Baba Sri Chand Ji And Misconception

I am not sure if it is mentioned in Mahant Kirpal Singhs steek. i have heard this story many times about Baba Sri Chand Ji suggesting Guru Arjan Dev Ji to write 8 more Astpadis for the Sukhmani Sahib. I even used to tell others the story.

But once i started to listen to the taksal katha by sant gurbachan singh and the gurmatveechar katha of sant kartar singh. Both mahapurkh state it never took place and the story was made to give a certain superiority to the udasi samparda to that of the orthodox sikh faith.

The bani was created as people who are family orientated and could not do saas giraas 24 hours of the day so a benti was put foreward to the fifth nanak. Guru Arjan Dev Ji wrote the bani in accordance to the number of hours some say but at the time of the gurus the systems of hours were not in user but pahirs, gharis, thitis, etc

If you read the first page of the steek by Sant Makhan Singh Ji Sato Gali Walae or listen to teh opening of the sukhmani sahib katha on www.gurmatveechar.com they explain how the bani of Sukhmani sahib has a certain amount of letters with and without the alphabet. representing the number of breaths a householder is said to use per day and the number of breaths the yogis state a person takes per day. Both numbers are different and Guru sahib kept both sanbandhs when making the bani.

If they created only 16 astpadis and thought it was sanpooran for a person to gain the fal of a days saas giras but had to be told by another, it just does not sound right for 'Partakh Har Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji'

Guru Arjan Dev Ji were not informed by Baba Sri Chand Ji to write more Astpadis as all was in the will of the Lord and he in his Sargun form knew all and created the Sukhmani Sahib in perfection with no other help.

As i said you can find the audio i have mentioned below

Whose heard the story of baba sri chand laughing and asking Guru Ram Das ji why his beard is so long and Guru Ram Das ji said to wipe the feet of saints like you   and Guru ji bent over and started cleaning Sri chands feet.   Iv heard different versions of this story.  Some people deny it   

Didnt sri chand reject Guru Nanak Dev jis dharam and start his own sect. He had a lot of yogic powers.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
