Rakhari In Sikhism

[K. SINGH DEEP]

Rahari in Sikhism is not afestival to be celeberated like Hindus in Brahmanvad, who celeberate this festival as relationship between brother and sister. For a TRUE SIKH every lady except his wife is either mother or sister or daughter as per the concept of Gurbani, " VEKH PARAIYAN CHANGIYAN MAVAN DHIYAN BHENA JANE".When such is the character of SIKH then what is the necessity of tieing a thread weaven Rakhari. Some people say that Sikhs celeberate RAKHRI as MELA RAHAR PUNYA at Gurdwara BABA BAKALA SAHIB ji.

There is a seperate historical SAKHI which has coincided whith this day.

Bhai Makhn Shah Lubana when reached at BABA BAKALA in search of 9th GURU for his offerings there were 22 PAKHANDI GURUS like DHEER MAL, who have been claiming of being GURU,but none of them could satisfy the true disciple of Gurughar/Gurudar.Then on telling of a shepherd that there is a hidden saint Known as BABA TYAG MAL JI who is always meditating in a bhora,BHAI MAKHAN SHAH reached at BHORA SAHIB found THE satguru and spoken lodly on the roof "GURU LADO RE GURU LADHO RE". So SIKHS should celeberate this day as" GURU LADHO RE DAY" in memory of DHAN GURU TEG BAHADUR JI and his true sikh BHAI MAKHAN SHAH ji . On this pious day every SIKH needs to take oath that no one will be allowed to call himself as GURU in sikhism till his last breath.
