A Nihang Singh’s Bandi Chor Diwas


Recommended Posts

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

In the 1960s Gursikhs from many villages had gathered at a historical Gurudwara Sahib associated with Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj to celebrate Bandi Chor Diwas.

At this programme a young Gursikh and his family had also arrived there. After being blessed with Guru Sahib’s darshan the young Gursikh went into the open air langar and began to do the seva of serving Guruji’s beloved Sikhs. After doing this for an hour the young Gursikh noticed a solitary figure in the distance.

As the young Gursikh walked towards the figure he soon noticed that it was an elderly Nihang Singh who was dressed in blue and bejewelled with weapons. The Gursikh tentatively approached the Nihang Singh and said, “Babaji why are you sat all alone out here in the darkness? Do you not want to see the lights that the sangat have lit?”

The Nihang Singh opened his eyes and looked at the young Gursikh and said, “Why haven’t you greeted me with Guruji’s Fateh? Don’t you know anytime you see a Khalsa that’s how you should greet them?”

The Gursikh quickly apologised and exchanged Guru Sahib’s Fateh with the Nihang Singh. He then repeated his questions. The Nihang Singh started laughing and told the Gursikh that, “This is the path of Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and is the only thing that shines brightly in this dark world! Why do you want to see simple candles when you can see Guruji who can light the candle of love in your heart?”

The Gursikh smiled and then asked the Nihang Singh what he was doing? To which the Nihang Singh replied, “I’m trying to make each one of my breaths worthwhile in the remembrance of Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji Maharaj’s charan kamal. It is my ardas that my beloved Guru will break the shackles of maya which keep me prisoner and apart from him.”

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
