Waheguru ji ka Khalsa
Waheguru ji ki Fateh.

I am a new naam abhiyaasi with Maharaj's grace. Recently, while doing jaap, I feel a nice tingly, warm sensation like a liquid slowly gathering/flowing in my forehead close to the hair line (I would say just beneath it). It feels very nice and throughout the jaap as my attention stays on my voice, it stays there. Its a sweet feeling, not too heavy just tingly. Once the jaap is over, it goes away.

Anyone guide what that could be?
Bhool chuk maaf if I wrote some things in a manner not right.

P.S. I have been following this thread since page 1 and have been inspired by brothers @Sat1176 @Lucky @HisServant posts and the kathas, links, they have shared. Also reading the book 'Forgetting the way of love' as it was recommended once by Sat1176 veerji.
 

After listening to many Mahapurush,Kathavachaks etc, and reading books,  the appropriate response would be that keep at it, keep doing naam simran, you will realize everything from within, Guru is within, all the pleasant & blissful sensations are a blessing.  Mind will go through various phases, sometimes chardikala sometimes not so much, sometimes bliss sometimes surrounded by kaam, krodh etc. Just keep at it. 

check out this animation, seems pretty accurate according to Gurbani.

very informative video.

In summary, focus on waheguru jaap, once Mind is clear of thoughts , sounds will get pargat.

I hear that sharp sound all the time during Waheguru Jaap meditation. If I pay attention to it it gets unbearable. 

I guess that's a good sign if it gets louder.  I am no expert but I would experiment to see how far I can tolerate it. 

Gurmukhs have referred to this sharp sound as Sehaj Dhun. 

For me it doesn't get louder but just stays noticeable if I bring my awareness to listen to it.  This post has once again piqued my interest in listening to it. 

Once again, I am no expert, trying to walk on this path, stumbling and falling at every stone. More advanced practitioners can confirm.

This illness is life altering and immense suffering here is CNN anderson cooper trying the simulation, its immense suffering. Hope no one goes through it.

Just heard the simulation, can't imagine the suffering people go through. 

Acc. to Gurmat, Naam is the only true Aukhad for all the diseases mental, physical, astral .

Yes, medications do decrease the dopamine levels but come with so many side effects long term, and they are temporary. 

All the diseases are due to our Karams, the more Naam we japp, the faster they will get burnt or worked out. 

Dukh Daaru..suffering can be medicine. 

But yeah , just listening to that stimulation was disturbing...

but we are the Singhs of Guru Gobind Singh, lets  live in rehit, and cut these entities with the Khanda of Naam & Gurbani. 

And the brahmacharya of 10 indriyas is very important, it will invite grace of Shaheed Singhs, and Guru Sahib. 

The grace is always there but we sometimes close the doors to it. 

Nanak ke ghar keval Naam 

Indeed, Naam Japna is the only way. 

We can only try, but in reality everything happens with Guru's grace/ Kirpa. 

From my limited understanding so far with Guru's grace, after reading the essence is Naam. 

Recite, chant, sing, meditate Naam &  Gurbani.  Daya/Compassion comes up a lot.  Abandoning the taste of Indriyas including tongue as well. 

Guru Gobind Singh Ji talks about Alap Ahar Sulap si nindra...meaning little food & little sleep/lethargy inertia. 

Baba Deep Singh ji, first mukhi of Damdami Taksal , took amrit from Guru Gobind Singh Ji maharaj , and got blessing that his Naam Rass will never fade even if his head is cut off. He wielded khanda at age of 80 due to Naam Rass. And everyone is familiar with Sant Jarnail Singh Ji , their intense bhagti, sewa, intellect & their fearlessness. 

So Naam Rass is essential to win this battle against Mind & of Life. If your goal is Naam, and Prabhu Prapti , one can decide which food or how much sleep helps them for achieving their goal. Each to their own. 

Sukhmani Sahib mentions that one can live without food, solely on Naam and singing the praises of God. Sant Harnam Singh Ji rampur khede vale experimented with it , and lived without food for 40 days.

I think everyone should atleast complete one reading of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, reading 1-2 angs everyday, reading the various translations, along with practicing their hukam of Amritvela, Naam Chanting, control of Indriyas, Brahmacharya, Daya/Compassion, Sewa etc.  All the answers unfold themselves, and slowly no queries remain.

Is here anyone else who listens to PREMANAND MAHARAJA JI on You Tube daily? I am finding answers to my questions in his parvachans.  HE IS A TRUE LIVING SAINT and says Universal TRUTH that aligns with SIKH religion too. 
 

Yes, I have huge respect for them. His teachings align with Gurmat. He has Naam Kamai. His words have attraction and power.

Probably the only Sanatan Saint on youtube that I think is genuine. I have listened to others like Sadhguru etc but no one attracted me like him. 

When I listen to him I am reminded of the updesh of Baba Ishar Singh Ji , & Baba Nand Singh ji on how to do sewa of your isht & how to do prem with Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Waheguru Ji

Baba Ji describes the method of how to read Gurbani.  From being in a state of outer and inner purity to watching over your thoughts and intentions.
 

 

wah ji wah ! thanks for sharing, so much information & instructions condensed in this short clip. 

