Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Well i have read that, Guru Arjan Dev Ji had said to Guru Hargobind ji to build up an army, and the quote that Guru Gobind Singh Ji said "When all means have failed, it is rightoues to raise the sword"..... If they had taken the peaceful way, we would have been still oppressed today...we had to take arms.

forgive me if i said something wrong

hope this helps

Its sometimes a misconception to believe that the first 5 Guru's were any different to the next 5. Firstly we all need to accept that Guru Nanak Dev Ji was Guru Arjan Dev Ji and in turn Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji also, just in different physical forms.

We also need to remember that Guru Nanak Dev Ji was just as much a man of action as Guru Gobind Singh Ji was. Only difference being the type of weapon used. Most of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Battles took place using Shabads. It was Guru Nanak Dev Ji who gave us the shabad Je toh prem kelan a chao... which was later put in its literal meaning by a disciple (Baba Deep Singh Ji) of the Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

It was also Guru Nanak Dev Ji who told Babbar to his face what he thought of him and his role as ruler.

If Pyareh Guru Ji hadnt sat on that thavi then what would we have learnt? When the saints of vaheguru are attacked, then the saints are forced to raise weapons to defend themselves and protect humanity.

Just as Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji could have within the smallest nanosecond destroyed the mughals and saved the hindu janeoh without giving his life he didnt. its to show the world that truth will stand shining no matter what the consequences. We are silly foolish creatures, and its only when our Guru Suffers that we truely appreciate what he does for us. When Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji gave saheedi, there were many sikhs in the crowd yet how many acted or spoke to defend the guru? It is for us that the guru has to keep sacrificing himself, eg in 1984 Guru Granth Sahib Ji had to give shaheedi over and over again just to snap us out of our slumber.. and again and again today also.

If war is declared on saints then how can

the beloved warriors of God sit and do nothing to protect the saints?

To kill a tyrant is to bring peace for the population who suffers at his hands. There are many ways of brining peace, Sukhmani sahib is just one of these. There would be no peace anywhere if the rightous never stood up with weapons in their hands to enter death and destruction with the aims of peace.

Ulitimately, Guru Ji does as his marji! Many sikhs at the time of Guru Ji also questioned his wearing of 2 kirpaana, but if Guru Ji was before us today would we ever question him? our eyes wouldnt come beyond his feet!

i was told sumthing around 5 years back, and am gonna recall it n say it here.

Without a great sacrifice, raising arms is pointless. The 6th Guru took up arms after the 5th Guru sacrificed His life, and the 10th Guru raised the sword after the 9th Guru attained martyrdom. Nothing makes sense without having given a big sacrifice.

Sat Sri Akal:

First concept of resistance is the ideal. The fundamental thoughts and philosophy must be laid down. Then, arms can be picked up if necessary. Guru Sahiban spent 5 reigns teaching this ideal to the Sikhs. When they finally deemed the Sikhs ready to take arms, the order was given.

Not to say that resistance against oppression was never on the minds of the first five Gurus. Guru Nanak Sahib specifically went and debated/chastized oppressive leaders. From Malik Bhago, who made money off of others blood, to Baabar himself, who killed innocent people with no reason, Guru Nanak Sahib spared none he met who were unjust. So that concept was not new to Sikhs.

Also Guru Gobind Singh knew that ppl like aurangzeb are gonna keep coming back to earth, and so He blessed the Khalsa forever with the warrior spirit.

WAH WAH GOBIND SINGH AAPPE GUR CHELA ^_^

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.
