jaikaara

I personally feel the idea was to feel dedicated to their weapons and to see the Bhagouti Shakti purely in the form of the Sword. Remember, Maharaj created Kshatriyas out of laymen who had never fought. The Rajputs have worshipped Bhagouti in the form of Shastars since ages however when one does paath of Shastar Naam Maala , he/she does the bhagti of the Shastars . The pyaar for the Shastars increases.

You can watch Namdharis doing Hawan on youtube

Sikhism is an Indic religion so the base is going to be the same.

i too knew of the Gur Gayatri mantar from the Jaap Sahib, very powerful. I learnt driving chanting the mantar.

Khwar hoye sab milenge bache saran jo hove
​

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.

just something what i have felt and a little bit of experience of this state of mind. 

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.  

Absolutely ! and this is a evolving process, it will never stop everyone has a right to think in their own way and define and redefine Gurbani, as long as one does not harm any human being or play with emotions .

Maalko the same Gurbani praises the Avtars too..this very comparison is ignorance...Philosophically it can be said that Akaal Purakh ji sent his messengers to guide humanity . Who the hell are we to compare their energies ? Are we even the charan dhur of any of these avatars ? If you just want to keep pumping your ego and arrogance then it is a different play ..has any hindu ever used such comparision?
Personally i am more attached to Guru Gobindsingh sahib ji Maharaj ..it would be absolutely foolish to prove his greatness over other Gurus and avatars ..just like to a child his parents are the best so also to us our Gurus are the best and to others who worship other Gurus and avatars they would be the best.

Yea this is the biggest challenges , the basic reason which i feel is we target an x number of jaaps we would do and our mind then calculates the time it would take . This is common even with paaths that we plan . What i did for myself was ..i stopped counting ..you could just do 5 recitations and try to fully concentrate on your voice and the meaning of each word. It will gradually develop and you will stop looking at the watch .

Let me get some time and maybe we can have a joint simran schedule on skype

I wanted to inquire whether the heaviness between the eyes and the feel of energy there signifies anything ?

Jis ke seer upar tum Swami so dukh kaise pawe ....Dhan ho tusi bhaisaab.

During driving i use to jaap the Gur Gayatri (Gobinde Mukande) and overcame fear. When i use to drive to work in the evenings i use to do Gur Gayatri , now its mornings so i jaap the mool mantar.

I have fought with depression and anxiety listening to his bachans. See, my take is do not give space to a person so much that he would take advantage of the situation. In that lady's case why did her husband and she not take the stand that she will not go alone. When the lady was called to his room alone , in the first place there was no need to go . The moment she heard what he said , she must have been in a shock but instead of confronting after a long time wherein facts get distorted action should have taken then and there. 
Power corrupts, nobody is above. Even the puraatan Rishis have lost control if you have come across the stories. Kamm is more powerful than anything else. A man can deny money but denying a woman is difficult. 
So, take whats useful to you and leave the rest. If you have the power to take action yourself then its a different thing. 
 

There is no end to such reasoning and cross questioning against any abhyas done. Tomorrow the very purpose of keeping kes can be questioned . So i personally feel if someone is doing abhyas with x number of paaths or simran there is nothing wrong with it . Everything and anything that does not go accroding to our will we blame the brahmans and brahman vaad ..i dont know how much of Sikhi should we consider that.

Absolutely, there is no Bani which is gender conscious  

i am non vegeterian

I agree that the thread title is grossly misleading.
You need to have better standard.
Citing websites who are mainly apologetic to Islamic terrorism is not sensible either.

Sorath mehlaa 3.
Sorat'h, Third Mehl:

so sikh sakhaa banDhap hai bhaa-ee je gur kay bhaanay vich aavai.
He alone is a Sikh, a friend, a relative and a sibling, who walks in the Way of the Guru's Will.
(601-18)
aapnai bhaanai jo chalai bhaa-ee vichhurh chotaa khaavai.
One who walks according to his own will, O Siblings of Destiny, suffers separation from the Lord, and shall be punished.
bin satgur sukh kaday na paavai bhaa-ee fir fir pachhotaavai. ||1||
Without the True Guru, peace is never obtained, O Siblings of Destiny; again and again, he regrets and repents. ||1||

Everyone who listen to the Guru is a Sikh. Sikhi was and will never depend upon the family you were born in. If Jaikara believe in Sikhi - he's a Sikh but Jaikara, no person can be classified as good or bad by which religion he's born in. Indira Gandhi, Gangu were born in Brahmin family whereas there are 100s of examples from Bhai Mardana ji, Pir Budhu Shah, Sai Miya Mir who were born in Muslim families. 
Clans don't matter, only Values does Humanity does... 

Then please love the Muslims, they are very happy and eager to accept you. No one stops you from doing what you like. Love to such a level that there be no difference, who can dare to stop you.

As you jaap continuously your mind will be at peace and balanced. There will be questions in the mind as to do you really need the wish to be fulfilled. Hukum of Akaal , Rabb da Bhaana mann ke jeevan byatit karan di chaah honi pehnji.

Thank you Sarabatam jio for your efforts.
Yes!~ I have utmost respect for Satguru Sahib Gobind Singh Ji Khalsa Mahraaj.  His bani contains the absolute truth.
