WaheguruJiKaKhalsaWaheguruJiKiFateh

daas was just wondering what Manglacharan is and what it means; and when does one read it? daas remembers searching on the internet on how to do take a hukamnama from Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaaj and upon doing so, daas found the www.BCSikhYouth.ca site and it said that Baba Harnam Singh Ji Kherasahib wale said the proper way to take hukamnama was to either read manglacharan (Which would bring a more "accurate" hukamnama) or by reading Mool Mantr. Could sangat please enlighten daas on what Manglacharan means and what is "considered" to be Manglacharan. Thank you

Manglacharan in Gurbani appears at the beginning of every Bani. There are different types of Mangals. Mangals are written in reverence of Waheguru. Baba Harnaam Singh Ji referred to "Ikoangkar Satnam.....Gur Parsad" as Manglacharan and up to "Nanak Hosi Bhi Sach" as Mool Mantar. Other Mangals are:

1) Ik Oangkar Satgur Parsad

2) Ik Oangkar Satnam Gur Parsad etc

Hindu writers revere their teachers, gods or goddesses in their mangals. Many Ragis before starting Kirtan sing Manglacharan. Keep in mind that Manglacharans are always read, sung or written at the beginning and never at the end. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
