jaikaara

Frankincense is also believed to be very powerful, it is known to improve depressive moods.

What i am sharing now is not my own gyaan but have listened to Katha of Giani Thakur Singh ji Dam Dami Taksal. If you would want to improve the situation , start with Japji Sahib and do 5 paaths of Jaap Sahib which would take like 1 and half hour almost if you havent been doing bani for a long time. Do more of Dasam bani a number of times like 5 Chaupai Sahib paaths , 5 Bhagouti Astotar paaths, 5 Chandi Charitar Astamo Adhyay paaths. 32 Paaths of Brahm Kawach - this takes you like 20 mins almost . You would also want to do Sukhmani Sahib paaths as much you can . Just do these Banis with prem bhagti and satkaar. They can be recited in front of a open Siri Sahib and if you feel okay placing a ghee jyot.

I know where you want to go but i tell you its not working like this .

You hit it hard on the right point ! Most NRI brothers live some Utopian dream and find it hard to understand the situation here. Besides this, Sanatan Dharam doesnt have a rule book as to say that just because Yudhisthir did this so one has to follow this ...Nopes...along with time rules change...

Dhristrashtra was never a Statesman , i do not know where did you get that from. When a Nation is being ruled ..it the Raajdharma which is to be followed . Any tom dick harry will come up with a notion for freedom . A Nation cannot run like that . The integrity and stability of the Nation is the topmost priority .

The way you are analyzing is not how a Statesman will do . A Nation will no longer be a nation if it keeps swaying according to people's whims and influenced ideas. Even in a house rebellions are crushed . Remember yourself as a teenager and if there ever was a time when the whole house was against you and even then they didn't want you to separate.

Your whole concept is of a personal level and when you live in a Nation you just cannot change things the way you want to. Be it anywhere and everywhere. Tomorrow you might want to argue with the govt where you are. You are not physically here and the way you see things, i am afraid you can never be a part of any system. Besides all these differences i still see you as a brother and know that just as you have changed with time, time will bring in more changes . Akaal Bless you. We agree to disagree but wont waste pages in argument.

You have named it Punjab otherwise someone can name it something different too. It is not about blame, if you cannot leave what you love then why do you expect someone else to do that. Tomorrow in Punjab if the Bihari migrant numbers increase and they decide to throw out Sikhs like what was done with Kashmiri Pundits then what would you want to do ? India should do this ..and do that ..and what would people like you do ? Live a comfortable life in western countries and expect everything to be done by everyone else . I thought looking at your posts that your mindset had matured and all that hatred had diminished. That doesn't seem to be the case though...its futile to explain and discuss anything. Thanks for nothing.

Well then you should be generous to donate 'Punjab' as it is you dont live on Indian territory . Why is that in the ardas there is mention of Panja Sahib, Nanakana Sahib ? Why dont you convince them to change this post partition addition to the ardas ?

Based on a foreign religion's concept they are asking for a separate country which is part of this country. Unfortunately there is no other choice but to suppress

Very glad to hear from you, which part of India are you from ? I would be glad to help you .

Before militancy they were one of the prosperous states in India and were living a good life . They themselves have made their own lives hell. The best way to destroy their culture is giving them independence . There are different voices, one group wants complete freedom from both India and Pakistan and another wants to accede to Pakistan. Islam and Kashmiriyat are not the same sides of a coin . They have been convinced that Islamic rule will improve their lives. It is quite contrary to the fact . There is barely any islamic ruled country which is living in peace .

Bro remember one thing, this is not going to be limited to Kashmir ..they the sulleh are well planned ..they will boom populations with time and then state after state will fall in their hands . Look what they are doing to Europe.

you hit it on spot ! this is the problem with religion be it anyone. They dont acknowledge anyone else outside their box. sometimes atheists turn out to be better human beings than religious minded .

Sat1176 bhaisahab has explained it very well, what i feel is to achieve ajapaa jaap it may not be necessary that you go through the saas giraas process ..saas giraas is a method and ajapaa jaap is a stage of spirituality of a awastha as we call it . If there is Guru kirpa the person would enter into the ajapaa jaap stage. Waheguru knows the best.

very good question, thank you so much for bringing this up. With a little understanding of what i have if i were to try to explain the difference it would be like this . Saas giraas is outward or physical method of inhaling Wahe and exhaling Guru Ajapa jaap is a awastha ..the person does not do any physical efforts ..the jaap goes on inside him/her. This is what i have understood from reading various topics, i have not discussed this with a awastha waale mahapurush. Waheguru knows the best . Akaal !

I do this too...today as i opened the news Senchis of Guru Granth Sahib ji ..i felt so good to see the Saroops i want to do a proper worship and start doing the paath. ..the feeling just comes .

Haan ji veer i do ...i think the quiet enviroment lets you feel the vibrations much better.

yes i too have noticed this , i dont do Nitnem or anything much however a little more than a month ago i started doing Chaupai Sahib and Sohila before going to sleep . I do the paath between 1-2 am depend when i am returning from work .

Oh yea ! then should i replace it with mistress !

Some facial hair is understood but have you seen that woman with a full beard ? Orientation becomes a point when things which are not straight start getting difficult . From your mindset i know you want to paint yourself goodie goodie. Thats okay for you but not for others in the sangat. So when you practically cannot go and explain to your local committee you want to waste people's time here. " I dont go and tell anyone to do anything " why ??? then how come you come here to give your love for humanity ? because you know someone is not going to hit you hard on your face for all your 'opinion' here on SA!!! Go and show your patience to your local committee with such thoughts and i am sure they will patiently paint you red ! Go on like a nagging housewife who's got nothing to do in the afternoon !

So then go and tell your local Gurdwara committee to appoint Granthis and Ragis whose orientations are different, do you think they will agree? Agreed with you all humanity is one, i respect people individually as one mankind but to lead the congregation it is general mindset that sangat in general will not want complications. That lady who's grown a beard can you then have her lead the sangat ? Talking big and ideal is all good try things practically.

you have all the time to do your flowery decoration with your words, so please go ahead. The logic i gave was simple enough to understand, at every point a person who is different than other human beings will want to acquire a special status in the Panth , i should in fact say they want to just open the Pandora's box and distract the Panth.

good to hear from you bhaisahaab...i too am from the IT industry, good to connect with another veer from the same background . I understand your dilemma and i too am going through this in a way , the difference is i come from a Hindu family background . We need to introspect and meditate . I quote this from the Japji Sahib time and again and am doing it again here. Hukumae andar sab ko , Baahar Hukum na Koe first step will be to end this 'i' within us , as explained by our veer in the earlier replies and then 'surrender' . This alone will take time , i am sure if we do this we will get our answer as to whether we are fit or not.
