Thank You RagMala Guest, Excellent post. 

1) You said 1 sheaf path in the form of MoolMantra (6 malas daily) or Waheguru (80 malas) or 2.5 hours minimum (from where did you find the 2.5 hours one, bcoz I cannot find any literature that supports it.

 

I got this from Anand Sarovar and Anand Chamatkar where Baba Nand Singh ji tells that 2.5 hours is just karza but anything more is bhagti and gets deposited. I have heard and read about 2.5 hours numerous times but just cant pinpoint exact references. I will go through bacahns and post screenshots.

Also Sant Isher Singh Ji rara sahib emphasized dasvand of time which comes to be 2.5 hrs. 
 

Wahegurooo!

Dhan Dhan Baba Ji di kamai bahut zyada hai , kehan sunan to bahar , we can’t even imagine
 

There was a sangi of Baba Ishar Singh Ji who wanted to have darshan of Baba Deep Singh ji. He wouldn’t let go of baba ji and also had lots of bhagti. Eventually, Baba ji told him how to have darshan. Baba ji said go to Baba Mitt Singh ji Nihang. The sikh went to Baba Miit Singh ji, but baba ji would not let him nearby. Finally, the sikh said I have been sent by Baba Ishar Singh ji. Baba Mitt Singh ji said acha, then sit close to us, and told him to close his eyes. When sikh opened his eyes , Baba Deep Singh ji was in front of him, in full tej prakash and jalal which was unbearable. Baba Mitt Singh ji came back to his original form. Sikh bowed down. Fir baba mitt singh ji ne keha ke acha (baba ishar singh ji val ishara karke) ke oh saade parde kholda hai, hun asi vi tainu kuch dasde haan baba ishar singh ji baare. Oh ohne jinna ne sanu bnaya hai....jdo oh ishnaan krde hon ta ohna di vakhi te nishan hoyega jive kise ne khanjar marya hunda...”.   Then Sikh had darshan ...

This sakhi I heard from a Nanaksar Pathi, there was more in sakhi, but samajdar nu ishara kafi hai... 

I heard personal experiences of three other people directly from their mouth who confirmed what was indicated in above sakhi. 
 

Dhan Dhan Baba ji

Bhai Balbir Singh warns against trying to awaken Kundalini or if your experiencing spinning sensation internally or hearing it.

So basically focus on the navel area, and do anulom-vilom pranayama, and it can take few months to settle the kundalini.  So afterall its not bad to have experience in some pranayama exercises for physical well-being and balance. 

I have had this question for a long time and I am sure a lot of us have had this question. This happens because we hear different explanations from different people. 

This is how I have come to terms with it and is my understanding. Please let me know if I am wrong. Gurbani gives us instructions and rehit to follow. When we read with pyar it also cleanses our sins. Once our mind is cleansed it will automatically grab Naam or feel more focused in Waheguru Naam.

Gurbani also tells us to jap Naam. So it is also important to do abhyas of Waheguru Mantra. 

Mahapurush prescribe different medications for different patients. Its not the same for all. For some Japji Sahib, Sukhmani Sahib and for some Moolmantra. In my understanding, the more bibek & sooksham the surti is, its easier to grab or listen to Waheguru Mantra. So all of us have to decide where we stand. Baba Nand Singh Ji used to say that moolmantra is foundation, stronger the foundation, stronger the GuruMantra is. so imo both are necessary. 

I used to think that if I do more gurbani or moolmantra , I will miss on Gurumantra. But thats not the case, all Gurbani and Moolmantra cleanse your mind, and make you receive naam Gurmantra. But its also important to do abhyaas of Gurmantra.

There are some who solely focus on Gurmantra alone. I am not sure about that. But do what works for you. I know pretty much all the great mahapurush focused a lot on doing repetitive jaap of Gurbani. there must be a reason behind it. 

wjkk wjkf! please sangat ji bless me with naam simran bhagti

Take laha gurmukho. The knowledge they are openly sharing in the practical sessions is very hard to come by. Don't waste the opportunity. You can sit in sangat from the comfort of your own home 24 hours a days given the current covid situation. There are some really blessed souls who have met Waheguru doing simran seva. You can hear the viraag in the voices when they come back from that union.  "> Even listening to the Q&A you can only just bow down in awe to some of the sangat's experiences. Really inspiring group of Gurmukhs and you know what they don't hold information back. 

Yes, i was listening to bibi maan kaur ji. There was so much pyar in group and listened to qa. It was full of vairag. I really like their voice chat option.

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹਿ ਜੀ

By guru sahibs daya taras guru sahib gave me darshan 2 years back and tolD me not to read ragmala and told me it’s not part of Guru Granth Sahib ji If that helps anyone and believes Guru sahib still gives darshan and guides us !

Dhan guru gobind Singh sahib

That was not darshan, that was maya/illusion. No one is greater than Baba Nand Singh Ji. He confirmed that ragmala is baani. This question should not even arise in our minds. 

Insight into nitnem of Baba Ji from Anand Sarovar, not to be copied but to be used as an inspiration

Thanks for sharing Sat. Yes people , covid is real, only those who develop it will realise. I had a similar experience about 3 weeks ago. Thank God I was spared because I had the 2nd dose of pfizer. As a result of vaccine, I did have bodyaches and fever 102 for 2 days but it was fine afterwards. Vaccine does work.

My dad had been coughing for a while. He developed body aches, and then fever 101. We thought to ride it out for 3-4 days but it did not improve. Then we decided to have the test . He was positive, the other family members were negative at that time. And then the journey started with mental and physical exhaustion. His fever wouldnt come down even with tylenol/acetaminophen. We kept giving all kinds of homeopathy and desi cold remedies but the fevel would stay in 101 range even with tylenol , 24/7. It lasted about 21 days. Body was really weak and exhausted. We were all mentally and physically exhausted. Oximeter is a great idea to have. I was told that >95% is normal, if it falls below then be concerned. So we kept measuring it and it stayed above 95, thank God. A week after mom also got sick and other family members tested positive. It was long 2-3 weeks but thank God they are recovering now.  When went to Emergency they said they cant do anything unless there is shortness of breath.  Mom was taking 2 tylenols every 4 hours for fever which ended up giving her esophagitis which was really painful. Now she is better. 

Slowly everyone has recovered now but everyone  will react differently. But these were tough 2-3 weeks and they really test your limits. Thank God I was okay and was able to take care of the chores. 

summary:

• covid is real, take precautions, elderly are the most vulnerable
• vaccine works, take it
• Be thankful if you are healthy
• oximeter is a great tool to monitor O2 sat esp during covid.
• Someone to talk to during these tough times is very helpful and essential

@Sat1176 It will take time to recover and gain back strength. Take nutritious diet and do rehab exercise. My  mom is also 70 and we are ensuring proper diet and proper rehab. Hang in there , it will get better and will give you a more grateful perspective on Life.

is what needs to be done to receive blessing of my beloved Guru Nanak?

Pick one and stick to it for a minimum of 12 years. When I first started about 20 years ago , I started doing waheguru malas then I gave that up and was doing moolmantar.  these days I am trying to stick to Gurmantra. Also my rehit was lacking thats why I have not reached anywhere. 

Important thing is dont jump around , stick to one and give it a good amount of time.
