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
Not what I was looking for...but.

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.
Sure bro. Sit for a minute. Relax. Get comfy. Let your breathing be natural.
Now I want you to ask yourself... what's good about death?
And watch what happens to the tension, the feelings, in your belly and your chest, your pulse. Say yes to all that energy and open a magic door over it and imagine Vaheguru taking it as you say Vaheguru. Notice you get excited?
Now ask... what's bad about death, and notice the muscle tension all over, especially in yhe feeling centers of the belly and the chest change? And you open up a door over that feeling, say yes to it, you have to say yes Guru Ji, and say Vaheguru and let it go.
That's a basic crash course in kinesthetic releasing.
The fact is 100 of the desires of this life and past are stored in the body this way. The body is the resulting form of the limitations you have. Your karam of thoughts and desires, attachments and aversions to things for ...8.4 million lives or more so far.
Think about when a person makes you ubconfortable in your gut? Or when you have a fear? All of it is mirrored in the bio feedback mechine that is the carcass.
ਇਕ ਦਿਨ ਕਲਗੀਧਰ ਥਿਰੇ, ਸਿਦਕੀ ਸਿਖ ਤੀਰਾ ।
One day Kalgidhar [Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji] was sitting with his faithful [Sidhki] Sikhs.
ਮੁਹਕਮ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਰ ਦਯਾ ਸਿੰਘ, ਹਿੰਮਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਧੀਰਾ ।
[Piara] Mohkam Singh, [Piara] Daya Singh and the content [Piara] Himmat Singh were also present
panja pyareya chon, bhai daya singh ji, bhai mohkam singh ji te bhai himmat singh ji vi hajuri vich san
ਇੱਤ੍ਯਾਦਿਕ ਕਰ ਜੋਰਿ ਕੈ, ਅਸ ਗਿਰਾ ਬਖਾਨੀ ।
At that moment all three of them folded their hands and made the following supplication,
ohs samme tinna ne apne apne hath jodde te satguraan nu eh vinamr benti keeti,
'ਸ੍ਰੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਹਮੈ ਬਤਾਈਐ, ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਅਨੁਜਾਨੀ ॥੪॥
"Oh Guru Ji, please enlighten us on a topic we have no knowledge of. [4]
Satguru ji kirpa kar ke saanu ehs vishe te gyaan baksho, jide vare asi anjaan haan,
ਕਿਨ ਕੋ ਨਾਮ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਹੈ, ਕ੍ਯਾ ਕਿਰਤ ਕਰੰਤੇ ? ।
The beings known as Shaheeds, What do they do?
jede paani ne jina nu shaheed keha janda aa, oh ki karde han?
ਗਤਿ ਮਿਤ ਇਨ ਕੀ ਕੌਨ ਹੈ, ਕ੍ਯਾ ਸ਼ਕਤਿ ਧਰੰਤੇ ? ।
What is their limit? What is their code of conduct? What is their power?
ohna di haddaan, ohna dia rehet behet, te ohna dia shaktiaa ki han?
ਜਿਸ ਥਲ ਬਾਸਾ, ਹੈ ਕਿਤਿਕ, ਪਦਵੀ ਇਨ ਕੇਤੀ ।
Where do they stay? What is their elevated position?
oh kithe rehnde ne te ohna di ki awasta aa?
ਸਭਿ ਗ੍ਯਾਤਾ ਕੇ ਤੁਮ ਧਨੀ, ਕਹੀਐ ਹਮ ਸੇਤੀ'॥੫॥
You are the knower of all this knowledge, for this reason we have come to you for answers."[5]
tusi ehna saaria gala de jaanu ho, so taahi kar ke asi aap ji di sharan aaye haan,
ਸੁਨਿ ਸਿੱਖਨ ਤੇ ਗੁਰ ਹਸੇ, ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖ ਫੁਰਮਾਯੋ ।
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji laughed after hearing this question and said the following,
eh sawal sun ke pehla ta maharaj ji hass paye, fir shromani mukh chon eh bole,
'ਗੁਪਤ ਹੁਤੀ ਬੂਝੀ ਤੁਮਹੁ, ਕਹਿਬੋ ਬਨਿ ਆਯੋ ।
"This topic of which you have asked was to be kept secret but because you have asked I will answer your questions."
