ਸਿੱਖ ਗੁਰੂ

ਸਿੱਖੀ ਨੂੰ ਦਸ ਗੁਰੂਆਂ, ਜਿੰਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਧਿਆਪਕ ਜਾਂ ਮਾਸਟਰ ਦੇ ਤੌਰ ਕੇ ਜਾਣਿਆ ਜਾਦਾ ਹੈ, ਨੇ 1469 ਤੋਂ 1708 ਵਿੱਚ ਤਿਆਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਅਧਿਆਪਕ ਰੂਹਾਨੀ ਜੋਤ ਸਨ, ਜਿੰਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਜਿੰਦਗੀ ਦਾ ਮੁੱਖ ਮਕਸਦ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਭਲਾਈ ਹੀ ਮਕਸਦ ਸੀ। ਹਰ ਗੁਰੂ ਨੇ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ ਦਾ ਸਮਰਥਨ ਕੀਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਸ਼ਾਮਿਲ ਕੀਤੀ, ਜਿਸ ਦੇ ਨਤੀਜੇ ਵਜੋਂ ਸਿੱਖ ਧਰਮ ਦੀ ਨੀਂਹ ਤਿਆਰ ਹੋਈ। ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਪਹਿਲੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਨ ਅਤੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਦੇ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਖਰੀ। ਜਦੋਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਗਿਆ ਤਾਂ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਗਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੂੰ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੇ ਆਖਰੀ ਅਤੇ ਅੰਤਮ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਣਾਇਆ।

ਤਖਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਪਟਨਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ, ਪਟਨਾ।


ਪੰਜ ਪਿਆਰੇ

ਸਿੱਖ ਧਰਮ ਦੇ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੰਜਾਂ ਪਿਆਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਪੰਜਾ ਨੂੰ "ਪਿਆਰਿਆਂ" ਦਾ ਮਾਨ ਤਾਂ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਵੀ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਹੋਣ ਦਾ ਮਾਨ ਬਖਸ਼ਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਹੁਕੁਮ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਪਰਵਾਨ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।

ਇਹ ਪੰਜ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਸਨ:-

ਭਾਈ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ
ਭਾਈ ਦਇਆ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ
ਭਾਈ ਧਰਮ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ
ਭਾਈ ਹਿੰਮਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ
ਭਾਈ ਮੋਹਕਮ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ


ਪੰਜ ਕਕਾਰ ਹਨ:-

੧. ਕੇਸ
੨. ਕੰਘਾ
੩. ਕੜਾ
੪. ਕਿਰਪਾਨ
੫. ਕਛਹਿਰਾ



1. ਕੇਸ

ਕੇਸ ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖ ਦੀ ਮੋਹਰ ਹਨ, ਸਿੱਖ ਗੁਰੂ ਦਾ ਹੁਕਮ ਮੰਨ ਕੇ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਲਈ ਦਸਤਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਕੇਸਕੀ ਸਜਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ ਤੇ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਲਈ ਕਾਇਮ ਰੱਖਦੇ ਹਨ, ਪੈਰ ਦੇ ਅੰਗੂਠੇ ਤੋਂ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਸਿਰ ਦੀ ਚੋਟੀ ਤੱਕ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਦੀ ਬੇਅਦਬੀ ਨਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਬਖਸ਼ਸ਼ ਲੈਂਦੇ ਹਨ।


2.ਕੰਘਾ
ਕੰਘਾ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਫਾਈ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਕੰਘਾ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਫਾਈ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉੱਥੇ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਦਰਸਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਫਾਈ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਨਾਲ ਮਨ ਦੀ ਸਫਾਈ ਵੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾਏ।


3.ਕੜਾ
ਕੜਾ ਦਰਸਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਸਿੱਖ ਹੁਣ ਗੁਰੂ ਵਾਲਾ ਬਣ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਗਿਆ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਭਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਸਿੱਖ ਦੇ ਅੰਦਰ ਲੋਹੇ ਵਰਗੀ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਬਲ ਪੈਦਾ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਕੜਾ ਸੁਚੇਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਗੁਰੂ ਦਾ ਸਿੱਖ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਹੁਣ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਗੁਰਮਤ ਦੇ ਨਿਯਮ ਪਾਲਣੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕੋਈ ਕੁਕਰਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ.


