Significance of Salok Gurdev Mata Gurdev Pita

Whenever Baba Harnam singh would recite a Sehaj path or give santhiya (teach how to read Gurbani) to a new learner he would come across a specific instruction written at the end of the prayer of “bawan Akhri” in Raag Gauri by the 5th Guru. He would ponder oer the gurbani and its meaning and why guruji said “read this salok at the beginning and end”. This instruction appears both at the beginning and at the end.

Babaji was confused and thought why did Guruji find it necessary to write this? He asked people and some would say that this instruction only applies when you recite “Bawan Akhri”. Others would say “this is not gurbani it is just a written statement,” but Babaji would reply “there are so many saloks that appear twice in Guru Granth Sahib but none of them ends with this instruction to read this salok at the beginning and end.”

Finally when he was not satisfied this any of the answers he received he prayed to Guruji to give him the reason for this instruction. Then suddenly Guru Gobind singh Ji appeared before him and said “Bhai Harnam Singh! Whenever a Gursikh begins nitnem, either in the morning or evening, at the beginning and after completing their prayers this salok must be read. Before the start of Sri Akhand Paath or Sehaj Path this salok must be read before starting and after completion of the path. The line is written to remind the Sikh to read the salok twice, anyone who recites this salok will receive extra spiritual benefit.”

Finally babaji Was overjoyed with this answer and from that day Him alonmg with the sangat used to recite the salok as instructed by the 10th master.

Dhan Guru Gobind Singh ji

(This salok can be found on Ang 262)

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
