There was a Bhagat from Lahore called Chajju. One day at his door two labourers were stood outside. At the time it was raining. Bhagat Chajju looked at the labourers and asked why they were stood outside his door. They looked at Bhagatji and said that they work for a living outdoors doing labour. Their condition was such that when they didn't work, they didn't eat. They explained to Bhagatji that when it rains they don't find much work. As a consequence they had come to Bhagat Chajjuji's door in the hope of finding some work.
Bhagatji invited them into his house to offer them work . He said not only will I feed you - sugar and koi - but I will pay you double your usual rate. Bhagatji offered 8 annas instead of the 4 annas the labourers were usually paid for a days work.
Bhagatji then sat the two labourers down, gave them malas and said sit down and doing abhiyaas of Raam. At the end of the day Bhagatji fed the labourers and paid them 8 annas. He then told them come here daily and partake in this work and I will continue to pay and feed you in this way.
The labourers looked at Bhagat Chajjuji and said this work is too difficult to do. We would rather lift and break stones than do hard manual labour than this work...

One time some Pandits came to Sachkhand Sri Anandpur Sahib Ji and stood before Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. They said to Maharaj that Guruji you have given everything to the Khalsa, you have given them all the seva, you do their pooja and their satkaar.
Khalsa mero roop hai khaas.
The Khalsa is my complete image
Khalse maih hau karo nivaas.
I dwell in the khalsa
Khalsa mero mukh hai ang-aa.
Khalsa is my chief organ
Khalse ke hau sadh sadh sang-aa.
I am always with the khalsa
Khalsa mero mitr sakhaa-ee
Khalsa is my closest friend
Khalsa maat pitaa sukhdaa-ee
Khalsa is my mother, father & source of all comforts.
Khalsa meri jaat ar pat.
Khalsa is my caste & creed.
Khalsa sau maa kau utapat.
My creation is through the khalsa
Khalsa mero bhavan bhand-aa-raa.
I dwell in the khalsa who is a storehouse of all my requirements.
Khalse kar mero satk-aa-raa.
I am honoured because of the khalsa.
Khalsa mero pind par-aan.
Khalsa is my body & breath.
Khalsa meri jaan ki jaan.
Khalsa is my life & soul
Khalsa mera satgur poor-aa
Khalsa is my full-fledged Guru.
Khalsa mera sajan soor-aa.
Khalsa is my brave friend.
Khalsa mero budh ar giaan.
Khalsa is my wisdom & knowledge.
Khalse ka hau dhar-au dhiaan.
I always contemplate the khalsa prayerfully
Upmaa khalsae jaath na kahi
Eulogy of the khalsa is beyond me.
Jihv-aa ek paar nah lahi.
I cannot fathom full praise of the khalsa with one tongue.
Ya mai ranch na mithe-aa bhaakh-ee.
I certify that I have not mis-stated anything in the foregoing.
Paarbrahm gur Nanak saak-ee.
God & Guru Nanak are my witnesses to endorse the foregoing truth.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Sarb Loh Granth, (MS), 519-526.
Be merciful and tell us what have you left for us?
Maharaj smiled and gave the Pandits an asthan. He then told them to sit down and to do bhagti, to do abhiyaas of Sri Gurmantar Sahib Ji for eight hours. In return for this seva Maharaj said he would give the Pandits 15-15 mohars. Hearing the Bachan the Pandits were full of happiness. Whilst Maharaj stood before the Pandits they continued to do abhiyaas. As soon as Maharaj physically left that place the Pandits would stop and began to talk to one another.
Maharaj being Antarjami told Bhai Alam Singh Ji to go and watch over the Pandits and to not allow them to talk to one another. Bhai Alam Singh Ji did this and for over 8 hours he stood watch. During this time the Pandits did the jaap. At the end of the 8 hours Maharaj came with 15 mohars and gave them to the Pandits. He then said stay here, do abhiyaas and everyday I will give you 15 mohars.
The Pandits listened to this and said to Guru Sahib that no this seva is too difficult - we can't do it. In this way they left Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji and went back to Kanshi from where they had come from.

One time Sant Baba Bishan Singh Ji, the 10th jathedhar of Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Damdami Taksal decided to visit Amritsar and in particular Sant Baba Shaam Singh Ji.
Sant Baba Shaam Singh Ji was the kirtani of Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji who had spent over 90 years doing seva with his Sarandha.
Sant Baba Bishan Singh Ji and the jatha had done darshan at Harmandir Sahib Ji and then began to make their way to the asthan of Santji. As they reached there they found an old singh cleaning the sewer/drain. They asked where Sant Baba Shaam Singh Ji was and were advised by the old Gursikh to go inside the asthan and sit down and Santji would be with them soon.
The old Gursikh then did Panj ishnaan and went and sat in front of them. When he did this he was asked again that they wished to have darshan of Sant Baba Shaam Singh Ji - the old Gursikh relied that the vessel sat before them was Sant Baba Shaam Singh Ji.
Waheguruji...
May Maharaj bless with with such humility.

Very interesting topic. The original question "When did your family become Sikhs?" seems to make logical sense to all.
It begs the question: "What did your family do to become Sikhs?" which then raises the question "Is your family/are you Sikh today?"
Do we suddenly apply different criteria to becoming/being Sikh today?
Wahegurujikakhalsawahegurujikifateh,
Excellent point Budda Singh Ji.