4.ਕਿਰਪਾਨ
ਕਿਰਪਾਨ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀ ਬਖਸ਼ਸ਼ ਅਤੇ ਹਉਮੇ ਤੇ ਹੰਕਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਰਨ ਵਾਲੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਦਾ ਚਿਨ੍ਹ ਹੈ। ਕਿਰਪਾਨ ਸਦਾ ਗਾਤਰੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੱਖਣੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦਾ ਹੁਕਮ ਮੰਨ ਕੇ ਸਰੀਰ ਤੇ ਧਾਰਨ ਕਰਨੀ ਹੈ। ਬੁਰਾਈਆਂ ਦੇ ਅਧੀਨ ਭੈੜੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਜੁਲਮ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਦੀ ਅਤੇ ਮਾਨਵਤਾ ਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਨਾ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ।

5.ਕਛਹਿਰਾ
ਕਛਹਿਰਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਹੁਕਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਹਿਨਣਾ ਜਰੂਰੀ ਹੈ। ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਇਹ ਬਖਸ਼ੀ ਹੋਈ ਦਾਤ ਸਿੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਵਿਸ਼ੇ ਵਿਕਾਰਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਾਸ਼ਨਾਵਾਂ ਤੇ ਕਾਬੂ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ।

Lok Virsa Pehchaan / PUNJABI PEOPLE
« on: September 22, 2010, 04:59:00 AM »
The Punjabi people (Punjabi: پنجابی (Shahmukhi), ਪੰਜਾਬੀ (Gurmukhi), Hindi: पंजाबी (Devanagari)), also Panjabi people, are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group from South Asia. They originate from the Punjab region, which has been host to some of the oldest civilizations in the world including one of the world's first and oldest civilizations, the Indus Valley Civilization. The Punjabi identity is primarily cultural and linguistic, with Punjabis being those whose first language is Punjabi, an Indo-European tongue[5]. In recent times, however, the definition has been broadened to include also emigrants of Punjabi descent who maintain Punjabi cultural traditions, even when they no longer speak the language.
Punjabis are primarily found in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, which forms the present Indian state of Punjab and Pakistan province of Punjab; this is because the Punjab region was divided between the two nations at independence from Britain. In Pakistan, Punjabis comprise the largest ethnic group at roughly 60% of the total population of the country and reside predominantly in the province of Punjab and Azad Kashmir. In India, Punjabis represent about 3% of the population. The majority of Punjabi-speaking people in India can be found across the greater Punjab region which comprises the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Besides these, large communities are also found in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir and the Indian states of Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.
Punjabi is the dominant language spoken in Pakistan, and 11th most spoken language in India and 3rd most spoken language in South Asia. According to the Ethnologue 2005 estimate[6], there are 88 million native speakers of the Punjabi language, which makes it approximately the 11th most widely spoken language in the world. According to the 2008 Census of Pakistan[7], there are approximately 76,335,300 native speakers of Punjabi in Pakistan, and according to the Census of India, there are over 29,102,477 Punjabi speakers in India[8]. Punjabi is also spoken as a minority language in several other countries where Punjabis have emigrated in large numbers, such as the United Kingdom (where it is the second most commonly used language[9]) and Canada, where in recent times Punjabi has grown fast and has now become the fourth most spoken language after English, French and Chinese.[10]. There are also sizable communities in United States, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Persian Gulf countries, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
Punjabis are ethno-linguistically and culturally related to the other Indo-Aryan peoples of South Asia. There are an estimated 120 million Punjabis around the world.

History

Main article: History of the Punjab


Ranjit Singh, Maharaja of Punjab ca. 1835–40
The Partition of India in 1947 split the former Raj province of Punjab; the mostly Muslim western part became the Pakistani province of West Punjab and the mostly Sikh and Hindu eastern part became the Indian province of Punjab. Many Sikhs and Hindus lived in the west, and many Muslims lived in the east, and so partition saw many people displaced and much intercommunal violence. Several small Punjabi princely states, including Patiala, also became part of India. In 1950, two new states were created; the former Raj province became the state of Punjab, while the princely states were combined into the Patiala and East Punjab States Union (PEPSU). Himachal Pradesh was created as a union territory from several princely states and Kangra district. In 1956, PEPSU was merged into Punjab state, and several northern districts of Punjab in the Himalayas were transferred to Himachal Pradesh.


The golden throne of Maharaja Ranjit Singh
The capital of the undivided Punjab Province, Lahore, ended up in Pakistan after partition, so a new capital for Indian Punjab was built at Chandigarh. After years of struggle by the Akali leadership(Punjabi Suba Movement) and detention of thousands of sikhs and loss of many lives Punjab was divided on linguistic basis.On 1 November 1966, the mostly Hindi-speaking southern half of Punjab became a separate state, Haryana. Chandigarh was on the border between the two states, and became a separate union territory but serves as the capital of both Punjab and Haryana. Chandigarh was due to transfer to Punjab in 1986, but this has been delayed pending an agreement on which parts of the Hindi-speaking areas of Abohar and Fazilka, in Firozpur District, should be transferred to Haryana in exchange.
During the 1970s, the Green Revolution brought increased economic prosperity for the Punjab, mainly due to Pratap Singh Kairon, the late Sikh leader. However, a growing polarisation between the Indian National Congress led central government and the main Sikh political party, the Shiromani Akali Dal, began to widen during the 1970s. The hostility and bitterness arose from what was widely seen by the Sikhs as increasing alienation, centralization and discriminatory attitudes towards Punjab by the Government of India. This prompted the Shiromani Akali Dal to unanimously pass the Anandpur Sahib Resolution which among other things called for granting maximum autonomy for the Punjab and other states and limiting the role and powers of the Central Government.


