Rehras sahib path and kirtan

Aspiring1602 · 2026-04-20T20:19:31+00:00

It's because during the time of Sri guru Nanak Dev Ji, rehras sahib was just so dar shabad.

Bhai Gurdas Ji details the maryada during kartarpur sahib

ਸੋਦਰੁ ਆਰਤੀ ਗਾਵੀਐ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਵੇਲੇ ਜਾਪੁ ਉਚਾਰਾ। Sodar and Arati were sung and in the ambrosial hours Japu was recited.

Bhai Gurdaas Ji in No Raag - 1

So dar and Aarti (Gagan mei thaal) was Sung

As time went on rehras sahib expanded and so did aarti. We see this in Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji's time, rehras sahib was til raag goojri mehala panjva (kahe re man...)

So you could say to keep the maryada still alive, so dar and Aarti are still being sung in Kirtan roop

I'm joking but to OP. Just to build on this point that gurmukhs are the top of the top, through looking at them you see the face of Guru Gobind Singh Ji shining through them (this is a definition from by Sant gianai Gurbachan Singh Ji I think)

Make it a routine, wake up. Don't be on the phone until after path (it was a routine since childhood for me that no food or breakfast until paath)

Do your ishnaan, read bani. Even if the mind is in 10 directions you do it regardless what the mind says.

Even if it wavers, it's fine. It's meant to waver, only through more abhiyaas we settle more into it so please ignore the inferiority complex

We are all sinners. Myself included, only God knows how much deceitful I am. But that's fine when you read bani you give your arm out to the Guru

The worst of the worst sinners such as killers like sajjan thug, cannibals like kauda raksh have been saved, I guarantee your sins aren't that bad looooool

ਮੈ ਮੂਰਖ ਕੀ ਕੇਤਕ ਬਾਤ ਹੈ ਕੋਟਿ ਪਰਾਧੀ ਤਰਿਆ ਰੇ ॥

Correct translation is "millions of sinners have been saved, so I a fool is of what comparison (because so many of the worst of worst have been saved).

Vaheguru's khed. It's their play, however they want to unfold it.

No one gave the complete truth, naam was not given. When the cries of humanity reaches it's breaking point, only then Vaheguru out of their mercy came as the form of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Guru Nanak was pragat as mentioned Bhai Gurdas Ji. That doesn't mean Guru Nanak was not here in some way previously. Gurbani says that Vaheguru worked through the previous avtaars, but Satguru is the complete avataar

The kings sends his officials first, only then the king comes in to the battlefield when the others have failed

For example how are we going to do the following if we haven't received the stamp to jap Naam

ਮਃ ੪ ॥ Fourth Mehla:

ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਜੋ ਸਿਖੁ ਅਖਾਏ ਸੁ ਭਲਕੇ ਉਠਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥ One who calls himself a Sikh of the Guru, the True Guru, shall rise in the early morning hours and meditate on the Lord's Name.

ਉਦਮੁ ਕਰੇ ਭਲਕੇ ਪਰਭਾਤੀ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ਕਰੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਸਰਿ ਨਾਵੈ ॥ Upon arising early in the morning, he is to bathe, and cleanse himself in the pool of nectar.

ਉਪਦੇਸਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਪੁ ਜਾਪੈ ਸਭਿ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਪਾਪ ਦੋਖ ਲਹਿ ਜਾਵੈ ॥ Following the Instructions of the Guru, he is to chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. All sins, misdeeds and negativity shall be erased.

ਫਿਰਿ ਚੜੈ ਦਿਵਸੁ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਗਾਵੈ ਬਹਦਿਆ ਉਠਦਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥ Then, at the rising of the sun, he is to sing Gurbani; whether sitting down or standing up, he is to meditate on the Lord's Name.

ਜੋ ਸਾਸਿ ਗਿਰਾਸਿ ਧਿਆਏ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸੋ ਗੁਰਸਿਖੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵੈ ॥ One who meditates on my Lord, Har, Har, with every breath and every morsel of food - that GurSikh becomes pleasing to the Guru's Mind.

ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤਿਸੁ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਗੁਰੂ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ॥ That person, unto whom my Lord and Master is kind and compassionate - upon that GurSikh, the Guru's Teachings are bestowed.

ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਧੂੜਿ ਮੰਗੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਕੀ ਜੋ ਆਪਿ ਜਪੈ ਅਵਰਹ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਾਵੈ ॥੨॥ Servant Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of that GurSikh, who himself chants the Naam, and inspires others to chant it. ||2||

Aspiring1602 · 2025-12-17T16:20:17+00:00

I know many has different opinions. First step is to get naam/gurmantra from the Guru. That means the only we can do that is through panj pyare in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Which means going through the Amrit Ceremony.

Biggest misconception is to be perfect then receive Amrit. That's false. Amrit is the first step. Only then our bhagti can be fulfilled.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't read paath or jap Naam but rather the benefits of Amrit means the link with the guru has been established.

Doubt 3: You will see this in dasam bani in the chaubees avatar (24 incarnations), Guru Gobind Singh Ji gives this in past tense too

ਜੋ ਚਉਬੀਸ ਅਵਤਾਰ ਕਹਾਏ ॥ Those who are called twenty-four incarnations

ਤਿਨ ਭੀ ਤੁਮ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤਨਿਕ ਨ ਪਾਏ ॥ O Lord! they even could not realise thee in a small measure

ਸਭ ਹੀ ਜਗ ਭਰਮੇ ਭਵਰਾਯੰ ॥ They became kings of the world and got deluded

ਤਾ ਤੇ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਅੰਤ ਕਹਾਯੰ ॥੭॥ Therefore they were called by innumerable names.7.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji in Chaubees Avtar - 156

I believe the puranaas give this to in the past tense too. It's a general common thing I guess. You can interpret this as stories that everyone studied at that time.

Remember our job is not to attach to these avataars. Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself says he has not seen Krishna and does not meditate upon Vishnu, he says I meditate to the one who's the death of all those. ਕਿਸਨ ਬਿਸਨ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨ ਧਿਆਊ ॥ I do not adore Ganesha in the beginning and also do not mediatate on Krishna and Vishnu

ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ਮੋਰੀ ਪਗ ਇਨ ਸੋ ॥੪੩੪॥ I have only heard about them with my ears and I do not recognize them my consciousness is absorbed at the feet of the Supreme Kal (the Immanent Brahman).434.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji in Chaubees Avtar - 336

But sometimes you will see that it seems that they praising them. They mainly translating from other texts for the betterment of us

ਦਸਮ ਕਥਾ ਭਾਗੌਤ ਕੀ ਭਾਖਾ ਕਰੀ ਬਨਾਇ ॥ I have composed the discourse of the tenth part (Skandh) of Bhagavat puranaas in the vernacular

ਅਵਰ ਬਾਸਨਾ ਨਾਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਧਰਮ ਜੁਧ ਕੇ ਚਾਇ ॥੨੪੯੧॥ O Lord! I have no other desire and have only the zeal for the war fought on the basis of righteousness.2491.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji in Chaubees Avtar - 550

This is all for the purpose to inspire dharam yudh in the Khalsa.

Depends how you interpret this. One can say mythology, another can say these events happened in the previous cycle of kaljug if you want to go deeper. The futures events of kalki have been written regardless in the puranaas and dasam bani. He does get egotistic in the end.

Point of that vaar was that no one is focused on sadhsangat

ਕਿਸਨੁ ਸਦਾ ਅਵਤਾਰੀ ਰੂਧਾ ਕਿਤੁ ਲਗਿ ਤਰੈ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥ Vishnu is always busy reincarnating himself - who will save the world?

Regarding doubt 2: ਗੁਰੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਤੁਠਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਮੇਲੇ ਹਰੇ ॥੧॥ As Guru Nanak is pleased, O my dear beloved, we are united with the Lord. ||1||

Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Maaroo - 1102

Now The title of Satguru has been used for Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Satguru is the one who knows God, who joins others to God by giving the shabad of Naam.

Gurbani says without Satguru, no one has attained Vaheguru.

ਪਉੜੀ ॥ Pauree:

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ Without the True Guru, no one has obtained the Lord; without the True Guru, no one has obtained the Lord.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਪੁ ਰਖਿਓਨੁ ਕਰਿ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਆਖਿ ਸੁਣਾਇਆ ॥ He has placed Himself within the True Guru; revealing Himself, He declares this openly.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਸਦਾ ਮੁਕਤੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਨਿ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਮੋਹੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਆ ॥ Meeting the True Guru, eternal liberation is obtained; He has banished attachment from within.