Singho eh sawaal, eh vishaa gupat hi rakhna si assi, par tusi saade pyaare sikh ho, asi tuhanu dassa ge ehde bhet,
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਆਪਨੀ, ਸਭਿ ਰਖਹਿਂ ਹਜੂਰੰ ।
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the protector of the Sangat
hun kawi keh rehe han,,
guru gobind singh ji apnia sangata de raakhe, pratpaalak san,
ਸੇਵਕ ਕੀ ਪਤਿ ਰਾਖਤੇ, ਆਪੇ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੰ ॥੬॥
The complete Guru is the one who protects the honour of his devotees. [6]
sampooran guru oh aa jo apne
shardhaalua da maan mahat nu kaim rakhda,
ਸੁਨਿ ਸਭਿ ਕਲਿ ਕਾਲ ਇਹੁ, ਬਰਤ੍ਯੋ ਬਡ ਘੋਰੇ ।
"Listen brotheres the age of Kaljug is very intense.
satgur ji ne furmaya, sunno mere sikho, kaljug da samaa boht teekshan, bhao gambheer hai,
ਗੁਰ ਪਾਲੀ ਸਿਖ ਸਭਿਨਿ ਕੋ, ਭਲਕਾਵ ਨ ਭੋਰੇ ।
The Guru nourishes every Sikh and does not ever forget them.
guru apne sikh di pooran pratpaalna karda hai, te ohnu kade visaarda nahi,
ਤਾੜਤਿ ਹੈ ਬਹੁ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਤੇ, ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਬਹੁ ਭੇਖਾ ।
If a Sikh does something wrong a Guru has many methods on correcting them by adopting numerous forms.
je koi sikh koi galti ya bhul kare, ta satguraan kol ohna bhula nu sudharan de bhin bhin raah hunde han, tareeke hunde han ohnu bhula da sudhar karan lai..
ਹੁਕਮ ਸੱਤਿਤਾ ਟਿਕਨਿ ਮਨ, ਸਿੱਖਨ ਗੁਰ ਦੇਖਾ ॥੭॥
A Sikh should adopt truth and accept the will of God, these are what the Guru keeps an eye on and tests. [7]
sikh nu sach te parabhu de bhaane nu mannana chahida, ehna gala te hi guru sikh uppar apni nigaah banaai rakhda,
ਜੋ ਸਾਬਤ ਹੈ ਸਿਦਕ ਮੈਂ, ਅਰ ਰਣ ਮਹਿਂ ਸੂਰਾ ।
Those who have faith will never show his back in a battlefield
jede sidki te bharose wale ne, oh kade rann bhoomi ch pith nai wakhaunde,
ਸੋ ਭਉਜਲ ਤੇ ਤਰਿ ਗਯੋ, ਪਾਯੋ ਪਦ ਰੂਰਾ ।
That being will swim across the worldly ocean if they are martyred in battle. They are liberated without needing to meditate or undergo austerities.
ehda de praani, sikh sansaar de bhaosaagar ch paar langh jaande ne, te je oh sach te dharmi judh vich shaheed ho jaan, te oh mukati nu paraapat hunde ne. chaahe ohna ne bhagti keeti hove ya nahi, naam jappeya hove ya nahi, oh bohith to paar langh jaande han..
ਜਿਨਕੇ ਸਿਦਕ ਨ ਸਾਬਤੀ, ਕਾਤੁਰ ਜੰਜਾਲੀ ।
Those who are not faithful and are trapped in attachment are lost cowards.
jedde nirshardhak te be-bharose wale prani ne, jo sansaari moh ch urjhe rehnde ne, oh anth kaayar ho marde han.
ਭਟਕਤਿ ਜਨਮ ਰੁ ਮਰਨ ਮਹਿਂ, ਸੁਖ ਤੇ ਨਿਤ ਖਾਲੀ ॥੮॥
They remain trapped in a cycle of transmigration and are forever without bliss. [8]
oh sadeev kaal lai hi kaal de geddeya ch fanse rehne ne te mud mud awagaman ch rehne ne, na hi ohna nu anand di paraapati hundi aa, dukhi rehnde ne..
ਗੁਰੂ ਖਰੇ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਸਹਿਤ, ਚਿਰਕਾਲ ਉਡੀਕੈਂ ।
I stand in the next world with the sangat waiting for the arrival of a Shaheed.
maharaaj ji sharomani mukh cho eh bachan uchaarde han,
ki mai ohna shaheed singha di udeek ehs sansaar te aggle padaa, agle dunia ch apni hor sangata naal karda haan,
ਖੋੜਸ ਤੱਤਨਿ ਦੇਹ ਧਰਿ, ਥਿਰ ਰਹੈਂ ਸੁ ਨੀਕੇ ।
The subtle body made of the sixteen facets (seventeen in Vedant) is entrapped in the cycle of transmigration
ohna da sookham shareer 16 pehluaan da baneya honda, (vedda ch 17) eh sharir awagama ch rehnda hai,
ਹਿਤ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਹਮ ਤਹਾਂ, ਤਬਿ ਬਨਹਿਂ ਸਹਾਈ ।
I will be standing to assist them in the next world to look after those who have gone off the path to be forgiven.