Dalip Singh Sukerchakia, the last Maharaja of Punjab
Some Sikhs demanded equal rights that were promised at the time of partition while some wanted an independent state called Khalistan and a number of militants began targeting officials and people opposed to their point of view whom they termed as agents of the Central Government . Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was the leader of Damdami Taksal, a 300-year old Sikh educational organisation, and in later years was called the leader of the separatist movement, even though during his life he never voiced support or opposition to the idea of Khalistan, he merely claimed that if the Harmandir Sahib was attacked, then and only then would Khalistan become a reality. The idea of Khalistan was something that was given prominence by the Govt. as it gave the impression that Sikhs were terrorists who were looking for trouble. Jarnail Singh, along with his supporters, sought shelter inside the Akal Takht in the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Fearing arrest, Bhindranwale with help from Major General Shabeg Singh, unofficial hero of 1971 war who had been implicated in false cases and even refused a trial because he had upset Indira Gandhi by refusing to arrest Jai Prakash Narain,took refuge in the heavily fortified temple. The Indian army finally assaulted the Golden Temple to take out the armed militants in June, 1984, when thousands of pilgrims had thronged the Temple for celebration of Shaheedi Gurpurab. However, Operation Bluestar was poorly planned and coordinated, leading to heavy military and civilian casualties. The loss of thousands of innocent lives was claimed as poor coordination by the Indira Gandhi Govt., but Sikhs the world over knew it was a deliberate attempt to "break the back of Sikhs" as thousands of bodies were dumped into municipal lorries and illegally cremated, before the foreign media was allowed to enter Amritsar. After Operation Blue Star, nearly all of the Akali leadership was thrown into jail and so were thousands of pilgrims. In the months to follow, Operation Woodrose, was launched by the army to capture the militants who had fled to the villages near Pakistan border and camped there.
As a result, the situation in Punjab deteriorated into anarchy with a rise in militancy. By the early 1990s, after many years of violence across Punjab, the militants' struggle for Khalistan had lost much of the sympathy gained after the assault on the Golden Temple and what little armed resistance remained was eliminated and forced underground. In the following years there was concern over alleged human rights abuses conducted by the central and state government against Sikhs, and many human rights organisations were not allowed in the Punjab at the time.[9]
Punjab's economy was acutely affected in the 1980s and early 1990s. However in recent times, there have been serious attempts by the Central Government to diminish resentment and strong feelings of Punjabis over the issue. Punjab's economy is now on the path to recovery. However, corruption and violence continues to hamper the state. In recent times, there is growing concern in the state about the immigration of labourers from other Indian states such as Orissa, eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Around 10% of Punjab's population is now made up of migrants from these states. The Sikhs are concerned that they will soon become a minority in the state, and allege that the unchecked immigration is encouraged by the government.[10] The pro-Khalistan organization Dal Khalsa (International) has blamed the problems like rising crime rate and unemployment on immigration. On the other hand the leaders like Tarsem Jodha have stated that immigration is vital to Punjab's economy since the landlords of Punjab have always relied on immigrants for labour.[10]

Punjabi Stars / GURDAS MAAN
« on: September 22, 2010, 02:36:10 AM »
Gurdas Maan (Punjabi: ਗੁਰਦਾਸ ਮਾਨ, gurdās mān) is an Indian singer, songwriter, choreographer, and actor. He was born on 4 January 1957 in Giddarbaha, Muktsar, Punjab, India. He gained national attention in India in 1980 with the song Dil Da Mamla Hai. Since then he has gone on to record over 27 albums and has written over 200 songs.

Early life

Gurdas Maan was born on 4th January, 1957 in a jatt, Sikh family of Punjabi[1][2] background in Giddarbaha Muktsar, Punjab (India). His parents are Tej Kaur and Sardar Gurdev Singh Maan. Maan was formally educated in Malout. After completing his education there, his parents enrolled him into a further education institute in Patiala. As a keen sports enthusiast Maan was fascinated by the National Institute of Sports in the city; this prompted him to join the N.I.S and gain a Masters Degree in Physical Education.
He belived in so many dehdhari BABAs.He took part in youth festivals organized by various universities and won several awards for his singing and acting, always supported by his friends. He competed in many athletic events and won medals including a bronze at the National Championship as well as achieving a black belt in judo.[2]


