RaN Sabaaee

At 7/8PM, the RaN Sabaaee would begin, which would last till day and then continue with the Divas Suhaylaa which would conlcude the following evening at Rehraas. This was 24 hour keertan. Sometimes it would happen that the keertan started on the morning of the Gurpurab would go till Sodar and then become attached to the RaN Sabaaee and Divas Suhaylaa. So like this, for even more than 36 hours the sangat would sit uninterrupted.

The RaN Sabaaee would take place in the open yard. From the Langar veranda to the outter gates, the Sangat would sit according the words of baaNee:

"ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿਮਿਲਿਰਹੀਐਮਾਧਉਜੈਸੇਮਧੁਪਮਖੀਰਾ ॥2॥"

Bhai Saahib would begin with the shabad "ਸੇਵੀਸਤਿਗੁਰੁਆਪਣਾਹਰਿਸਿਮਰੀਦਿਨਸਭਿਰੈਣ ॥". He would then sing other shabads on this theme like

"ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿਜਾਗਿਰਹੇਦਿਨਰਾਤੀ ॥)",

"ਹਰਿਉਤਮੁਹਰਿਪ੍ਰਭੁਗਾਵਿਆਕਰਿਨਾਦੁਬਿਲਾਵਲੁਰਾਗੁ ॥",

"ਜਾਗਨਾਜਾਗਨੁਨੀਕਾਹਰਿਕੀਰਤਨਮਹਿਜਾਗਨਾ ॥",

"ਭਿੰਨੀਰੈਨੜੀਐਚਾਮਕਨਿਤਾਰੇ ॥",

"ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿਜਾਗੈਨੀਦਨਸੋਵੈ ॥".

At around 11/12 Bhai Saahib would conclude and the 7 bibi jatha began.

The Ran Sabaaee would be even more amazing than the amrit vela keertan. The effects of keertan and baaNee would become even deeper as they continued from the first smaagams (i.e. 1st keertan, akhand paath, nagar keertan, and amrit vela keertan). Some souls were so intoxicated that like a wind up clock, their Naam Khanda kept going and wouldn't slow down or stop. They were so senseless in this state that they would even have an effect on those around them. The keertan in its own amazing way would continue. All keertanee Gurmukh brother and sisters would enjoy bliss in the keertan from start to finish. No one had even the thought of asking for a turn to do keertan. No one had any need to stand or sleep. All were so immersed that no one had any awareness of their bodies. Only by breaking from the nectar can boredom, fatigue and sleep attack. Keertan was not recited for others but to please the Guru. No announcement took place during the keertan, and when the keertanee was to be changed, it happened through hand motions alone.

A lot of Naam loving brothers and sisters arrived at the Narangvaal Smaagam. No flashy clothes or individuals with unfocussed consciousness were seen. No Nigureys or atheists were around…what work did they have here?

The absence of fatigue, and sleep and the ever-increasing immersion in divine colours has one important reason and that was that during the RaN Sabaaee and Divas Suhaylaa, for 24 hours, no Langar besides water was consumed. The enjoyment one can take from naam and baaNee without food cannot be enjoyed after eating and being totally full.

After listening to keertan for 24 hours, after the bhog, the hunger for more keertan increased. Singhs would go to their homes and continue with more keertan or naam abhyaas. There was no question of sleep or hunger. All bodies were light and it felt as if they were floating on air. The echo of keertan would last for many days in each person's ears.
