mit Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 do people still recite that now, or have they reverted to the full nitnem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matheen Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 If Guru Sahib has given us the 'full' Nitnem, why would people ignore Him and go against their Hukam? Amritdhari Sikhs are given the Hukam to recite 5 Banis, Rehras and Kirtan Sohila, in addition to Gurmantar and Mool-mantar. So yes, people still follow Guru Ji's teachings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1825 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think it was the Panj Granthi as a daily nitnem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think it was the Panj Granthi as a daily nitnem A booklet published by Sant Jagjit Singh contains a list of nitnem banis recited by sikhs before 10th guru. I too believe it is all the banis in Panj Granthi- been years since I read through the booklet. Some Sikhs still recite the panj and das granthi in addition to standard nitnem. Admittedly you need time on your hand because it takes ages to go through. I can't remember the title of the booklet , but they used to give it away free - as per Nirmala tradition that you cannot put a value on knowledge. Basically the booklet was a mini-encyclopedia giving lists, details and background info on sanatan/sikh history. ie eventful dates forgotten to modern sikhs,name of 40 mukte, 14 rattans, 9 riddhis, 18 siddhis, list of skills/knowledge a person should learn (not for puritan sikhs, though), categories of foods. 8 types of sexual lust, types of hankar, etc, etc. A real gem of a book!!! Its in Panjabi and recommend anyone to get hold of it to read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amriteshwar Singh Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 puratan 'bal updesh' i guess, i remember seeing it long time back .

Mithar Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I think that Amardeep Jee is right. Japji Sahib, Rehras Sahib and Kirtan Sohila were the Nitnems of the Sikhs before Dasam Patshah. I don't think Panj Granthi was ever the Nitnem of the Sikhs. Although ideally a Sikh should have that memorised and read it daily in their nitnem. But it was never a part of the Nitnem. Many puraatan Taksali Singhs during the time of Sant Gurbachan Singh Jee would have the Panj Granthi memorised. I would encourage all Sikhs here to get all of Panj Granthi memorised. We should think of this as being a must, only then will we have the honour of being a Panj Granthi Singh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1825 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Panj Granthi was the nitnem prior to the Nitnem given to the Khalsa. The Panj Granthi is the Jap Ji Sahib, Aasaa Di Vaar, Dakhnee Onkar, Sidh Gosht and Baavan Akhree or Sukhmani Sahib (depending on the Panj Granthi you pick up. In the evening So Dar Rehraas was recited and at night it was Sohila. Not that much different to today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, please let us know what it's called. would love to know what booklet that is as well The book is called SOHAIL PRAKASH.

If any technical people out here can find conversion software from page maker format (pm5) to .pdf..that will be great because it will make more user freindly.
