  1. Training after 40 - experiences and tips

    You've said this a few times over the years jaikaara.

    It's really important to have realistic goals and keep some routine going on consistently. 

    DSG is right about the importance of food. Don't under estimate it. Can you not gradually decrease your intake? Reducing carbs gradually is the way to go in my opinion. 

    I just had about two months with little to no training, which is the longest I've never trained in years (7/8 years at least). I'm shocked at how my body has retained shape, although muscle mass and some tone has obviously decreased. I'm just getting back into training now (as of yesterday). 

    What have you tried training wise? Was it cardio focused, or weights? Did you enjoy any of it? 

    Look just commit to 30 minutes a day for two weeks and see where you get with that. 

     

    i know dear bro ..have been going through stress so am not able to focus. I will have to get up

    Waheguru ji ka Khalsa waheguru ji ki Fateh ji..

    Has any Guru ka pyara completed sva lakh jaaps of moolmantar here. Please,if anyone can help in advising and giving tips. I find myself alot emotionless while doing Jaap(very less in a day). 

    Why I don't feel any happiness in doing paath? I used to love reading gurbaani before but I find from quite 5-6 months I find no spark in doing my baanis. I have left even morning baanis. 

    Please help me restore this. 

    these days i am experiencing the same

    30,000 jaap of a shabad

    in General Discussion

    How many jaaps do I need of a shabad to obtain the sidhi? Would I start to see the effects when I reach 30,000 Jaaps with concentration?

    i personally feel that just like there are some degrees which are not achieved just by doing study for hours for eg. say if you study for 8 hours a day it still doesn't guarantee that you would be a doctor. Similarly numbers of Jaap cannot guarantee that you would be a sidh. It is still considered as a abhyas. 

    The Kathakaars give those examples since they want to inspire the sangat to be engrossed in Naam. Someone who does Jaap abhyaas would be lost in meditation and would lose the count. Naam Ras gives you peace and tranquil, you stop worrying about things happening around. Who will count for you ? The Jaap is nirantar inside...you will want to lose count. 

    Siddhis come and are a blessing of Akaal. However i personally feel that energy will only reside in that body that can hold it. There are peoople who may start seeing things and predicting future but then along with these capabilities comes haume, arrogance. This arrogance kills abhyas with time. 

     

    So rather than focussing on magic , i personally want to request you to focus on abhyaas. Let Parmatma be the decision maker, He always is , but as for now we feel we would do so and so and we would become so and so. 

     

    My 2 cents bro, Waheguru Ang Sang Sahaai.

  9. How do you make Kesar Tilak?

    Thanks beere I really appreciate it! Now when you say pure kesar, do you mean non-commerically packaged kesar i.e. fresh? Also, if I was to grind kesar for storage I would grind it without water right? Cus when I did it last time it got mould on it after a few days.

    Yes you dry grind..i personally feel don't get into grinding it all together and storing hassle.Rather just grind a few strands adding a drop of water..and you can grind it to a fine texture. It would be easier to apply and retain.

    There wouldn't be non commercial kesar .. everything that's sold is commercial.

  10. How do you make Kesar Tilak?

    Does anyone know the procedure for making Kesar Tilak? I did try once but I didn't manage to grind it down fine enough I think...I also don't know what to mix it with...water or oil?

    It's not something I want to experiment with as Kesar is bloody expensive lol so the exact viddhi would be greatly appreciated.

    How much would I need to make a small amount? Should I try to dry it before grinding? What is the best way to grind it...pestle and mortar? Bearing in mind you would want to minimise loss. What else if anything do you mix into it...chandan etc? What is the best way to store it?

    @jaikaara beere you're from India right...would you happen to know?

    @paapiman do you know bro?

     

    Thanks.

    bro i know a friend who applied kesar tilak for a specific spiritual purpose. I consulted him yesterday and what he would do was just grind 1-2 strands adding a small drop of water regularly . He also suggested that you could get pure kesar and grind it all together using a mortal and pestle and store it . When ever you want to apply tilak just take a small quantity and add a small drop of water.

    A friend of mine just met with Sant Jagjit Singh ji Harkhowalwale. He said it's okay to do paath of these kinds of Banis but don't do lots of repetitions without the appropriate viddhi. There is special viddhi for Brahm Kavach or Chandi di Var if your going to be doing tons of abhyaas of these. It's not for everyone. So speak to proper Mahapurkh before you start doing lots. These Banian are different than our regular nitnem Banis, the maryada for doing lots of abhyaas is much more sukt. 

    He mentioned, for example, that a singh came to him who had done chalisa of Chandi di Vaar without the appropriate viddhi. After about 20 days he came to see Baba ji b/c blood had started coming out of his stool, his nose, his mouth... There is a right way to go about doing these things so you should speak to a mahapurkh before beginning. 

     

    there is a video of one of the Singhs of Charhdikala jatha taking santhia from Giani Gurvinder Singh ji Nangli wherein the Singh mentions about his abhyas experience

  19. Can a person with cut hair read brahm kavach and dasam granth bani

    if i were to go by what Giani Thakur Singh ji has repeatedly said in his Bachans, a hair cut person certainly can. I am not a kesdhaari however with the kirpa of Guru Sahib the Bani of Brahm Kawach is recited by a lowly person like me too. 

     

    Also the Brahm Kawach Bani says,  Ihh Kawach Brahma ko 32sa parrhe jo nitt Chhatri Rann Jeet leh Nirbheet rahe Ridh Sidh paave Atri,  Leh Bed Bhed jo yah padhe Bipra Baisya Dhan Sukh Sampata, Dhan Dhaam tan arog sundar paaye sukh akampta...

     

    Which means Bipra or Baisya (Non Sikhs) can also read the Kawach.

    In praise of Vishnu-Krishna Bhagvan (Sargun Vahiguru)

    No one it's Lord Vishnu's pic not of madhav and balbir Singh ji madhav's all leelas can't be represented in one painting.. he is unended. Hare Krishna.

     

    With due respect to your devotion, of whatever little i have known of Sikhi is. There is respect for the Avatars however worship of any individual Avatar is not in the concept. When you come across names of the various Avatars in Sri Aad Guru Granth Sahib ji, the Bhagats and Guru Sahibs refer to them in context of Akaal Parmatma. 

    Also in Sanatan Dharam, the Vedas focus on Nirankaar is what is i have heard. I have heard my father using the terms Microcosm and Macrocosm. The Avatars are the Microcosm is what i have understood.

    Gurmukh Gyanis are not suppose to meet with women alone. They should meet them in Sangat. If the meeting has to be a closed door one, then the woman must be accompanied by her husband, brother, son, etc.

    Srimaan Sant Baba Nand Singh jee Kaleranwale was very strict in this regards. Any Jatha member caught talking to a woman, other than his mother or sister, was expelled from the Jatha.

    Any sort of physical contact (hugging, kissing, patting, shaking hands*, etc) with women must also be avoided. Sri Satguru jee (Tenth Master) would only touch women (other than his wives) with his arrow or siropa. 

    If Gyani Thakur Singh jee had strictly followed the above protocols, he would have never fallen into such a controversy.

    * - We have to shake hands, especially in western countries with women at workplaces. Handshaking is a normal professional way of greeting people in the west, so this case would be a bit exceptional for Sikhs of the west. Refusing a handshake might be perceived as rude/impolite by the other party. 

     

    Bhul chuk maaf

    Veere sangat forgets that the person is a kathakaar..they do sewa as if he is some great Guru..i somehow cannot do what they do ..if the kathakaar is aged at the most i will touch his feet.
