Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh

Deadlines are necessary, and pressure is a good thing. In spite of all the appropriate warnings we hear about stress, the ideal state is not an environment totally without it. At first blush, you may disagree with me. But let me tell you a story.

In an old black-and-white episode of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone," a mobster dies and finds himself in a gorgeous penthouse in a high-rise casino. Things were perfect! Every time he placed a bet, he won. Every joke he told elicited belly laughs. He had everything he had ever dreamed of having. And it was effortless.

Eventually, however, he began to feel restless and bored. Always winning and always getting just what he wanted had somehow numbed his ability to find joy in anything. In his undemanding environment, he began to crave a challenge.

So the stress-free, always-victorious tough guy went to the gray-haired fellow who appeared to be the curator of the place. He asked if maybe God hadn't made a mistake by sending him to heaven. The cordial host said that God hadn't sent him to heaven. In that exchange, the mobster realized he had been consigned to hell.

Although we sometimes fault God for creating Planet Earth as a place that tests our mettle, challenge is wholesome. Just as lifting weights builds muscle, facing the routine trials and occasional catastrophes of life builds character. Duty, work, and challenge are necessary elements of a life that would experience the joy of accomplishment and triumph.

We tend to grumble when we think we're getting a raw deal or that life is being unfair. But it is not unfair for any one of us to have to pull her load, earn his keep, or otherwise justify the space he or she occupies.

Your greatest fear today is actually your greatest opportunity. With God as your partner, you can face the challenge and grow from it. The ultimate vexation is neither struggle nor failure but a life so monotonous that it offers no victories over hardship.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

The Qazi had a beautiful daughter, Kaulan who was a disciple of Mian Mir. From her childhood she had occupied her mind praising God's Name and remembering Him in the company of the saints.

Through the holy company of Mian Mir, she had heard praises of Satguru Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji Maharaj and she praised Satguru Ji in the midst of her own family.

This incensed her father very much who addressed her,"O Infidel, you praise an infidel (Guru) and obey not the law of Mohammad, according to which it is forbidden, under penalty of death, to praise an infidel."

Kaulan replied, "Father dear, the law of Mohammad does not apply to holy men. Saints are God's servants."



On hearing this from her daughter, the Qazi burnt with bigotry and indignation. After consulting his brother Qazis, he issued an order for the execution of his daughter, Kaulan for her sin of transgressing the Mohammad law.

Kaulan's mother informed her daughter and Mian Mir about the order of the Qazi. Mian Mir recommended to Kaulan, "There appears no means of saving you here. It is better if you go to Amritsar and seek protection of Satguru Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji Maharaj, the king of kings and the saint of saints. None else but he can save your life." Kaulan heeded Mian Mir's advice and went to Amritsar.

Kaulan began her life at Amritsar under the protection of Satguru Ji. She was given a separate building to reside. Kaulan found consolation in repeating following Sabad:

Kaydaaraa, Fourth Mehl, First House:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
O my mind, chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har.
Wash the Feet of the True Guru, and worship them. In this way, you shall find my Lord God. ||Pause||
Sexual desire, anger, greed, attachment, egotism and corrupt pleasures - stay away from these.

Quite a bit of time passed in this manner until one day she took all her jewels and placed them before the king of kings, Satguru Ji, Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji Maharaj and said, "O friend of the poor, please apply the price of these jewels to some religious object by which my name may be remembered in the world for sometime."

Satguru Ji got a tank excavated in her name with that money in 1621. The tank is still famous as Kaulsar in the city of Amritsar.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Many writers have expressed their opinion that Akbar granted the land only to Guru Ram Das on which he founded the city of Ramdaspur (later known as Amritsar), and so they contend that the city of Amritsar was not founded during the time of Guru Amar Das. It is also a well-known fact of Sikh history that Emperor Akbar came to Goindwal and he dined with the common people in the Guru's langar before he could see the Guru. It seems that the Emperor granted the estate in the name of Bibi Bhani at that time, and Jethaji being her husband, was made incharge of the estate by Guru Amar Das. Guru Nanak awarded the Guruship to Bhai Lehna and not to his sons, and it is quite obvious that in order to avoid hostility of his sons towards his successor, he asked Guru Angad to move to Khadur instead of continuing to live in Kartarpur. The same circumstances prevailed during the reign of second and third Gurus. It is, therefore, quite likely that the planning of a new city was called for during the reign of Guru Amar Das as mentioned in the previous part.
Bhai Jetha (Guru Amardas) used to earn his livlihood by selling boiled grains. Very often he would freely give away the boiled grains to the needy and to the poor labourers. Guru Amardas was highly impressed by his charitable nature and blessed the young boy. Ultimately the divine succession was bestowed on him, he was named Ramdas and was installed as the fourth Guru (Nanak).

