Unfortunately our Singh did a u turn since the last good result and slowly climbed back up the severity ladder. Not much more than doctors can do except keep him under the blue lights to try and breakdown the jaundice for him until the results of detailed blood tests come back which will take weeks. After that top liver consultants in the country will see him but our local hospital has already consulted them and I don't have much faith. Really difficult time for the Mrs and I. I can't seem to focus on my jaap anymore but still try and do whatever little I can.

Sangat ji it looks like our ardas is being heard and Waheguru ji's grace is being bestowed. Today the doctors are surprised to see a reading of 145. Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru

Raagmala ji, thank you for the shabad suggestions. Other members including my wife are reciting chopai as much as they can. For me personally my faith and love is in his naam as you stated with the shabad Sarab Rog Ka Aukhad Naam. My waheguru knows my hearts desire when I jap his naam at this present time. I will stick with the one mantar in which I have full faith and which I feel penetrates my deepest levels of my heart and mind. I call to him and only him to shower his grace if he so desires.

His jaundice levels are slowly going down and setting new all time lows. With guru ji's grace we pray the trend continues. Doctors were saying he would remain in the 250 range. Yesterday he fell to 215. He needs to reach 100-150 to stop treatments. Waheguru One of my favourite shabads: thila(n)g mehalaa 5 ghar 3 || Tilang, Fifth Mehla, Third House: miharavaan saahib miharavaan || Merciful, the Lord Master is Merciful. saahib maeraa miharavaan || My Lord Master is Merciful. jeea sagal ko dhaee dhaan || rehaao || He gives His gifts to all beings. ||Pause|| thoo kaahae ddolehi praaneeaa thudhh raakhaigaa sirajanehaar || Why do you waver, O mortal being?

Matheen, your absolutely right about everything is Waheguru's hukam however to feel a sence of love and parental responsibility for your child is also a natural human emotion. Ultimately yes I understand the bigger picture and I hope the teachings which my guru has imparted upon me run deep enough to accept whatever path he has laid out for us.

My dear friends on this forum my son is still in the intensive care. For some unexplainable reason his liver is not able to clear jaundice on its own. The doctors have treated him with phototherapy which is a blue light which breaks down the yellowish look you sometimes see in newborn children. In his case his jaundice reaches treatment levels again within 24 hours of turning off the lights. If jaundice reaches very high levels it can effect the brain causing staining hence killing off that part of the brain. His levels went severely high but were bought down with light therapy. In almost all cases treatment stops when levels reach certain levels and the liver cleans up the rest. In his case doctors are claiming his liver might not have the required enzymes to breakdown the bilurubin (yellow pigmentation) for natural excretion. For the next week they are treating him by not turning off the lights at all and giving him an enzyme inducer drug to see if his enzymes are just lazy and need to be awakened. If this doesn't work even the doctors don't know what they will do next. Ever so quickly consultants say their limits have been reached as far as western medicine is concerned. Prayer is all they are suggesting to us at the moment. Just pray the medicine works. They say it's a long shot but are giving it a try. Rest now is Waheguru's hands.. I have never felt so helpless and empty like this before. The little fella is only a few weeks old and is just a beautiful little Singh. My dreams I had for him that I would sit down with him to teach him a little bit about simran have just been shattered. It was my only wish for him that he would take my little knowledge and desire for simran and hopefully succeed in the purpose of this life. I wanted to start him so young where I have only grasped the basic concepts in my late 30's. Anyway it's not over till the fat lady sings so best to be positive and pray waheguru showers his grace. I just go to the hospital and sit there with him and do jaap near him. If I'm lucky he is awake and looks up at me as I slowly do the jaap gently so he can hear. I was sitting in the hospital beside his incubator the other night in the early hours of the morning. A nurse who I never saw before came up to me and asked if I believed in god? I said I did and she said, "so do I." She said the best thing i could do for my son was pray. "pray like you have never prayed before and those lights will come off and your son will get better."