mai ohna lai agle sansar ch khada udikda ha, jede bhawen ehs maarag to vichlit hoe par muafi jog han,
ਦਸ ਸਹੰਸ੍ਰ ਸੰਮਤ ਲਗੌ, ਦੇਖੌਂ ਦ੍ਰਿਗ ਲਾਈ ॥੯॥
For 10000 years I will continue to watch over them. [9]
mai 10000 sala tak ohna te nigaah rakhdan
ਹਮਰੀ ਦਿਸ਼ਿ ਕੋ ਸਿੱਖ ਇਹੁ, ਚਲਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਕੈਸੇ ।
I will hope that through some method a Sikh will find a passage to me.
mai umeed karda ki sikh mera,, mere wal nu mukh kar lave, gurmukh ho jawe
ਜੋ ਆਵਹਿ ਰਲ ਜਾਤਿ ਹੈ, ਸਿੱਖਨਿ ਮਹਿਂ ਤੈਸੇ ।
Those who state their misdeeds and come back into the order should still be considered your brother
jede apni bhula nu kabul len te hukum ch, sharni aa jaan ohna nu apne bhai jaan'na karo,
ਸਿੱਖ ਛਪੰਜਾ ਕ੍ਰੋੜ ਹੈਂ, ਸੌਂਪੇ ਗੁਰ ਹਾਥਾ ।
I have been blessed with an order of 560,000,000 Shaheeds by God
maharaj ne keha, mainu 56 cror shaheeda da kotta baksheya akaal purakh ne..
ਹੁਕਮ ਅਹੈ ਕਰਤਾਰ ਕੋ, ਸਭਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਸਨਾਥਾ ॥੧੦॥
They are all under my subjecation and liberated. [10]
oh saare mere hi adheen han. te mai hi ohna nu mukti dinda,
ਸ਼ੁੱਧ ਧਰਮ ਕਰਿ ਕੈ ਇਨਹੁਂ, ਕਲਿ ਕਾਲ ਮਝਾਰਾ ।
By making them pure I have sent them to Sachkhand
ohna nu khalis te shudh karan to uprant mai ohna nu sachkhan bhej ta hai.
ਕਰੋ ਉਧਾਰਨ ਜਗਤ ਤੇ, ਲਹਿਂ ਸਿੰਧ ਕਿਨਾਰਾ ।
They cross over the worldly ocean to safety after helping the world
oh ehs jag di madad, loka da udhar karan to baad sansaari saagar nu surkhian paar kar lende ne.
ਉਤ ਤੇ ਲੋਕ ਕੁਬੇਰ ਲਗਿ, ਇਤ ਭੂ ਪਰ ਸਾਰੇ ।
From the realm of Kuber to this planet.
kuber di viraasat ton lai ke ehs greh tak,
ਗੁਰੂ ਉਡੀਕਹਿਂਗੇ ਖਰੇ, ਸਿਖ ੳਰ ਨਿਹਾਰੇ ॥੧੧॥
I will stand and await for the arrival of my Sikh who has returned to the order. [11]
mai apne sikh di khade pair udeek karda han, jo hukam te bhaane ch reh ke mud aunda.
