Patt For Relative Who Has Died

[skaur8888]

Dear Sangatji

My close relative has passed away today. The family live far so I won't be able to take part in the patt, but I will go for the funeral when it's arranged. I will be working in the day, but wanted to pray for my relative until the funeral, could you give me advice about which patt I should do. I don't have family where I am, there is gurdwara but no programmes every day - they have evening programme two evenings in the week so I can go to those .

Haan ji, sorry for your loss.

Kirtan sohila as per maryada. Also in addition, as per sant gyani gurbachan singh bhindranwale you can do 21st asthpadi of sukhmani sahib with ardas so that deceased surti can attached to shalok- sargun nirgun nirankar sun samadhi aap apan kiya nanak ape fir jaap ||

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa , Waheguru ji ki Fateh

when we have had deaths like this we have been advised to do sukhmani sahib paat and Salok Mahala 9 too by our elders .

In addition to what others have said above, a couple of harder Baniaa to recite but are appropriate for a time of mourning are Salok Sahaskritee and Jaitsri Kee Vaar. If you haven't taken Gurbanee Santheyaa then maybe try listening to them. There available via Gurmatveechar.com website > Audio > Gurbani Ucharan > Bhai Jarnial Singh (Damdami Taksal Wale) Beant Banis.
