Revision history [back]

Ishnaan or panj ishnaan are means to awaken your mind and make it attentive towards meditation and gurbani. If you cannot do these for some reason, it's fine as long as your are alert while meditating and reciting banis.

On the other hand if ishnaan/panj ishnaan don't make your alert and active, then these are nothing more than mere rituals and don't serve any purpose.