ਧਨਦ ਲੋਕ ਭਵ ਲੋਕ ਲਗਿ, ਬਿਚਰਹਿਂ ਗਨ ਸਾਰੇ ।
The Shaheeds live between this world and the realm of Kuber
shaheed, kuber de raaj de asthaan te ehr sansaar de madh di dunia ch rehnde ne
ਜਿਨ ਕੋ ਨਾਮ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਹੈ, ਸਭਿ ਪਰ ਬਲ ਧਾਰੇਂ ।
Those who are known as Shaheeds have a vast amount of power
jede shaheed kar ke jaane jaande aa, ohna kol aseem shaktia hundia,
ਜਸ ਜਸ ਹੁਇ ਇਨ ਭਾਵਨਾ, ਤਸ ਤਸ ਸਿਧ ਹੋਵੈ ।
Whatever is their desire will become manifest
jo vi ohna di ichha hundi hai, saaf taur te vyakt ho jandi hai,
ਭੂਤ ਪ੍ਰੇਤ ਅਸੁਰਾਨ ਪਰ, ਸਭਿ ਕੋ ਇਹ ਜੋਵੈਂ ॥੧੨॥
The ghost, animals, demons jinns are all under the Shaheeds subjecation. [12]
bhoot pret, jaanwar, daint te jinn shaheeda de adheen han
ਪਸੁ, ਪੰਖੀ, ਨਗ, ਨਾਗ, ਨਰੁ, ਜਛੁ, ਗੰਧ੍ਰਬ ਬ੍ਰਿੰਦਾ ।
The animals, birds, mountains, snakes, human beings and Gandharvs
pashu panchhi, pahaad, sapp, praan dhaari insaan sab shaheeda de adheen han,
ਰਾਖਸ਼ਿ ਆਦਿਕ ਅਪਸਰਾ, ਧਰਿ ਸ਼ਕਤਿ ਬਿਲੰਦਾ ।
The demons and nymphs are under will of the shaheeds
daint te apsraawan vi shaheeda di ichhashakti de adheen han.
ਹੁਕਮ ਸ਼ਹੀਦਨਿ ਕੋ ਚਲਹਿ, ਇਨ ਸਭਿ ਪਰ ਜਾਨੋ ।
Understand that the will of the Shaheeds is on all of these
eh gal samajh lao, ehna saareya uppar shaheeda di ichhashakti raaj kardi hai..
ਅਪਰਨ ਕੀ ਗਿਨਤੀ ਕਹਾਂ, ਜਮਦੂਤ ਮਹਾਨੋ ॥੧੩॥
What other beings should i talk about as the angels of death are also under the command of Shaheeds. [13]
hun kalgidhar ji furmaunde han, ki mai hor kise di ji gal kara, etho tak mot de doot vi shaheeda de hi adheen han..
ਬੂਝਿ ਸ਼ਹੀਦਨਿ ਕੋ ਫਿਰਹਿਂ, ਉਰ ਮਹਿਂ ਡਰ ਧਾਰੇ ।
These beings will fear the Shaheeds in their heart and will always confer with them prior to making decisions
eh sab apneya mannaa ch shaheeda da bhaiy ohna da darr dhaarde ne, te kuj vi faisla lain to pehla shaheeda to puchde vichaarde ne.
ਲੋਕ ਕਹੈਂ ਬੈਤਾਨ ਇਨ੍ਹ, ਲਖਿ ਭੇਦ ਉਦਾਰੇ ।
Those people who do not know them will be in doubt confusing them for vampires / evil spirits [Betal]
jedde log shaheeda vare jaankari nai rakhde, oh ehs uljhan ch fasse rehne ne k ya te eh betaal bhao maadia rooha ne ya khoon peen vaale praani ne.
ਸ਼ਾਸਤ੍ਰਾਨਿ ਕੋ ਪਠੈਂ ਜੋ, ਸੋ ਇਨ ਕੇ ਨਾਮੂ ।
Within the Shaastars this is the name given for these beings.
shaashtaran vich vi shaheeda nu ehi naam ditte gaye ne.
ਬਿਦ੍ਯਾਧਰ ਭਾਖਤਿ ਸਕਲ, ਬਿਲਸਤਿ ਅਭਿਰਾਮੂ ॥੧੪॥
The Vidyadhar deities who live in the ether are under the command of the Shaheeds. [14]
vidyaa da dhaarni vidyadhar devte, jede rang heen draww bhao colorless liquid ch rehnde han, oh vi shaheeda de aadesh ch rehnda ne..
ਲਖਹੁ ਅਸ਼ੁਭ ਭੀ ਇਨਹੁਂ ਮੈਂ, ਸ਼ੁਭ ਅਹੈਂ ਘਨੇਰੇ ।
The non auspicious and auspicious are both under the subjecation of the Shaheeds
samooh shubh te ashubh, sab shaheeda de adheen aa.
ਹੈ ਸੁਭਾਵ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਬਿਧਿਨਿ ਗੁਨ, ਸਤ ਰਜ ਤਮ ਕੇਰੇ ।
Some of the Shaheeds are made of considerable Sato virtue, Tamo virtue and Rajo virtue [guna].
kuj shaheed rajo gun , juj tapo gun te kuj sato gun de banne hunde han.
ਸੰਗਤ ਤੇ ਪੁਜਵਾਵਈਂ, ਜੋ ਹੈ ਇਨ ਕੇਰੀ ।
The congregation worship the shaheeds
jinnia vi sabhaa, samooh ne, sab shaheeda nu poojde ne.
