vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ke fateh

actuuly usally at this time at our gurdwara they do jakare and then carry on kirtan so hopefully before hand i can ask the kirtani if they can do naam simran after the jakare and then the rest is up to them

Hukumnama is always done after Ardas. I don't think it's to much to ask to do ardas after 13 minutes of Waheguroo Jaap.

I think Ik-Oun-Kaar is correct, they usually do panj Jakara at new years and then carry on with Kirtan for a little longer.

Why 13 minutes?

Bhai Balwinder Singh Ji requested sangat everywhere to do Gurmantar Jaap for 13 minutes, I'm not sure if this is the reason why but this is why I think they said 13 minutes.

Tera means 'yours', i.e. I am yours O Lord'

Guru Nanak Dev Ji - Tera Di Dhuni

Guru Nanak Dev ji's brother-in-law Jai Ram was serving as Devan of Navab of Sultanpur. He promised to find a job for Guru Nanak in Sultanpur. Jai Ram got the post of store-keeper of Navab's granary for Guru Nanak Dev ji. In this granary, grain was collected as a part of land revenue and sold later. One day Guru ji was weighing provisions and counting weighing as 'one, two, three, four,...eleven, twelve, thirteen (tera) (in Punjabi language, tera means thirteen and also Tera means 'yours', i.e. I am yours O Lord'), he went on in ecstacy, tera, tera, tera, tera, tera, tera, ... He went on weighing and saying 'Tera' The customers did not know how to carry the bountiful gifts of this store-keeper.

Ultimately, this news reached Navab and he ordered an enquiry against Guru ji. The Guru's detractors were surprised when the stores were found full and the accounts showed a balance in favour of Guru ji. After that Guru ji sent his resignation to the Navab to embark on his Divine Mission.

Let us all also say in our minds 'Tera' in everything we do. O Lord, I am yours, what I do is what you make me do, all this is Yours...this family, job, money, friends, house, car, they all belong to you my dear God, I belong to you, O my Lord!!!

tera...tera...tera...

waheguroooo, waheguroooo, waheguroooo

It's similar to when they requested everyone all over the world to recite Mool Mantar on November 15th

Msg from Takht Sri Hazoor Sahib:
