Can a Tattoo be made without shaving the hair?

If yes, then IMHO, there is no harm in getting a Tattoo.

 

Bhul chuk maaf

I think a lot of Sikhs avoid it, seeing it as ritual piercing. Tattooed skin loses the ability to breath, and in extreme cases this does kill the persons liver then themself. 

I recommend taking vitamin E, and doing short bursts of activity to get breathing up then rest and repeat. Coordinate breathing with movement pleasurably using Vaheguru however feels most natural. With in or out breath or both. 

I also recommend laying on a semi firm floor and rocking side to side, with and without the legs held into chest, and rocking back and forth along the spine like Aikido Ukemi. 

Ugh. They're all doing it wrong. Kind of like this but you only rock part way and do both sides. 

I apologize in advance for this. Truly. But medically out of compassion I feel like I have a responsibility to bring this up. 

CBD May Reduce Scarring

When the skin’s layers are damaged, the cells work to repair the injury with new collagen fibers. This produces scar tissue that looks and feels different from the surrounding skin. Scars can simply be unsightly, or they can interfere with normal functioning.

CBD supports the regeneration of skin cells and also limits the spread of damaged cells. Another way CBD helps scars heal is by regulating collagen production. When you apply CBD directly to a scar, it can help soften and smooth it, which reduces the appearance and texture of the scar tissue 

Not only could they be eaten for a variety of reasons but... Ahem...

They also sell cbds suspened in vegetable glycerin solutions that can be put in...an..umm...electric device...and turned into a vapor...and breathed in...to get the cbds on the lung tissue itself.

@Trimandeep Singh - Please listen to the above video bro. Jhatka of fruits (Apples, Bananas, Coconuts, etc) is done during the Paath of Sri Dasam Gurbani. It is done at the point, whenever there is a mention (in Gurbani) of a death of a demon or a evil person or a warrior.

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Thank you for summarizing. I'm too ignorant to benefit from the video. 

I'm still watching it... Just not understanding too much.

Batlles in Dasam Granth start off in 10 directions mainly, then decrease to 4 direction battles, more often.

No, I haven't had that but many people see other entities or jeevs at  times. Usually always to distract or trick you. All Kaal's play!

How about sitting with your back against a wall?

It didn't bother me, so I just kept doing Simran, just with company is how it felt. I felt supported, or more like they had been attracted by the Simran, and came to listen. 

Ah. Here's some. This isn't the whole or exact Katha. Maybe later or in part 2 he finishes. The beginning of this does speak to it though.

I was doing Abhiyas in sangat few years ago. A strong force came behind me and pushed my spine in so hard, making me sit up straight. It wasn’t someone walking by. Freaked me out a bit. 

Hah. That's something a Sensei would do. Love it Hanji.

@Trimandeep Singh

When Sri Satguru jee (Tenth Master) said that they need a "head", he might have said it metaphorically.

Like when Daas says that a person has to give his "head" to Panj Pyare to get Khande da Amrit, that does not mean that you have to behead yourself and present your head to the Panj Pyare. It means that you have to abandon your ego and pride, within your mind.

 

Bhul chuk maaf

While that metaphor may be true, and often is used that way, the effect this had on the Sangat initially, makes it clear people saw, or thought they saw, heads rolling.

Didn't the corpse turn into Karah Prashad, when the sheet from the dead body was lifted?

 

Bhul chuk maaf

I think so Hanji, but only after committing to eat it in the rotten form. So up until the point of acceptance it was flesh. 

The fact a lot of these battles happened in 10 directions might...change interpretations. 

Has anyone had the experience of "people" coming and standing behind you when you do Simran?

If so, how did it strike you? Who did you feel it was?

Here's some more Lester Levenson. I do not promote this as Gurmat, higher than Gurmat, or a replacement for Gurbani. 

It is however the single best articulated information about the Paath from a western physicists direct experience, that when deconstructed is basically american zazen or american advaita with respect to God. 

The experience of releasing through meditation, and accepting Hukam through meditation, can really help people who are new to Naam that haven't had the experience of feeling Rog or Haumai being taken by Vaheguru. 

While Lester provided some of the absolute best information to lead me to Gursikhi his method falls short of Gursikhi. There is a reason I have set it largely aside to persue Gurmat, but Lester got as high as you can without Sikhi. After reaching that state he was sent back to share information. So we can see his Seva has truly started.  

Cross applies to thread about Mukte and Lokhs. Lester can tell you about all Lokhs but one. 

Note: These are Lester's talks. His actual release methods are not included. The mechanics of the meditation are elsewhere. But there is a lot on the subject of Truth that anyone could enjoy here.

Who would like to do a japa of Ik Oankar or any other mantras here, for some time, and share their experiences here?

It’s amazing to share and store this wealth and gyaan but we also need some practical experiments otherwise this will just become intellectual acrobatic exercises which makes us feel good momentarily and then we are looking for the next great mantra/shabd or japa to talk about .