Really divine elevating simran session recently recorded. http://soundcloud.com/satwant13/20131115-simran-veer-manpreet

Thanks to everyone for their kind words and prayers and personal messages of support. As Ragmaala quite rightly said " ik takeya bharosa tereyan charna hor sabe dhayian dherian." Waheguruuuuuu!!!! Just thought I'd share with you all a recent recording I did of a really divine simran session by Veer Manpreet Singh ji. It's really deep powerful elevating simran. Hope you enjoy... http://soundcloud.com/satwant13/20131115-simran-veer-manpreet

I think waheguru is about to give me the biggest exam of my life. The past years simran, gurbani reading is about to be put to the test. My faith in one and only waheguru is going to be challenged. Will I be able to accept his hukam. Why do I say this? Because my son who is only a few weeks old is in intensive care and the consultant has almost given up and says all you can do is pray and hope for a miracle. They believe my son has a extremely rare condition of which I will not go into details but it doesn't look good. I have decided on the name Hargun Singh for my son. If you have a spare moment sangat ji my humble benti with folded hands and tears in my eyes please say just one Waheguru in his his name. Maybe waheguru ji will listen and save him.......

We have been staying with my parents for the past week since my son has come home. I sometimes hear the harmonic sound in my old bedroom at night. The skeptic in me had this tiny doubt the sound was result of electrical wires or even air in pipes in my own place. But the sound is almost identical in another property so I'm ruling out it not localised to the place where I live. Hope everyone else is progressing with their naam simran for mine has taken bit of a hit since the little one's birth. I'm beginning to find out first hand what they mean by moh, gosh I'm becoming so attached to the little Singh it frightens me, in a good way that is.

Here is the live recording from Sunday 27th October 2013 http://soundcloud.com/satwant12/20131027-veer-manpreet-singh Shabads: 1. Jihva ek kavan gun kahiye 2. Tera naam roorro roop roorro ath rang roorro maero raameeaa 3. Tuhi Tuhi Focus was on naam...

Waheguru blessed us with a beautiful baby boy yesterday as I write this after the most gruelling 3 days of my life . Thanks for all the congrats. I've been observing the little fella in the early hours of his life and all his random two second cries the back to sleep and think to myself is his liv still with waheguru. How so innocent and pure his mind must be.

I'm sitting here at nearly 1am in the labour ward. Waheguru is sending down another soul into this world and trusting us with its seva. I hope it's a spiritual atma. Can't wait to teach it what I didn't know when I was a child. Waheguru Waheguru and more Waheguru and only Waheguru

That's great news Ragmaala. Glad you found it inspirational.

Amazing Lucky, thanks for sharing. From what little I know it is great your doing simran till you fall asleep. If you manage to keep your consciousness awake yet your body falls asleep then I think your progressing towards the stage called sunn. I have experienced that a couple of times when I do simran on the train on my way to work. I can feel my head has dropped as if nodding off yet I am fully awake within, very strange feeling indeed. If you can hear the anhad shabad in the sunn then it is even better. Believe this is what they meant by dying in the shabad. I often wonder why so much emphasis is put on amrit vela hours. Yes it's quiet peaceful and your mind might be more still in the early hours because you don't have all the thoughts of the day but I also think it is directing you to do simran at the time so your consciousness slips between being awake and sleep more easily. Dhan Ho Guru Kay Pyaray

There are 4 levels of consciousness : waking | dreaming | deep sleep | turiya (aka chota pad) The transition line between waking and dreaming is called unmani. Line between dreaming and deep sleep is called aladani 3rd line is samadhi of which there are numerous types. Diagram on this page http://www.swamij.com/om.htm This was all explained in part 6 or 7 Transition between Waking and Dreaming: There is a transition stage between Waking and Dreaming states (or between Conscious and Unconscious states). The name of this transition stage of consciousness is Unmani. Unmani does not just refer to the personal experience between Waking and Dreaming. Rather, it is the name of that transition level of consciousness itself. (Like many words, the word Unmani is used in different ways. In other contexts, it is also used to mean Samadhi or Turiya.)

