Please share stories of gursikhs of more recent times (though not currently living) and how they lived their life in the midst of grihst jeevan. E.g. remaining aloof while in Maya, dealing with the difficulties of worldly and family life while being detached. And importantly what kind of daily routines they had. I'm thinking of singhs such as Bhai harnam Singh Anand jee, Bhai rajinder Singh Dudleby Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum

I have found out that there is a particular gurdwara in the UK which apparently gives those in amrit sanchar naam drirr, however do not give keski as kakkar. I think that members of this panj pyare were told keski is kakkar when they recieved amrit but for some reason do not give this as kakkar to abilakhis while carrying out panja di seva. I am very surprised that akj uk does not seem toby Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum
How should ੴ be pronounced? I have heard: Ik Onkaar, Ik Oankaar, Ik Ongkaar, Ik Oangkaar. In, Dakhni Oankaar, "Oankaar" is written. In Akal Ustat there also appears, "Ekankaara". Which pronouncation, if any of these, is the one for ੴ ? And why is there both "Oankaar" and "Ekankaara" in Gurbani? What does ੴ actually mean? I am also interested to know about any vichaar at all thatby Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Can gursikhs please share which gursikhs would be good to meet and do veechar with in India. I feel so unfortunate to have missed the chance to meet pyare Bhai Jeevan Singh Jee, please tell me which gursikhs I could still do darshan of?

I may be visiting amritsr at some point to do darshan of Sri darbar sahib... I have no family there so will have to stay in a hotel so no place to cook. Is there any place where you can eat amritdhari made langar?by Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum
The biggest influence on daas while coming into sikhi were chardikala rehatvaan akhand keertan singing gursikhs, steadfast in rehat. Personally, I am the biggest loser there is, I have no kamayee or rehat, however I beg the blessed sangat to take note of a few sad things I am noticing these days. If the gursikhs get dhil then what hope is there for reliant keere like me?? What I notice in jatby Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Does anyone have any sakhia from the jeevan of Baba Fareed Sani. I think that the sakhia we have been reading about Baba Farid were many about the original Baba Farid, not the writer of Sri Gurbani, Sheikh Brahm (Fareed Sani). Thank you.by Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum

for about 5 years now i have had virtually no friends. when i started getting into sikhi i basically dropped all contact with non gursikhs - i didnt go out to eat, didnt go cinema etc. i went through my entire university without making a single friend (out of choice as i do not feel any desire for friendship with non bhagats). however near me there are very few gursikhs. there are some and i knowby Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum
This may sound weird but this is really affecting me. I love doing naam abhiyaas, keertan and gurbani. with guru sahibs kirpa it gives me a lot of peace, the thing is that I feel so peaceful and carefree after doing the above that I find it impossible to concentrate my mind on anything, especially studies.

Majority of gursikhs had naam sanskar at birth, from non-lareevaar saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, I want to know is it necessary to have naam sanskar redone with lareevar saroop? What if you have already taken amrit but didn't change it at the time of amrit sinchar (but have had naam sanskar from padchedd saroop at birth?). I know that some gursikhs have done this.

Request to Gursikhs, please share your day to day diet- Breakfast, lunch, dinner. maybe an example of your week? This would be very helpful for ideas and to see that its not so hard!by Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Firstly, I am not talking about raagis who literally charge for doing keertan, and that to very highly! Without a doubt this is not gurmat. My question is, if an honest seeker abhiyasi were to put a sincere effort in to learning keertan vidia, and then to use this vidia to do keertan seva full time in Gurdwara Sahibs, would it be wrong for them to be provided maya to look after their needs, gby Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Yes but sometimes you might just be one of the first to arrive, so no ones joray but your own! haha. But for raynsabhayee keertans this seems a good solution.by Theguptone - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Daas was just wondering when is the right time to do joriya di seva? The reason this question comes about is, sometimes while at say amritvela naam abhiyaas, a keertan darbar or raynsabhayee keertan you may want to do joriya di seva, but at the same time do not want to miss out laha as opportunity to get laha in sangat is also a very virla (rare) opportunity.
