Uggardanti Questions


Recommended Posts

VahegurooJiKaKhalsaVahegurooJiKiFateh!

Please note, I am not doing shanka, I am just trying to get a better understanding. I was a having a look through Uggardanti bani and its translation on <a href="http://<banned site filter activated>/Scriptures/uggardanti/uggardanti.htm" target="_blank">http://<banned site filter activated>/Scriptures/.../uggardanti.htm</a>, I don't know i think some of the translation must be wrong. I was reading it and I realised that reference throughout to Durga, Bhaguatee etc. it means Vaheguru, not the goddess that Hindu's pray to. BUT later on, I came across the line where the translation makes it seem like the durga/bhaguati etc. being praised in this bani is DIFFERENT to Vaheguroo, so I am abit confused now. I read the original gurmukhi too, but I still couldn't understand.

This is the verse

inrMjn pRBU nwQ kwdr murwry ]

qhW qU KVI kudrqI rUp Dwry ]

auj`l pRBU ipqw jo (murwr)Bgvwn hY [

auQy qUM kudrq dw rUp Dwrky KVI hYN [

The illustrious God, the Majestic Father.

You are standing in His presence in the guise of Nature..

Like I said, the translation makes it seem like Vaheguroo and the being being praised in this bani are seperate. I thought throughout it was only about Vaheguroo, I am sure it must be, but its just a case of understanding. Can someone help me? I've got some more questions about other lines too if anyone does help hehe.

Ps. another question, is Uggardanti originally a part of Sri Dasam Guru Granth or Sri Sarbloh Granth?

Thanks

Edit: guess I should do a bit more googling before asking, I found a good meaning here:

http://www.5abi.com/mchetna/sikh/uggardant...and_chautha.htm

The meaning makes a whole lot more sense, you have to click to see as gurmukhi won't show.

its like Guru Nanak Dev Ji, standing in the presence of Vaheguru Ji. they are one inthe same , but in 2 different bodies. same with in Ugardanti. the SHAKTI of Vaheguru Ji, prevailing through Chandika, in the presence of Vaheguru Ji.

alot of people misunderstand Ugardanti Baani. it has almost nothing 2 do with Durga in her physical form, it is all just about SHAKTI of Vaheguru Ji.

and no, Ugardanti was not part of Sri Dasam Granth. Ugardanti is a Gupt Baani. like, Brahm Kavich etc.

Gurfateh. :)

I remember reading on a forum (perhaps this one), that Ugardanti was originally part of Sri Dasam Granth, however, was removed by the Sodhak Committee.

Any truth to this?

As far as I know, the Sodhak Committee just chose the banis that were common to most of the puratan birs of Dasam Granth. Ugardanti is found in only one puratan bir of Dasam Granth.

No beer parkashed in punjab has ugradanti unless its a hand written ... not even beer parkashed at takth patna sahib has ugradanti ... the sri dasam granth beer which has ugradanti is parkashed at takth hazzor sahib only which added it recently hardly few years ... now the dasam granth sahib sroops printed at hazzori taksal have ugradanti bani ...

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
