Guest Javanmard Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Gurfateh I am starting this topic to find out how Chandi di Var influences our lives and spirituality. In which situation do you use it? When? How? Why? We're not discussing theological issues here: so thosem who don't believe in it please do abstain. I find Chandi di Var to be so invigorating. In times of despair it gives me so much courage and strength. pyaar Lalleshvari 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawrof Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 gurfatehji! I first read chandee di vaar at a friend's house last week. I was sitting there and felt the need to do paat, I had just come from a gurdwara and felt the inner peace, but there was something missing. I am going to share this experience. I picked up the gutka and it turned to chandee di vaar, being calculative due to my mindset, I thought ( I have 20 minutes)... I started reading... the words rolled off of my tongue and It was absolutely incredible. what I read properly,seemed shudh to me...but I did err whenever my mindset drifted from dhyan in paat to dhyaan in what was going on around me. I finished with a red phase. I felt like I had just smoked up (its been a while since I have done this), but I still remember how it felt. a completeness and a presence of love came from within, I felt exuberant and felt like all I was going to get was good fortune (Each is to their own on how they measure it). In essence, I did it again the following night, but I know that It is a baani I want to keep doing, possibly part of nitnem when I start to comply by the panthic one. stay in chardekalla ji waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sukha Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Wahgurujikakhalsawahgurujikifateh!!! Chandi di var is one of Dasme Paatshaahs most Bir Ras Baanis. It is full energy and warrior spirit. Sant-Gyani Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji used to say that Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaaj wrote Chandi di var specifically to instil martial spirit in Sikh women. Chandi di var is a beautiful composition of Guru ji that is always uplifting to read and really does boost your warrior spirit. Remember we read the first part of Chandi di var everyday in our ardas... Vaar Siri Bhagautee Ji Ki!!!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Singh Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Sukhasingh, Interesting point about reciting the paat at particular time of day. I’ve read that it shouldn’t be read at night too. At first I didn’t believe it, but then I read the below. (experience of Baba Harnam singh (rampar khera) ). http://www.lotusmedia.co.uk/sikhstudent/Do...nam%20Singh.pdf 12. When Should 'Chandi Di Vaar' Be Recited? Baba Ji would also do Chandi Di Vaar in his Nitnem every day. But a question arose in his mind. When should this Baani be recited and how often? He would often wonder. He asked many religious and saintly people but nobody really gave a firm answer. One day, while in the hut, he began reciting Rahiraas Sahib after which he did Chandi Di Vaar. He then finished off with Sohilaa and was preparing to go to sleep. The moon was shining outside and the door to the hut was open. He had just lay down when all of a sudden, he saw two men approaching from a distance. Baba ji thought to himself that if they are travellers then he will provide them with food and clothes and offer them a place to rest for the night. But if they are robbers, he will be prepared to confront them. While he was still thinking they both pinned him to the ground. One held him down from the head and the other from the feet. They couldn't be travellers or robbers because they arrived at such incredible speed. They were Shaheed (martyred) Singhs. He began doing Mool Mantr Jaap. He had just completed two Mool Mantrs when the Singhs released him. He sat up. The Shaheed Singhs explained to him that they didn't come to hurt him. They came to remove his doubt and confusion about the recitation of Chandi Di Vaar and when to do it, how much to do and how to do it. It was the fact that he thought that he would confront them that they wrestled him to the ground. They explained that if Chandi Di Vaar is recited after the sunset, then it must be continued all night non-stop. It is alright for two or more Singhs to do it in turn. If an individual can recite it all night then that is alright as well. A clean cloth should be spread underneath where you're sitting and you must have your bath first. An oil lamp (dhesi ghior dee joth) should be lit. There are no strict rules about reciting in the day time. Whether it is recited one or more times, it should be done with love and affection. After saying this, they left the hut and then suddenly disappeared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sukhasingh Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 See even the Sant's Recite these Vars,Most Excellent And in essence they are considered "Shant Ras" Gursikhs which is excellent they do their naam from Ad/Guru Granth Sahib but continue to keep the Dasam Bani at hand :wink: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niranjana Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Gur Fateh! Could someone expand on the relationship between Chandi-di-Var and the other Chandi compositions in the Dasam Granth? When are these to be recited and how do they differ in terms of the recitation? Also, I'd be interested to learn more about the relationship between the recitation of these compositions and Havans, Hom or Divas (as is the case predominant within Namdharis and others). Many thanks... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niranjana Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I've heard this being the way and also in front of a jyot or havan (see the Naamdhari Hukamnamas by Baba Ram Singh which outline a complete method for Chandi Paath). Anyone have any answers/guidance for my original questions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
