When the guru's word abides with one's soul, nobody can take that away from them, it is indestructable. It has been e vident all throughout the short Sikh history. Just ask the great Sikh martyrs Bhai Satidass Ji, Bhai Dayal Dass Ji, Bhai Mani Singh Ji, Bhai Subeg Singh Ji, Bhai Shahbaz Singh Ji, Guru Gobind Singh Ji's four sons, and hundreds of Sikh women who had their childrens' body parts tied around their necks but they did not convert to Islam because they had the Naam with their 'saas saas' with each and every breath. That was just a few. All the hukumats of this world tried their best to eliminate the Sikhs from the face of this earth but to no avail. It is mission impossible because Truth cannot be destroyed
  2. Waheguruji ka Khalsa Waheguruji ki fateh The Sikh Idenity GURU GOBIND SINGH ON VAISAKHI of 1699 established the Khalsa brotherhood. As integral to the moral discipline he ordained that all his Sikhs keep unshorn hair. Essentially he created a casteless and classless society and assigned the title ‘Singh’ to all males, meaning lions and ‘Kaur’ meaning princess to females. After the partition of India in 1947 and more so after the genocide of the Sikhs in 1984, some disturbing trends among the Sikhs need serious thinking by our intlligentsia, religious and political leaders as how to arrest and counteract them without any further loss of time. The following trends need to be urgently addressed: 1.A large number of Sikhs have started trimming their beards. Some trim so badly that they give a poor image of a Sikh. Usually sons of such Sikhs who indulge in trimming their beards do the same or simply shave off. We often see a father or a grandfather holding a clean shaven son or a grandson. Trimming of long hair by the Sikh girls has also become fashionable. The result is, that it is not uncommon to see a Sikh and his wife with bob hair. 2.Many Sikhs now feel shy to use ‘Singh’ or ‘Kaur’ in their names. You come across names like Harjit Soni, Birinder Kohli, Gurdeep Gill, and so on, without using ‘Singh’ or ‘Kaur’. It appears that perhaps they want to hide their Sikh identity. This defeats the very purpose and the spirit in which Khalsa was created as one brotherhood. 3.All over the world, people converse in their mother tongue. In India also, Marathis, Bengalis, Tamils, Gujaratis, etc. speak in their mother tongue among themselves, including their children whether they are living in their own state or any other state in India or out of India. Surprisingly, only Punjabis, both Sikhs and Hindus, who consider themselves “modern†speak Hindi with their children. They falsely consider it more refined than Punjabi. Even many grown ups and well-to-do Punjabi Sikhs converse in Hindi although they can speak in Punjabi as well. This is indeed very strange. Those who consider themselves elite or upper class prefer to speak in English. This trend is primarily due to the fact that Punjabi Hindus disowned Punjabi and declared Hindi as their mother tongue. Since well-to-do Hindus converse in Hindi with their children and quite often, among themselves, Punjabi Sikhs thought it to be more ‘fashionable’ to converse in Hindi and elite Sikhs in English. This complex from the minds of the Sikh need to be removed, especially because Punjabi Muslims also declared Urdu as their mother tongue. So Punjabi is now left to be the mother tongue of the Punjabi Sikhs only. If Sikhs don’t take a note of this, then, in few years time, they may be speaking only Hindi which will become their mother tongue. 4.Young Sikh boys wear a ‘patka’ to cover their hair. It is o.k. till they are 13-14 years old. Thereafter they should start wearing a turban especially from class 9th onwards if not earlier. Those who don’t start wearing turban at this stage, continue to wear a ‘patka’ not only till they finish school, but also when they go to the university, which does not give proper image of a Sikh. Some of our sportsmen are in a ‘patka’ even while giving interviews for TV coverage or to the press or in ads. Wearing of ‘patka’ while playing games is ok but not in social, official or other public functions and occasions. Quite a few Sikhs are seen in a ‘patka’ in TV serials, which is not correct. 5.Although over 50 years have passed since independence, not a single good Punjabi movie has been made. This is inspite of the fact that a large number of actors and producers are Punjabis. Sikhs are occasionally shown in Hindi movies, but more so as jokers, taxi drivers, doormen at five star hotels, and so on. Moreover, they are not shown in proper Sikh form. Their beards don’t look normal and natural and they wear funny type of turbans. During the course of the movie, a Sikh character alternates with trimmed beard and a turban, and then without a turban and shorn hair on the head. This is highly objectionable. They are never shown in proper respectable Sikh form. Since Punjabi Hindus disown Punjabi as their language, the Sikhs have to seriously think of producing some good Punjabi movies based on novels, plays and stories by well known authors. Sikh characters in respectable and proper Sikh form should be heroes and heroines. If Hindi movies revolving around a Muslim family with a Muslim hero can be made, then why not around a Sikh family with Sikh youth as a hero. 6.Well known Sikhs in their respective fields who get media coverage need to take special care about their form and behavior as they are an example for the younger generation to emulate. 7.I hope my suggestions will be taken seriously by the Sikhs, both in India and abroad, and will take immediate steps to take remedial measures.