1980s
In one of his stage plays he performed a song which he had written himself called Dil Da Mamla Hai. The play was seen by a producer for Doordarshan Kendra Jalandhar, the producer who thought the song to have potential approached Maan with a proposition for a TV performance of the song to which Maan agreed. When the song was aired on 31 December 1980 it gained national attention and Gurdas Maan became a national figure. The success of the song attracted the attention of HMV who wanted to record and release the song. It was with HMV that Maan eventually released his debut album with a year later in 1981. When Maan began his career as a solo performer in India, the music industry was dominated by duet artists and Maan reportedly declined many offers to become part of a duet as he wished to perform and become a successful solo artist. Since his debut Maan mostly performed as a solo artist.
During his early career he also wrote and directed TV programs such as POP Time for the Doordarshan Network in Delhi.



1990s and 2000s
Gurdas Maan is often credited with raising Punjabi folk music from a regional level mostly in the Punjab to gain international recognition. His album Apna Punjab won Best Album at the 1998 Asian Pop and Media Awards held in Birmingham. Maan also won Best Song for the title track and Best International Artist the same year. In addition to these awards, Maan more recently won three music awards of Best Lyrics (Kudiye), Best Song (Heer), as well as Best Singer of the Year at the ETC Channel Punjabi Music Awards on 6 March 2005.

[edit]Awards & Honours
Gurdas Maan has received an honorary degree of Doctor of Music from the University of Wolverhampton on 7 Sept 2010.[3]
On other fronts, Gurdas Maan has also starred in blockbuster Bollywood films and has received numerous awards, including the Jury’s Award, presented to him by the President of India in 2005.
In 2009 he won "Best International Album" at the UK Asian Music Awards for Boot Polishan.[4]
[edit]Film
Gurdas Maan is best known as an actor for his performances in two films: Waris Shah-Ishq Da Waaris (2006), which was nominated as India's selection for the Academy Awards, and Shaheed-E-Mohabbat (1999), the film which tells the real-life story of Boota Singh.
Gurdas also appeared in the hit film Shaheed Udham Singh (2000), in which he played the role of Bhagat Singh, a Sikh man with no prejudices based on religion, caste or creed. As a singer Gurdas Maan has worked with music directors such as Laxmikant Pyarelal, Bappi Lahiri, Anu Malik, Nadeem Sharvan, Amar Haidipur, Charanjeet Ahuja, and Jaswant Bhanyra .
He also starred alongside Juhi Chawla in the epic Des Hoyaa Pardes (2004), an emotional film illustrating the tragedies faced by the people of Punjab in the 1980s. He adopted the role of a son of a well-respected Jatt (bilingual separtist) Gurdev Singh Somal. He falls in love with a high ranking police officer’s daughter. Before the wedding, the father is murdered by separatists. This tale soon twists in to the inevitable demise of Gurshaan (Gurdas Maan). This movie was based on actual events.
Aside from singing in Punjabi, he is fluent in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Haryanvi and Rajasthani. As an actor he has performed in Punjabi, Hindi and Tamil movies, but he is best known for his starring role in Waris Shah-Ishq Da Waaris, a depiction of the Punjabi poet Waris Shah during the creation of his epic poem Heer Ranjha, again co-starring Juhi Chawla and Divya Dutta. He also made a special appearance in Veer-Zaara with Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta.
He has also appeared in Ucha Dar Babe Nanak Da (1982), Mamla Garbar Hai (1984), Long Da Lishkara (1986), Qurbani Jatt Di (1990), Pratigya (1990), Roohani Taaqat (1991), Saali Adhi Ghar Waali (1992), Wanted: Gurdas Maan Dead or Alive (1994), Kachehri (1994), and Zindagi Khoobsoorat Hai (2002).



Personal life

Maan is married to Manjit and has one son Gurikk who has done his schooling from Yadavindra Public School, Patiala. He also studied at Eton College.[2]
In Karnal, Haryana, India on 20 January 2007 Maan was involved in a car accident in which his imported Range Rover SUV was hit and severely damaged by a truck near the town of Madhuban in Haryana. Maan escaped with minor injuries on his face, hands and chest. He was subsequently admitted to a Mohali hospital where he was examined by doctors who announced to the press that other than these minor injuries he was unharmed and fully fit.
This was the second car accident of two that Gurdas Maan was involved in. In both cases he escaped with minor injuries. The first accident was a head on collision between Maan's vehicle and a truck on 9 January 2001 at a village near Rupnagar, Punjab. In this accident Maan's driver was killed. Gurdas Maan later admitted that his driver asked him to wear his seat-belt minutes before the accident. Maan believes that if it had not been for his driver's advice, he would have been dead as well. Later he wrote and performed a song Baithi sade naal savari utter gayi dedicated to his driver, who was also his good friend.
During a radio interview Maan revealed to the host, Gagan Grewal, that he is an avid supporter of Manchester United football club.[5]
