Satguru Nanak + Wedding


Recommended Posts

vahegurooo Ji ka Khalsaaaaah, Vaheguroooo Ji ka Fateeeeeeh!

Within Gurbani or has Bhai Gurdas Sahibji provided any the references to what occurred on Satguru Nanaks wedding day?

I appreciate your help and a Hindu states that Satguru's rites were done according to Hindu custom.

Baldeep.

He wrote Bani on a "fatti" and took rounds around it instead of fire. Sikhs used to get married the same way as Guru Ji until 4th Nanak Ji composed Lavan in Soohi Raag. Then the new way of Anand Karaj was introduced and has been the same since then. Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji had the same Anand Karaj we have today. Four lavan around Gurbani and Ragis did Kirtan. get a copy of "Vaartak Gur Partap Sooraj Granth" not sure if it is still being printed. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Guru Nanak Ji refused so the brahmans got mad and were making plans to knock and old wall on Guru Ji. Guru Ji was sitting on the other side of a titled wall. Guru Ji's dad also wanted a marriage to be done the Hindu way but the brahmans were really mad. So the plan was to knoeck the wall on Guru Ji and someone went to Guru Ji and told what the plan was. Guru Ji replied by saying, "Relax! Don't worry. This wall will stand here for centiries." The wall is still standing. It is tilted. A Gurudwara is built there. The wall is inside the Gurudwara. Gurudwara is called Kandh Sahib.

yes, i believe Guru Nanak wrote either Beej Mantar (Ik Oankar) or the whole Mool Mantar on a piece of paper, placed it on a platform with beautifull cloths, and did circles around it instead.

Most of the guests, priests, family members were upset, but little did they know who 'Nanak' really was.

Dhan Guru Nanak

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Excerpt from the publication "The Life of Guru Nanak Dev Jee" -

The Guru was married in May 1487, at the age of 18 years.  The marriage procession was taken to Batala, which is situated on the rail-road Amritsar – Pathankot.

According to Meharban’s Janam Sakhi (Meharban was the son of Prithi Chand, older brother to Guru Arjan Dev), the following episode is given.  It is said that Guru Nanak refused to marry according to the Brahmanical rites and suggested a simple wedding  ceremony.  The Brahmins resisted and Baba Mool Chand Chauna refused to marry his daughter to Guru Nanak according to any other rites.  He even threatened to send the wedding party back.  The Bhandari family of Batala agreed to marry their daughter  to Guru Nanak if Baba Mool Chand Chauna  broke his daughter’s engagement to Guru Nanak.  Mool Chand then at once relented, but agreed on he condition that Guru Nanak must convince the Brahmins that the ceremony he proposed was better.  A discussion was arranged.  It was raining that day.  At the time of discussion Guru Nanak was given a seat near a crooked mud-wall, which was about to fall.  Mool Chand expected victory from either of the two scores.  Either Guru Nanak would be defeated by the Brahmins, or a little push given to the wall could kill him.  An old lady, who came to know about the conspiracy, fore warned Guru Nanak.  The Guru told the lady that the wall would not fall for centuries.

The mud wall at Batala, near which the wedding ceremonies of the Guru were performed, is still preserved.  A fair is held at this place in September every year to commemorate the wedding ceremony of the Great Guru.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
