Ragmaala

this is from a book by Prof Balbir Singh Ji. some future bachans.

 








 
 
 

I am glad it I was of help

And just to add this maryada of doing 6 malas moolmantar, 80 malas waheguru gurumantra, Japji sahibs etc was done by Singhs during Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jis times and during war times when they were mostly on horses. 

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hello Veer, 
Thanks for opening up and sharing your concerns about mental health. 
We all want you to get better but only you can truly help yourself. 
I 2nd the advice by Sat. 
Please start from the basics as taught by Mahapurush , and stop the imaginations & visualizations, just drop it   Chant Waheguru with prem & slowly, chant Gurbani with Love & listen to it with ears. Do lots of physical sewa.
Sometimes its our past karam that are getting worked out.  Especially problems with spouse can worsen certain situations.  
Its very hard to find a Mahapurush like Sant Isher Singh Ji  rara sahib these days, who could guide you and point you in the right direction. 
Do ardas benti, ask for forgiveness, improve your diet inlcuding ghee, some cardio, 
Modern Medicine will have no cure for these matters, only Naam is the real Aukhad. Antipsychotics are ok in short term but long term side effects can be bad. 
Waheguru mantra has all the strength to cure any disease, have faith.  Do lots of Japa but with love and listen to it. 
Keep your brahmacharya of eyes, hands, & mind tight, When we lose brahmacharya we lose grace of Shaheed Singhs & Guru , from personal experience. 
I apologize if I sound rude, but I want you to get better. Stick to basics, and dont over intellectualize, maybe its your past sanskar. 
All the best veer 🙏
ps. and everyone reading this remember that Bhagti or Naam Japna never causes disease, its our past karam that bring us the dukh and are getting worked out and bring us closer to Guru .  Dukh Daaru ( Suffering is Medicine...)

@Samarbir Singh   Ear ringing is a hint of anahd shabad or sehaj dhun that you hear while still in tregun, pavan, and while still having all the augan. The real Anhad Shabad or Sehaj Dhun , you will hear only when you are in Sehaj , free from pavan, tregun, your body, and very close to Nirankar Ji, and upon hearing sehaj dhun you should have amrit in every rom...This is not my experience but my understanding from listening to Simranjit Singh Tohana. And it makes sense too. A lot of people start hearing ringing sound, its a beginning, little bit closer to Nirankar ji, but not the end goal. 
For example, I hear ringing when I focus, or during bani or simran, but it does not mean anything yet.  Only if my vikars are controlled, mind is in samadhi, amrit rass is received, I will hear the true sehaj dhun or anhad shabad.  I might be wrong but thats what I have understood so far.  more experienced Gurmukhs like @Sat1176 @Lucky can correct me. 
This path is like a life long marathan of mehnat not a sprint
ps. just after writing this the sounds have gotten more prominent 
but overall its a good thing, its a beginning while we are still in this mud. 

this is a solid advice, i can say from experience!!  especially glutes strengthening with glute bridges help so much for sitting long periods of time. 

Its been 2 years since this post. I am glad i wrote it otherwise I would have forgotten. It was a good reference. Now I am thinking of the events that followed after this repetition.
Some major life events , some minor obstacles.
A month after 21,000 reps of Guru Gayatri Mantra,  Guru ji got completion of Sava Lakh moolmantra from me.  And unexpectedly, within a month I was engaged.  It was never my intention to get married or look for rishta but somehow that happened. The other wishes I had in my mind , more important ones the career I wanted, never came to fruit. I am in no way bragging about anything, just a normal average person with usual vishe vikar who was able to complete the reps of these mantras.
I am writing this , so if in future, 5-10 years from now, I can come back and see where I stood in 2018.  If not for this post, I would not have remembered anything.
Also, I find there is lack of stories or anecdotes or articles about Sikh mysticism/ spirituality , mantra meditation or practice etc. I wish more people would share their experiences.  You can find tons of stories in Hindu traditions regarding purushcharanas and extended japa of mantras . This element is somehow lacking in online media. We have the greatest technology on planet...and only few know how to utilize it properly.
recently, i have started the japa of Guru Gayatri Mantra with Gurus grace, so lets see what happens.  By reading experiences of other meditators, I have understood that sometimes a single 1,25,000 repetition is not enough in itself due to your previous karmic burden. One should go for 24, 00, 000 lakh repetitions which will complete 1 purushcharana. And sometime several such prushcaranas are needed.....
Another reason for renewed interest in Guru Gayatri Mantra was reading about Sant Attar Singh ji Mastuana sahib wale who did extended japa of this mantra, Baba Nand Singh ji who used this mantra as a sampat in Guru Granth Sahib jis path.
 
