WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH This is an amazing sakhi about Satguru Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji, the King of Kings and the Saint of Saints and his beloved sikh, Bhai Gonda that the gyani was telling the sangat about last Sunday. A devout Sikh called Bhai Gonda abode with Satguru Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji Maharaj. He was a saint in thought, word and deed. Guru Ji was very much pleased with his sincere devotion and said, 'Bhai Gonda, go to Kabul, instruct Sikhs over there in the worship of the true name and preach the faith of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Feed holy men and pilgrims with the offerings that you recieve, and send what remains for the maintenance of my …

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH One day as Satguru Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji Maharaj was hunting he saw a wounded snake crawling with difficulty. It was tortured by worms which it tried to shake off by wriggling and shaking its body. Guru Ji not only put the animal out of its pain, but granted it salvation. The author of the Suraj Parkash states that its spirit in the form of a bright light was seen to issue from its body and soar to the heaven. The sikhs asked Guru Ji what the light was. Guru Ji replied, 'This serpent was in somewhat the same state as the python seen by my grandfather (Satguru Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji Maharaj) in Malwa. This serpent…

WITH ALL YOUR HEART By Harjit Singh Lakhan Great Guru, True Guru Har Krishan jee is the dispeller of sorrow. At the Gurdwara, a happy Baba jee with a shining face, told me how to ask for help.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Guru Nanak was the first Guru of the Sikhs. He was also the founder of the Sikh religion. He travelled far and wide. Once he visited Lahore. Lahore is a big town in Pakistan. A very rich man named Duni Chand lived there. He was so rich that he had seven million rupees. To show his riches, he had put seven flags on his house. On the day when the Guru arrived, he was giving a sharadh. A sharadh is a big feast which the Hindus offer to the Brahmans. They think that whatever they give to the Brahmans after the feast, reaches their dead forefathers in the next world. They prepare the best food and give away fine clothes and money …

Guru Nanak whilst on his many travels with his companion Mardana was walking through the depths of a dark jungle. Mardana was tired and asked his Guru,'Lord we have been marching through these wilds for many days. Do you not think that it is time to return to the civilised surroundings of a town or village where we may sleep in a bed with soft pillows?' Guru Nanak smiled at Mardana and said,'Even jungles can be more civilised than town and villages if the name of God is recited and remembered with all your heart.' After showing Mardana the inner realities of the jungle and the inner gifts that lie there it was now the turn of the towns and villages and to reveal what la…

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH i got a huge problem with anger, and I was looking at ways of getting rid of it. I came across this sakhi, which I have split into two parts. In the second part, Satguru Ji, gives advise on anger, and forgiveness :wub: Dhir Mal, the eldest son of Gurditta, seeing the offerings made to Satguru Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji Maharaj and the honours he received, became very jealous. One day while he was talking to Sihan, his masand, he told him about how much he hated Satguru Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji Maharaj. Sihan listening to Dhir Mal, came up with a plan to kill Satguru Ji, by shooting Satguru Ji. Sihan the masand, then left D…

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Sri Jap Ji Sahib Ji's Numbers Bhai Nihaal Singh (Sant Baba Harnam Singh Ji) was born in the year 1813 to Bhai Boorh Singh Ji and Mata Pradhan Kaur Ji. Those of you who have been lucky enough to have heard the life story of Bhai Nihaal Singh Ji will know what an amazing sikh of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj he was. One story, which sticks out for me, is when Bhai Nihaal Singh Ji requested Sant Baba Raam Singh Ji to teach him how to mediate. Sant Baba Raam Singh Ji said, ‘You should recite Sri Jap Ji Sahib Ji with single minded focus on its meanings; because Sri Jap Ji Sahib Ji is the essence of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Mahara…

Vaaheguroo jee kaa khalsaa, Vaaheguroo jee kee fateh! To start off this initiative we should begin with the bani that is the mool of Sri Guru Granth Saheb jee, Sri Japji Sahib. For those who have Japji Sahib memorized, this shouldn't be too hard. This has to be separate from your punj bania. By agreeing to the poll you're signing a contract with Guru Sahib to do an EXTRA Japji Sahib paath daily for the rest of the week. Starting, Next Monday, July 7, 2008 We can start slow and gradually build to do longer banis. If you have any other suggestions on what you would like to do, please post in the forum, and I'll post it as a collective effort for everyone. Again, bhul…