Guru Ram Das left Goindwal for his new colony. Many Sikhs followed the Guru and settled there. At first this city was called Ramdaspur, which is now called Amritsar. A revenue collector of Patti in district of Lahore had five daughters, the fifth daughter was very religious. One day the father asked who gave them to eat and drink. The first four daughters said that it were their parents who had provided them with food and other necessities of life, but the fifth daughter told her parents that God was the only Cherisher of His creation. On hearing this reply her father got very angry and remarked,I shall see if God will protect you.

One day a crippled leper came to the town and the father married his fifth daughter to him to teach her a lesson. She willfully accepted him as her true husband. She put him in a basket and carried him on her head, and begged from door to door to maintain their livelihood. One day she left him under a tree near a pool of water and went to the nearby colony to beg for food. The leper saw some crows (black in color) dipping in the water and they turned white when came out of the water. The leper thought that the water had some miraculous healing property. So he left his basket and crawled into the water, and lo, the leprosy at once disappeared from the body except one finger which was left out of water. When the lady came back, she did not believe the story of the healed leper. Ultimately they went to Guru Ram Das, who confirmed saying that the pool possesseth such extraordinary efficacy which the man alleged. Upon this the couple became Guru's followers and they worked in the excavation of the tank later on.

The tree under the shade of which she left her husband, is still standing there and is called 'Dukhbhanjni Beri'. The pool was known as Amritsar- tank of nectar, the place itself came to be known as the city of Amritsar. The work was not finished by Guru Ram Das but it was completed by his successor, Guru Arjan Dev.

GURU RAM DAS AND SRICHAND:

Guru Ramdas (1534-1581 AD) laid the foundation stone of Amritsar on 13th June 1577. The devotees have been visiting the Holy City since its existence, for having a dip in the ascred 'Sarovar' and also for promoting their trade.

Baba Srichand, the eldest son of Guru Nanak, had founded a religious sect of his own known as Udasis. He visited Amritsar and came to see Guru Ram Das. On seeing Guru's long flowing beard, Baba Srichand asked him jocularly why he grew it that long. The Guru replied,To wipe the dust from the holy feet of the saints like you. 'Your this sweet humility is the magic that makes you so great and makes me feel so small,' replied Srichand. Baba Srichand promised the Guru his co-operation. After that the Udasis spared no pains to serve Sikh eligion. It is said that after the death of Banda Bahadur, when the Mughal rulers decided to root out Sikh religion, it was the Udasis who kept the Divine spark of the Sikh faith alight.

FREE KITCHEN (GURU KA LANGAR):

Like his predecessors, Guru Ram Das carried on the work of Langar in a more elaborate and methodical way. As in the past strict adherence was made to the term 'Pangat' in Langar. Anybody irrespective of race, caste, creed, religion or sex, could partake of food without any hesitation. The caste system and pilgrimages were decried and superstitions were denounced.

NEW CUSTOMS:

Guru Ram Das composed a hymn known as 'Lawan' in Suhi Mohalla 4, page 773 of Guru Granth Sahib, and asked his Sikhs to recite them to solemnize marriages. The Sabad 'Lawan' embodies in itself a lesson for the couple to develop true love for each other. In reality this Sabad is for a human being to develop love for the divine ridegroom.

The Guru composed the following Sabad to instruct his Sikhs in the practice of their religion:

He who calleth himself a Sikh of the true Guru, should rise early and meditate on God;

He should make an effort early in the morning, bathe in the inner tank of nectar;

Repeat God's Name under Guru's instruction, and all his sins and transgressions shall be erased;

At sunrise he should sing the Guru's hymns, and whether sitting or standing meditate on God's Name;

The disciple who at every breath meditateth on God, will be dear to the Guru; The Guru imparteth

instruction to that disciple to whom my Lord bestows His grace;

The servant Nanak prayeth for the dust of the feet of such a disciple of the Guru who himself repeateth

God's Name and causeth others to do so.