ਪੂਰੀ ਕਰਤਿ ਸੁ ਕਾਮਨਾ, ਜਸੁ ਜਨ ਹੈ ਕੇਰੀ ॥੧੫॥
Whatever a person desires is completed by the Shaheed Singhs. [15]
manukh kuj vi praapt karan di ichha karan, ohna nu poora shaheeda ne hi karna hai.
ਦੁਖ ਸੁਖ ਕੇ ਦਾਤਾ ਅਹੈਂ, ਦੇਤੇ ਸਭਿ ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ।
They are the granters of bliss and sorrow and grant it to all
sukha te dukhaan, dono nu den vaale shaheed han,
ਸਰਬ ਕਲਾ ਸਮਰੱਥ ਇਹੁ, ਧਰਿ ਸ਼ਕਤਿ ਮਹਾਨੀ ।
They have every type of power and are themselves very powerful
har tara di taakat de oh dhani ne, te oh aap hi att shaktishaali ne..
ਦੇ ਕਰਿ ਇਨ ਕੋ ਭਰਤਖੰਡ, ਸੁਰ ਸੁਰਗ ਸਿਧਾਰੇ ।
The deities handed over the land of India (Bharat Khand) to the Shaheed Singhs and left for heaven
devteya ne bhaarat khand da samuh beerhaa shaheeda nu soump ke, aap surgaan nu chalaana kar leya,
ਬੈਠੇ ਜਾਇ ਨਿਚਿੰਤ ਹੁਇ, ਸਾਂਭੀ ਸਭਿ ਕਾਰੇ ॥੧੬॥
The deities are sat without worry as the Shaheeds are controlling all of their work. [ 16]
Hun oh aap achint ho ke bethe ne kyo ki jaande ne ki shaheed sab kuj niyantarit kar rahe ne,
ਪਹੁਂਚਹਿ ਜੋ ਦੇਵਨ ਸਭਿਨਿ, ਅਰਪਤਿ ਜੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ।
Whichever being comes to the earth, even if they are taken away by the angels of death understand that they are doing this in accordance to the will of the Shaheed Singhs
jo vi sansaar ch aunda te jeda koi kaal de doota walo khaaya jaanda hai, samajh lao ki oh vi shaheed singha di ichhaa anusaar ho reha hai,
ਹਾਥ ਸ਼ਹੀਦਨਿ ਹੋਇ ਕੈ, ਜੈ ਹੈ ਸਭਿ ਥਾਨੀ ।
Everything is in the hands of the Shaheeds and they are praised everywhere
sab kuj shaheeda de hath hai te ohna di har thaa tareef, parshansa keeti jaandi hai,
ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖ, ਇਸੁ ਕਾਰ ਲਗਾਏ ।
It is God the creator of all who has given them this duty
oh ik akaal hi hai ehna sabda rachaita, jenne shaheeda nu ehna uddeshaan, sewa naal nivaajeya hai,
ਹੁਇ ਸੁਚੇਤ ਨਿਤ ਕਰਤਿ ਹੈਂ, ਕਬਿ ਨਹਿਂ ਬਿਸਰਾਏ ॥੧੭॥
They never fail their duty and are forever ready. [17]
oh kadde apne kise kammo asafal nai hunde,
ਹੈਂ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਸਭਿ ਰੀਤਿ ਕੇ, ਲਘੁ ਬ੍ਰਿੰਦ ਬਿਸਾਲਾ ।
The Shaheeds come in different types some are big and some are small
shaheed bhinn taraa de hunde han, kuj chhotte te kuj ohto wadde,
ਭੋਜਨ ਅਨਿਕ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਕੇ, ਅਚਵਹਿਂ ਸਭਿ ਕਾਲਾ ।
They consume infinate types of food
oh anant / aseemit kisam de bhoj shakde han,
ਸੂਖਮ ਬਸਤ੍ਰਨਿ ਬਰਨ ਬਹੁ, ਨਿਜ ਤਨ ਪਰ ਧਾਰੇ ।
They wear different coloured subtle clothing on their bodies
oh addo add kisam de att sookham bastar apne shareer te dhaaran karde aa
ਅਸਵਾਰੀ ਸਭਿ ਰੀਤਿ ਕੀ, ਆਰੋਹਿ ਬਿਹਾਰੇ ॥੧੮॥
They can travel on any vessel/vehicle and are constanly found on a vehicle [such as a chariot or on the back of an animal]
oh kisse vi jal waahan ya hor hor sawaari te yaatra kar sakde aa, oh bohte taur te kise ratth ya kise pashu di pith te sawaar dekhe jaande ne,
ਅਸਨ ਬਸਨ ਬਾਹਨ ਭਲੇ, ਜੇਤਿਕ ਇਹੁ ਲੈ ਹੈਂ ।
To eat and to wear they can have anything as no one can prevent them
kuj khaane ya pehenane nu oh kuj vi dhaaran kar sakde aa, koi vi ohna nu rok nai sakda,
ਸਭੈ ਮੁਹਾਬ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਗਨ, ਜਿਮ ਕਿਮ ਕੋ ਦੈ ਹੈਂ ।
They are allowed to ride on any vessel and are not prevented to enter any realm
shaheed kise vi jalyaan rath te safar kar sakan nu ajaad ne te koi vi ohna nu kise desh viraasat, khetar ch daakhal hon to nai rok sakda,
ਸਭਿ ਦੀਪਕ ਸਭਿ ਖੰਡ ਕੋ, ਸਭਿ ਸੈਲਨ ਸੈਲਾ ।
The Shaheeds can go into land or sea no one can prevent them
oh jal te thal kitte vi vichar sakde aa, koi nai rok sakda ohna nu..
