Waheguru Simran, Nitnem, Gurbani Study: Which You Do Most And Why?

In our practice of Sikhism we do different things for spiritual endeavors and living. It goes without saying that all have varying positive influences on people's lives as such cannot sustain otherwise.

1. Waheguru Simran

SWEET SIMRAN - YouTube


It has become increasingly popular over the years. Including it being made part of raen-Sabhai smagams. Something’s come to mind as follows,

• Generally such is done where Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is in prakash
• Generally done by people who have done the solemn bow in front of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
• Is generally interjected with some popular tuks or names like Hari/Gobind/Prabh and variations thereof
• It appears most vocal participants have their eyes closed and have appearance of wandering glance when they occasionally open their eyes
• In a typical Katha session people have eyes open and still don’t appear to have wandering glance

Do most of the sangat know and recognize that there is one Guru in the place and that is Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? If they do, are they addressing Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in repeated chants of Waheguru?

Certainly there is no necessity of any such once you offered yourself in a solemn bow in front of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to address Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

So what is the purpose and what is the lasting impact?

2. Nitnem

Amazing Easy to Learn Nitnem- Japji Sahib Part One - YouTube


As part of an Amratdhari and a complete Sikh per Sikh Reht Maryada the Nitnem is required. The Gurbanis are chosen as being suitable for the times of day. What are your reaction and experience after each of the Gurbani’s is recited.

You feel uplifted, charged to go, serene and at peace or some other emotions.

3. Gurbani Study

Gurbani study is a way to recognize through self, references, commentary and other resources the message that Guru ji give us in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

With limited resources, at times language difficulties (e.g. not knowing Punjabi), many a people do part of it through listening to Katha/discourses by eminent parchariks or wise.

This is also catching in popularity as a sign that people are equally hungry for understanding and more information that is available from Kirtan, Simran or nitnem.

What are your thoughts?

4. Other

There are methods that people adapt like meditation. If you do so, what do you meditate on?

Sahej Sukh Dhyan Meditation - YouTube

Some examples may be,

• Your understanding of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
• Your understanding of creation or creator
• Simply meditating on internal being and aiming for a calm and experiential state of mind

If you do, what are your thoughts on benefits and results to share?

Humbly submitted for dialog and discovery to help each other.

Please liberally sprinkle with your thoughts in your own words from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji per the TOS of spn (complete sabads with English translation and a reference of panna/page reference). Srigranth.org is the best place to cut and paste from and then embed with your thoughts in a post.

Sat Sri Akal.

Nice thread, many thanks.

Just an observation... it may be worth mentioning the difference between Waheguru simran and Waheguru japna.

Waheguru simran is the ultimate state of mind always, to be remembering Guruji all around constantly and aware of the interconnectedness of everything.

Waheguru japna is the repetition of the word as a form of meditation.

Apologies if the wrong Punjabi words have been used.

I chose Gurbani study in the poll myself. I find this is the least I can do to respect my Guru ji for the wisdom, the guidance and real life visualizations towards living that they have provided.

Not trying to do so, I could not do. Such for me, totally personal and perhaps irrational to some, is insulting and at such point I rather not be a Sikh or if a Sikh be rather dead in shame.

Sat Sri Akal.

PS: I can watch Waheguru Simran with enjoyment but something in me does not allow me to participate in a live event. I attended part of such by Bhai Manpreet Singh ji locally and could not keep my eyes closed and when open would watch how people would look at each other to see if they were doing it, felt kind of funny and I did not stay long in respect of others. Absolutely not to put down anyone as there are perhaps many who put away their cares on such times of Simran and have the psyche refreshed to face ever challenging days in many people's lives.

Gurbani advcates for the SIMRAN of NAAMu onlly
and in particular RAAM NAAMu only.
We can understand the difference between SABADu and NAAMu.
Any SABADu is for PAPu but NAAMu is for SIMRAN.(There can be JAPu of NAAMu also)

Veer ji can you post an example of a Simran done according to this description and if the Simran is a Tuk or parts of SGGS or not. If from SGGS give one example that you really like for Simran purposes that meets your criteria and its context with the overall sabad as per spn TOS.

I consider this RAAM NAAM an important one in Gurbani.

Isi you are right, Master Musketeer is really talking about the modern day trend of the sangat entering ino coordinated chanting or feigned meditation, but for some reason referred to it as Simran which has a much deeper meaning as you suggested.

The Sikh liturgy I experienced growing was more of sit back and feign that you understand.

It would be better first we know how a particular word is NOUN or ADJECTIVE in Gurbani.This is again a part of grammer understanding.
I am sure you will try to understand this when you come across to give meaning to "GuR Kaa Sabadu" in interpretation of Sukhmanee.

When you say can PAPu do SIMRAN ? You should realise you are talking of a person whereas there is no such person in Gurbani.It is the SIMRAN of the word PAPu itself if it suits anyone.

