What does Trilochan mean, please? WJKK WJKF

VJKK VJKF! Bhagat Trilochan is a Bhangat whose Bani is in Guru Granth Sahib Jee. The name literally means the one who sees the past, present and future.

Will everything you ask from Babaji come true just like that or hard work is also essential?

'Karam khand kee Bani Jorh' - when one reaches the spiritual level of Karam Khand then whatever they say will come true. At the time of Guru Arjan Dev Ji when guruji's Mehl (wife) went to see Baba Buddah Ji for a son, babaji crunched an onion saying this is what mataji's son will do to Tyranny. The Bachan came true with Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji Maharaj who fought and set up the Akaal Sena.

I just keep my kirpan on me how I wear it during the day. I don't find tying it around my head helps as it still gets wet when I wash my kes. That alright?

Hanji that's fine but maybe cover it with something. Also make sure you check for rust regularly

Whats the law in the UK about the size of a kirpan?

There's a law allowing Sikhs to wear Kirpan - Criminal Justice Act 1988 (section 139) and Offensive
Weapons Act 1996 (section 3 and 4).

So basc I was smoking a zoot and I saw my Amritdhari mate. as you do I offered him a couple pulls but before he asked if I put any chip(tabaco) in there. I forgot I put some in there. As he didn't know it's not his fault is it? It's like when you forget to tell someone the cake may contain egg

The Khalsa shouldn't be smoking 'zoot' anyway ji. Please watch and show your friend this video...

We haven't done anything, the guru brought you onto this path and make friendship with them because they will guide you throughout life.

Through prayer can you alter God's plan. For example if it was not in your hukam for something to happen. If you do ardas and pray for it, will God change his plan for you?

Free will or destiny - it's a conundrum really which will mess with your mind. We can change the plan through Naam, Bani, Seva etc. but still ultimately that is still pre-ordained.
Would definitely recommend this video ji:

Does naam have the power to eradicate mental illnesses such as OCD and depression etc?

Guru Arjan Dev Ji tells us -
sarab rog kaa aoukhadh naam ||
The Naam is the panacea, the remedy to cure all ills.

Do I have to go to the gurdwara to be a Sikh? If I didn't want to go to the Gurdwara, but i meditated at home, is that alright or should I be going to the Gurdwara?

We should be remembering Vaheguru all the time but Gurbani stresses the important of Sadhsangat as it helps us to connect. If we were to do Bhagti on ourselves then we would be ascetics renouncing the world completely. We should go into Sangat regularly to get a boost and also Gurdwara Sahib is important to get Guru Sahib's Darshan.

If a mona wakes up during amrit vela and starts japping naam will he benifit from it ? Will he recieve phal or does he have to be an amritdhari ?

Of course! Whether Amritdhari or not we still will get phal for our good actions.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a new line of underwear out, is it okay if I wear it under my kashera?

Guru Sahib has blessed us with Kacchera so we should be wearing only Kacchera.

Veerji some1 told me they do simirn in thier head... If ur jus startin out is it better to do it using ur mouth? Or in the head? ... Whats the difference if simirin is done with the mouth than doin it in the head.

Hanji there are different stages of Simran. First of all we start with Baikri Bani which is reciting Naam with tongue. Then comes Madhma which is where the Simran goes to the Kant (throat), and then to Pasanti Bani which is in the Hirda (heart). After this stage one reaches the Avasta of 'Gurmukh Rom Rom Har Dhiavey,' which is when we remember Vaheguru with every hair on our body.
We don't purposefully move from one stage to another it comes with Abhiyaas (practise).

When we do prayer and close our eyes, what are we meant to visualise- e.g golden temple, word Waheguru in print , etc???

We can use an image to help us if we need as it's better then being distracted from other thoughts. You can imagine Waheguru shabad, Ik Oangakar or Guru Nanak etc.

I ate a veggie burger and I think it could have had eggs. The feeling of being unsure is kind of making me feel guilty. What should I do? I don't know if pesh would be needed. Is ardas enough?

If we accidentally eat it then we don't need to go for Pesh for that. Best to do a Japji Sahib and Ardaas for forgiveness, Guruji's forgiveness is beyond our limits.