ਸਾਗਰ ਸਲਿਤਾ ਪਰ ਫਿਰਹਿਂ, ਭੂਲਹਿਂ ਨਹਿਂ ਭੈਲਾ ॥੧੯॥
They can walk on water, air and the earth, they can go anywhere. [19]
oh jal, thal te paun kitte vi chal fir sakde aa, kithe vi jaa sakan nu ajaad ne,
ਅਵਲੋਕਹਿਂ ਸਭਿ ਥਲ ਬਿਚਰਿ, ਮਾਯਾ ਜੁ ਤਮਾਸ਼ਾ ।
They see the game of Maya being played out everywhere
oh chohaa paase Maaya de pasaare nu, ohdi khed nu vekh sakde aa,
ਜਥਾ ਬਿਪਸ਼ਚਿਤ ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਭਯੋ, ਕੀਨੀ ਤਿਨ ਆਸਾ ।
In the way Raja Bipishchit kept the following support,
jidda ki raja Bipishchit ne heth darj aasara rakheyaa,
ਮਾਯਾ ਕੋ ਦੇਖਨਿ ਗਯੋ, ਚਹੁਂ ਕੁੰਟ ਮਝਾਰਾ ।
He went to see Maya in the four directions of the world
ohne sansaar di chaare dishaawa wal nu payaana keeta, te maaya de pasaare nu vekhna chaaheya,
ਦੇਖਤਿ ਦੇਖਤਿ ਨਹਿਂ ਮੁਰ੍ਯੋ, ਨਹਿਂ ਅੰਤ ਨਿਹਾਰਾ ॥੨੦॥
He kept on seeing Maya and saw no end, in this way he never returned or saw his demise. [20]
ohnu har paasse hi maaya da aseem pargataawa disda reha, jida koi ant naa si, ehs taraa oh pichhaan nu nahi mudeya, te naa hi ohnu apne ant da gyan hoya,
ਤਿਮ ਹੀ ਸਕਲ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਇਹੁ, ਜਗ ਪਿਖਹਿਂ ਤਮਾਸ਼ਾ ।
They watch the game being played in creation"
shaheed singh maya di khed nu akaal di ehs rachana ch har thaan lipat/rammi hoi vekhde renne ne.
ਤਨ ਜੌਨੀ ਅਪਰ ਨ ਧਰਹਿਂ, ਜਿਮੁ ਜੀਵ ਸੁ ਆਸਾ ।
The Khalsa asked,"Do they undergo transmigration?"
fir shiromani satguraan to khalse ne puchna keeta, ki oh awaagaman ch aunde han?
ਭਰਮਤਿ ਨਹਿਂ ਮਰਿਬੇ ਜਨਮ, ਸਿਰ ਪਰ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰਾ ।
Guru Gobind Singh Ji replied,"They do not undergo transmigration and the complete Guru remains above their heads.
satguru ji bole, nahi, oh awagaman to mukat han, kyoki samrath te sampooran guru da hath atte kira sadda ohna uppar hundi hai.
ਪਾਲੀ ਸਭਿ ਸੰਭਾਲਿ ਲੇ, ਕਹਿ ਕੈ ਬਚ ਰੂਰਾ ॥੨੧॥
The Guru raises the Shaheed and looks after them. [21]
guru hi shaheed singha di pratpaalna karda hai, te ohna di di dekh bhaal karda hai.