Sat Sri Akaal,

"Guru's Bani" is "Art of Living" it's very imortant as it is guide for all aspects of life.

It teaches way to think, read, speak, listen, vision etc. Again it connects to all literal
development (arts and sciences (nature, as ultimate science)).

Regularity Nit(Daily) nem(remembring Naam) is important, as subject which we do not practise, we have to again refer books,
either practise as way of life, or refer daily.

Waheguru recitation is imporatant, for cleansing and connecting to "GURU's BANI"

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Gurfatehji

I am on a slightly different path in that I never set out to embrace Sikhism again, but in the last year it has become obvious that there is much validation in the SGGS to backup everything that has been burned into me by the consequences of my actions, as such, I now consider myself a quite 'die hard' seeker, I am hugely interested in the Wisdom, the practicality of the SGGS, at times it is not pleasurable, like chanting or meditating, it is deadly serious, I fear the clock is ticking away, and time is going by, and I only have until my death to answer the multitude of questions that still persist,

I think what we are seeking is the divine connection that fills us with that good feeling, if some people can find it by meditating or chanting, then thats great, I would never argue that they were on the wrong path, but it is only a temporary connection, like taking drugs, and then coming back down to reality again, I believe that if you can model yourself on the Gurus, embrace the frequency of Creator, then you would end in that feeling 24/7. For me, meditation and chanting merely gives me an insight into what life could feel like if I embraced the wisdom and lifestyle as set out in the SGGS.

I have never been one to tease myself, again for me, it is akin to hiring out a pristine blue 1994 RR LSE (with working air suspension!) for a day, when I would rather spend some time working hard til I can afford to keep one forever.

Tejwant Singh Ji,

Can you please enlighten me about the difference between Nitnem and Gurbani study?

Nitnem is reciting of Five Bani's as a daily routine as a summary reading.

Under the influence of "Maya" our mind gets filth, our actions tend to deviate from the
path, unless and until our mind if formed as per "GURU's BANI"

"Guru's Bani" is understanding of total book of 1430 Pages.

Its not so easy to understand the whole book. Reading/writting doesn't resolve.

To understand one word, the light, sound and matter related to word needs to be resolved.

As an example : Make a child read apple/ recite apple/ but don't show/physically sense apple to him.

Apple will be in front of him, one will never be able to understand apple as existence.


Understanding of word intutive awareness, guru's bani has experienced every one as
blind. but even phyically blind can get the way through imaginative sense.

Like blind man sense the path through there imaginative sense.

But person with eyes are intutively blind, close eyes for one day and understand
how blinds find there way and experience blind,
through there evoked imaginative sense.

And we people with eyes are intutively blind and get hurted from obstacles, as a blind
man.

All of us are enticed and influence by "MAYA", clear the veil, understand "SURAT"
If each word of "GURU's BANI" reflects to mind, one is connected to NAAM, or

one is physically present, but imagination is at home/business/ SEX/ FOOD/ SECURITY/
RELATION/ EGO

Mentally not attached to "GURU's BANI"

To me each "WORD" in "GURU's BANI" is "NAAM" and it connects to experience "World"

Like to some persons word

"SURAT" appears as face, to some as region in Gujrat, to some as imaginative sense.

and all are True to there experience

Depending on the experience, every one forms mind,

but when it comes to "GURU's BANI"
one shall discuss in contest of "GURU's BANI"
not as experience of other sources such as movies, novels, etc.

Mind formation can be related to formation of pitcher,
when clay is soft it forms shape,
but once it is formed, it makes noice, and
imagine how much

effort is for human to shape a stone
and for "stone" to shape him as "GOD" what we seek.

And when
stone is form of human's ego
"EGO's get's blasted to shape hard mind to make someone realise "GOD", and the way humanity reflects back.

Getting trained and to give right training for religion is not easy path.

Are they different? If yes, then it what sense?

Where did you get them meaning of Nem as remembering Naam?

What is Naam for you?

And please explain the last part which I did not understand that is: "as subject which we do not practise, we have to again refer books,
either practise as way of life, or refer daily".

SAT SRI AKAAL,

Biggest hurdle in learning is our formed "EGO's"

Understanding of "EGO" formation, is how mind forms.

As a analogy

Clay if soft state can take any form, which is available as new child. Till 10-30

Once the clay is formed, it gets heat, as youth. 30-60

The formation is ready.

Any re formation will tend to change the original form,

Person will cry as feeling death of ego while living. And one really cries, once
one reflect his animal instinct going away, and human is getting formed.

So feel the pain to stone when it is carved as "GOD"

AMBARSARIA Ji,
SABADu and NAAMu both are very much there in SGGS the only thing is we fail or avoid to recognise.
SABADu is ann SINGLE WORD as NOUN
NAAMu is always a pair of two Single words and is ADJ -NOUN and COLLECTIVE NOUN.

