WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
During Guru Tegh Bahadhur Sahib Ji's journey he was pursued by two thieves, one a Muslim and the other a Hindu, who watched day and night for an opportunity to steal his horse.
While Guru Sahib wearied with travel lay asleep on a dark night, the thieves, it is said, saw from their place of concealment a tiger issue from a lonely forest and make three prostrations before the sleeping Guru.
The Muslim thief became afraid and said to the Hindu, ' The Guru whom a carnivorous animal not only does not touch him, but also bows to, must be some wonder-worker.' The Muslim would therefore never steal his horse, but would go home.
The Hindu thief could not avoid recognizing the Guru's power, but at the same time remained fixed in his resolution to commit the theft. On awaking in the morning Guru Sahib heard of the theft, and in reply to his Sikhs said that the horse and the thief would be found standing on a certain spot to the north of his camp.
He accordingly sent his beloved Sikhs, and ordered them to bring the horse and the thief before him. Guru Sahib asked the thief why he had stolen the horse, and why he had remained standing with the animal instead of running away.
The thief told him all that had occurred prior to the theft, and added that when he had mounted the horse he became blind and could not see his way. He had travelled several miles but could not find the road, and therefore halted at the place where he was arrested.
In his contrition he afterwards climbed a jand tree, broke off a portion of a branch, and impaled himself on the stump. The place is now called Sulisar. Thus did the thief gather the fruit of his sins. Such is the punishment, as says Shaikh Farid, that awaits those who perpetrate evil deeds.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
There was once a bridge which spanned a large river. During most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass thru freely on both sides of the bridge. But at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing a train to cross it.
A switchman sat in a small shack on one side of the river where he operated the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place as the train crossed. One evening as the switchman was waiting for the last train of the day to come, he looked off into the distance thru the dimming twilight and caught sight of the trainlights. He stepped to the control and waited until the train was within a prescribed distance when he was to turn the bridge. He turned the bridge into position, but, to his horror, he found the locking control did not work. If the bridge was not securely in position it would wobble back and forth at the ends when the train came onto it, causing the train to jump the track and go crashing into the river. This would be a passenger train with many people aboard.
He left the bridge turned across the river, and hurried across the bridge to the other side of the river where there was a lever switch he could hold to operate the lock manually. He would have to hold the lever back firmly as the train crossed. He could hear the rumble of the train now, and he took hold of the lever and leaned backward to apply his weight to it, locking the bridge. He kept applying the pressure to keep the mechanism locked. Many lives depended on this man's strength.
Then, coming across the bridge from the direction of his control shack, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold. "Daddy, where are you?" His four-year-old son was crossing the bridge to look for him. His first impulse was to cry out to the child, "Run! Run!" But the train was too close; the tiny legs would never make it across the bridge in time. The man almost left his lever to run and snatch up his son and carry him to safety.
But he realized that he could not get back to the lever. Either the people on the train or his little son must die. He took a moment to make his decision. The train sped safely and swiftly on its way, and no one aboard was even aware of the tiny broken body thrown mercilessly into the river by the onrushing train. Nor were they aware of the pitiful figure of the sobbing man, still clinging tightly to the locking lever long after the train had passed.
They did not see him walking home more slowly than he had ever walked: to tell his wife how their son had brutally died.
Now if you comprehend the emotions which went thru this man's heart, you can begin to understand the feelings of our Father, Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji when He sacrificed not only his sons, not only his whole family but everything he ever had to bridge the gap between us and waheguru.
Like the people in the train....we dont even realise what a sacrifice guru ji has made for us....

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
One day a group of Sikhs came from the west to be blessed with the holy darshan of Satguru Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji Maharaj, the king of kings, the saint of saints, and the protector of the weak. The Sikhs brought many offerings with them to present to their beloved Guru.
The group of Sikhs, had walked for many days and had arrived very late in the evening. They were very tired and hungry, as they had not rested or eaten properly in a long time. Guru Sahib knew this and he wanted to give his beloved sons and daughters langar.
The few Sikhs with Guru Sahib told him that langar had already been served, all the fires were extinguished and all the cooks had dispersed. They said that it even if they could be found, it would be very late to retire for rest after a second dinner had been prepared.
Guru Sahib then told his Sikhs not worry, as he had a room which was full of sweets of all kind, which he had collected for the marriage of his beloved daughter. He ordered that these sweets should be given to the jatha of Sikhs who had travelled many days and nights to come and see him.