Search this post for unman. I posted a couple of pangtis with it in. Ang 332, Bhagat Kabir ji One who remains dead while yet alive, will live even after death; thus he merges into the Primal Void of the Absolute Lord. jeevat marai marai fun jeevai aisay sunn samaa-i-aa. Remaining pure in the midst of impurity, he will never again fall into the terrifying world-ocean. ||1|| anjan maahi niranjan rahee-ai bahurh na bhavjal paa-i-aa. ||1|| O my Lord, this is the milk to be churned. mayray raam aisaa kheer bilo-ee-ai. Through the Guru`s Teachings, hold your mind steady and stable, and in this way, drink in the Ambrosial Nectar. ||1||Pause|| gurmat manoo-aa asthir raakho in biDh amrit pee-o-ee-ai. ||1|| rahaa-o. The Guru`s arrow has pierced the hard core of this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, and the state of enlightenment has dawned. gur kai baan bajar kal chhaydee pargati-aa pad pargaasaa. In the darkness of Maya, I mistook the rope for the snake, but that is over, and now I dwell in the eternal home of the Lord. ||2|| sakat aDhayr jayvrhee bharam chookaa nihchal siv ghar baasaa. ||2|| Maya has drawn her bow without an arrow, and has pierced this world, O Siblings of Destiny. tin bin baanai Dhanakh chadhaa-ee-ai ih jag bayDhi-aa bhaa-ee. The drowning person is blown around in the ten directions by the wind, but I hold tight to the string of the Lord`s Love. ||3|| dah dis boodee pavan jhulaavai dor rahee liv laa-ee. ||3|| The disturbed mind has been absorbed in the Lord; duality and evil-mindedness have run away. unman manoo-aa sunn samaanaa dubiDhaa durmat bhaagee. Says Kabeer, I have seen the One Lord, the Fearless One; I am attuned to the Name of the Lord. ||4||2||46|| kaho kabeer anbha-o ik daykhi-aa raam naam liv laagee. ||4||2||46||

This is got to be one of the craziest things I have ever heard. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24516181 Sikhs react : http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/sikhs-will-use-allah-as-it-is-in-their-holy-scriptures-says-gurdwara-counci Just in case your interested : http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Allah

This last video in the series really elegantly explains the importance and significance of mantra jaap. Must watch if your passionate about Waheguru jaap.Hopefully you will gain even more faith and love for it. Was really nice to hear Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji mentioned a few times with pangtis from gurbani. If your interested in learning about states of Ishwar and Brahm and the journey to turiya avasta then watch the earlier parts. I was surprised to learn that "unmani" refers to the stage between waking and dreaming. There are references to unman in gurbani but I never quite understood what it meant beyond inward mind Enjoy Waheguru

