  1. One explanation I heard was, Gurbani is universal in terms of gyan is given to all regardless of background. It does not limit a person to a particular mantra. It places great emphasis on japing the Gur mant (i.e Gurmantar). You jap the gurmantar that you have been given. Ram, Har, Gobind, Waheguru etc. No school of thought should feel exempt from receiving the wisdom of Gurbani. Bhai Gurdas ji clearly states for us Sikh's that "Waheguru gurmantar hai jap homeaa kohe" In terms of building stability when do paath or Simran the key is to listen the words that come out of your mouth. Say your reading Gurbani. Look at the words you see, say the words with your mouth and listen to the words you speak. One gurmukh stated that before reading gurbani always spend a few minutes japping gurmantar with dhyan on sound to get the mind to concentrate. Obviously this is still difficult and takes practice. Try keep you mind present near by. Don't let if wonder of. If it wonders, the moment you notice it gone, bring that attention back in front of you. I've been suffering with the same issue when japing the gurmantar. When I jap, my mind runs off in some vision or thought and my jaap stops. I realise that my jaap has stopped and that it's gone ofd. I raised this issue with my teacher. He said this is what you call abhiyaas, and the 5 are stealing your jot. Keep bringing it back. Try and stay alert and focused so that you keep it present whilst you jap. Hope that helps ji.
  2. Waheguru. Bhai Sahib talks about the chakras and how they open naturally with the gurmantar. No need to put dhyan on each one.
  3. One of my family,front line, consultant doctor gave this interview today on Covid 19. Worth watching.
  4. It's a common question we all have is should we do more baani da paaths or Waheguru Simran? Here the gurmukh speaks in favour of simran starting at 46 mins.
  5. This video is really good. 49 mins of simran plus lots of useful information on naam simran plus anhad journey there after.
  6. Just be careful what you say or think when your listening to anhad. That is why it is advised to only start listening to it when your have done loads of gurmantar abhyas. Mind has achieved some control over rogue thoughts.
  7. Don't think so. Nothing wrong with discussing around other gursikhs. Just no point discussing with every Joe Blogs. I was recently listening to a katha and the gurmukh stated that be careful when listing to anhad bani. Because its like taping into the strongest power source ever. If you are listening whilst have negative emotions then you give those negative emotions/thoughts power making them stronger. Likewise you can see the power behind this shabads. They can be used for both negative and positive outcomes. This could be why there is so much secrecy around this path.
  8. Another good akath katha channel. Daily simran on you tube at 7.30am India time and evening simran and akath katha.
  9. Chapters 1 to 3 http://www.ratwarasahib.com/EnglishBooks/05 Discourses on The Beyond Part 3.pdf
  10. Have a listen to this. Explains amrit varkha, thunder, lightening and milaap of Waheguru.
  11. Don’t think you lost it , but more that you have been drawn back into worldly thoughts. So anhad recedes into the background.
  12. I think you already have the answers when you stated your state of mind was disturbed. I was listening to akatha katha yesterday and the bhai sahib stated that when mind is nirmal and pure then anhad sounds will automatically manifest. Just persevere. This channel is seriously good. They are doing sehaj paat at home with gurmantar and akath khatha explanations inbetween. You guys are now my motivation. *Salute* to you for your progress.
  13. Not yet. 1. they haven’t provided a local uk number for the dial in. 2. I’m usually working at that time. would love to listen to a full simran session.
  14. Good article on fake cures that are circulating on whatsapp. https://www.which.co.uk/news/2020/03/beware-dodgy-coronavirus-health-advice-and-fake-cures/?utm_campaign=whichukt&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_content=Coronafakenews&utm_term=fbnews
  15. I heard in India today around 5pm that temples mandir were playing various sounds. Play particular attention to the sounds. Not many will appreciate the sounds be reproduced.
  16. Where you get this stuff from?
  17. Both your experiences are correct. When the mind becomes still and concentrated it tries to enter Sunn, but we don't have practice of going to sunn ourselves through guided meditation and sometimes a jerk is experienced. It will pass. Yes the dhun occurs when mind is concentrating, listen to it. Give it some attention at that time if you can. Your becoming more aware of it. It will start to remain longer. Glad you had a chat with Bhai Dharamjit Singh. Very nice Gurmukh.