(Gauri Ki //- Mohalla 4, p-305-6)

SELECTION OF GURUSHIP:

Sahari Mal, Guru's cousin from Lahore, invited the Guru to grace his son's marriage. For some reason the Guru could not go, but he asked his eldest son, Prithi Chand to attend the marriage. Prithi Chand refused to go. His refusal is attributed to possibly two motives. It is said that he was incharge of the offerings that were made to the Guru and was able to furtively set aside much wealth for himself. If he had gone to Lahore, this illicit gain might have fallen in somebody else's hands. Secondly he thought that the time was fast approaching for the selection of a person to succeed his father as Guru and so he should remain in Amritsar. Mahadev, the Guru's second son, did not want to go because of his indifference to worldly affairs. The third son, Arjan Dev agreed to attend the marriage. He was instructed to stay on in Lahore after the marriage to look after the affairs of the Sikh Sangat of that place.

After some time he started feeling the pangs of separation for his father and the Guru, and wrote three letters, two of which were intercepted by his elder brother, Prithi Chand. A letter marked '3', reached the Guru and Arjan Dev was immediately recalled from Lahore. On his return he told his father that he had sent three letters. The truth came to light and Prithi Chand was forced to produce the other two letters. Thus Prithi Chand's actions were exposed.

Guru Ram Das embraced Arjan Dev, sent for five paise and a coco-nut, and placed them before him. He descending from his throne, seated him there before the whole assembly of the Sikhs. Bhai Buddha affixed the tilak of spiritual sovereignty to Arjan Dev's forehead, and thus he was proclaimed as Guru Arjan Dev. This appened in August, 1581.

Prithi Chand became so mad that he addressed his father in abusive language. He told Bhai Buddha that his father acted improperly in giving Guruship to his younger brother. He vowed that he would remove Guru Arjan and would seat himself on the Guru Gaddi (throne). The Guru counselled him not to quarrel about it, but Prithi Chand refused to submit and adopted an attitude of open defiance.

Having nominated Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Ram Das left for his old headquarters at Goindwal. After a few days He left eft this world on the first of September, 1581.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Sant Nidhan Singh Ji’s name and life stories are often given to the sangat to show them how a true Sikh of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj should conduct themselves. This is the story of how Sant Ji became a sevadaar at Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Ji.

Sant Ji was born in 1882 in the village Nadholaa. After finishing school Sant Ji joined the army where he commanded great respect due to his high spiritual status. From a very young age Sant Ji always strived to find the lotus feet of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj and as such constantly kept the name of Akaal Purakh on his lips.

One day as Sant Ji was mediating under a tree in the jungle close to his barracks he saw a bright light followed by a group of Shaheed Singhs dressed all in blue riding their horses while gurbani resounded throughout the jungle. Sant Ji immediately got up and began to follow the Shaheed Singhs. In this way the Shaheed Singhs and Sant Ji eventually reached Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Ji.

Upon reaching Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Ji Sant Nidhan Singh Ji made up his mind to give up his army job so that he could serve Guru Sahib’s sangat. Sant Ji took such good care of the sangat that the other sevadaars became very jealous of him, as all the sangat would talk about the devotion he had towards Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.

The sevadaars made up an excuse and collectively told Sant Ji that he could no longer do seva at Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Ji. When Sant Ji heard this his heart began to cry but he accepted their orders and decided to head back to Punjab. As Sant Ji made his way back he stopped somewhere for the night and began to mediate on the name of Akaal Purakh. A few seconds after Sant Ji started doing the heard a horse galloping towards him. When Sant Ji opened his eyes he saw Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj the king of kings and the saint of saints standing in front of him.

Sant Ji with tears in his eyes bowed before Guru Sahib and kissed his holy feet. Guru Sahib with his two hands picked his Sikh up and asked him, ‘Where are you going? Why are you leaving the seva that I had blessed you with?’

Sant Ji humbly told Guru Sahib that he already knew about all the events, which had transpired. Guru Sahib smiled and said, ‘Nidhan Singh you must go back to Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Ji and start the langar seva’. Sant Ji looked at his beloved Guru and said, ‘Guru Ji, I have nothing how can I start this seva?’

Guru Sahib then said, ‘With my pocket and your hands this will be accomplished. Now let us go back to Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Ji.’

Together Guru Ji and Sant Ji went back to Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Ji where Guru Sahib’s bachan was fulfilled.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

One day after the morning congregation was over a man brought a large bear into the darbar of Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. The man wanted to give a performance with his bear before Guru Sahib and the sangat and as a consequence asked for permission. On being permitted to do so he began to wrestle with his bear. After a while he used his stick to make the bear do all sorts of tricks.

