Why Should We Recite Sri Mool Mantar Sahib?

[tuhintuhin]

The power of mool manter.

A woman (from canada) got married to a guy from punjab (from poor family), they get settled here, had four kids. But after some years, she found out that her husband had some pshycological issues that he had not disclosed to her ever. He was suffereing from "sociopathy", that is a person having no pity or sense of guilty / be-reham. He would not sleep for 21 days when his condition got worse, won't do any job, was abusive to children. He was normal when he's out and a toatlly different person inside. She had forgiven him for his mistakes so many times. One day when they were having heating arguements on the issues, her husband was sitting on the bed, he hit her on her stomach with his foot so hard that she fell down and then he laughed and said "I used you to come here, I have always hated the rich. You have 4 children, I am here in Canada, you can't do anything now". She could see her world shattering right before her eyes so badly and a little bit hope of straightning out the marriage that she had in her mind somewhere, vansihed. She replied, "you are now dead for me and I am a widow from now onwards, you wanna live here or go, your decision". She would always pray to God but at the same time she knew that it's maybe because of her previous karams. And her husband did come back and apologized for what he did, but she was strong enough not to get emotional and risk her childrens lives. He might have thought of her like other indian women who get emotionaly distrubed and find their lives meaningless without husband. But it didn't happned this way. She did think of suicide many times, but also realized that he won't take care of her children, so she has to live for them because it's not their fault because they didn't choose their father, she chose for them. But she never abandoned Guru sahib, Finally her prayers got answered and she got strenth to move out to 1 room apartment with her 4 kids who supported her decision. She got inner courage and started working day as well as night shift for 3 years and today they are living a happy life. Her struggle is paying off, her children have turned out really caring, mature and responsible.

The secret that she told me that she never share with anyone, is the mool manter, she survived only because of mool manter, doesn't matter where she is, she has mool manter going on in her head 24/7. And I do want to mention that she is not an amritdhari or too much into sikhi, but I think she is more close to Guru sahib than me. I respect her from the bottom of my heart for her strength and faith in waheguru ji and sharing and inspiring me. Before dealing with her, based on her outer look, I had some negative thoughts, but I feel ashamed now and have learnt that we should not judge anyone by their outer appearance. I hope many would get inspired.

The Making Of A Brahmgyani

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

In Guru Ji’s darbar Bhai Surinder Singh Ji (a kirtani from Baba Bakala who was well known at one time (before the advent of tape recorders in Punjab)) narrated the following story to the sangat when he was asked about the importance of naam japna.

One time Bhai Sahib and his Jatha were travelling around Uttar Pradesh and had reached Lucknow the state’s capital. On the Prakash Diwas Gurpurab of Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj the Gurudwara’s committee had arranged a one week kirtan programme and had requested that Bhai Sahib and his Jatha partake in this mahaan seva. In this way Bhai Sahib and his Jatha sang the praises of Akaal Purakh for one week at the Gurudwara Sahib in Lucknow.

After the ardas on the final day of the programme Bhai Sahib was approached by an elderly hindu lady called Mata Dhian Dev who had accompanied a Sikh family to the programme. Mata Ji told Bhai Sahib that she had never heard such beautiful ‘bhajans’ before and that she had been deeply moved by the love and peace of the house of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. With tears in her eyes she requested Bhai Sahib and the sangat to come and hold a kirtan programme at her house. Although Bhai Sahib and his jatha were meant to leave for Punjab later that night Bhai Sahib being a beloved of Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Ji acceded to her request immediately and said that they would come to her house.

The next day Bhai Sahib and the Sangat from the Gurudwara Sahib arrived at Mataji’s house. Mataji with the help of her relatives had cleared all the furniture from her house and had put white sheets everywhere in preparation for their arrival. For six hours Bhai Sahib and the Sangat sang the praises of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.

At the end of the kirtan as Bhai Sahib was about to leave Mata Dhian Dev quickly got up, took hold of his hand and said, “Gyaniji please give me a mantar from this path of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj”. Bhai Sahib smiled and told Mata Dhian Dev that he could not give her such a mantar as only the Panj Pyarai could do that. Mata Dhain Dev listened to this and then said, “You have sung so many ‘bhajans’ here and at the Gurudwara Sahib please give me any mantar from one of these ‘bhajans’”. Bhai Sahib once again explained that the mantar Mata Dhian Dev was seeking could only be obtained from the Panj Pyarai. He then began to explain in detail the life of a Gursikh and the Amrit Sanchar but Mataji kept asking him to provide her with a mantar. Finally Bhai Sahib told her to repeat Guru Sahib’s mool mantar from Ikonkaar to Nanak Hosi Bhi Sach as many times as she could.