ਸਬਲ ਸਮੂਹ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਕੀ, ਗਤਿ ਮਿਤਿ ਲਖਿ ਐਸੇ ।
Understand this to be the code of conduct and way of life for a Shaheed
Hey Sikho! Ehnu shaheeda di rehet behet jaan'na karo.
ਤੁਮ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਿਯ ਸਿੱਖ ਹੋ, ਬੂਝੀ, ਕਹਿ ਤੈਸੇ ।
[Piara] Daya Singh you are my beloved Sikh so due to this I have told you what i know about them
Daya Singh ji tusi saade preey ho, jede kaaran asi aapnu ehe jaankaari ditti hai,
ਅਹੈਂ ਸਾਥ ਜੇ ਸ਼ਕਤਿ ਧਰਿ, ਤਿਨ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਜੋਈ ।
The nine Naths congregate to see the Shaheeds
jedde 9 naath han, oh shaheeda de darshanaa lai ekattar hunde han.
ਸਿੱਧ ਅਹੈਂ ਸਮੁਦਾਇ ਸੋ, ਸਿੱਧੀ ਧਰ ਸੋਈ ॥੨੨॥
The eighty four Sidhs are also under the will and command of the Shaheeds. [22]
84 sidh vi shaheeda de adheen han, ohna de hukam vich han,
ਹੈਂ ਦੀਨ ਵਾਲੀ ਜਿਸੈ, ਬਹੁ ਦੀਨ ਕਮਾਵੈ ।
The nation of prophet Mohammed [The Muslim people] are also under the subjection of the Shaheeds
paigambar mohammad saheb te ohna de muslin dharmi log vi shaheeda de wass han.
ਲਖਹੁ ਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਕੀ ਅਹੈ, ਤਿਹ ਨਿਕਟ ਰਹਾਵੈ ।
The hundreds and thousands of muslims are under the subjecation of the Shaheeds and Mohammed stays close to them
sankadde hajaaraan musalmaan shaheeda de hukam vi han., te mohammad saheb ohna de sameep ho vassde ne,
ਨਾਮ ਜਨਾਇਤ ਤਾਂਹਿ ਕੌ, ਜਗ ਬਿਖੈ ਕਹਾਵੈ ।
In the world the Muslim nation is well known and they remain under the command of the Shaheeds
ehs sansaar vich islaam parchallat panth hai, oh vi shaheeda de hajur hath banni khadda hai..
ਕ੍ਯਾ ਕਹੀਯਹਿ ਇਸ ਬਾਤ ਕੋ, ਕ੍ਯਾ ਕਿਸਹਿ ਸੁਨਾਵੈਂ ॥੨੩॥
What should we say and who should we tell about the Shaheed Singhs. [23]
asi ehna vaare ki kahiye te kenu kaheeye? Agaadh katha hai!
ਨਿਗੁਰੇ ਬੇਮੁਖ ਹੋਤਿ ਜੇ, ਕਰਤੇ ਮਨ ਭਾਯਾ ।
The bad, apostates and those who live in accordance to their mind
maade bande jo apni matt anusaar rehnde han,
ਤਨ ਤ੍ਯਾਗਤਿ ਹੁਇਂ ਭੂਤਨੇ, ਤਨ ਪ੍ਰੇਤ ਕੁ ਪਾਯਾ ।
When they die they will become ghosts
jaddo oh marde aa, pret ban jaande han,
ਤਨ ਤ੍ਯਾਗਤਿ ਹੁਇਂ ਭੂਤਨੇ, ਤਨ ਪ੍ਰੇਤ ਕੁ ਪਾਯਾ ।
When they die they will become ghosts and then be given a ghostly body
marno baad ohna nu pisaachaan da shareer parapat hunda hai,
ਸੰਕਟ ਬਿਖੈ ਬਿਤਾਵਤੇ, ਨਿਜ ਬੈਸ ਮਹਾਂਨੀ ।
Then they will endure a life of hardship
fir oho kathnaaiya bhari jindagi basar karde aa,
ਗੁਰ ਬਿਨ ਕਿਮ ਸੁਖ ਕੌ ਲਹੈਂ, ਅੰਧੇ ਅੱਗ੍ਯਾਨੀ'॥੨੪॥
Without the Guru how can an ignorant person gain peace and bliss?"[24]
guru baahjho ehe agyaani, kidda mukti te anand nu parapat ho sakde han?
