Just finished typesetting a beautiful biography of Bhai Jagta Ji Sahib written by Bhagat Singh 'Hira'. The book is actually available on panjab digi library but it cannot be downloaded, thought this pdf might be useful for those khojees and premis who like to read their books offline :) Heres an excerpt:

A low-caste, blind and shaggy hag approached Bhai Jagta for help. She was in rags and that even exceedingly filthy. Tresses of her matted locks were making her ugliness more clumsy. There was so much lousiness in her hair that the lice were creeping all round her body. Filth was coagulated in every pore of her skin. In brief, she was a gross figure of foulness and wretchedness.

She came and appealed to Bhai Jagta for help. In a shaky and wavering voice she said, "0' generous Baba ! I hear you own even those who on this earth are mean, sluggish and desolate people. I have none in the world to look after me. There is no one so unfor-tunate and miserable as I. My community, my kinsmen, that Is, all of my kiths and kins have deserted me in my this calamitous plight. Even my decayed and flimsy body has defied me. Every limb of mine has become defiant. 0' benevolent Baba ! after all, I have taken your shelter. For God's sake, 0' benign Master ! as is, you do help me."

Baba Jagta attended to her request generously, with a sympathetic heart. He got a nice cottage built for her in the vicinity of huts of low caste which were already in existence. He used to accomplish In person all her needful formalities of life. He himself washed her clothes, arranged for her bath, washed her hair, gently combed her hair and picked up Lice from her person. This became his daily routine. Moreover, he cooked for her the meals twice a day and scoured her befouled utensils. He. devotionally, carried on that service up to her end.

In fact, he was a philanthropist as he saw God in all. Everyone seemed to him the image of God. Hence, he was not serving a low-caste, ugly woman but in her he saw His Divine Master. Thus, he was arranging bath, cooking meals, feeding and pumicing the feet, not of an individual but of God.

To be brief, he saw God in all. For him every being was the image of God.

    • 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.