The key to this room was kept by Guru Sahib's wife. When she heard he wanted to give the sikhs those sweets she refused to give him the keys or bestow the sweets on anyone till the bridegroom's party had first partaken of them.
Guru Sahib told Mata Ji to open the room many times, but each time she refused. Guru Sahib then said, 'My Sikhs are dearer to me than my life, Were they the first to taste the sweets, all obstacles to the marriage should be removed, but now the Muhammadans shall come and possess themselves of them. My Sikhs are like a garden. If its trees remain green they yield flowers, leaves, and wood for all purposes. Wherefore we should ever take care to foster Sikhs, and promote their comfort. From the days of Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj down to my father the fifth Guru, Satguru Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj it has ever been the practice to entertain five Sikhs, whenever anything of importance was to be done, and all efforts should therefore prove successful. When wandering Sikhs come to my house and go away disappointed, it is but a just requital that the sweets should fall to the Muhammadans, and the marriage be interrupted.'
The bystanders began to tremble. Guru Sahib would never let his beloved Sikhs go hungry. How could he? Those sikhs who he loved more than his life. At that same time, when Guru Sahib was telling the sangat what would happen in the coming months a gursikh came with five mans of sweets as a contribution to the marriage feast.
Guru Ji smiled at his beloved Sikh and embraced him. He then distributed the offering among the Sikhs who had come from the West, and thus enusred that those who came to the house of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj were fed.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
From Tapoban phorum
In 1704 when the army of emperor Aurangzeb had laid siege to Anandpur fortress and two of its generals Zabardast Khan and Wajir Khan were playing chess under the shade of a tree while others watched the game, Guru Gobind Singh Ji stood on top of the fortress wall and watched this scene through a telescope. Guru Ji took an arrow from his quiver, strung it hard on his bow and shot it across the fields towards the assembly. Down came the whizzing arrow striking hard into the wooden leg of the manji (indian bed) where the generals sat.
The two generals who were engrossed in the game became panicky when they felt the arrow strike the wooden leg and began to wonder whose audacity and boldness it could be, they both agreed that they had narrowly missed death. Wajir Khan pulled the arrow out with a trembling hand. Raja Ajmerchand of the nearby hill states who had turned an ally of the mughals saw the arrow and recognised it. “This can only be an arrow of (Guru) Gobind Singh, look it has gold mounted on it. It belongs to no one except the Guru. But it is hard to tell from where the Guru has aimed the arrow from?”
The Raja of Mandi at this point interjected, “The Guru is very brave, he must have shot it from atop of the fortress.” Zabardast doubted this as the fortress was nearly two miles away. The Raja of Mandi replied “ Two miles is nothing Guru Ji’s arrows are known to go a lot further.” Upon this Wajir stretched out his hands offering his grateful thanks to heaven for sparing his life.
All the military generals the officers present there began to admire the speak highly of Guru Ji’s chivalry and valiant conduct. They had hardly recovered from the shock of the first arrow, when a second came hissing by and hit the same leg of the manji again. The very sight of the second arrow put all the officers to flight. After a few moments they came out from under their hiding places. A piece of paper was found tied to the second arrow. Zabardast Khan gingerly untied it and read the Persian script.
“It is no miracle. It is a single art of marksmanship. I am not in favour of performing miracles nor do I intend to take the lives of Zabardast and Wajid Khan. You are labouring under the false notion that the first arrow has shot to kill either of you.” Thus the all knowing Guru knew the thoughts of the mughal officers.
THE ABOVE EXTRACT IS PRECEEDED BY THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS...
Every arrow of Guru Gobind Singh Ji was mounted with half an ounce of gold. Its object was to alleviate the suffering of the victim.
Should the person aimed at be wounded then he could sell the gold for medicine.
Should the mark prove fatal, then the gold could be used to aid the deceased family. Two specimens of these arrows are preserved.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
There is a story told of one Bhai Manj Ji, a votary of Sakhi Sarwar, a Muslim pir, whose shrine is on the border of Balochistan. Satguru Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj's fame had reached Bhai Manj Ji.
He had heard the Guru's hymns recited, and passionately desired to behold him. When he was blessed with the holy darshan of Guru Ji, he made the following requests, 'O Guru, heal my three fevers and make me a Sikh, and, deeming me your servant, save me and remove the great pain of transmigration.'