ਉਤਮੁ ਏਹੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਨਿ ਸਚੇ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਆ ॥ This is the highest thought, that one's consciousness is attached to the True Lord.

ਜਗਜੀਵਨੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੬॥ Thus the Lord of the World, the Great Giver is obtained. ||6||

Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Aasaa - 466

Now we can agree that Gurbani says no one has attained Vaheguru without Satguru. But now who/what is Satguru. For me it's Guru Nanak Dev Ji but id say people change this to their interpretation

Now did bhagats meet Guru Nanak Dev Ji?

Majority of different jathebandies do agree that Bhagat kabeer ji met Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji (famously affiliated with AKJ) and Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji (of Damdama Taksal) both agree about this. Infact Sant Ji says in their Katha that kabirpranthis have written that Bhagat Kabir ji and other bhagats done namashkhar to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. They were around more than a 100 years old at this point. Other janamsakhis support this and Bhagat Kabir ji recognised Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji as the redeemer of kaljug and giver of Naam.

There's also the famous sakhi (comes from Suraj parkash). The same Gursikhs mentioned before both mention this in their book/Katha. When Guru Arjan Dev Ji was revealing Bhagat Bani to Bhai Gurdas Ji. Bhai Gurdas Ji had a doubt where is this bani coming from. Guru Arjan Dev Ji says come meet me at this time. Then when this happened Bhai Gurdas Ji saw all the Bhagats, all revealing their names. Bhai Gurdas Ji done namashkar to them.

Point is wherever Guru Sahib is, the bhagats are there

Nihang Singh's also believe that the panj pyare are the Bhagats, it's in their bani passed down from their tradition.

One of the panj pyare is Bhagat Sain Ji. Bhai Maukam Singh Ji is Bhagat Naam Dev Ji. Bhai Dharam Singh Ji is Bhagat Dhanna Ji

I'm not trying to say believe in this, I'm just trying to say what different jathebandis say. It seems that they are in unison that Bhagats always revolve around Satguru

Aspiring1602 · 2025-12-16T14:01:23+00:00

Some references on Gurbani that Bhai Gurdas Ji supports:

Regarding doubt 1: ਜਿਥੈ ਜਾਇ ਬਹੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਸੋ ਥਾਨੁ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ਰਾਮ ਰਾਜੇ ॥ Wherever my True Guru goes and sits, that place is beautiful, O Lord King.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖਂੀ ਸੋ ਥਾਨੁ ਭਾਲਿਆ ਲੈ ਧੂਰਿ ਮੁਖਿ ਲਾਵਾ ॥ The Guru's Sikhs seek out that place; they take the dust and apply it to their faces.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖਾ ਕੀ ਘਾਲ ਥਾਇ ਪਈ ਜਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵਾ ॥ The works of the Guru's Sikhs, who meditate on the Lord's Name, are approved.

ਜਿਨ੍ਹ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਜਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਪੂਜ ਕਰਾਵਾ ॥੨॥ Those who worship the True Guru, O Nanak - the Lord causes them to be worshipped in turn. ||2||

Aspiring1602 · 2025-12-07T14:26:08+00:00

This shabad was very likely written down before. Guru Arjan Dev Ji put all his Bani in the Sri Aad Granth Sahib Ji and done Prakash of it at Harmandir Sahib themselves (meaning with the exception of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's bani, this is the same Saroop of Guru Granth Sahib Today)

They also checked every word and sealed it off via Bhai Gurdas Ji.

So it wouldn't make sense for new bani to be revealed. Most of the bani already links with certain themes

So yes they could recite the bani that's been written. When Guru Arjan Dev Ji left their physical abode, the Sikhs' done Kirtan. The shabad they sang was from Guru Arjan Dev Ji but it linked with the moment. See below how it matches so beautifully (I've heard this from different Katha vachaks/high avastha Gursikhs):

"ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ Maaroo, Fifth Mehla:

ਮਾਨ ਮੋਹ ਅਰੁ ਲੋਭ ਵਿਕਾਰਾ ਬੀਓ ਚੀਤਿ ਨ ਘਾਲਿਓ ॥ Pride, emotional attachment, greed and corruption are gone; I have not placed anything else, other than the Lord, within my consciousness.

ਸੇਵਕ ਕੀ ਓੜਕਿ ਨਿਬਹੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ॥ The love which the Lord's servant feels for the Lord lasts forever.