ਸੁਨਿ ਸਿੱਖਨਿ ਗੁਰ ਕੋ ਬਚਨ, ਮਨ ਬਿਖੈ ਬਸਾਯੋ ।
All of the Sikhs listened to the words of the Guru and adopted the teachings of the Guru
sarbbatt samooh sikh sangat ne satguraan de ehna saare amrit mayi bachana nu sarwan keeta, te apne amal vich lyaanda.
'ਧੰਨ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਪੂਰਨ ਕਲਾ, ਤੁਮ ਸਕਲ ਬਤਾਯੋ ।
[Piara] Daya Singh Ji said,"Oh God, master, you are truely complete and have told us everything
daya singh ji ne kehna keeta, ki he Parmeshar Naanak Saroop Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj! Aap ji sach vich sampooran te samrath guru ho!! Saanu saare sawaala de jawaab ditte ne!
ਪਰੇ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਮਲਿਨ, ਲਿਹੁ ਆਪ ਸੁਧਾਰੀ ।
Oh King we are full of dirt and have come into your shelter
ji mahaaraaj: guru garib nivaaj, asi puri tara maile haa, jo aapdi sharan aaye haan,
ਕ੍ਯਾ ਜਾਨਹਿਂ ਨਰ ਮੰਦ ਮਤਿ, ਗਤਿ ਅਗਮ ਅਪਾਰੀ ॥੨੫॥
beings like us with bad mind, what are we to understand or know? Your knowledge is beyond comprehension."[25]
In all honesty, I personally feel it has had the opposite effect to a road block !
It has made me realise that i have a very long way to still go and there is so much more. As an idea, I feel it is ONLY a fraction (1/10th) of the complete journey to sachkhand.
The only thing that can worry me at times is that I may feel that everyone thinks I'm becoming introverted and detached. But I am far from that because I feel much more in touch and attached with REALITY.
Dear Guest Shabad Yoga,
in my humble opinion, you are not wrong at all, on the contrary, if you are experiencing all this what you have said, I can well say, be thankful to the Almighty from the bottom of your heart, for blessing you to arise your soul consciousness above the gross maya and matter and have the taste of the of eternal life giving Amrit within, which is all that religion and spirituality are about.
Along with His grace, my best wishes, so you may go farther and farther within, and realize your goal of life as soon as possible.
Probably been mentioned before but useful explanation of swas swas simran. I wasn't aware that stage 3 of swas swas simran involved exhaling slightly forcefully through the nostrils to help balance the pavan.
Stage 1.
Inhale and mentally say Wahe on exhale verbally say Guruuuu
Stage 2.
Like stage 1 but Guruu more quieter (madhma)
Stage 3. (Internal Antargat)
Mouth closed breathing through the nose. Wahe on inhale and Guru on exhale both japped mentally but in this stage your forcing the Guruuu exhale out through the nostrils to help sum the pavan/air flow in both nostrils. Noticed few Gurmukhs (Bhai Dharamjit Singh) are reluctant to reveal or encourage you to try this vidi of this simran alone at home, because it can lead to deeper experiences more quickly. They advise only doing this in the sangat where if one enters a deeper state then they can manage it and your family will not get concerned if you enter a samadhi state and become unresponsive.
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?
Would love to know Ji, I only know of almonds, cashews, wallnut. Think there's 7?
Sandalwood incense? Any others? 🌞
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.

Reading this makes me smile 😁 I never actually took note of the sensor itself but it's solely based on movement and does not react to light. It does need a certain level of luminosity to be triggered i.e if it's light then it automatically won't go off, it has to be dark like when it's night time. It's placed in the centre of the hall and can pick up movement from 360degrees. The hallway and areas where the motion sensor lights are, are basically passeges to other rooms. There isn't any candles/incense/jot lit in these areas. And absolutely no source of air currents, afterall, our houses in the UK are actually built well 😆😉.
Now, for context, we have Mahraaj upstairs in their own room, and downstairs we have a shastaar room where Sukhmani Sahib is being played 24/7. The house itself is full of devotional Gursikhs and we try to do kirtan on a daily basis, during the time when the lights get triggered we are all doing bhagti so it eliminates any of us causing it.
There are other factors which would incline for Shaheed Singhs to be guarding/present however I wish not to state them as I don't want to come across as speaking from ego. Ultimately, I'm just sharing my experiences and I would love to hear if you have heard or experienced of anything similar. As Vaheguru wills, we move closer 🙏🏼

At 44seconds into this video there is an extra line that I have not been reciting, is this meant to be there? What does it mean ⚔️
Also, in this same video there isn't the Dohra, I'm assuming during every round of recitation you include the Dohra alongside the, ik oangkar Sri Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh, Bram Kavach aswell. Well this is how I've been reciting.
