  1. The Answering Of An Ardas

    in GURBANI | SAKHIAN | HISTORY

    Posted

    ranslated from “Ardas Shakti”, written by Sardar Raghbir Singh Bir. This story is pretty inspiring.

    ******BEGINNING OF TRANSLATION***********

    AUKHI GHAREE NAA DEKHAN DAYEE, APNA BIRAD SAMAALE||

    My daughter (S. Raghbir Singh jee's daughter) was expecting a baby. Since this was her first time, it was expected to be a painful delivery. Till nine months, my daughter’s health was normal but at end of the ninth months, her whole body swelled and became sore. Due to some other reasons too, the doctors did not think that this would be a normal delivery case.

    When I told the senior doctor that for while, everything in my home had been normal and that Vaheguru had never disappointed me, he started laughing, called the other doctors and said, “Look, Mr. Singh is sure that the baby will be delivered normally.” Other doctors too addressed me as Mr. Singh and told me that they too want the baby to be born by normal delivery but all circumstances are leading towards delivery through operation and that they have to be prepared for that.

    When the time for delivery came, my daughter was taken to the hospital. All day she stayed in great pain and around 11pm the doctor told me that next day around 4am – 5am the baby will be born and that I should go home now.

    My daughter had become very weak after enduring pain all day. She called me over and said to me that she does not have power to even do ardaas and that I should perform ardaas (prayer) for her. She said that she could sustain pain anymore and asked me to do ardaas to rid her of pain. I myself was in a state of shock and surprise over the events of the whole day. My daughter had been in pain all day and the doctors were suggesting that she would have to sustain pain all night as well. He condition was very serious at that time.

    After much persuasion by the doctors to leave for home, I came back home around 11pm, so that I may knock the door of Siri Guru Granth Sahib jee and do ardaas. Before going for home, I went to the labour room (where babies are delivered) and I did ardaas and recited the following shabad with full faith:

    BILAVAL MAHALLA 5 ||

    TAATEE VAAO NAA LAGAYEE, PARBRAHAM SHARNAAYEE||

    CHAUGIRD HAMARAI RAMKAAR, DUKH LAGAI NAA BHAAYEE|| 1 ||

    SATGUR POORA BHETIYA, JIN BANAT BANAAYEE||

    RAAM NAAM AUKHAD DIYA, EKA LIV LAAYEE|| RAHAO || 1 ||

    RAAKH LIYE TINN RAKHANHAAR, SABH BIYAADH MITAAYEE||

    KAHO NANAK KIRPA BHAYEE, PRABH BHAYE SAHAAYEE|| 2 ||

    I came home while my daughter and my wife stayed at the hospital.

    It took me 10 minutes to come home in my car. At 11:10pm I started doing ardaas with folded hands. My idea was that since I will not be able to sleep, I would spend the whole night doing ardaas and simran.

    Going through this ardaas what I experienced and what I saw, would be hard to explain but I will try my best to write for the benefit of readers of “Aatam-Science” (A Sikh spiritual magazine) what occurred during my ardaas:

    WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BEGINNING OF MY ARDAAS

    In the beginning of my ardaas I had a very scary thought. This thought and vision had been created as a result of my faithlessness or maybe it was created as a test for me. I am not sure of this. I think before every spiritual experience, Maaiya tries its best not to let one escape from its clutches. If the spiritual student stays strong and does not falter during such tests, then illusions like maaiya cannot do anything and the infinite power of Vaheguru protects the Sikh.

    In the beginning of the ardaas this thought came in my mind that first of all, Vaheguru in front of whom I am doing ardaas probably does not exist and even if he does exist, there is nothing he can do about it as the current situation of my daughter is the result of her bad karma from previous life. The inner voice addressed me saying that my daughter must have done some very bad karma in her previous life and for this she will have to suffer. The thoughts came to my mind along the lines that the condition of my daughter in fact is very serious and that what the doctors are saying is truth. I am not going to get anything positive out of this ardaas.

    Then the thought came to my mind that it was my duty to stick around my daughter who is at deathbed and instead of sticking around with her, I have run home to do ardaas like a coward. Instead of facing the problem, I am looking for refuge a futile thing like ardaas. After this I saw in my thoughts the dead body of my daughter and the thought came to my mind that it is futile to do ardaas for a dead body.

