Thank you for asking this question;
There is no answer to taking a Hukam Nama before or after reading Gurbani. NIT NAEM. In fact, there is no mention of the NITNAEM as taught to us by the clergy.
Gurbani states:
ਮ: ੪ ॥
ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਜੋ ਸਿਖੁ ਅਖਾਏ ਸੁ ਭਲਕੇ ਉਠਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥
ਉਦਮੁ ਕਰੇ ਭਲਕੇ ਪਰਭਾਤੀ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ਕਰੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਸਰਿ ਨਾਵੈ ॥ (ਮ:੪, ਪੰ:੩੦੫)
The spirit of the above verse is: The Sikh of the Gur Satgur gets up in the morning and remembers the Creator ੴ, THE ONE.
Taking the initiative, takes a bath and immerses in the pool of Nectar (sea of Gurbani).
Here the emersion in Gurbani implies, to read the Gurbani, understand it, comprehend it, for the purpose of living one’s life accordingly. Please note there is no mention of specific BANI or BANIAN.
The rest of the specific rituals are developed by the clergy as a guide. Making it a ritual is against the message of Gurbani.
One must understand the objective each act and do it with a purpose to improve one’s life not do it as a ritual. Hollow rituals have no value as per Sikhi.
