Fateh Ji,

hmm, thats one way putting what he has said... good write up...

[vaapaaraa]

Here's the article

Punjabtiger on electric Nitnem

[guru panth states that nitnem = daily recitals comprise jap ji, jaap sahib,

tav prasad swayyas (morning), evening sodar (also called rehras, which

comprises sodar and so purakh from beginning of guru granth sahib, and also

chaupai and anand sahib) and bedtime sohila. estimated time to recite all of

these, 30 minutes to one hour daily. individuals often add to, or vary, some

of these daily prayers.]

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Pyaari Saadh Sangat jee, being a student of electrical engineering who tries

reciting the daily Banis, i felt like expressing an electrifying experience

regarding the Nitnem Banis. Lets suppose that our soul is a motor. A motor on

which dust has accumulated. So before starting it we need to clear of the

dust. This is done by repeating or meditating on WAHEGURU for sometime before

starting Nitnem. Once the dust is cleared, the motor is ready to be started.

Japuji Sahib is the starter and charges the motor, generating the least

minimum voltage. No wonder it is said that if a Sikh practices just one Bani,

it must be Japuji Sahib as it carries the essence of the entire Sri Guru

Granth Sahib, and thus the concept of minimum voltage. By minimum voltage i

mean to say that Japuji Sahib is a must no matter what, so that the soul

remains charged at any cost! Once the motor (soul) is charged, it needs to

maintain that minimum voltage. Thats what Shabad Hazaare does. Since it is

the Bani filled so much with love, the minimum voltage remains constant. We

all know how harmful a sudden and immediate increase in voltage can be in a

motor. So Shabad Hazaare maintains the minimum voltage constant for sometime.

Next comes Jaap Sahib. This is the Bani that takes the voltage to its peak.

Probably thats why its the Bani known to uplift the soul so much. And here

its the motor reaching its peak voltage. Again, a sudden and immediate

decrease in voltage is equally harmful. Please note that by "harmful" all i

mean to say is that one may not enjoy the various phases of Nitnem that the

soul goes through. It certainly doesn't refer to any negative harm! Now this

peak voltage remains constant when one recites Tva Prasad Swaiyye. Its the

shortest Nitnem Bani and thus the voltage remains constant at its highest

value. Following this we have Anand Sahib - the song of bliss! This brings

down the voltage very slowly, as every word of it is filled with bliss, joy

and celebration. The voltage now comes at its minimum value once again, and

so once again it needs to be maintained. This happens when one recites Rehras

Sahib. Why i am saying this because some people do all Banis in one slot and

so as per the order of the Nitnem Banis (it may be different for different

people...apologies if i am wrong) Anand Sahib is followed by Rehras Sahib.

Once again the voltage remains constant at its minimum value. When one does

Kirtan Sohila, the motor starts going into the phase of switching off. Thats

why Kirtan Sohila is done before sleeping, at least thats what i have felt

from experience (apologies if i am wrong). By the time one starts Ardas, the

voltage has come down considerably, and when Ardas is over, the voltage is

zero. After going through all these phases, namely cleansing-->> charging-->>

constant minimum voltage-->> peak voltage-->> constant peak voltage-->>

minimum voltage-->> constant minimum voltage-->> switching off, the motor

still retains some heat as it becomes hot. Similarly, the soul attains

extraordinary strength, which remains throughout the day. And by the time the

24 hours are over, one is again ready to do his/her Nitnem thereby

maintaining the fact that the motor remains heated, meaning the soul remains

in close contact with the Infinite. Pyaari Saadh Sangat jee, please note that

i have posted this article not to boast about how i feel after doing the

Banis. My purpose was to know from others what their experiences are, so that

i can get more inspiration. And if there is someone who finds this posting

useful, i would consider myself a fortunate slave of Guru Nanak to have acted

as a tool to inspire someone. Once again, instead of appreciating this

posting (that is if you find it good enough), please enlighten me with your

experiences. Lets learn and inspire each other!

sincere apologies if this didn't make sense or if you find any other errors

hehee i loved that bit :wink:

Yea, its pretty interesting article, the part where he says that he was in white light is pretty interesting... I once had this experience as well like just flying away in white light, it was very blissful =)

Rochak Malang,

Just a correction veer ji. under your signature its "Siva" Not "Shiva". If you ask any scholars they will tell you how is it spelled in gurmukhi. So after you convinced if you can change that be great. :sikhiwink2:

[mehtab]

thank u paaji

i already changed my signature