Guru Ji replied, 'You have made Sakhi Sarwar your priest. His way is easy. Sikhi, on the contrary, is difficult. In it you can not put yourself forward or assert yourself. You can not embrace it without being ready to sacrifice without a groan your life on its behalf. If you become my Sikh, you shalt be an object of public disgrace and abuse. People of all sorts of life, will laugh at you and mock you. Your relations will ridicule you, and allow you not to associate with them. They will also dispossess you of all your property. If you are prepared to endure such hardships and sufferings, then you become my Sikh. Otherwise talk not of Sikhi. Keep your wealth, and the good opinion of your family. Why heap on yourself the trouble by embracing my religion?'
Bhai Manj Ji replied, 'O Guru, the very moment I saw you and heard your words I turned away from Sakhi Sarwar, and I was overwhelmed with shame when I reflected that in imitation of others, I bowed my head at the shrine of a pretended saint possessing no real greatness. Thus do men forfeit their religion and lose the advantage of human birth.'
Bhai Manj Ji thus spoke in his humility and tears clouded his eyes. Maharaj replied, 'Accept Sikhi. Worship the true God, Akaal Purakh and it shall be a source of happiness to you.'

Are you prepared to become a Sikh of Satguru Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj?

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa
Waheguru ji ki Fateh
Here is a nice Sakhi of Guru Nanak Dev Ji for a Friday afternoon.
On one of his travels Guru Ji came to a town and stopped at the house of an old Sikh called Chundhwadi. He was very poor and was in a fluster as to what food to place in front of Guru Ji. He went to the local town not knowing what to do. While he was there he saw a gathering of people and went to see what was happening.
It was a wrestling match and the local Nawab was parading his champion. Now, the champion was called Maskeen and was tall and muscular and was undefeated. He stood while the proud Nawab challenged all the town if there was any person who would take on his champion. Maskeen strode into the middle of the large circle flexing his muscles. No one dared step forward for fear of serious injury. When Chundhwadi heard that the prize was 50rps he thought that if he could get the money he could use it to buy provisions to place in front of Guru Ji. He stepped into the ring and declared his intention to wrestle Maskeen. All fell about laughing, how could such an old man who was just skin and bone take on the mighty Maskeen?
As the two opponents came close Maskeen asked “What are you doing old man? You have no chance against me, what possesses you to fight me, you are going to get seriously hurt”
Chundawadi said “Oh champion, Guru Nanak Dev Ji is coming to my house today and I have no food to place before him, my only chance is to beat you and use the prize money.”
Maskeen fell into thought, “I have heard of Guru Nanak” he said “they say he is Khudha himself. I would also like to meet him.” After much soul searching he said “Old man, if I let you win will you take me to see Guru Nanak?”
“Yes” said Chundawadi “but what will become of you? If you lose, and lose to an old man your patronage will end and what will become of you?” But Maskeen did not hear this, all he could think about was meeting Guru Nanak.
So it happened that after a few moves Maskeen fell to the ground with a thump and as planned the old man put his foot on his chest and claimed the prize.
There was pandemonium, there was a riot, the proud Nawab was humiliated and disowned his wrestler. Maskeens reputation was ruined, he knew that he would be turned out of his house. His family were even more livid, when they heard what had happened they planned to do away with him. They hastily dug a trench under his munja and stuck in spikes and covered the whole thing with large palm leaves, they planned to murder him and then plea with the Nawab to let them stay at the house.
As Maskeen finally got away from the crowd he could not find Chundawadi in all the commotion and wondered home. His favourite daughter met him on route. She had seen what was happening and told her father. But Maskeen was a broken man, he did not care what happened to him, he shuffled to his house and went straight to the munja and lay on it fully expecting the whole thing to collapse into the hole underneath, but nothing happened. His little daughter ran to him and peered underneath “Papa, I can see a man in robes holding up your munja” she shouted. He knew, he just knew. Maskeen jumped off the bed and before he knew it Guru Nanak Dev Ji stood before him. He fell to his knees placing his head on Guru Jis feet. Guru Ji sat him down. “Oh Maskeen, you were willing to lose everything for me, I am now here for you”
Guru Sahib Ji blessed him and said that he would be remembered for always.