Mataji got up and went to her room and came back holding a mala in her hand. While showing Bhai Sahib her mala she told him that every day she uses it to repeat the name of Shiva and asked if she could use this mala to repeat the mantar he had given her. Bhai Sahib smiled and said yes. Mataji then asked Bhai Sahib how many times she should repeat the mantar. Bhai Sahib said that she should repeat the mool mantar as many times as she could.

A few years after this Bhai Sahib and his jatha visited Lucknow once again to peform kirtan seva. After the programme Bhai Sahib saw the same secretary who was there the last time they had visited the Gurudwara Sahib. Bhai Sahib talked to the secretary for a while and then asked him about the wellbeing of Mataji. When Bhai Sahib did this the secretary didn’t say anything for some time. After a while Bhai Sahib asked if she had passed away.

The secretary looked at Bhai Surinder Singh Ji and said, “No Gyaniji, Mataji has not passed away but has become a Brahmgyani”.

Bhai Sahib was taken aback by this and decided to go and visit Mataji’s house. When he reached her house the front door opened and he was greeted by a beautiful Khalsa decorated in Guru Ji’s dastar and bana who with folded hands loudly uttered, “Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh”.

The beautiful khalsa adorned with Guruji’s pure dastar, bana and shahstars was none other than Mata Dhian Dev who had now become Mata Dhian Kaur a beloved daughter of Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj.

Bhai Surrinder Singh Ji eyes began to well up in tears. He was soon caught in Mata Dhian Kaur Ji’s loving embrace. After taking a few moments to compose himself Bhai Surrinder Singh Ji immediately sat Mataji down who with both hands did a benti for Bhai Sahib to do Kirtan.

Bhai Surrinder Singh Ji smiled and said that of course he would do Kirtan but before that he wanted to hear how a few years ago he had left a Hindu mother only to find a beautiful Khalsa mother in her place.

Mataji nodded her head and then began to speak, “Do you remember all those years ago when I asked you to give me a mantar of Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj? You immediately told me to go and see the Panj Pyarai to be blessed with Naam. I quickly dismissed this and after much insistence you agreed to write out the Sri Mool Mantar Sahib of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj for me.”

“The day you left I sat down and began to recite Sri Mool Mantar Sahib from Ikonkaar to Nanak Hosi Bhi Sach using my mala. I used to sit down everyday like this and became lost in this practise. Eventually minutes became hours and hours became days. I used to take my mala everywhere with me. Slowly even my mala disappeared until the only thing I could hear, see, feel or think about was Guruji’s Sri Mool Mantar Sahib.”

“Wherever I looked I began to see Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Sri Mool Mantar Sahib. It was everywhere and within everything from the floor to the walls, trees, birds, skies and beyond.”

“One day while reciting Sri Mool Mantar Sahib I felt my conscious pulled inwards and was met by four people whose faces were covered. They were dressed in dark clothes and were carrying a throne that was held in place with two long sticks. They told me to climb on to the throne and said that they would carry me to wherever I wanted to go. I quickly got onto that throne. They took me to many places each which was more beautiful than the next and asked me if I liked any of them. I was told not only to look at each place but also to get of the throne and wander around those places. After wandering around for a while I would come back to them and say is there nothing else? Is there no land where only Guruji’s Sri Mool Manatar Sahib resounds?”

“Eventually I was taken to a place that I cannot describe. Outside of this place resided all the devis, devtas and other beings. They were all waiting outside hoping to gain entry to this place. Some were sweeping others were performing other types of seva…”

“I don’t know what happened then but the next thing I knew I was inside this very place. I found myself sat in satsang surrounding by men and women with moon-like faces that were dressed in blue and kesri and decked with sarabloh weapons. In front of all these people sat the most beautiful person I have ever seen.”

“The only way I can describe his beauty is that he was the Sri Mool Mantar Sahib itself”

“After sitting here for a while I was approached by a tall person who had a long flowing beard, was dressed in blue and carried a long stick. This person asked me what are you doing here?”

“I looked at him and said what do you mean? I have recited the Sri Mool Mantar Sahib of Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj I have every right to be here.”

“I don’t know what happened next but I found myself in front of Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji himself who said that I had to leave this place. I began to cry and eventually Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji told me that he would give me another chance and that I would have a certain time to ensure that I secure my place in his court. I dropped towards the floor and placed my head at his charankamal.”

“When I raised my head I found that my face was covered with a white sheet and that people around me were uttering, “Ram Nam Satya Hai” (the name of Rama is True). I immediately got up and began to tell people around me that I wasn’t dead but very much alive. They were all in shock.”

“I immediately ran towards the Gurudwara Sahib and asked the Granthi Singh over there to arrange an Amrit Sanchar for me. He told me that in due course one would be arranged but when I narrated my story to him with Guru Sahib’s blessings the Amrit Sanchar was arranged for that day itself.”

Only Guru Sahib and Mata Dhian Kaur knew how much time that he had given her. However how much it was she left this earthly vessel while reciting Sri Mool Mantar Sahib in the house of Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.

