Method To Do Ishnaan

1.) We should get up at amritvela.

2.) We should try to clean our stomach (through excretion) before doing ishnaan.

3.) We should brush our teeth.

4.) Tie our keski to our waist, wrap Sri Sahib (kirpaan) around keski and also keep your kanga there. Open our kesh.

5.) Use full cold water (no hot water at all) and wash your hair and face. Consciousness reaches it's maximum. Abhyaas goes automatically.

6.) After washing your hair, soak out water and comb your hair and beard. Wash your kanga and place in in your joora (hair knot). Tie your keski (a new one, a fresh one) on your head.

7.) Wash your Sri Sahib and Gatra or use your second set of washed Gatra and Sri Sahib and tie it around your head.

8.) Now do ishnaan of your body, again with pure cold water. Such is the affect of cold water that automatically swaas swaas simran abhyaas starts in full force. The feeling after ishnaan with cold water is undescribible (beyond description).

9.) Keep separate towels for your body and hair. Use your body wala towel and dry your body.

10.) Remove your kachherra and ensure that the right leg is removed first. Keep the wet kachhera in your left leg for now.

11.) Take your new kachhera and place your right foot or leg in the new kachherra. Now remove your left leg from the wet kachherra and wear your left leg in the new kachherra.

12.) All the time while we do ishnaan we must do either Sri Jap Ji Sahib or Waheguru Gurmantra or Mool Mantra. Otherwise Guru Sahib does not accept ishnaan di sewa.