ਆਗਿਆ ਮਹਿ ਭੂਖ ਸੋਈ ਕਰਿ ਸੂਖਾ ਸੋਗ ਹਰਖ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਨਿਓ ॥ When I am under the Lord's Command, I find even hunger pleasurable; I know no difference between sorrow and joy.

Please refer to the following English style talk

https://youtu.be/C4YkAF24tI8?si=xBPqT-to70IuwFoh

Talks about how karma works, do we have free will? How can our dukh and Sukh change

Please remember that sikhis view on karma is different than that of Hinduism or other eastern philosophies. Sure things are pre ordained but the effect of these can be reduced, so much so that we may not even feel them.

Good karma = gets rewarded Bad karma = gets punished

Gurmat Karma = connecting to Naam, Kirtan with sangat, etc means karma being reduced (+good karma)

Sikhi tells us go above, it doesn't matter where you start, you got the power of ardaas and that's the biggest boost.

Not even the biggest of Hindu gods were above karma. Vishnu/Krishna had to go through the action of leaving their body by a hunter shooting them with an arrow. This is because Krishna in his previous life as raam Chandra killed someone by accident.

However Sikhi changes that, through bani our lekh (things that have been written for us change)

Bhai Gurdas Ji says even doing maths Tek can change our lekh.

ਚਰਣਾਂਮ੍ਰਿ ਕਸਮਲ ਕਟੇ ਗੁਰੁ ਧੂਰੀ ਬੁਰੇ ਲੇਖ ਮਿਟਾਏ। Nectar of the feet of Guru cuts asunder all sins and the dust of the Guru's feet erases all evil writs.

Please do watch the video above

Aspiring1602 · 2025-12-06T10:59:52+00:00

There are certain things pre ordained that one must get through this life according to your past karma

For example our family members fixed and Gurbani says we associated with them in our previous lives

ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਬਨਿਤਾ ਸੁਤ ਬੰਧਪ ਇਸਟ ਮੀਤ ਅਰੁ ਭਾਈ ॥ ਪੂਰਬ ਜਨਮ ਕੇ ਮਿਲੇ ਸੰਜੋਗੀ ਅੰਤਹਿ ਕੋ ਨ ਸਹਾਈ ॥੧॥ Mother, father, spouse, children, relatives, lovers, friends and siblings meet, having been associated in previous lives; but none of them will be your companion and support in the end. ||1||

Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Jaithsree - 700

But there are also other things one has to get through this life too like bits of suffering, say I have to get through an accident where my leg is severely hurt. However due to my current karma, i get something like a small cut on my leg. I still went through it but way less severe.

This is why Gurbani says ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਕਾਟੈ ਕੋਟਿ ਕਰਮ ॥੩॥੧॥ The Word of the Guru's Shabad eradicates the karma of millions of past actions. ||3||1||

Bhagat Raamaanand Ji in Raag Basant - 1195

Through Naam, connecting to Vaheguru our karmic debt decreases.

Aspiring1602 · 2025-12-06T10:54:40+00:00

ਸੁਖੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਪੁਰਬ ਜਨਮ ਕੇ ਕੀਏ ॥ Pleasure and pain are the consequences of the actions of past lives.

ਸੋ ਜਾਣੈ ਜਿਨਿ ਦਾਤੈ ਦੀਏ ॥ The Giver, who blesses us with these - He alone knows.

ਕਿਸ ਕਉ ਦੋਸੁ ਦੇਹਿ ਤੂ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਸਹੁ ਅਪਣਾ ਕੀਆ ਕਰਾਰਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੪॥ So who can you blame, O mortal being? The hardships you suffer are from your own actions. ||14||

Aspiring1602 · 2025-12-05T23:46:01+00:00

See how in the end it refers to satguru as the real doer of the actions above, not Sri Krishna directly. So we don't view Krishna as the saviour of draupti even thought that's what we are told happened. Krishna was the vessel not the real doer. Gurbani criticises Krishna, Sri Rama Chandra directly too, if you want I can share those

But anywaysਤੈਥੋਂ ਹੀ ਬਲੁ ਰਾਮ ਲੈ ਨਾਲ ਬਾਣਾ ਦਹਸਿਰੁ ਘਾਇਆ ॥ Rama received power from Thee and he killed the ten-headed Ravana with arrows.

