Singhs. And let them rip. I've literally had dark magic workers cry out that their altars were being absolutely decimated and tortured for attacking me. 

    You can also ask for direct intercession of Vaheguru. 

    A ghost is astral causal only. You have the profound ownership of matter. When you go on attack they have much to fear from you alone let alone with help. They capitalize on the fear in the mind without which they are impotent largely. 

    Should Brahm Kavach be recited during day or night time? I do read all 5 Banis each day, including Rehras Sahib and Kirtan Sohila. Should that be sufficient? Or should I recite Sukhmani Sahib also along with all other banis? It's very strange. Where do you live bhaji?

    You shouldn't be involved in picking really. That's called dating. 

    My last marriage really scared me bhaji - it was very dangerous, that's why I am picky now. I really need to make sure whichever women I marry that she is honest, does not have guys as friends, and doesn't like travel much and is homely type. Too many things happening which shouldn't happen

    Oof. Dating sites are narcissistic feeding grounds. 

    Use a vichola of some fashion. 

    I tried a vichola also the problem with vichola is even they do not know what women do on a daily basis in their personal life. Then I found out through some communication that the girl has several boyfriends hence I stopped there as well. Search still going though :)

    If you get your daily life solid, well rounded, full of Gurmat, including martial arts and some public Seva or teaching or program where you lead or help lead and you're married soon.

    How's your education? Not critical just curious.

    Here is good. I also use jami messenger which is encrypted...woohoo... and have google too. 

    Jami account is dharamyudh

    And google is dharam_yudh_society@gmail.com

    The most important thing in life is Mukte and Sanjog ...Seva...Shaheed maybe...not marriage.

    Are you more or less likely to have no attachment to this place with a wife?

    As a paanth do we promote Grishte Jeevan? Of course. Does that have to do with mukte? Newp. 

    Gurbani says you have to give all that up to go where we're going. 

    To the Husband Lord. 

    And you may yet be blessed in Anand Karaj as well. 

    And yes....the relationship scene this Kalyug is the gutter full of lying cheating backstabbing manipulative horrible people. That's why even Anand Karaj is Seva. 

    Beautiful thoughts bhaji, I am a normal guy very simple I do not demand anything from a marriage partner but only love and honesty. But she is with someone else hence we ended up in divorce. There are other things also but I think Gurbani might help me in understanding this life and how to handle situations. Where do you live? I am in Centreville, Virginia USA.