  8. Experiences With Bhai Sahib Randheer Singh jee By Bibi Harsharan Kaur & Principal Gurmukh Singh jee Atam Rang, July 1999 Translated by Admin www.tapoban.org First Encounter We had heard about the Gurmat lifestyle of most respected father, Bhai Sahib Bhai Randheer Singh jee in Srinagar. We had heard of his name before and that he had spent 16 years in prison. We had heard about him being a patriot and about his role in the Gurdvara Rakab Ganj struggle, but it was in Srinagar where we first heard about his life as a devotee at the feet of the Guru. We heard about him this way: there were a brother and sister who were detached from worldly life. They remained in Satsang. They used to discuss which path would let them be accepted at the door of the Satguru and thus be ferried across the world-ocean. They used to go to Satsang, read BaaNee and eventually, they came to the realisation that one of them was soon to depart. They decided that whoever left first, would come back and tell the other what to do. By Akaal Purakh's will, the sister passed away first. As per the promise, her soul returned to meet her brother and said "The path upon which we were travelling is the right one, but it's most important to receive Amrit and doing Satsang while keeping Rehit. I'll tell you about some of the Guru's beloved Satsangees and you should certainly go see them." She encouraged her brother to go to Narangvaal and to remain on the Gursikhi path while reciting naam and staying in Satsangat. The brother heard all this and told his frien ds. We also heard all this and coincidentally, we were coming upon a vacation. We arrived at the Poh Suptamee at Narangvaal and for the first time heard a raN sabaaiee keertan. We heard it, and the effect was such that our relationship was forever established (with this Jatha). This was our first meeting with Bhai Sahib. Meeting Bhai Sahib It was our second or third vacation and we were staying in Ludhiana. We came and found out that Bhai Sahib was not longer in Narangvaal but in Ludhiana's Model Town. He was living in house #79. We were very excited to go meet him. This all happened around 1951. We weren't amritdhaaree, and my husband (Col. Daljeet Singh jee) wasn't even keshdhaaree. However we definitely loved going to keertans. So, my husband alone went to Model Town Gurdvara to enquire about Bhai Sahib. It was a Sunday and keertan was taking place. My husband heard the keertan and after the bhog, he followed Bhai Sahib on foot. Bhai Sahib was in the lead and the other Singhs walked to house #79. My husband also entered the house and asked, to see Bhai Sahib. In response one carefree-type Singh said "not now, Bhai Sahib is resting." But Col. Daljeet Singh was called in from the inside. When Col. Daljeet Singh went in, he was a man who had been without kesh for 17 years and was wearing a borrowed reddish dastaar which he didn't even know how to tie properly. Little hair were coming out of the dastaar and his beard was trimmed. But as soon as he entered, Bhai Sahib sat him down with love and asked how he was. My husband's heart was won over. Col. Daljeet Singh asked "if I have your permission, may I come have your darshan in the future?" Bhai Sahib replied sweetly, "Oh, you should certainly come! I will have YOUR darshan. And be sure to bring your wife as well." Col. Sahib returned home and there was a unique happiness on his face, and he was thinking "Bhai Sahib has given so much love to a patit like me, and asked me to be sure to come again. Imagine that he said to me, 'I'll happily have your darshan too.'" That divinely coloured soul, sent from the Guru's door could see the future of this lost person, and knew the Guru was about to take him in, and knew it was his duty to bring this lost one to the Guru's door. In Delhi After some time, we went to Delhi. One day I was in the Chandnee Chounk Bazzar buying some winter items when at the Red Fort bus stand I saw a bust stop and out came some women with dastaars. I saw this and was astounded. I wondered where they had come from. Usually no one like this could be seen. I saw those Gurmukhi forms and was internally drawn towards them. I asked, "Who are you? Where do you live?" They replied "We are from Ludhiana, and we're here because of the yearly Delhi Dussehra Smaagam. Today, the keertan will be at the PahaaR Ganj Gurdvara and tomorrow will be the RaN Sabaaiee at Bangla Sahib." I quickly took a taxi home and asked my husband to quickly get ready and take me to the PahaaR Ganj Gurdvara. He agreed. When we arrived in the Sangat, before us we saw Bapoo Jee (Bhai Sahib Randheer Singh) with both his arms on a bairaagaN, clanging his KaRas, lost in the Shabad "Gobind mun mohiaa jeeo. Santan kai