Fifth saroop, Guru Arjan Dev Ji adds Maskeens name to the 15th Sloke in Sukhmani Sahib Ji – “ Sukhi vasay Maskeenia aap nivaar tallay, wudday wuddy hunkarian Nanak garab gallay. “

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
(The sakhi has been split into two parts) It is about a sikh called almast and Satguru Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib ji Maharaj.
There was a Sikh called Almast, which means enthusiast. In his wanderings he arrived at that part of the district of Pilibhit where there had been built a Gurudwara to commemorate Guru Nanak Dev Jis visit. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, had left his mark of his five fingers on every leaf of a pipal tree there, and made sweet the bitter fruit of a soap nut tree some forty miles to the east of it. Some Jogis, who had now taken possession, wanted to root up the Guru's pipal,name the Gurudwara after Gorakh-nath, and abolish the name of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
Almast could not endure this. Considering the Gurudwara his own, he resided in it, and performed all the menial and religious duties connected with it. The Jogis sought to expell him, and thus stated their case:
'Gorakh-nath performed penance here, hence the name Gorakh-mata. Thy Guru only stayed here as a traveller for 4 days. How can the Gurudwara be his?'
Almast pointed to the marks of Guru Nanak Dev Jis hand on every leaf of the pipal tree, and instanced the sweetness of the soapnut. It would therefore not be proper for him to resign the place to the Jogis. He bluntly told them that Satguru Sri Guru Har Gobind, who was now on Guru Nanaks throne, would soon come and humble their pride.
The Jogis were angry at this and they set fire to the pippal and left not a trace of it. Almast told them that when the Guru came, he would restore the tree, and whoever committed a sin against Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj should perish root and branch.
Night and day Almast read the compositions of the Gurus. He used to pray, ' O searcher of hearts, true Guru, render us assistance'. Enduring hunger and thirst and the inclemency of all seasons, Almast waited until Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji should come to repair and take possession of Guru Nanak Dev Jis Gurudwara.
Many years went by. Guru Ji then arrived in nanakmata, which is several miles north of the city of piliphit, the jogis seeing his retinue, thought that some raja had arrived. On hearing who it was, they hid themselves in huts made of leaves. Almast came forth on hearing the neighing of Guru Ji's horse, uttered thanksgiving that his king had returned, and seemed like a dead man restored to life.
Near the spot where the pipal tree had been, Guru Ji constructed a platform and sitting on it repeated Gurbani. This being ended he sprinkled saffron on which he had breathed Gods name when lo, it is said the pipal emerged from the ground as a serpent from its lair. In proportion as the Guru sprinkled the saffron the pipal grew and after one night it appeared in full size in all its luxuriance.
End of part 1.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
One day Sant Baba Harnam Singh Ji was making his way to the home of Guru Sahib at Sachkhand Sri Anandpur Sahib Ji. At this time Sant Ji was extremely weak and could only walk a little while before he had to stop and rest. Many people saw Sant Ji struggling up the road but no one stopped and offered to help this beloved flower of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. A Sikh who was sat on a bullock cart saw Sant Ji staggering and offered him a ride up to Kapurthala, where he was going. Sant Ji accepted the ride and sat in the cart with the Sikh who looked very worried. As they travelled the Sikh told Sant Ji that he was going to court to hear the verdict by a magistrate of Karpurthala of a lawsuit against him.
The next day Sant Ji saw the farmer crying. Mahapursh asked the Sikh what was wrong. The Sikh said, ‘Today I am going to hear the magistrate’s verdict in the case against me. I know the verdict is going to go against me because the plaintiff has approached the authorities. I do not know how I am going to pay the fine and stay in prison.’
Sant Ji smiled and said, ‘Have faith in Guru Ji. You are a kind hearted Sikh of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and therefore he will help you. I guarantee that the verdict today will be in your favour.’ The Sikh then half-heartedly said, ‘I hope Akaal Purakh listens to your words Sant Ji.’
They then both began singing Guru Sahib’s praises as they started of to the Kapurthala courts. Sant Ji stayed with the cart as the Sikh went into the court. After some time he came out, jumping in happiness. He said to Mahapursh, ‘By some miracle played by you I have won the case’. Sant Ji smiled and said, ‘It is by the grace of Akaal Purakh. Now I must leave but please listen carefully to what I am going to say:
•Do not try to steal what belongs to someone else
•Try and spend as much time as you can in remembrance of God
•According to your means try and help the poor and needy