I've been watching this sensation recently which seems to happen after a few minutes of japing and have just realised what is happening. Powerful diaphragmatic movement/breathing is automatically engaging and perfectly synchronizing with the jaap. That is giving the sensation of a strong up down motion between chest and stomach. The diaphragm is acting like a vaja. I wonder if this is what guru ji was hinting at. Ang 174 O Lord, the music of the praanic wind is deep within, O my Lord of the Universe; as the Lord Himself plays this music, so does it vibrate and resound. har antar vaajaa pa-un hai mayray govindaa har aap vajaa-ay ti-o vaajai jee-o. O Lord, the treasure of the Naam is deep within, O my Lord of the Universe; through the Word of the Guru`s Shabad, the Lord God is revealed. har antar naam niDhaan hai mayray govindaa gur sabdee har parabh gaajai jee-o. Ang 922 The Lord placed the soul to the cave of the body, and blew the breath of life into the musical instrument of the body. har jee-o gufaa andar rakh kai vaajaa pavan vajaa-i-aa. He blew the breath of life into the musical instrument of the body, and revealed the nine doors; but He kept the Tenth Door hidden. vajaa-i-aa vaajaa pa-un na-o du-aaray pargat kee-ay dasvaa gupat rakhaa-i-aa. Through the Gurdwara, the Guru`s Gate, some are blessed with loving faith, and the Tenth Door is revealed to them. gurdu-aarai laa-ay bhaavnee iknaa dasvaa du-aar dikhaa-i-aa. Ang 1260 The breath vibrates through this frail body; the Gurmukh obtains the ambrosial nectar. dayhee kaachee pa-un vajaa-ay gurmukh amrit paa-ee. Ang 351 : Guru Nanak Dev ji The Name has no form or outline; it vibrates with the unstruck Sound Current; through the Word of the Shabad, the Immaculate Lord is revealed. tis roop na raykh anaahad vaajai sabad niranjan kee-aa. One can speak on this only when he knows it. karay vakhi-aan jaanai jay ko-ee. He alone drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar. Pause amrit peevai so-ee.rahaa-o. Those who drink it in are enraptured; their bonds and shackles are cut away. jinH pee-aa say masat bha-ay hai tootay banDhan faahay. When one`s light blends into the Divine Light, then the desire for Maya is ended. jotee jot samaanee bheetar taa chhoday maa-i-aa kay laahay. Among all lights, I behold Your Form; all the worlds are Your Maya. sarab jot roop tayraa daykhi-aa sagal bhavan tayree maa-i-aa Among the tumults and forms, He sits in serene detachment; He bestows His Glance of Grace upon those who are engrossed in the illusion. raarai roop niraalam baithaa nadar karay vich chhaa-i-aa. The Yogi who plays on the instrument of the Shabad gains the Blessed Vision of the Infinitely Beautiful Lord. beenaa sabad vajaavai jogee darsan roop apaaraa He, the Lord, is immersed in the Unstruck Shabad of the Word, says Nanak, the humble and meek. sabad anaahad so saho raataa naanak kahai vichaaraa.

I'm sorry that is taking things too far and is just gross. It doesn't matter if anyone else can taste it because your own senses are telling you there is something sweet in the mouth. That's enough for me.

Being totally honest with you all. Please don't think I'm some mega abhyaasi. I am not actually putting in as much effort as you might think. I'm sure you all do much more simran than das and are more dedicated. That is why I'm always questioning and doubting my own experiences. Because if I compare the amount of simran I do compared to what seems to be manifesting I think to myself, it can't be that easy. I haven't even got to the stage where I sit down for a fixed period time everyday. My simran just consists doing simran whenever I can throughout the day. Even if it is in 1 minute bursts or longer. The biggest contributor to progress must be Waheguru's grace and Sangat and technique and clarity of your own mind (how much do you let issues bother you and disturb your inner peace). Learn to focus on the sound for the gurmantar that comes out of your mouth. I just put my all my dhyaan about an inch or two in front of my lips. Learn to sit that mind at the position and listen to your own voice. When your mind gets used to sitting there you certainly notice the difference and can feel and hear the jaap as it's happening. Mind becomes 100% focused on the jaap and does not wonder off. Take it slow, it's not a race. You will feel so much anand when you get into the grove you won't want to stop. That is all I'm doing nothing more and nothing less. The way I've been taught is to lock the mind on the gurmantar rather than having vichar/thoughts. The biggest hurdle and wall between us and god realisation is our thoughts. As they reduce changes begin to manifest. This approach seems to be the easiest I've come across and appears to be leading to progress really quickly after I have tried so many other techniques. i.e dhyaan on trikuti, heart or navel etc. Try and reduce jealousy and slander of others in your day to day life. Be humble and polite to everyone regardless or caste, creed or faith. Try not to hurt anyone else feelings and to see God in all. WaheGuru

The drips are definitely becoming more intense. Yesterday during simran this stuff was just falling down from the roof of the pallet. I think I have reached the stage where I just accept it and learn to enjoy it. Nothing much more one can do. Bhagat Singh, I think we just have to draw the line what tests we can perform and post on here. Lol

Just did a blood diabetes test and my reading is in the normal range. Phew. Conclusion : must be experiencing amrit nectar from above. Waheguru.

I said because you can tell if your body is dehydrated if the colour of the urine is dark yellow.
