I would recommend these banis veer ji but also its best to do sri sukhmani sahib ji straight after banis like ugardanti,chandi di vaar, chandi chirtar 1,2,shastar naam mala as these banis are yudh bir ras paaths that dass has been reading for over 6 years now.

 

The maryada is to have a kesi ishan or a quick shower before starting these banis. Make sure you read them before sunset or when you wake up as the same maryada is for chandi di vaar in baba harnam singh ji's jeevani.

Amazing thank you Veer Ji I will look to implement Sri Sukhmani Sahib afterwards. But for example some days where it would be difficult to fit it in time wise, one would think finishing with Anand Sahib be proficient? Of course gurmantar will be implemented throughout the day.

There is reference (in Sri Sooraj Prakaash Granth) to the flame shapeshifting when Sri Satguru jee (Tenth Master) was doing a Gurmat Havan to manifest Sri Bhagauti jee.

 

Bhul chuk maaf

How incredible. Vaheguru ‍

That's really good that you do Chandi Di Vaar and Ugardanti. Have you read Shastar Naam Mala or any of the Chandi Chirtars or Bhagauti Astotar ?

I have not yet done bhagti of these baanis, would you recommend Ji? - and is the maryada for these baanis similar to Bram Kavach?

Bro, do you follow the Rehat of Sarabloh Bibek?

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Apologies for the late response. Can you outline the rehat for me Veer Ji, I try to eat from sarabloh but it's not strictly followed. Would you recommend we implement and follow this strictly?

Are you interested in knowing the types of dry fruits that have to be kept?

Also, are you interested in knowing what kind of incense sticks to be used?

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Would love to know Ji, I only know of almonds, cashews, wallnut. Think there's 7?

Sandalwood incense? Any others?

Veer Ji I was unable to find the information regarding the Maryada, can you type it for me if possible

Were you able to capture any of the above in camera?

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Honestly I wasn't thinking of recording it however it seems to happen very consistently, however If I were to record it - for whatever reason I feel inclined not to just based on the fact that the intention is soley to gain Maharaj Ji's darshan, if this was as a result of something that I do not understand/ may not be able to see yet at my current spiritual state then Ill let it be and take it for as it is.

More than anything just wanted to share my experience. The house is full of extremely devout GurSikhs and I personally believe there are Shaheed Singhs present during Amrit Vela as the house has light sensors every where that only go off when movement is detected and every day at Amrit Vela without fail the lights regularly go off from 2-5am. (this doesnt happen at all during the day) Also sometimes steps can be heard creaking up and down the stairs but this is rarer. I'm not superstitious, far from it. But you have to put two and two together when you have the background knowledge, I'm sure all will become clearer over my upcoming years of devout Bhagti. Not sure if these are common occurrences amongst the GurSikhs that centre their life around Gurbani and aren't alluded to the pleasures of Maya. Don't really have many GurSikh friends but here we are on the internet! You learn to see the jot of Vaheguru in every soul.

Do you want Daas to translate (in English) some of the stuff (related to Sri Braham Kavach) in the Kathas for you?

 

Bhul chuk maaf

I found this video with the translations, I know that Guru sahib made this baani by changing the original Durga Kavach (32 praises of Durga) and related Bram Kavach to 32 names of Akaal Purkh, essentially creating Akaal Purkh Kavach but kept the name of Bram Kavach as everything is Bram. If you could add any historical context it would be greatly appreciated as I have truly fallen in love with this Baani. Your wisdom wont be wasted, this is all the info I know, so as I mentioned If you know any further knowledge/personal/people you know ofs experiences please share 

Forgot to mention, post chandi Di Vaar I did Ugurdanti when I could and prior to Bram Kavach I did mool mantre Jaap

How much Jaap (in total) have you done so far of this Gurbani?

IMHO, if you are a beginner, just try to fully focus attentively (with firm belief and devotion) on the Jaap of Sri Braham Kavach. Make sure that your Uchaaran is Shudh.