parsaad agaadh kanthay lag sohiaa jeeo." The women I had seen at the Red Fort were the same ones doing keertan. Those were Bibi Updaysh Kaur and Gurcharan Kaur. That scene and that current immersed into me. The world was forgotten. What I saw before me cannot be described. The next day we arrived at the raN sabaiee and the whole night, amrit rained down. This was beyond words or descriptions. Then I don't know where those souls went (f rom the smaagam). I searched for them, but couldn't find them. Meeting Chaanee Jee One day my husband came home and said that he had found a Singh from the Jatha. He was living in Delhi and did keertan as well. The next day he brought the Singh with him. He seemed like he was from another world. He spoke in a different way too. And what he said was different too. He would eat nothing but I noticed a sense of happiness and care-freeness from him. This was our first meeting with Singhs. That Singh was Chaanee Jee. His full name is Bhai Preetam Singh but Bhai Sahib used to call him Chaanee jee out of love. In keertans, he would play the tabla. At that time, he was a Sarblohi Singh. Becoming Amritdhaaree We began to find out about keertan programs and began to go to the Sunday keertans. We found Satsangat. My husband began to keep his kesh and wear a dastaar. The Sangat of Gursikhs and their loving ways made our lives beautiful and sweet. One day, Col. Piara Singh jee came to Delhi to visit his son Major Inderjeet Singh. Due to some business regarding his son, he came to our house. Meeting him at that time made our desire to receive amrit very intense. Then Poh Sudee Suptmee came and we went to Ludhiana. We went to meet Bapoo jee and he lovingly met us. "Oh Bhai! You are very fortunate! Your wife is also very fortunate! Even the Bibi's mother is fortunate!" With his amrit-filled glance, he took us lowly, worldly ones, stuck and covered in the mud of maya and washed us with the rain of praise. He said, "Take Amrit (amrit chakk lo)." My husband replied, "My wife is hesitant to wear a dastaar." Bhai Sahib then said, "She will certainly take amrit." Those words became true. Satguru jee gave us the gift of Amrit. Our desire to see Bhai Sahib increased. After short intervals, we'd come to< br>Ludhiana to see him, and by doing so, our souls would blossom. If any question arose when meeting him, he would answer it without us even asking. He was really the knower of the heart, and could guess what was within it. One day Bhai Sahib asked "Do you know any shabads?" I said, "Jee, I know one." "Fine, let's hear it." Jaan Sukhaalaa jee went and got the joRee. I sang the shabad "Keeo shingaar milan kay taaee(n). Har na milay jagjeevan gosaaee(n)." Hearing the Shabad, Bhai Sahib was very happy. He gave me so much love. With this shabad, our relationship was made even closer. Meeting a 'Sant' One day two young, unknowing girls from Bhai Sahib's family along with a friend went to see a Sant's smaagam at a dera. There, there was a huge crowd. People were rushing to see the Sant. The sevaadaars would take some select people near the Sant, and the rest of the people stood waiting in the sun. These two bibis with their dastaars could be seen from far away. The Sant called them close and said "Some people are very fundamentalist..." etc. He was saying all this because the bibis hadn't bowed before the Sant, and only said Fateh. So they returned after hearing a lot from the Sant. Because they had gone with their friend without taking permission, they were afraid. One said "Now Bapoo jee will scold us." The other then said "We won't tell him." When they returned, no one knew they had gone to the Dera. Then one Singh came and said that Bhai Sahib was summoning the two bibis. We understood, but we couldn't believe he knew. When we went inside Bhai Sahib said, "Have you gotten the darshan of the Saadh? Did you hear the slander of Gursikhs? What did you not have that you went there to get? Bibi! Satguru jee has given you birth in the house of Gursi khs, and so you are fortunate. You received amrit in your mouths, which has no equal. He has given you the gift of Naam and a place in the Sangat. Even more blessings were given and you were given the gift of keertan. What did you want that you went there?" We asked for forgiveness and said "Bapoo jee, we just went to see what happens there. We've made a mistake. We also thought that you wouldn't know and no one would know. We've made a big mistake. Forgive us. " Bhai Sahib didn't say any of this in front of anyone and scolded us in private. Blessings of Keertan One day Bhai Sahib called us and said "Bibi! The committee of Gurdvara Aalamgeer has printed their yearly Smaagam posters without asking us and written that The