Running late after reading this was a lot easier saying Raj Karega on the two foot falls and breathing in Khalsa.

Daswandh is for the Panth, which is 10% of your net income.

Daan is for any needy person (Sikh or Non-Sikh)

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Right. I think that's where some wires keep getting crossed. 

I do agree that some form of priority should be given to the Paanth in general. 

I also agree that anyone should be helped regardless of personal interest. 

Daan, and Dasvand are both asked of us and both children of Daya?

When Baba Harnam Singh Rampur Khera Wala met Jesus Christ, Prophet Muhammad, and Bhagat Rishi Jee.

Taken From Say Kinehiya , Biography Of Sant Baba Harnam Singh Ji

One day Baba Ji was in deep meditation when Jesus Christ, Mohammed Sahib and Bhrigu Rishi Ji together, appeared before him. Their faces were radiant and had spiritually bright auras around their heads. After blessing Baba Ji with this vision Hazrat Mohammed Sahib Ji spoke, ‘‘You are blessed and truly fortunate to whom Guru Nanak Dev Ji has shown the direct and easy method to attain enlightenment of Almighty God especially in this age of kalyug. The followers of the Great Guru Nanak Dev are not deriving the full benefit of his teachings.” After this, Bhrigu Rishi Ji spoke, ”In our times, we had to undergo hard penance and rigorous spiritual austerities in order to achieve enlightenment. The whole life of a man was spent in meditation and making offerings to God and even then, union with God was hard to achieve. The true nectar of naam which great Guru Nanak Dev Ji has brought for his Sikhs is remarkable; even we could not obtain this boon of naam. No doubt we amassed great spiritual and miraculous powers through rigorous meditation and penance, including powers to curse or bless anyone, but we were still deprived of the nectar of naam.” Jesus Christ just said simply, ”It is my inner desire that my followers one day adopt the path shown by great Guru Nanak Dev Ji.”

Saying these words, all three prophets disappeared.

[I experience continuation from divine process from one prophet to another not intellectual comparativeness of prophets, that try to prove one is higher over other.]

many many Sri Guru Maharaj Ji's Blessings for your journey.

Shukria Hanji. That experience. Yes. That rings totally true to me. I heard that well after being on that road so I recognized it coming in the back. 

I just had this happen to me at work. What they describe. I have Kaam largely on lockdown. Especially at work. I use work as paid Bhagti and Aikido time which makes accomplishing the work easy as a byproduct. And they station this young woman with me out of nowhere and expect me to train her, line going full blast production speed but okay. And she's awesome and came onto me...extremely hard. Which was surprising, unexpected and unwarranted really.  And I think she did this because I had been fortinate enough to Naam Jaap, and Bhagti up such a work flow that it's magnetic and my energy body was just vibrant, and I was releasing huge pieces of Paap and Rog, and my mind was travelling all these places with Sangat, and I was being washed with these experieneces from Khalsa Family..

AND then suddenly.. I wasn't right.  Because I have a 26 year old american indian...Mohini ..hand crafted.....silver bullet...not only rocking her job but trying to rock me too. "Oh I'm into acrobatic combat bow shooting and have immense interest in spirituality"...silver bullet. 

So...I lead with all my baggage then told her all about Sikhi and that solved that. Lol. Even then, not at first.  Among a variety of things I told her to disuade her without hurting her feelings was that there is an extremely special right or covenant that is performed before we engage with anyone in a manner like that and she said "I'm down". ...I'm not sure she knows she's getting ready for Amrit or Anand Karaj lol. But whatever. 

So hopefully she wants to talk about Sikhi or Aiki, or rocking production, and things are chill. 

Was nice in a way. Feel like a person for a second. Lol. Not as nice as that Bhagti wave I was riding though before I got distracted and had to ask Guru Nanak Dev Ji to protect my honor. With my phone number in my pocket.  Feeling like a wretch. Really looking forward to building up that Bhagti wave next work week. 

Better here rambling on the forum, thinking about Sikhi than out on a date though. 

Now Anand Karaj? That's where it's at. And burning off that Kaam into something better. There is a crazy energy there relating to Sanjog I keep getting closer to at the tops of that, and the Kaam turns into something way more powerful and vibrant when you don't let it trip you into a faceplant. 

Does Hawan fight anxiety? Maybe. Does it matter when Naam is Panacea and we have the Ever Living Guru in Shabad and Nehkalanhk forms?

Tttldr?

You ever get spared a mishap and you know it was Vaheguru Akal Purakh? So you thank Him? Even supposed atheists do this when you truly scare them and they stop acting all angry at God.  He just answered your prayer in advance. Doesn't hear our prayers? Jeez. 

This was more about maintaining a singular focus on Sat Naam to defeat Hau Me under influence of Kalyug to put it in our terms. Throw in some Dharam Rai, Jamdoots, Dharmi V Adharmi.