Don't focus too much on the Outer Rehat for now. Take a shower and keep doing Jaap as much as you can (minimum of 32 Jaaps/day). 

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Brother, I started doing this Jaap for a minimum of 32 times daily.

I had some experiences during this time, involving the jot quite literally dancing to chandi Di Vaar ( unexplainably shapeshifting and gaining huge flame at times) and upon completion of the Bram Kavach, the jot would always be finished exactly when I finish. Regardless if I did a Jaap of 32 or 52 or even 108.

I plan on continuing this Jaap for the rest of my life

I also wanted to know if so long as your hair is washed, can you Jap this baani any time, any where after you've completed your 32jaaps

History of this Baani, its existence and the sakhi of how Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji compiled it/when would be much appreciated Sangat Ji as this is where my knowledge is limited. 

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa Vaheguroo Jee Kee Fatehh Sangat Ji

I would like to know your experiences of japping this powerful Baani and for this post to serve as a place of knowledge.

What I know from the Maryada required whilst doing bhagti on Bram Kavach

- Amritdhari (If not you have to be living as Gursikh with your thoughts and actions) 

- Full Ishnaan (+kes)

- Wear clean clothes, Ideally Chola with kamarkasa, hazooria

- Wear White/ Blue dastaar 

- Sit on clean blanket (ideally white) 

- Complete Nitnem Baani, then do Mool Mantra Jaap, followed by Bram Kavach, followed by Anand Sahib, and then Ardaas.

- Hold Kirpaan whilst reciting

- Have Jot (Candle) lit, Ideally made from ghee with a cotton/hemp wick

- Ideally have Shastar in kamarkasa/ in elevated position in room

- Optional to have incense stick/ move incense stick around room before jaap to rid air of any air bourn bacteria

- Ideally have sarab loh bowl with paani (water) and ideally have sarab loh bowl with nuts (not required though), you will eat this at the end of the jaap

- Do not fart whilst doing the baani (I think to get the full benefit you have to be strict with your body control, correct me if wrong)

- Before beginning jaap for the next 30 days, do ardaas to Vaheguroo and make bhog/parshaad

- Jaap with absolute focus and practice pronouncing the baani properly 

Please add anything which I have missed as this is what I currently know. I would love to hear your personal experiences and what bhagti of this baani has brought to you. I've heard stories that Shaheed Singhs can be present when japping this baani, similarly to Sukhmani Sahib. That's why the Maryada is the way that it is. I think the aim to do 32 jaaps daily is ideal however if you were to do 1 mala or 6 mala would your experiences be tenfolded?  

Many thanks Sangat Ji, lets spread the knowledge and inspire likeminded souls.

The whole passage might translate as follows:

Whoever tries to fight with Sri Satguru jee (Sixth Master) will have his vision blurred and his mouth gagged. He won't be able to speak and will keep looking anxiously.

Sri Satguru jee (Seventh Master) has hit a stone on the head of the enemy.

All thanks to Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev jee Maharaaj

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Many thanks veer ji! So it is for protection. Do you know if there is any specific maryada whilst reciting this Shabadh. I aim to do at least one mala, however, can this be done at any time for example? 

Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa Vaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh
Does anyone know the translation/meaning of this Shabadh, I'm not sure what it means but feel great power from this:
Akkhi GhaTTa Muuh Vicch Datta
Bolhh nah Sakhe bit bitt thake
Hargobind de take
Mariyha Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Jee
Dushman de sribatta
Sadka babe Nanak Dah 
Gurmukhi: 
    ਅਖੀਂ ਘੱਟਾ ਮੂੰਹ ਵਿਚ ਡੱਟਾ
                  ਬੋਲ ਨ ਸੱਕੇ ਬਿੱਟ ਬਿੱਟ ਤੱਕੇ
                  ਹਰਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਦੇ ਧੱਕੇ
                  ਮਾਰਿਆ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਇ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ
                  ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣ ਦੇ ਸਿਰ ਬੱਟਾ
