Ratan Mala is a twenty-odd stanza Kachi Bani composition in Raag Ramkali that appears towards the end of Puratan Birs (very old copies of Guru Granth Sahib). As far as I know most the Panth has agreed this is not Gurbani and thus it does not have an inclusion in printed Saroops, but there are smaller sections of the Panth who still believe it is Gurbani.

Kavi Santokh Singh and Gyani Gyan Singh have written in their respective Granths that they believe it to be the word of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

In response to my Veer Pheena Ji, yes this is a different composition to Raag Mala. Rattan means Jewel or Gem so Rattan Mala is like a rosary or sequence of Jewels.

I don't understand why you would want to read Rattan Mala. There are hundreds of Angs of Gurbani to read, written by our Gurus. Least of all should a controversy on Rattan Mala's status as Bani be restarted as it has been on Raag Mala.

If you really wanted to read Rattan Mala then you can find it in many Puratan Birs at the end with other additional compositions. I think, also once it was printed in a Gutka by a certain group.

What group was that?? Just out of interest, nothing more sinister. Do any "groups" still believe it to be bani?

From the little I know, certain sections of Taksal and Nihang Jathebandia do still read Rattan Mala. I do not know how widespread the acceptance of this Bani is within the aforemented groups, and I do not think it is accepted in "mainstream" Taksal. Usually acceptance comes from camps ideologically contrasted to that of "mainstream" Singh Sabha ideas.

Perhaps some other wise Gursikh can correct me as I am unsure on this.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!