 
 

Yeah I often wander between doing Gurumantra or Moolmantra or Gayatri Mantra. But what happens is it takes away time & you end up doing nothing.  So for now I have decided to stick to this, & atleast complete a minimum jaap.
Mahapurush have done jaap of this so why not us right . 

🙏

🙏
 

🙏

Here is some inspiration. Sant Jarnail Singh talks in the following video about Guru Gayatri Mantra. Listen from 1:22:49.
 

Has anyone done extended japa of Guru Gayatri Mantra ?  If so please share how it worked out for you?
 

So basically its a ratio of 1:2:1.  
I was never able to find a good resource teaching on kumbakh, 
Swami Rama Ji was really close with Sant Waryam Singh Ji. I find him to be genuine, so I follow his methods. I do this about 10 mins in morning. Here are two vides that helped me. might help you as well.

Beautiful experience shared by Sanatan Mahapurush, motivational for Naam Abhyasis
 

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh ! 
This is Great news ! Shukar a Guru Sahib da 🙏
 

They will forcefully do beadbi of his kes to destroy the will of Sikh people. 
i pray that i am wrong 🙏🏽

This is my take :
Indian State has full control over media, internet & everything. They can do anything , whatever they want, however they want . They will generate false narrative through media, create stories, character assassinate you, and portray you as a criminal. Freedom of speech is convenient, whenever it suits the state. No one can even talk about their right of self determination. Laws are different for Sikhs & different for other communities.  As long as Sikhs lick the feet of government, doing bhangra, drugs, parties, Indian state is fine
 
Amritpal was a good looking mona guy who became Amritdhari, wore bana, had good sense of wit & awareness, and became role model for many who were indulging in drugs & cutting hair to impress girls. He rose to fame & popularity quickly, and this became a threat for Indian state, especially after his popularity after Ajnala incident. 
 
The force that was used in Punjab was not necessary. It was a show of intimidation against the Sikh Image. To scare anyone else from popping their head against the state and talking about a free state. Whats happening is pure human rights violation, picking up journalists & young guys who support him , throwing them in jails, taking some of his aides to Assam. 
 
I think Amritpal Singh is either already captured or will be encountered soon after shaving off his hair near some border, on the excuse of trying to cross border. Just like they disappeared the body of Sant Ji, and no one knew he was Shaheed until much later . 
Whatever is happening is very very sad, and is a attack on Sikh Image, Sikhi Parchar.
Bhagwant Mann has lost his brains and is flustered. He is getting directions from Kejriwal. He could not handle the incidents of Sidhu Moosewala, and 2 interviews of Lawrence Bishnoi, and in order to lick tatte of Amit Shah & Modi, he asked for their help , so that he can get some brownie points. 
The earthquake that shook northern India & Afghanistan is symbolic of the injustice that is happening.
Maybe something even bigger will happen, or maybe not. Maybe everyone will move on with their daily lives, and maintain the soft parchar. 
But as Guru Gobind Singh Ji says that both Rakhshas & Devte are created by Him, and this is a playground. In the end all of this is Hukam, and we are playing our roles.
Maybe Amritpal Singh was an old soul/ singh who came to this earth, indulged in the maya for a bit, did his seva for the panth for a little bit & was meant to go this way.or maybe he is hiding & strategizing his next move. 
Only time will tell. 
But indeed history repeats itself, and so many events are reminiscent of 1980s maybe in a milder form. 
I want to break from this cycle of coming again & again , who knows what the future holds, O my Mind ! Do Bhagti, listen to hukam of your Guru , and make sure to achieve the goal of this human life. Stop forgetting about your own death...time is passing away... 
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh !
