SUKHASAN

[Gurpreet Singh]

Sukh Asan

Every night at the Gurdwara when SukhAsan takes place and Guru Granth Sahib Ji is respectfully carried on the head of a beloved GurMukh, the rest of the GurMukh Pyare sing :

Jithae Jae Bahe mera Satguru,

so thaan suhava Ram Raje

Wherever my SatGuru comes to sit

that place becomes adorned

The Dhol is being beaten, the Shaineh (bells and cymbals) are chiming, a group of ten children are at the front, the rest of the Sangat follow behind as Guru Sahib goes to the Peace (Sukh) position (Asan) upstairs on the bed.

It feels like Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself is riding majestically by and the Sangat bow, applying the dust of His feet to their forehead

GurSikhi so than bhal-i-a

La dhoor mukh lava

The GurSikhs go to that place

and apply the dust to their forehead.

Like when a luxurious ocean liner cuts through the calm sea under the summer sun and all the little boats marvel at its splendor as he sails by. Then they feel the ripples of waves from the Ocean liner and follow in his wake. Singing Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Waheguru as all the blessings wash over them.

Gur sikha kee ghal the payee

Jin Har Naam Dhia-va

The GurSikh's effort is accepted

if they mediated on God's Name

The GurMukhs sing the glories of the SatGuru and God causes the world to sing the glories of the GurMukh.

Jin Nanak SatGur pooji-a

Tin Har Pooj Karava

Those who worship SatGuru Nanak

God causes them to be worshipped.

(Chhant by Guru Raam Das Jee)

Sant Attar Singh Ji used to lie flat as stick (danda-aut) in front of Guru Granth Sahib Ji for hours on end just to pass a

ll the blessings and respect people had given him back to Guru Sahib.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji said 'nothing pleases me more than people serving the Khalsa'. Wherever Guru Ji used to go to eat, he made sure the Panj Pyare got served before he did. (This tradition continues when Prashad is distributed first to representatives of the Panj Pyare i.e. 5 Khalsa then to the Granthi and then to the Sangat.)