Jatha will do the three hour Amrit Vela Aasaa dee Vaar and then open keertan too, until the dhaadees begin." I was worried. Bibi Gurdeesh Kaur had gone to her in-laws and she was our main keertanee. We said, "Baapoo jee, we can't do it. Gurdeesh Kaur isn't here. There will be a big gathering of sangat there." Bhai Sahib then said, "What are you going to do? Satguru jee is going to do it. You just go." With Bibi Daler Kaur, the two of us and a Singh on the joRee, we left. It was as if someone had given us something magical to drink. We only became conscious after the final chhakaa. When we got up and came out, it was as if our feet weren't touching the ground, just floating on it. We went home and went straight to Bhai Sahib. He was strolling outside. He saw us and began to laugh. He said "My pair of precious jewels did so well!" We said "But you were with us though..." He gave us so much love and then said "Ask for what you want." What could we ask for? We couldn't speak. Our insides were asking for that same awareness th at he experienced. Vahiguru, Vahiguru! If we write this story, it'll never end. This all took place around 1957-58. It's true that Guru Sahib himself takes the seva of keertan from us. That day the two of us did keertan seva with love and then Satguru jee gave us countless blessings. 1965 The 1965 war had started. We were at Ferozepur Cantonment. Without warning, the army crossed the Satluj and all the houses and barracks emptied around us. The whole area was silent and empty. No one could come to take the children from the house at that time. The whole area was deserted, the streets empty, and all buildings uninhabited. Night fell. No light could be seen for miles. At a distance was a church, nothing else. Anyone could break the windows of those big bungalows and easily enter. In our house were three girls and six-month-old baby. No other servants or caretakers. All Quarters were empty around us. That was a terrifying night. I fell unconscious with fright. Then Bapoo jee came and stood before me. He said, "Get up Bibi! Why are you afraid? I'm here now. The Guru is with you. Nothing can happen to you. Get up and recite the shabad. He sang the shabad with me "Bhairo(n) Mahulla 5. Oothat sukheeaa baaithat sukheeaa..." He sang this entire shabad. I got up and took the Amrit Keertan Pothee and read this shabad over and over. All my fears went away. Morning came and someone came to get us and I happily went to my own home. Remember that Bhai Sahib had left us in 1961. This event happened in 1965. Stories from Pr. Gurmukh Singh jee: Bibi Bhupinder Kaur jee's Keertan This is a story of Bibi Bhupinder Kaur jee, wife of Bhai Soorat Singh Pooran jee. I heard this story from them and wrote it down so our keertanee Singhs and Bibis can learn something from it. Bibi jee had learnt to do keertan in classical raags at a very young age. Bibi jee used to go to Narangvaal for the Poh Sudee Satvee(n) gupurab to celebrate the arrival of Dashmesh pita jee. She tells us that once she prepared 25 new shaabads for the smaagam so that they could be done at four or five turns at keertan. But what happened was the opposite. When she arrived at Narangvaal, Sodar was concluding and upon arriving, Bhai Sahib called her to the stage and asked her to sing keertan. At that deevaan after Sodar, one by one, all 25 shabads were sung and Bhai Sahib was very happy. He said "sing more!" But he knew that I had no other shabads prepared. He then said.."That's it? You're empty? You came so full. Well, prepare more for the morning." Bibi Bhupinder Kaur thought to herself "all the shabads I had prepared, Bhai Sahib has heard in the first sitting. How will I do 5 more divaans? But know this as truth that the bliss I got after becoming empty at that smaagam is one of my unforgettable memories. I don't know how Guru Sahib first emptied me and then with his own blessings made me do keertan. We think that WE do keertan. Satguru jee himself comes within us and takes this seva. It's like "Nanak jant vajaaiyaa vaajai" The above story teaches us that Satugur jee himself blesses us and makes us do keertan. By becoming "empty" and then doing keertan while attached to the feet of the Guru, we get a totally different type of enjoyment. The ones who listen to keertan always remain in enjoyment if they listen to keertan with their consciousness but Keertanees are always either "full" (with new shabads) or "empty". Keertan is a gift, not an art. Bhai Santa Singh & Bhai Sahib Bhai Santa Singh (IAS Rtd.) told me this story. At 79 Modelt Town Ludhiana, he and Bhai Bava Singh used to help bathe Bhai Sahib at Amrit Vela (1.30AM-2AM). Then Bhai Bava Singh began to stay at Kumarhatti to do seva in the Gurdvara