Shanti Kaur shares suggestions for getting the most out of your Bowing Jaap Sahib experience.
- When sitting in Rock Post (Vajrasana), place the top of the feet on the ground with the heels directly under the sitting bones. The ideal is to keep the knees together and keep the feet parallel and slightly apart.
- Keep the spine elongated. Keeping the mulbhand (muscles of the rectum, sex glands and navel drawn up and in) engaged as well as neck lock (tuck the chin slightly, lengthening the back of the neck) will help keep your spine straight and the lower back supported.
- Remember to have your hands on your thighs throughout the bowing.
- Lit the sternum or breastbone upward. Bend from the hips and let your heart lead and your head follow. As the Siri Singh Sahib said, “Do it with devotion”
- If it is difficult to sit in this position, you can place a cushion or blanket between your feet and your buttocks. And if you cannot reach the floor with your head, then you can place a cushion on the floor under your head

Jaap Sahib est vraiment puissant. En 2013, quand ma Mentor me l’a révélé au festival Africain de kundalini yoga de Lomé, en 2014 je perdis mon boulot et je ne savais a quel saint me vouer. Ma femme me quitta. Je commençai simplement à pratiquer le bowing jaap Sahib chaque jour. En 2017 ma femme m’appelle de l’étranger et demande pardon. Sous le coup de la colère et de la vengeance, j’ai rompu la communication avec ma femme. J’ai commencé par sortir avec une autre dame et j’ai négligé de pratiquer régulièrement ma méditation jusqu’à cesser complètement. A présent la mendicité frappe à ma porte. Je suis crevé de dette, toutes mes affaires ont périclité avec la pandémie mondiale du covid.
Je prends la ferme résolution de reprendre le bowing jaap Sahib dès aujourd’hui !
C’est l’expérience que j’ai faite avec le bowing jaap Sahib et que je voulais partager. Cette méditation m’avais guéri, et elle est vraiment très puissante !

Wahe Guru. Thanks for sharing, Ram Singh! May the power of Jaap Sahib bring love, strength and grace to your life.

Yes, you have it. This what Shanti Kaur says about the rhythm of this movement: “There is a rhythm to it – “Namastwung Akaaley; Namastwung Kirpaaley…” Bow down…rise up …bow down…rise up. Keep this rhythm of bowing and rising all the way through to the very end of the bani.” This quote is from the instructions on the following blog page: https://www.sikhdharma.org/bowing-jaap-sahib-karam-naam-barnat-sumat/

QUESTION!! I’m currently copying the Jaap Sahib into a little blessing tome and it says namastang/namastvang/namo are the same, but do we bow equally for all the sentence beginners?
i.e. [keh sarbattra – bow] (daysai – lift) [keh sarbattra – bow] (bhaysai – lift)
