Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Description


Recommended Posts

does it hurt if we discuss the gurus height?

nah i think wat veerjee means to says is that usually with most "disussion" type topics on SS tend to blown into full scale debates and heated arguments (bhul chuck maafi not all but some)

its true it is the essence of 10th Patshah's teachings we should have great dicusiions on and not something so trivial as his pysical appearence

bhul chuck maafi

Tell me why cannot we discuss Guru Ji's appreance?

If you want to discuss more important matters why don't you go and start a new thread, or 5 more threads or 10 more threads, who is stopping you.

You do not need to contribute to this thread if you feel it trivial. Rather then waste your time adding meaningless posts here why don'y you start a post of your own where you can discuss what you want ?

veerjee bhul chuck maafi if i caused you any offence.........it was most unconiously done no-one is saying not to dicuss, we live in a democracy and all people are entitiled to discuss what they want......but thing is exactly what i was saying..............even the smallest item of discussion is errupted into a massive debate and sometimes (and im not implying this to any one member as i, myself has also done this) the topic turns into one slagging off match and the origional topic is forgotton...............

but please feel free to keep discussing it but i just felt that if Guru Gobind was sitting here with us now would he want us to be delating aout his hieght or discussing the principles he taught us...........?

Thats all i meant and again apologies if i offended or upset anyone apne chotti behn samjee maaf kara....

waheguru jee ka khalsa whheguru jee ke fateh

Bahji, sorry if I sounded harsh, it was not my intention.

There are many topics to discuss, some very deep topics some not so deep. Sometimes it is nice to just chill out and have a discussion on something less controvertial where we can contribute without the hatchets and clubs. I think this is one of those, where people are bringing their own thoughts to how Guru Ji was, in the end we are still discussing/remembering our father, whether it is a topic on gurbani or something like this, that is all.

In pratan times a persons shastars were made according to their size, forearm size, hand size etc. In my possession I have various shastars from all over India. The southern swords etc seem to be smaller hand grips but full size blades, some longer, whilst the northern ones have larger fittings, makeup, the European ones are the largest.

Now from what I understand and it would help if others come in here with their knowledge I have a Tegh a modern one forged by Buddha Dal, supposedly it is meant to be a replica in dimensions as one of Guru Gobind Singh jis Shastras. Now I’ve applied the 12 mout/ fist measurement and its pretty in par with my hand and my size, and I’m about 5.10. I know the science is crude because it doesn’t take in to regard the idea of a short, heavier boned person with wider hands.

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
