I am definitely interested in making Shardai at home, and do bhog to Maharaj and Shaheed Singhs. I dont have the earthen bowl and wooden stick.  Will learn more about it. Here are couple of videos

I know that there are relatively less people today who do shanka on Sri Dasam Granth sahib Ji because of increased parchaar, especially by the Nihangs and Baba Banta Singh Ji (Munda Pind). 

I just found this video really interesting and informative so sharing it with the sangat.

Vichar by Gurcharanjit Singh Ji on Sri Dasam Granth Sahib.

Trimandeep Singh 

Great video , must watch

very deep points such as Sat Sri Akal Gurbar Akal…Guru is Akaal.. Guru is Sargun form of Akaal the formless

You can say that Waheguru ji is Krishan but you cannot say that Krishan is Waheguru Ji…

Here is another kathakar i used to like a lot that has turned into a missionary now sadly. So called Bhai Paramjit Singh Khalsa

Guru Gobind Singh Ji hukam is to Guru Granth Ji Manyo Pargat Guran Ki Deh. Mahapurush have followed this bachan and manifested it into reality, and left lessons for others to follow.  Sikhi is a khed of Prem and Kamai, and not logic.

It’s sad we have so called parcharaks who break the shraddha/ devotion of Sikhs due to personal monetary reasons and themselves not reaching any avastha. I actually feel sorry for them. 

I will post some interesting pieces from Prem Sumarg Granth, as I continue to read it. Lots of things that we can implement in our daily lives, that I didn't know before. For example, around  do pahar, we can do panj ishnana, and recite Japuji and Jaap Sahib, if short on time we can recite short version and still benefit from it.

In the following  link, Guru Nanak Dev Ji is having conversation with Babar in Emnabad, regarding the Bhang, and how to do bhagti, very detailed. This is katha of Gurbani on Ang 721. Reference to bhang 15:50 minutes.

@Soulfinder veer, are you able to create an audio clip starting from 13:42 till end. thanks. 
 

@dalsingh101 do you have a pdf of prem sumarg granth ? I would like to read it. Also, who is the author, and what’s the authority ?

‘Bhev ke peeve’ , drink after soaking. I think it means soak in that context. 
 

Bhev is also a root of lotus often used in sabzis and achars. 
 

Mushkamber could be related to mushkkapoor which is camphor. Camphor has some medicinal and aphrodisiac properties too. Most likely is its musk ,kastoori, which came from glands of a particular deer. Kastoori was very expensive even back then and rare to find.  Kings were often known to have powerful concoctions mixed with rare spices and kastoori to increase their libido, especially ones like Raja Bhupinder Singh.

@paapiman @dalsingh101Another question , what is the ratio of cannabis to spices, and what is the quantity in a day? It says 2.5 g of spices but how much cannabis?
Is there any indication when to use it, or whenever you feel like.

other observations, first instruction is not to take amal. If you happen to do so, take it in certain quantities , mixed with spices and hidden from others.

that's an important point. You CAN have darshan of waheguru in sargun saroop. But you have to remember that darshan of nirankar in the nijh ghar is where there is na roop, na rang, na rekh. 

Hanji veer ji I can understand what you are saying.

@Lucky just a side question. I understand that we can have many relationships with Waheguru ji like father, mother, sibling and a friend.

And there is the relation of Husband and Wife. I understand its a very special one and probably the final destination. Having read the jivans of Baba Nand Singh ji and Baba Ishar Singh ji Kaleran, they were very very protective about their time between 12:30 am to 3 ish am. Mahapurush said that it was their time to be intimate with Nirankar, and there were special pehredars both physically and Shaheed Singhs , to make sure they were not disturbed. Even if a devotee did mental ardaas to Mahapurush during that Amritvela, it was frowned upon. So I understand it was a very intimate time. Mahapurush also often referred themselves as having had the viah done with Guru Nanak Sahib. I feel its so beautiful.

M sorry but this is little skeptical if we go by this pankti of Guru Nanak sahib then waheguru has a roop - with beautiful eyes, ">nose, long hair n golden aura roop. Sorry but I hv a shanka on this.. @Lucky veerji pls clarify if possible. 

Well on the second thought.. See how children draw sun "> - see yellow or golden. They also say stars are golden but science term sunlight as white light or natural light - combination of "> colors... may be it's how one may perceive it . It may depend on many other factors and varies from person to person 

 

 

Hopefully, one day we can have the Darshan, either Sargun or Nirgun, in any form that Waheguru Ji wishes to do so, and then we will realize. I think it depends on the Bhagat, how he wishes to have Darshan, and it happens according to Bhavna.

Sant Ji touched on many topics in such a little video, very succint.

- Akal Moorat, and Japa of Mool Mantra

- Par triya roop na pekhe netra, avoiding Nightfalls (supne bind na deyi jharna)

- importance of Gurmantra and Moolmantra Simran on top of regular Nitnem

- Baba Khajan Singh Ji di 36,00,000 japa of Moolmantra, and after that it went into automatic mode. 

Waheguru !

Here Bhai Dharmjit Singh Ji explains about golden prakash providing reference from Gurbani. 

ਤੇਰੇ ਬੰਕੇ ਲੋਇਣ ਦੰਤ ਰੀਸਾਲਾ ॥   ਸੋਹਣੇ ਨਕ ਜਿਨ ਲੰਮੜੇ ਵਾਲਾ ॥   ਕੰਚਨ ਕਾਇਆ ਸੁਇਨੇ ਕੀ ਢਾਲਾ ॥ 

Sri Harikrishan Dhiyaye Jis Dithe Sab Dukh Jaaye

When Baba Nand Singh ji first went to Hazur Sahib, he had darshan of Guru Harkrishan Ji, and then later Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj.

I think that's exactly what the Shaheeds that ate it were thinking. Keep my focus on Naam not agony. 

Fair.

As a Paanth shouldn't we agree to disagree then about Sukha since it's neither here nor there with respect to that ultimate focus?

Let agree to disagree then.

Maybe Sukha is a reminder or a symbolic representation  to produce the real Naam Rass inside to create that eternal everlasting Bliss which makes you fight battles for your Guru and get Shaheed, win the battle against 5 vikars through the Naam Rass and win this battle of life.

It's the opposite attitude that had many Sikhs alienated from Dasam Bani like CP for a LONG TIME.

CP is a must, it should be taught to young Singhs under proper training and guidance especially when puberty hits. 

Only after you have gone through life, you realize how important CP is.