How An Abused Muslim Boy Became The President Of Pakistan

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

One time Sardar Meherban Singh Ji went to see Muhammad Ayub Khan (the president of Pakistan) at his house. After talking for a while Bhai Sahib noticed a plaque on the wall in which he saw Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji written in Gurmukhi and Urdu. Bhai Sahib looked at Ayub Khan and said, “Why have you got the Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji of Guru Nanak Dev Ji on your wall?”

Ayub Khan smiled and said, “Sardarji this Kalaam of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj has made me what I am today.”

Ayub Khan said, “I was beaten everyday by the Mulla in charge of the Madrasa. One day I had had enough and after being beaten very badly decided to run away from the Madrasa. I ran as far as I could. I finally stopped (at the only place in this world that is open to every single creature) the house of Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.

I sat outside on the steps of the Gurudwara Sahib and began to sob. As I was doing this I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw the beautiful face of a Naam Abiyhaasi Gursikh. The Gursikh looked at me and said, “Yuba why are you crying today?”

I wiped the tears from my face and said, “Babaji I can’t take this anymore! Everyday I go to the Madrasa just to be beaten by the Mulla. My heart, mind and body is broken. I don’t know what to do!”

The Gursikh smiled at me and said, “Yuba I will give you the Mool Mantar of Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. Whenever you have any difficulties in life repeat this Mool Manatar of Guruji.” I looked at the Gursikh as he wrote the Mool Manatar in urdu and proceeded to teach it to me.

After repeating the Mool Mantar together for a few minutes the Gursikh told me to go back to the Madrasa. With hope in my heart I went back to the Madrasa. As I was doing this I realised that I was late and that the Mulla would be very annoyed but I still repeated this kalaam of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

When the Mulla saw me he looked at me and said, “Oh, so you’ve come. Quickly sit down we have a lot to get through.”

I was so surprised that he didn’t tell me to stand in one spot, or grab me by my ears, slap me or use the long stick he used to keep to beat me with! This was the first time in my life that I had not been beaten by the Mulla. From this moment I realised the power of this kalaam of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and quickly committed it to memory. Anytime I had any difficulties in life I repeat it.

In this way I came to be the President of Pakistan. Having felt its power I tell my children to keep hold of this kalaam.”

Akho Satnaaam Sri Waheguru.

This story is recorded in Ayub Khan’s autobiography.

The Gursikh who narrated this story to the sangat says that he has this story pasted on his wall so that everyday when he wakes up and looks at it it gives him a slap across his face. While writing this I feel that same slap.

May Guru Sahib bless us with the ability to repeat his Sri Mool Mantar Sahib.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

I absolutely love this thread!!!!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

What is all this that we are doing? Are we taking His name, so cheaply? Are we basing our faith in Wahiguru upon miracles, and fantasies? Shame on us, for being so mean and low! We have to love Him just because He is adorable, He is only worthy to be loved, for the sake of love. Nothing more,nothing less. Any thing other than this, just shows off our weaknesses. This just looks like a fair of fantasies. What is all this of passing exams or curing cancer, etc, etc...

He is much much more than all this. He is our true Father, we have to love Him for what He is for us, not what for the things we can get from Him. We should not care for the daat, but we should love Daatar.

Nam simran should just be done, only to merge ourselves in Akal Purukh. By doing so, we cut from the roots any chances of coming in this creation of pain and suffering. He is the fountain of real and everlasting happiness, so our real happiness, is in getting one with Him. This is what our Gurus taught us, we have to love Him, to get Him only; anything apart from this, is inviting trouble.

Deenda de...lenda thak pae.

If the king is ready to give us the kingdom, why to ask for peanuts...

So let us become gurmukhs from manmukhs by loving Him, only for Himself.

When you are in trouble you are asking your own father, I don't see anything wrong with that. If a boy gets cured from cancer, whats wrong with that. If he wasn't told to go the Gurudwara he would have died without Wahaguru, now he has both his life and love of wahaguru. The people who are in pain are the ones who feel it, that does not mean they do not love Guru Nanak.

Just one question. If we have begun the sava lakh Mool Mantra Jaap, then do we need to also observe restrictions on diet?

Like abstinence from non-veg food,eggs etc.?

[kharkusingh1996]

I would definitely highly recommend restraining from non-veg and eggs as you need to treat your inside as a temple and be observant what you put inside of it.

[harsharan000]

First of all what is Mool manter?

In short, It is the essence of sikhee and the root of spirituality.

It is also a reminder to us, the moorakhs, the manmukhs, about the reality and inmensity of Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

That, there is only one Lord Wahiguru, and that the way to reunite ourselves with Him, is first of all through His Grace, by which we do the right devotion, and that is the Jap, of His Naam.

Ik Onkar

Satgur parsad,

Jap.

Sat Sree Akal.
