WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH The Emperor knew Ram Rai well and when he went to him with a complaint, the Emperor at once agreed to help him and find out all about the case. Ram Rai claimed that he could perform miracles whereas Har Krishan was only a Child and could do nothing. He wanted the king to believe that if Har Krishan couldn't work miracles he could not be the true Guru. The Emperor decided to see the young Guru and to find out for himself about the claim to be Guru. The Guru was summoned to Delhi and was asked to perform some miracles. The young Guru reached Delhi with his mother and some Sikhs and was asked to stay with Raja Jai Singh and answe…

THE ROOM OF LIGHT PART II How is the mind to be controlled? Even when a Sikh offers his head to the Guru, he is not totally free from temptation. A Sikh is ever to remain under the instruction of the Guru. The mind is one such errant entity of our being that is ever rearing its ugly head to go against the discipline of the Guru. Not only is the mind tough to control for a Sikh, but is also equally challenging to keep it under control for a GurSikh, an Amritdhari. Amrit is important for a Sikh of the Guru. It is the perimeter fence that is created around the mind of the Sikh and restrains it from wandering. There is constant reminder through the visible 5Ks that the Sik…

Nitya Nand And Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Maharaj
by Guest Guest- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
One day, as Satguru Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji Maharaj was sitting in open court, a proud Brahman called Nitya Nand, a native of Batala, entered leaning on his staff. His object was to discuss religious matters with the Guru. The Guru respectfully received him. Nitya Nand produced the Purans and began to read them. When he had finished, a Hindu invited him to read the Garur Puran, a Sanskrit composition recited for dying Hindus. According to it the soul reaches its abode in the next world a year after the dissolution of the body. A Sikh called Sundar said, ' By the Guru's favour I can traverse that road in twelve hours.' Bhai Lala said, ' …

Guru Har Rai Saheb Ji And The Old Woman
by Guest Guest- 1 reply
- 811 views
One day during a ride, Guru Har Rai Saheb Ji halted and knocked at the door of a poor woman and said, "Good lady, I am very hungry, bring me the bread you have prepared." The woman, throbbing with joy, brought out some coarse bread which he partook on horseback, without washing his hands, and relished it very much. He then blessed the woman and cut off the shackles of her transmigration. Next day the Sikhs prepared dainty dishes with great attention to cleanliness and offered them to the Guru at the same hour. He laughed and said, "O Sikhs, I ate food from that woman's hands because she was holy. This food which you have prepared with attention to ancient ceremonial …

Bibi Nanaki Ji was the elder sister of Guru Nanak. She was born to Mehta Kalu Ji and Mata Tripta Ji. Her birth took place in 1464 at her mother’s village of Chahal, now in the Lahore district of Pakistan. This is explained in the Sooraj Parkash as follows: ihm igir mYnw ky Gir mwhI[ pwrbqI jnmI ijm AwhI[ BeI nwnkI sB gux KwnI[ mwno Bgq Dr dyh suhwnI[ (sUrj pRkwS) Five years later, in 1469, her brother, Guru Nanak Saheb came to this world in Talwandi. Bibi Nanaki Ji was the first to recognize that Guru Nanak was not an ordinary man. While Mehta Kalu Ji, Mata Tripta Ji, and others would get upset with Guru Nanak’s actions, Bibi Nanaki Ji would encourage her br…

Complaints To Akbar About Adi Granth Saheb
by Guest Guest- 0 replies
- 817 views
While the Adi Granth Saheb was being prepared, many people came with their own hymns and asked the Guru to add them into the Granth, The Guru had refused to accept them. One such person was Kanha. Kanha’s cousin Chandu was a minister for King Akbar and wanted to use him to launch a complaint against Guru Arjun Saheb. Kanha died before he actually reached Delhi. Many Brahmins were also unhappy with the new Granth because it spoke the truth. It told people to break away from meaningless rituals and to concentrate on the Almighty God. Brahmins did not like this because it affected their livelihood – people use to pay the Brahmins to perform these rituals. So the Brahmins …

THE ROOM OF LIGHT PART I Each soul, in this vast creation of the Lord Waheguru, comes to this world as a thirsty traveller. The thirst is so intrinsic that it often takes a lifetime to realise it before it can be quenched. No one is free from that thirst, no matter what one's beliefs or personal convictions. Sometime during our life on this earth, the presence of that thirst must be acknowledged. The trees thirst for rain, animals for food and man for Light - the Truth of their existence and of their Maker - that will free them from the bondage of an illusionary, probationary existence on this earth, and unite them once and for all with the Source of their existence. …
