Just out of curiousity is it possible to receive bad luck or any disadvantages from worshipping them ji?

Obviously Waheguru are the creator, and karm play a part, but how can it affect a persons life ji?

Well sister,

what is bad luck?

Or what is the worst thing which can happen to a jeev-atma?

The answer naturally is: being away from our beloved Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

So worshipping any other than Wahiguru, is the biggest disadvantage or bad luck by itself, which one gets in doing so.

Because we can become the rulers of the Trilok, or at most, reach and spend some time in Swarg or Baikunth, but never ever become one with those entities, gods, godesses, etc..

The Bani says:

Ekas bin sabh dandh hae. Without the One Lord Wahiguru, everything else is false, is filth.

Moreover:

Bahut janam vichurey teh Madhao, ehe janam Tumare lekhey.

In countless lives, we have done all sort of poojas, paths, japa, tapa, pilgrimages, bathings in so called sacred waters, etc... and the result is, we are still wandering aimlessly in the "chaurasee ka chakar", so dear Lord, this very present life I dedicate it in Your exclusive devotion.

And so, what is that blessed and unique devotion which purfies us from all our trishnas, sins, sanskaras, vaasnas, and ultimately guarantees our union with Him?

The Bani referring to this devotion which can be offered to Wahiguru and accepted in His Court, says:

Prabh ka Simran sabh tay oochaa.

Prabh ka Simran, man kee mael jaae.

Prabh ka Simran garb na baseh.

Within just these 3 lines above and in just few words, we can define the base and summary of Sikhee.

Sikhee is not complicated at all, rather it is the most simple, tender, and direct to Wahiguru´s abode.

To end, a bit more from Gurbani, as per means of the true Bhakti.

The Bani clearly says: Jin Har japeeya, se Har hoeeya.

You see, the Bani or Gurmat is perfect from all angles, it our "durmat" or deep ignorance, which makes us interpret the Bani wrongly.

That is the only reason, why we do so many other things, which we proudly think is our dharam, thus get away farther and farther from Wahiguru.

And in the bargain, we foolishly loose our very lives...and who knows if we will ever get another human form, or even, when will we get it, to dedicate oureslves at His Lotus Feet.

This present life is our time, this present life is our only chance, so let us take the anchor of His Naam alone, and get ferried away from this mayavee Bhavsagar, to our Nijh Ghar, Sach Khand, at His Lotus Feet.

Sat Sree Akal.

Everything which these gods have is given to them by Waheguru. They also ask Waheguru for all these powers that they have.

ब्रहम महेस सिध मुनि इंद्रा भगति दानु जसु मंगी ॥१॥
Barahm mahes siḏẖ mun inḏrā bẖagaṯ ḏān jas mangī. ||1||
Brahma, Shiva, adepts, silent sages and Indra, ask for the alms of the Lord's meditation and praise.
ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ, ਸ਼ਿਵਜੀ, ਕਰਾਮਾਤੀ ਪੁਰਸ਼, ਚੁਪ ਕਰੀਤੇ ਰਿਸ਼ੀ ਅਤੇ ਇੱਦਰ, ਸੁਆਮੀ ਦੇ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਅਤੇ ਕੀਰਤੀ ਦੀ ਖ਼ੈਰ ਮੰਗਦੇ ਹਨ।

sikhni777,

Nice words jee.

But I would say, these deities have their powers due to the role they have to play in the creation, not that they ask for it.

Just as law authorizes a policeman to catch a thief, or a judge to send someone to prison ....

In a similar way, Nature has given them(these gods) such attributes in order not to display them but to run the mayavee creation to an extent. That´s it.

Because as you very well say in a line below, they also ask for the alms for the Lord´s meditation and praise.

Then if so is the case, then naturally it makes no sense in worshipping them, but rather according to the Bani, directly to Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

Because as stated beautifully at the end of the Shabad quoted by you above, they too, if they want emancipation, they too have to come first in the human joonee, and grasp the Feet of a Gurmukh, of a Sadh Jana, who are one with Wahiguru Akal Purukh, and thus get the Amrit Naam from them.

Sat Sree Akal.

Here is the shabad which explains the fruits of worshipping these deities

गोंड ॥

भैरउ भूत सीतला धावै ॥
Bẖairo bẖūṯ sīṯlā ḏẖāvai.
He who runs after sprite Bhairav and goddess Sitla,

Kẖar bāhan uho cẖẖār udāvai. ||1||
he rides a donkey and scatters dust.

Ān ḏev baḏlāvan ḏaiha▫o. ||1|| rahā▫o.
I have given away all other goods in exchange for Him. Pause

The man, who uttering the Name of Shiva and worships him;

Baraḏ cẖadẖe da▫urū dẖamkāvai. ||2||

Thou art called the primal goddess,
ਤੂੰ ਮੁੱਢਲੀ ਦੇਵੀ ਆਖੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ,

at the time of granting salvation, where did you hide thyself.
ਮੁਕਤੀ ਦੇਣ ਦੇ ਵੇਲੇ ਤੂੰ ਕਿਥੇ ਆਪਦੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਲੁਕਾ ਲੈਨੀ ਹੈਂ?
गुरमति राम नाम गहु मीता ॥
Gurmaṯ rām nām gahu mīṯā.
Under the Guru instruction, O my friend Hold fast thou fast to the Lord's Name.
ਗੁਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਤਾਬੇ, ਹੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਿੱਤਰ! ਤੂੰ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਘੁੱਟ ਕੇ ਫੜੀ ਰੱਖ।
प्रणवै नामा इउ कहै गीता ॥५॥२॥६॥
Paraṇvai nāmā i▫o kahai gīṯā. ||5||2||6||
Prays Namdev so says the Geeta as well
ਨਾਮ ਦੇਵ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਗੀਤਾ ਭੀ ਇਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਹੀ ਆਖਦੀ ਹੈ।

    • 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.