NAAMu has been refered to MATTER (Vibrating) of the UNIVERSE in Gurbani(Now you are going to disagree on this)
NAAMu is an ATTRIBUTE for the MATTER Vibrating) and describes the internal Quality of the MATTER(Vibrating) whereas NAME or NAA-Au is a word for recognition of the MATTER.
ALL the MANTRA refered in Gurbani are related to NAAMu not to NAME or NAA-Au.
So NAAMu is present within every matter of the UNIVERSE and NAAMu is OMNIPRESENT and OMNIPOTENT VIBRATING WAVE.
Thus understanding of NAAMu requires an indepth study of Gurbani.

The word is WAHi GURoo(I fail to understand why we write it as WAHEGURU.) You can give a look to the word in GURMUKHI SCRIPT and then see How this should be written in ROMAN to match Gurmukhi word.
If we write wrong how we can understand correctly?

The Basic problem is that we dont have correct english translitration of SGGS and this is tha main cause of confusion.

I think first we should look into this how this anomaly can be removed then only we can understand Gurbani more clearly.

I am fully aware that the subject in question isvery sensitive but at the same time while sharing views on such subject we should keep in mind the limitation of english translitration .
These are my personal views only.

It is a very versatile site for searching, doing online Dictionary checks, Mahan Kosh, Peof. Sahib Singh ji's Darpan, Bhai Manmohan Singh ji, Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa ji and all in one place.

ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥


For example if you double click on any word (say ੴ) it will take you to the dictionary and if you hit Home there it will take you to various option to search Gurbani, etc.

I used the most common usage (wrong) word. I will watch it in the future. As you know I read Punjabi while translating Gurbani elements and don't depend upon any trans-literations. So I am not affected by trans-literations in my study of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Ambarsaria ji,

Guru Fateh.

It is not your fault. It is the syntax of our native languages that make us pronounce and write in a wrong manner. We invert V for W and vice versa in English, just like the Germans.

That is why I always write Vaheguru rather than Waheguru because ਵ is V not W.

Regards

Tejwant Singh

Ambarsaria ji,
I hope this answers your question on why they are using the word "Waheguru". It doesn't just mean wonderful teacher, it is also referring to the teacher inside of you and God. The later being the same in non-dualism, that is, the teacher inside you is God. So no they are not calling out Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (although if they were that would not change much).

Look how Bhai Gurdas ji poetically describes Waheguru mantr. Though one need not use it as it is just a word one uses to remember and repeatedly identify with the (inner) God.

You write:

Nitnem is reciting of Five Bani's as a daily routine as a summary reading.

Click to expand...

What do you mean by the above? Is it just a casual mechanical parroting or is it about understanding Gurbani and using it in our daily lives is required? If not then Nitnem becomes irrelevant and a futile daily exercise.

What do you think?

"Guru's Bani" is understanding of total book of 1430 Pages.

Click to expand...

Once again, pardon my ignorance, you mean learning, understanding, practicing even one page of Gurbani is not Gurbani? One has to understand all 1430 pages of SGGS, our only Guru to make it Gurbani?

Some Banis are from the 1429 pages of SGGS, our only Guru in Nitnem. So you mean doing them is just a useless, unfruitful venture?

Its not so easy to understand the whole book. Reading/writting doesn't resolve.

Click to expand...

First of all it is not a book. SGGS is our only Guru and of course understanding the whole SGGS is quite a task. Almost impossible. That is why we take hukumnaamas daily so we can follow them and work our lives of Miri-Piri based on them.

To understand one word, the light, sound and matter related to word needs to be resolved.

Click to expand...

Please elaborate the above.

As an example : Make a child read apple/ recite apple/ but don't show/physically sense apple to him.

Click to expand...

I agree. That would be bad teaching skills. Why would you make the child read and recite something without showing as far as apple is concerned?

Are you trying to imply that our Gurus were bad teachers because they told us to parrot/chant/repeat?

Apple will be in front of him, one will never be able to understand apple as existence.

Click to expand...

Not if you show the apple first to the child and then ask him to repeat the name till he gets it. After all he/she is a baby and just beginning to form words physically and put the picture of the apple in his brain's memory bank.

Understanding of word intutive awareness, guru's bani has experienced every one as blind. but even phyically blind can get the way through imaginative sense.

Click to expand...

Yes of course. I have many members in one side of my family who were born blind and all of them were/are successful as poets, Raagis etc etc.

But person with eyes are intutively blind, close eyes for one day and understand how blinds find there way and experience blind, through there evoked imaginative sense.

And we people with eyes are intutively blind and get hurted from obstacles, as a blind
man.

Please elaborate the above.

If each word of "GURU's BANI" reflects to mind, one is connected to NAAM,

Now you are contradicting yourself. Here what you said above:{ "Guru's Bani" is understanding of total book of 1430 Pages. } and now you are talking about just one word of Gurbani. Which is it?
