Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Manjeet ‘Singh’ There was one police officer called Manjeet ‘Singh’ who used to come to Bhai Sahib’s house many times. When he walked into their home he used to shout at Bhai Kulwant Singh Ji and he used to ask Bhai Sahib where his son was. Bhai Kulwant Singh Ji used to plead with this officer, and he used to tell him that Bhai Ajmer Singh had done nothing wrong. Bhai Kulwant Singh Ji used to repeatedly tell this police officier that, “Bhai Ajmer Singh has left us to go and study and do seva, please don’t ruin his life”. But this shameless Police officer instead of listening to Bhai Sahib’s father began to hurl insults at him …

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh ਕਬੀਰ ਐਸੀ ਹੋਇ ਪਰੀ ਮਨ ਕੋ ਭਾਵਤੁ ਕੀਨੁ ॥ Kabīr aisī hoė parī man ko bhāvat kīn. Kabeer, it came to pass, that I did whatever I pleased. ਮਰਨੇ ਤੇ ਕਿਆ ਡਰਪਨਾ ਜਬ ਹਾਥਿ ਸਿਧਉਰਾ ਲੀਨ ॥੭੧॥ Marnė tė kiā darapnā jab hāth sidhaurā līn. Why should I be afraid of death? I have invited death for myself. ਪਰੀ = pass, ਮਨ = mind; ਭਾਵਤੁ = want; ਮਰਨੇ = death; ਡਰਪਨਾ = fear; ਹਾਥਿ = hand; ਸਿਧਉਰਾ = coconut with red powder thingie; ਲੀਨ = meet, united with. In this Salok Bhagat Kabeer Ji talks about the death that will take each and every one of us at some point. The translation is a wee bit dodgy. In the first line Bhagat Ji tells us that we've…

As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not.I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away."Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can st…

Kabir, Duniya ke Dokhe Mooya, Chaalat kul kee Kaan|| Tab kul kis kaa laajsi, Jab le dhareh masaan|| Duniya ke dokhe – The worry about what the world will think. Mooya – spiritually dead. Chaalat – Walks, follows. Kul – Family. Kaan – tradition, Chaalat Kul kee Kaan – Walks according to the traditions of family. Laajsi – embarrassed. Masaan – cremating grounds. Bhagat Kabir jee’s above stated salok is very significant and gives guidance to those of us who want to follow on the path of Sikhi but are discouraged out of thoughts like what will the world think or what will the family say, or how the family will be embarrassed if I keep Kesh etc. So many don't keep ke…

JATHEDAR ACHHAR SINGH JEE Jathedar Achhar Singh jee was born in 1893 and joined army when he was still in his teens. Jathedar jee was known for doing kirtan for hours and never getting tired of it. He never could get enough of it. He used to get up just after midnight and immerse himself in Naam and Gurbani paath. Jathedar jee got stationed in Burma and there he did great sewa of Panth by constructing many Gurdwaras. Due to his sangat, many came into the fold of Sikhi. In 1917, when he came back to Burma after vacationing in Punjab and doing sangat of gursikhs, he refused to wear his kirpan underneath his shirt. He started wearing it over. The officers knew the saintly …

Kabir Har ka Simran chhad ke, raat jagaavan jaaye|| Sarpan hoye kai autrai, jaaye apunay khaaye||107|| Women who can’t have children for whatever reason, get desperate and get stuck with evil tantriks who tell them to do weird spells and rituals to get children. One of the rituals taught to these gullible, uneducated women is that if they go to a well near Shamshaan Ghaat (cremation grounds) at midnight and get naked and take bath there; and cook roti and eat it in Shamshaan Ghaat they will get children. These women are further advised to do certain more rituals near a burning dead body and recite evil spells for two reasons; firstly to kill the children or relatives of…

The following very beautiful Dakhna of Siri Guru Arjun Dev jee caught my attention. The first pankiti was easy to understand but the second pankiti's first three words were not very clear. The pankiti is as follows: JO DUBANDO AAP, SO TARAAYE KIN KHEY || TARENDRO BHEE TAAR, NANAK, PIR SIYO RATIYAA|| Dubando - One who is drowning. Taraaye - Verb - to help swim. Kin Khey - Whom can he help swim across i.e. can't help swim. The first pankiti means, One who is himself drowning, how can he help swim anyone else? Tarendro - One who is a skilled swimmer Bhee - hee, only. Taar - Verb - to help swim. Pir - husband, Vaheguru. Ratiyaa - One who's mind is coloured in divin…

----------- Fareedhaa rottee maeree kaat(h) kee laavan maeree bhukh || jinaa khaadhhee choparree ghanae sehanigae dhukh ||28|| --------- Kaath means wood and laavan means sabjee or daal that we eat with roti. Chopree roti is that roti on which ghee or butter is applied. No one eats wooden roti. Some historians made up stories like Baba Farid jee used to hang a piece of wood around his neck and whenever he felt hungry he used to chew on that wood. This is absurd and not eating food is not acceptable in Gurmat. Baba jee is teaching us to be satisfied in whatever kind of food we can afford by earning honestly i.e. food that is bought using honest earnings is the only f…

All my life I had been reading "Peevat Mardan laag" and I heard everyone sing "Peevat Mardan laag". Most teekakaars have done the padd-chhed as "Peevat Mardan laag". I never really understood the pankiti but recently, I saw another padd-chhed of this pankiti and that too by none other than the great Vidvaan of our Panth - Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha. The padd-chhed he did of this pankiti is "Peevat Mard na laag" and the meanings he derived are that by drinking Amrit Rass, mard (pain, ragad, friction) does not occur. His comments about this are as follows: "Sampradayee gyanis do meaning of Mardan as Marda de - "Peevat Mardan laag" - that "Raam rass peenday hunn marda (Santa) du…

I feel like there is so much positive Vaheguru energy buzzing around our little naam.net village that each email I read or send is more than words and letters - a burst of love and energy travels from one gursikh to many others.... We're connected electronically , and spiritually as well. Like I look up at the sky and its the same sun and moon you see on the other side of the world. I breathe in the air and its the same ocean of air you live in. More than that I say Vaheguru ji and it's the same ocean of love you are all swimming in as well. …