One time the sangat at Bengal did a benti to Sant Baba Sundar Singh Ji Bhindranwale to come over there and do parchar of this beautiful marg of Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. A Gurmat Smagam was held in Calcutta, West Bengal. A lot of sangat had gathered there to listen to the Gurmat Parchar of Mahapursh.
Amongst the sangat there was a tantric Yogi. He had seen the huge crowds which had gathered and jealousy entered his mind. He began to think to himself that I have all the tantric powers in my hands. If I was to utter a spell and place it on this Mahapursh then all these people/sangat will begin to follow me.
In this way as Santji was walking past the tantric Yogi, the yogi began to utter a spell and threw a copper wire at Santji. At the time the spell was uttered/thrown Santji was uttering Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji. As the pavan pavitar amrit bani of Maharaj was being uttered the spell bounced off Santji and fell upon the Yogi.
Those who were present began to hear the Yogi scream in pain as his body began to burn. Just then Santji moved towards the Yogi and with his hand touched the Yogi and blessed him. As soon as Santji did this all the Yogi's pain and suffering ended and he was brought to the plane of peace.
From that day everytime Santji used to go past that place the tantric yogi would stand up with his hands folded and head bowed towards Santji. One day some Singhs asked Santji why this Yogi who had never got up before or shown any respect to Santji had all of a sudden changed. Santji smiled and said this is the kirpa of Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.
The Singhs began to say Santji you are keeping something from us, please do kirpa. Santji then began to explain what had happened. He said that this Yogi had made thousands follow him through his spells and intended to do the same to Santji and the sikh sangat. But he didn't know that Santji was one who recited Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji 24 hours a day. If someone tries to place a spell on one who recites Sri Mool Mantar Sahib it is like trying to throw something up into the sky - it's only going to come back in one direction.
Akho Satnaam Sri Waheguru.
Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.
Guru Sahib Kirpa Karo especially in this day and age where many people try to use spells to take away our brothers and sisters.

Came across these videos some time ago.
Mahapursh sat in their own mauj listening to Dhur Ki Bani...is there anything more beautiful?
For those of you who don't know Sant Baba Joginder Singh Ji did seva at Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib for over 40 years - for 12 of these he didn't utter a single word and instead was engrossed in naam abhiyaas.

Jagtar Singh Ji are these conferences ever recorded by the federation? If so where can I get hold of them? Would really like to see what was discussed in detail and by who.

Good to see lots of señor speilbergolike Singhs.
I agree we don't need to spend lots of maya on a high octane all-action film to depict the events of the sikh genocide. This can and has been achieved very successfully by others through good acting, dialogues and camera work.
Btw I never appreciated acting until I saw the film Act of Valor - they chose to use real navy seals as opposed to actors. Shockingly bad - I never walk out of the cinema but that day was the closest I've come.

Wahegurujikakhalsawahegurujikifateh,
Of course it's against rehat. Can you imagine a Gursikh working at a barbers shop or a brothel?
You have the whole summer off. Looking for a job is all well and good but you have all your life to work and earn maya. Why don't you spend your summer at the Gurudwara Sahib doing seva, or do a 40 day jaap of Sri Gurmantar Sahib Ji/Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji, learn something about our amazing history, philosophy and theology.

How does one go about bringing change in the management of the Gurudwara Sahib? Do we have to enter the 'committee' and influence them in that way or do we try and stand up as a sangat and bring change as the morchas did in the early 1920s?
I recently attended an election at a gurudwara sahib - ending up leaving fairly promptly but was later told by one of the Singhs that the votes actually outnumbered the sangat gathered there!?!
The saddest thing I find is that there is never any objectives or goals stated at these meetings. Therefore when the next election is held you can never see if the committee achieved their targets etc.
How on earth can any organisation function in this way?

If you wanted to 'setup' a darbar sahib at home - essentially a room for pothi sahibs/to do abhiyaas/kirtan/simran - how would one go about doing this? What things would you need? Where can you get these from?

Really love your posts neo veerji - thank you once again.
So essentially centres of learning...Gurmat maryada, dharm vidiya, brahmgyan, shaster vidiya, jang vidiya, raajneeti...
How many of us can honestly say our local Gurudwaras are like this?
Where/when did things go wrong?

What do you think the role of the Dharamsala/Gurudwara Sahib is?
What was the intended role as per puratan literature?
What changes can we make as individuals to allow it to achieve these goals?

Armies led by Akaali Phoola Singh Ji or Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa Ji were simply undefeatable.
Those mahaan generals who led from the very front not only wielded the sarbloh sword but also the most potent weapon of all - the word of Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.

Wahegurujikakhalsawahegurujikifateh,
Thanks tuhintuhin veerji. Those are very good topics that will definitely need to be covered.
You make a very important point regarding guiding children toward the right set of resources - books/websites/articles. These will need to be vetted for content and then a suitable list of recommended resources provided to the children.
One problem I've found is that children are too shy to let you know what they want to cover - so perhaps an anonymous box at each class would be a good idea.
To help reinforce learning I think it would be good to have some display boards in the Gurudwara Sahib that would host a monthly exhibition ( chatanga's idea) on a particular topic/historical event that has been prepared by the sikhi class children. That would allow not only the sangat to benefit but would also encourage the children to take a more active role in educating themselves becoming parcharaks in their own right.

In addition to the sangat that have died, four saroops of Satguri Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj have been washed away.
Waheguruji. No doubt Maharaj has placed himself in the jaal and saved countless others...

Excellent suggestions - please keep them coming.
MKD89, thanks for the link. The comics look great and I will be placing an order for all 9.
Leciestersikhs - the year 1 resources and lesson plan was just what I was looking for. Do you have year 2's resources as well? I think having a central resource like this is a great idea and would benefit the many sikhi/punjabi classes across the globe. Just think how this could grow if everyone contributed their content?
We were also thinking of recording video/audio of the classes to place online for children and their parents to go through again so that key points could be revisited and emphasised.
Most rooms inside the Gurudwara Sahib have projector screens, besides wifi so will definitely be looking to use PPT as much as possible.
