Question About Chandi Di Vaar

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I had one question regarding Chandi di Vaar. At end of it, it says 'And that person who sings it will not take birth again'. What did Guru Ji mean by this? Did Guru Ji mean that whoever recites will not go through reincarnation again?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge,

Thankyou

This is how Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha answers this question in 'Hum Hindu Nahin'

Chandi di War is a story of war between devils (rakshas ) namely Shumbh, Nishumbh, Mahikhasur etc. and Durga devi or Chandi and the story is a translation of "Markande Puran" a famous SanskritGranth. To understand it please refer Chandi di War (first onewhich is bigger also)

where ,before ending the story Guru ji mentions :-

ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਤਿ ਸਇਆ ਕੋ ਕਰਿਓ ਜਾ ਸਮ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥I have translated the book named Satsayya (a poem of seven hundred shalokas), which hath nothing equal to it.

ਜਿਹ ਨਮਿਤ ਕਵਿ ਨੇ ਕਹਿਓ ਸੁ ਦੇਹ ਚੰਡਿਕਾ ਸੋਇ ॥੨੩੩॥ The purpose for which the poet hath comosed it, Chandi may grant him the same.233.

ਇਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ੍ਰ ਮਾਰਕੰਡੇ ਪੁਰਾਨੇ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਚੰਡੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰੋ ਉਕਤਿ ਬਿਲਾਸ ਦੇਵ ਸੁਰੇਸ ਸਹਿਤ ਜੈਕਾਰ ਸਬਦ ਕਰਾ ਅਸਟਮੋ ਧਿਆਇ ਸਮਾਪਤਮ ਸਤੁ ਸੁਭਮ ਸਤੁ॥੮॥

Here, the eighth chapter of Chandi Charitra, which is translation of Markande Puran,ends.

And it is amply clear from the above that the story and the bravery of Devi and assurance given to readers is not the assurance of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib but of the Markandey who is the author of Markande Puran.

It is not exact translation but rather adaption where in all chapters in praise of Durga as supreme Goddess have been taken out. Durga has been termed as creation of akal purakh rather than an independent entity.

Firstly let me begin by strongly advocating that Sikhism & Hinduism are Two different religions.Why?The Biggest reason being that the tenth Guru,in no uncertain terms

laid out this fact.And that alone is a sufficient reason for me.Moreover sikhism has its own way of worship,its different culture traditions.It doesnot believe in many hindu customs like idol worship,prohibits havans & so on & so forth.

Hinduism,may be to the surprise of many sikh brothers, also believes in one Supreme Nirakar(Formless)God which is called Brahm,but it also believes that the SAME Brahm

in its Sakaar(with form) form is Bhagwaan (Krishna/Ram/Mahavishnu).But even 1st Jagatguru Adishankaracharya INITIALLY believed,in his commentary on Vedanta that only Nirakar Brahm is the Supreme/pure one God & sakaar bhagwan just emnate from it.But in his later works he became a bhakta of Krishna & prayed & shed tears before him.

According to Hinduism the particles on earth can be counted but not the number of universes which are infinite, & all created by the same one God(Brahm/Bhagwan),&

each universe has its own brahmaa,vishnu &, shankar which are like governors of that particular universe.

Some Sikh brothers,for reasons best known to them, disown Chandi Di vaar as not being the work of The tenth Guru,some lend entirely different meaning to the word

Bhaguati in the 1st Paurhee.Some go to the extent of disowning those parts in SGGS,which are allegedly not the original work of the tenth Guru,but were included by two mischevious hindu courtiers of his(24 avatars).

So they say that only the original works of only the ten great Gurus in the SGGS should be considered.Point taken!I,am a Hindu,but really like the soulfull shabads of the

ten Gurus,their original work & dare I say i find a lot of refernces & prayers to Ram,Govind,Gopal,Shivaa(the consort of shiv)etc.I believe that all these may be only refernces to Waheguru Ji,The formless one.

My only appeal to the Sikh Brethern is not allow anyone to Disown or misinterpret any of the great works of the Gurus,for political or any other concerns.They have to be

preserved in letter & spirit .Dont throw the baby with the bathwater pls.

I hve tried to clarify the issue with whatever little knowledge at my command,& I render my apologies if I have hurt anybody's sensitivities,with that not being th intent.

Can you tell me what tym should we do Chandi di vaar. I think i have read in Sant Harnam Singh ji book that if u start Chandi di vaar after rehraas than it should continue all throughout the night.

But what about the day time. What tym can we do this?

to be honest you should only read this if you are tyar bar tyar singh, and not arrrm sangat. But.....never read in daytime always read amrtivela not when it is daylight, read as part of your nitnem, and have a glass of water near when you read it.

    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
    • All of these are suppositions, bro. Linguists know that, generally, all the social classes of a physical area speak the same language, though some classes may use more advanced vocabulary. I'm talking about the syntax. That is, unless the King is an invader, which Porus was not. When you say Punjabi wasn't very evolved, what do you mean? The syntax must have been roughly the same. As for vocabulary, do you really think Punjabis at the time did nothing more than grunt to express their thoughts? That they had no shades of meaning? Such as hot/cold, red/yellow/blue, angry/sweet/loving/sad, etc? Why must we always have an inferiority complex?
    • I still think about that incident now and then, just haven't heard any developments regarding what happened, just like so many other things that have happened in Panjab!
    • There was a young Singh from abroad who went to Anandpur Sahib Hola and got into a fight with some Punjabis who were playing loud non-religious music. He had bana and a weapon or two. There were more of them than him.  He ended up losing his life. Don't be like that. Not worth it to fight manmukhs. @californiasardar1 ਮੂਰਖੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਲੁਝੀਐ ॥੧੯॥ Argue not with a fool. p473