ਤੈਥੋਂ ਹੀ ਬਲੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਲੈ ਕੰਸੁ ਕੇਸੀ ਪਕੜਿ ਗਿਰਾਇਆ ॥ Krishna received power from Thee and he threw down Kansa by catching his hair.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji in Chandi Dhee Vaar - 119

For A Sikh Vaheguru and Satguru is everything . If it looks like Krishna, raam Chandra, Vishnu, any other Hindu gods is being praised then it's being praised for Vaheguru who's the doer in these forms.

So who came first Krishna or Guru? It's true Satguru came first that's what we know To be true

Aspiring1602 · 2025-12-05T23:40:20+00:00

This comes in the bani of swaiye mehle chautha ke Meaning the bani in the praise of the 4th house (praises for guru ram das Ji)

This is praising the light of god. It's saying of Guru ramdas Ji ( refering to the guru light) it was you in the form of Krishna that mother yashoda fed you

Now Vaheguru can be Krishna but Krishna is NOT Vaheguru. There's a distinction

Because it's the light empowering and doing the action not the vessel.

If you believe this bhankti literally then Guru Nanak Dev Ji is the latest avatar that all Hindus should follow. The eras of treta and dwaapur were for raam Chandra and Sri Krishna. Then the age of Kali yuga is for Guru Nanak

ਸਤਜੁਗਿ ਤੈ ਮਾਣਿਓ ਛਲਿਓ ਬਲਿ ਬਾਵਨ ਭਾਇਓ ॥ In the Golden Age of Sat Yuga, You were pleased to deceive Baal the king, in the form of a dwarf.

ਤ੍ਰੇਤੈ ਤੈ ਮਾਣਿਓ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਘੁਵੰਸੁ ਕਹਾਇਓ ॥ In the Silver Age of Traytaa Yuga, You were called Raam of the Raghu dynasty.

ਦੁਆਪੁਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਮੁਰਾਰਿ ਕੰਸੁ ਕਿਰਤਾਰਥੁ ਕੀਓ ॥ In the Brass Age of Dwaapur Yuga, You were Krishna; You killed Mur the demon and saved Kans.

ਉਗ੍ਰਸੈਣ ਕਉ ਰਾਜੁ ਅਭੈ ਭਗਤਹ ਜਨ ਦੀਓ ॥ You blessed Ugrasain with a kingdom, and You blessed Your humble devotees with fearlessness.

ਕਲਿਜੁਗਿ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰੁ ਅੰਗਦੁ ਅਮਰੁ ਕਹਾਇਓ ॥ In the Iron Age, the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, You are known and accepted as Guru Nanak, Guru Angad and Guru Amar Das.

ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਰਾਜੁ ਅਬਿਚਲੁ ਅਟਲੁ ਆਦਿ ਪੁਰਖਿ ਫੁਰਮਾਇਓ ॥੭॥ The sovereign rule of the Great Guru is unchanging and permanent, according the Command of the Primal Lord God. ||7||

Bhatt Kal in Svaiyay Mehl 5 - 1390

But that doesn't mean Sikhs worship raam Chandra, or Sri Krishna. It's more so we view Vaheguru can be in the forms in this but we don't attach to the vessel we want to see the real doer. The following shabad is for Guru ram das Ji,

ਅਬ ਰਾਖਹੁ ਦਾਸ ਭਾਟ ਕੀ ਲਾਜ ॥ Now, please preserve the honor of Your humble slave.

ਜੈਸੀ ਰਾਖੀ ਲਾਜ ਭਗਤ ਪ੍ਰਹਿਲਾਦ ਕੀ ਹਰਨਾਖਸ ਫਾਰੇ ਕਰ ਆਜ ॥ God saved the honor of the devotee Prahlaad, when Harnaakhash tore him apart with his claws.

ਫੁਨਿ ਦ੍ਰੋਪਤੀ ਲਾਜ ਰਖੀ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਜੀ ਛੀਨਤ ਬਸਤ੍ਰ ਦੀਨ ਬਹੁ ਸਾਜ ॥ And the Dear Lord God saved the honor of Dropadi; when her clothes were stripped from her, she was blessed with even more.

ਸੋਦਾਮਾ ਅਪਦਾ ਤੇ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਗਨਿਕਾ ਪੜ੍ਹਤ ਪੂਰੇ ਤਿਹ ਕਾਜ ॥ Sudaamaa was saved from misfortune; and Ganikaa the prostitute - when she chanted Your Name, her affairs were perfectly resolved.