Summarizing for my own benefit, for later reference :

- best time to wake up is 2 am, 2-4 am good time for Simran due to silence around, must do ishnaan at amritvela, can do ishnaan 1-3 times, also do keshi ishnaanm this is the shudhi of Body

- also keep room, surroundings, etc neat & clean

- keep shudhi// pavitarta of Mann/Mind, the following dirty the mind:  kaam, krodh , lobh, moh, ahankar,  vashna/desires of son, material wealth etc, raag, dvesh, irkha, nindya/chugli/bakhili...

- if you get an experience contain within

- keep chit in the meaning of Gurbani when reading Gurbani, also have firm belief that Guru Nanak is sitting or standing with us listening to Gurbani as we read it, 

- have firm belief/nishcha that we need to meet Guru Nanak in this janam only.... 

Thats what I understood. please share your understanding as well.

My brother is ill... He suffers from shock like epilepsy but day by day his shock tremors are getting very frequently and painful but the thing whenever he get a attack.. my mother have a dream of it a day before... What kind of situation is this... We have done everything have gone to a siddh guru who took garantee that he will be fine but no...

What should I do

How long has he been suffering from seizures ?

Also see a neurologist, and get started on anti epileptics in the meantime.

Our Dukh/Sukhs is due to previous karams. Naam/Gurbani  has the power to eradicate or lower the impact of Pralabdha Karam.  We do not know how much papp we did previously so we do not know how much naam/ gurbani we need.   But keep at it.  

Who is the siddh guru you got in touch with ?

Wats the Point. They are all pakke sangmarmar now... Does this mean that they didnt keep his bachan after he left... 

After Baba Nand Singh ji left their body, Baba Ishar Singh Ji left Nanaksar jagraon , and went to Dehradun & Jhorran to do intense bhagti and sadhana. Baba Isher singh ji were in vairag of their malik all the time.  

With the Hukam of Baba Nand Singh ji , Baba Isher Singh Ji were asked to return back to Nanaksar jagraon and build a beautiful  house of Guru Nanak ie Nanaksar Gurdwara.   Baba Isher Singh ji said that in your time everything was kachha, if we build pakki building, Sangat will do itraz.  Baba Nand Singh ji said dont' worry we will get the seva done from Varun Devta meaning Water.  In those times,  great flood came in Punjab. All the kachhi biuldings were swept away. 

Thus, as per Hukam of Baba Nand Singh Ji, Baba Isher Singh ji got the sewa done of Nanaksar Gurdwara Jagraon , hence the beautiful Sangmarmar on a large scale. This sewa was for Guru Nanak Sahib.  The sarovar was built in 28 days , which the architects were saying would take approximately a year. Even devi devte and Hari came to take part in Sewa.   santa ke karaj aap khloya har kam kravan aya raam  

So like a saputar Dhan Dhan Baba Isher Singh Ji established & did parchar of his malik & murshad Dhan Dhan Baba Nand Singh JI.

Wow! The kind of beating your parents would give you back in the day......lol

 

 

 

This was satisfying to watch, its about time these criminals get a good beating. 

The cameraman was a real tool too.

Its funny when criminals start getting punished, people start getting apologetic .

There is a famous saying in punjabi   laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahi mante. 

Just glad that there was no gun involved, and no innocent murder.

Waheguru... you never know when your time will come, if the next breath will come or not.. hum aadmi haan ik dami.. we are only but one breath

Another reminder that life is passing away, O mind keep remembering Waheguru with each breath... this is the essence of all teachings..

I am working on getting myself back on track. I just had my first session of actively listening and focusing on shabad again. I keep remembering this: ਚਉਗਿਰਦ ਹਮਾਰੈ ਰਾਮ ਕਾਰ ਦੁਖੁ ਲਗੈ ਨ ਭਾਈ ॥੧॥

Right now it feels like shabad is coming from every direction. Like a circle. It also feels like a bubble of energy. I feel so stable right now. I don't know if this is what this tuk is referring to. 

i’m working on building discipline again. just focusing on shabad by itself while going about the day is making so much of a difference. I'm also realizing a lot about myself right now. 

i think the reason why I fell off is because I was given some bad advice a few years ago. Someone told me that I should only do simran in life and not focus on kirat. I was a kid back then. I put myself in a mindset where I was doing a lot of simran but falling behind on work/school because of the advice I was given. I eventually had a wake up call when I needed to fix a number of things. I also witnessed/experienced a lot of drama a few years ago with people who I thought were strong with their bhagti and other Sikh groups. I didn't like how they treated people + the number of fights/arguments. So much happened over the years that I got a little pushed away. And then getting back into things was hard because there was the underlying fear that if I no longer felt any anxiety, I would not have any drive to do any work. When I was going hardcore I felt no extreme emotions and no anxiety at all. 

I think my mind created a trap for itself. But i think it’s also what gurbani calls “bemukh”. shabad is there but actively choosing not to listen. Literally turning your back away from the guru. 

I feel so much better right now. i haven’t been this calm and stable in i think years. I know once i stop listening all the stress and pressure is going to come back. But i don’t think i have the discipline to maintain constant focus yet. 
It's going to take time

I appreciate this site right now because it's helping me track changes + there's accountability. 

Keep at it brother, slowly & steady, no rush, consistency is key . 

Kirat can also become Bhagti. When you are interacting with someone , imagine Guru Nanak residing  in their heart, and try your best to help them, this will become sewa. Parkash is everywhere and inside everyone. 

You got this bro, Guru will always bring you closer to Him somehow in any way he pleases. : )