At the time a Sikh called Bhai Kirtia Ji was doing chaur seva over Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. As the bear did it’s tricks Bhai Kirtia Ji would begin to laugh out loudly. Towards the end of the performance Guru Sahib turned to Bhai Kirtia and asked him, “Bhai Kirtia do you not recognise the bear?” Bhai Kirtia looked confused and said, “Guru Ji it is a bear I have never seen” Guru Sahib smiled and said, “Bhai Kirita it is your father Bhai Gurdas”.

Upon hearing this Bhai Kirita was really surprised and upset. He folded his hands together and humbly said to Guru Sahib, “O Guru of the world, my father always did seva in your holy darbar. He would get up early in the morning and recite his prayers. He also served the ninth King, Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Tegh Bahahdur Ji Maharaj. Having done such dedicated seva how can this be the reward given to him? If this is his fate what fate awaits someone like me? Please be kind and tell me why my father ended up in this unfortunate position after serving the house of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj with such love and devotion.”

Guru Ji said, “It is correct that your father had served Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji Maharaj devotedly. But on one occasion, while he was distributing karah prasad, a passing Gursikh came into darbar sahib to bow before the king of kings, with a cartload of goods on the move. After paying his respects to Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji Maharaj and the sangat the Gursikh begged for some prasad but your father refused to give him any. Instead, he reprimanded that Gursikh for making the request again and again and for advancing towards him like a bear. That Gursikh picked up a small piece of prasad which had fallen on the floor and uttered, ‘Waheguru’, and went away asking Akaal Purakh why some Sikhs of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj had forgotten the true spirit of Sikhi. According to this Gursikh those fake Sikhs were the real bears. A few days after this incident your father died and on account of the words uttered by that Gursikh was born again as the bear who sits in front of us today.”

On hearing these words of Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj the entire congregation felt pity for Bhai Gurdas Ji and collectively they begged Guru Ji to somehow redeem Bhai Gurdas Ji from that sort of life. Guru Sahib smiled at his Sikhs and turned towards the owner of the bear and asked him what price he was willing to sell the bear? The owner of the bear agreed to part with the animal for 200 rupees. Guru Sahib took 200 rupees from his own pocket and paid the owner of the bear.

After this the bear sat at the feet of Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. Guru Sahib then got some karah prasad prepared which was distributed to all the sangat. Guru Sahib fed the bear a bit of prasad. A few seconds after Guru Ji had done this the bear went to sleep for the last time and Bhai Gurdas Ji’s soul was liberated by that King of this world and the next.

There are many morals to learn from this sakhi. Would someone be so kind as to explain what these are?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

(Taken from http www.manvirsingh.blogspot.com)

Guru Nanak Sahib jee was sitting in the gathering of the Sangat along with his sons, when he lifted one takka (a 2 paise coin) and held it in his hand. Guru jee asked Baba Siri Chand, his elder son, "What do you see lying in my hand?" Baba Siri Chand replied, "I see only a takka, which you had just lifted in front of the entire Sangat. What else could it be?" Guru jee then turned to his younger son, Baba Lakhmi Daas, to ask him the same question, which he got the same reply.

Guru Nanak Sahib jee asked the Sangat members what they saw, which they humbly replied, “O Guru Gareeb Niwaaj (O Guru, Sanctury of the Helpless) due to our limited vision we can only say that there is one takka in your palm." When Guru jee asked Bhai Lehna jee, "O Dear Sikh! What do you see lying in my hand?” Bhai Lehna jee with utmost humility, tears rolling down his eyes and with folded hands said, “O Sachey Paatshaah (O True King!), with my little vision, I see all the wealth and happiness of this world (lok) and the next world (parlok) in your hands. I am unable to see beyond that”.



May Waheguru do kirpaa on us all that when we look at Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee, we don't just see ink, paper and the colourful decorated rumaalay (draperies). Instead, may we be blessed with the vision of seeing living, speaking and ever-present Jyot (Divine Light) of Guru Nanak Sahib jee manifest in full glory in the Partak Guru, Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee.


vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

Guru Hargobind knew that now was time to prepare an army of saint-soldiers. He understood that it was necessary for the defense of the Sikhs and of the Dharma. He would never attack anyone, but if someone made war, his Sikhs must be able to defend themselves and to defend others. Guru Hargobind is a beautiful saint and the Sikhs love him very much, we say, "Guru ji, may we be at your feet, you are the True emperor, you are the True King."