there, and then Bhai Santa Singh began to do this seva alone. Bhai Santa Singh tells us, "One day while helping Bhai Sahib bathe, a thought entered my mind that 'if there was no mighty Singh like me to do this seva here, then no one would've been able to lift Bhai Sahib's big frame, and Bhai Sahib wouldn't have been able to bathe.' At that time, Bhai Sahib was sitting on a wooden stool. After he bathed, I used to put my arms underneath his, and raise him with my strength. That day, when the thought was in my head, I don't know how Bhai Sahib found out about it. When I was raising him from under his arms that day, it felt as if Bhai Sahib was heavier. I tried with even more strength than usual that day but I couldn't lift Bhai Sahib. Then, in pride of my youthfulness, I gave it all my strength, but Bhai Sahib didn't budge. Bhai Sahib kept laughing and saying "Oi Santa Singh! What's happened to you today? Why aren't you lifting and standing me up?" I understood what he was saying and said in a crying voice "Bapoo jee, today I'm powerless. You yourself, please stand up." Then, with just a little bit of my effort, Bhai Sahib himself stood up. Everything was hidden in his laughter. He said nothing more to me. This hint was enough for me to understand that what pride could I have over my strength? This strength was all Akaal's gift and this seva was also his gift. Man too(n) mut maaN karaih(n) jih hou(n) kicch jaaNdaa, Gurmukh nimaaNaa hoho. (panna 441) Jo jaanai mai jobanvant.

  9. Hello there dear one, I know that this is rather a long message but believe me it will move you as it did me. It touched my soul. This sort of messages are such beautiful reminders to us about how important we are to GOD and no matter what HE always loves us and hears our prayers. Have a wonderful blessed day and God bless. Satwant Kaur Faults are thick where love is thin. RELIGION IS LIKE THE BANANA SKIN, AND SPIRITUALITY IS THE BANANA. PEOPLE HAVE THROWN AWAY THE BANANA AND ARE HOLDING ON TO THE SKIN. God is always ever ready for us but are we ready for Him? God is always ever ready and serious in giving us anything He thinks is good for us, but are we taking Him serious? We celebrate our success with family and friends, how often have we celebrated our success and happiness with Him? We go to Him often only when we are troubled, telling Him all our problems and asking Him for guidance and asking Him for His Blessings. We go to Him when we have failures and asking Him to help. We don't celebrate our failures with Him either. We are treating Him like a garbage bin and yet He still loves us so dearly. We often believe we should pay our respect to God only in religious places and forgetting that God is Omnipresent and He will receive us everywhere. We believe God is ONE and He is our Creator, yet we always identify so much among ourselves and there's where big and small differences arise. We agree that God is our Creator and He creates all of us, yet we insult each other and judge on each other, our nationality, our race, our colour, our gender, our status and religion, etc. We forgotten that when we are angry with each other and feel unhappy with each other, we are angry and unhappy with the Creator. We often said, "we", does that not tell us that we = ONE? We are ONE and yet everyday we are thinking of I, I, I, and You, You, You and what about me, me, me ??? We put forward so much of ourselves first and creating a barrier of discomfort with the others. We only want and accept the positive things in life. We don't want negative things in life. We have forgotten that God wants us to experience both the pleasant and unpleasant for our spiritual growth. We may wish to know that Religion & Spirituality are entirely 2 different things. We may wish to know that Religion & Spirituality are two sides of a coin. We may wish to know that Religion is the stepping stone to Spiritual path. Without Him, I am nothing. But with Him, I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." ( Phil 4:13.) Just a Short Story for All! A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?" The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister... please, I'm sorry... I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the bri ck because no one else would stop..." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. "Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message "Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!" God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice. Thought for the Day: If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart. Face it, friend -- He is crazy about you! God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears,and light for the way.