    I FIGHT BACK THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OF MY MIND

    I was very surprised to see such attacks of my mind and got worried. After I saw the dead body of my daughter in my thoughts I cried out, “NO NO NO, this cannot happen! My father Vaheguru is all mighty. My Vaheguru will not consider my daughter’s previous karma. I have come under his protection and he always keeps honour of the ones who come to him. The scene and the thoughts that I had seen are all illusion. My Vaheguru is million times powerful than Maaiya the illusion. My eyes can be deceived, as what they see may be wrong. My ears can be deceived, as what they listen to could be wrong. My daughter can be deceived by illusion of maaiya. The doctors can be deceived by maaiya but I am a Sikh of Guru Arjun Dev jee and I am a Khalsa of Guru Gobind Singh jee. I cannot be deceived (dhokha) by maiya. I know that if Vaheguru wants he can survive us without breathing. My daughter will surely get cured”.

    After saying out all this, I extended my hazooriya towards Vaheguru and said, “Sache Paatshah, please don’t look at my weaknesses. Cure my sweet daughter. Please prove the falsehood of maaiya”.

    When the above stated thoughts went across my mind, the previous scary thoughts vanished. My anxious and tired mind was filled with peace and fearlessness. In this new state of mind, I was saying:

    VAHEGURU JEE KAA KHALSA VAHEGURU JEE KEE FATEH||

    While sitting in this state of mind, I heard the phone ring. I picked up the phone and found out that my daughter had given birth to a baby at 11:43pm and that the birth was natural and not by operation. Doctors were surprised at this. My daughter and her child were doing just fine.

    After the phone call, I was filled with gratitude and started reciting the following pankiti of Gurbani:

    VAARIYA NAA JAAVAAN IKK BAAR||

    TU SADA SALAMAT NIRUNKAAR||

    ***********END OF THE TRANSLATION************

    This is a very good story that tells us a lot about Vaheguru and how to do ardaas. The key to ardaas is to not let negative thoughts come near and to let positive thoughts fill our mind. Faith is the key to the success of ardaas.

    Vaheguru listens to ardaas from anyone who comes to his sharan. Dropati whose honour Vaheguru kept was no mahapurakh. Gajj who was saved by Vaheguru did not have any bhagtee. What we need to do is submit to Vaheguru. He does not know how to say no to his bhagats. If we lead our lives according to the hukams of Guru Sahib and try to keep his rehit and Naam, we have nothing to worry about.

  9. Badal Daa Sikh Kaum Layee Bhumula Jogdaan

    in POLITICS | LIFESTYLE

    Posted

    This is a video of a former Army person who left the army in 1984 in response to Prakash Badal's call exposes badal and his kartootaan back in 2007 :

    http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

    Despite such warnings Sikhs kept sleeping and that is why Ludhiana goli kaand occured in 2009 as Sikhs were again under the impression that badal sarkaar is panthic .But it seems that most of Sikh kaum has woken up at last.In case some Sikh is still sleeping watch the above video.

    Badal Government is not an Religious Government. They r nothing less than RSS, BJP and other parties who always trying to find a way to kill sikhs.

    in GURBANI | SAKHIAN | HISTORY

    Posted

    Can you tell me what tym should we do Chandi di vaar. I think i have read in Sant Harnam Singh ji book that if u start Chandi di vaar after rehraas than it should continue all throughout the night.

    But what about the day time. What tym can we do this?

    to be honest you should only read this if you are tyar bar tyar singh, and not arrrm sangat. But.....never read in daytime always read amrtivela not when it is daylight, read as part of your nitnem, and have a glass of water near when you read it.

    THanks for the info. But what i suppose to do with the water once i am done with the path.

  19. Searching For The Book "prabh Milne Ka Chao"

    in GURBANI | SAKHIAN | HISTORY

    Posted

    Can u tell me the links to the audio or video files of this book.

    THX

    Sat Sri Akal Ji to everyone at SikhSangat.com,

    My name is Binder from the Netherlands. I am trying to gain much knowledge on Sikhism and the Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

    I'm actually very interested in learing more on meditation on the Naam. My father has shown me some very interesting prints (about the tenth gate and third eye) of this book called "Prabh Milne Ka Chao", but he doesn't have the book.

    I now know out that the author is Bhai Tewa Singh Tarmala. Unfortunately I can't find this book anywhere. I have found links to audio files or video files, but no book (only summaries on http://www.pmkc.co.uk). Apparently there are 6 volumes...

    My father is also very interested in obtaining this book. I was hoping somebody here could help me find it.

    If you have any other recommendations of books on this subject, please do tell.

    Thanks in advance smile.gif