     The Emperor of India at that time was Jahangir. Emperor Jahangir heard some slander from an enemy of the Guru, "Guru Arjun was killed by your orders, your majesty. His son, Hargobind, is now the Guru. He's making preparations for war! He keeps a strong army, he wants to take revenge for his fathers death. He wants to be king himself, he already calls himself the 'True King'. He lives like a king and he cares for no one." But the emperor had also heard good things about the Guru from his advisers, "I pray your Majesty, do not listen to anyone who speaks bad about the Guru, The Guru has no desire for empire. He always meditates on the Name of God, he is wealthy and famous because of God's gift."

     So the emperor asked to see the Guru. When he met the Guru, emperor Jahangir was impressed. Even more than that, one day when a tiger attacked the emperor while he was out walking with the Guru! Everyone was really afraid, but Guru Hargobind jumped off his horse blocked the ferocious tiger with his shield and then ended the tigers life. Jahangir thought, "I am so grateful! No one could stop that tiger but the Guru saved my life." What do you think the emperor would have done if the Guru wasn't there to save his life?

     Even though he admired Guru Hargobind, he still had some doubts. He still had fear in him. One time he asked Guru ji, "O Guru, I've been told that you are supposed to be a holy man but instead you do worldly things. You make your Sikhs call you the True Emperor, but I am the emperor. Your Sikhs call me a false king. Isn't this true?" Guru ji explained to him that he was following the example of Guru Nanak and how it was his duty to take care of the Sikhs both spiritually and physically, "I love my Sikhs, and they love me. I can not stop them from saying these things with such love. It is by saying these things that love expresses itself in words, it is only natural. I have never told anyone to call me a True Emperor, in Guru Nanak's house God is the only Emperor."

     The emperor heard this but he was not satisfied. They went to their different tents. Later that day a poor young grass cutter from that area heard that the Guru was nearby! He immediately came to the Guru's camp, "Is the True Emperor here?! I heard he is near, please tell me where he is." They thought he was talking about Jahangir, "Oh yes, the emperor is sitting under the shade of that tree right over there." The grass cutter ran over there and put a penny in front of the emperor. He thought he was the Guru and he fell at his feet and prayed, "O True Emperor, all other kings are false. They rule for a short time, Your rule is forever and is beyond this world. Bless my soul, wash away my karmas, bring me in to your house of wisdom of light. It is you who can give true protection, it is YOU who saves!" Jahangir looked around and said, "This man wants me to bless his soul and save him from spiritual darkness, I do not have the power to do that. I can not even save my own life, how will I save his soul?"

     In that moment he saw for himself that it is the Sikhs who called the Guru "True Emperor." Jahangir admitted to the grass-cutter, "I am not the True Emperor, I am false, your True King is over there." The Grass-cutter picked up his penny and ran to where the Guru sat, "O Guru...." He prayed at the feet of the Guru and Guru ji blessed him, "Always be sweet and humble in your words and actions. Love everyone and hate no one. Work honestly and share whatever you have. Always be good to others and always be fair to everyone. God is with you every moment of your life. Remember God in every moment. Obey the teachings of the Guru. You will be happy in this world and in the next world."

     All kings, emperors and rulers are under God's power. Recite the Name of God and become satisfied. Be around the saints and find God within.

Children Of God

A blessed GurSikh was
once asking me to
imagine that I was with my
dad and someone grabbed
dad by the throat then
started verbally abusing him, what would I do?.
Obviously I'd defend him.
In the same way whenever
someone says something
wrong or against
Waheguru jee or SatGuru jee then that person must
be corrected there and
then by the children of
God - the Bhagats. Now I understand why this
blessed GurSikh always
stands and corrects
anyone who says
something wrong, wereas
I would just let them get away with it and ignore it. For example the other
day, a man at the
Gurdwara was saying 'O
God does everything, he
makes one person do bad
things and another person do good deeds. Even a
leaf can't move unless
God wants it to.' Then he
said, `thinking of these
things makes my mind go
bad!' (Meaning he'd prefer to carry on talking about
worldly things rather than
God, and blame God for
him not being that
religiously inclined!). The
blessed Gursikh said, `God loves every single
creature and wants the
best for each of them. God
is Good and wants
everyone to be good. So
how can someone who is good ever make anyone
do something bad?' He continued, `It's
impossible. But man is
such a fool that he doesn't
accept that his bad actions
are his own doing, but
blames God. Blaming God, insulting God,
refusing to believe in God
etc he puts up a barrier
between himself and
Waheguru ji. This barrier
blocks out the love and virtues which are
continuously pouring over
us. Guru Nanak Dev jee
taught us to sing praises
of Waheguru ji so the
blessings carry on showering down.' It is the duty of the
children of God to always
defend the Truth.
