Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

I was reading some parts of the Zafarnama and I came across this line,

ਕਿ ਆਂ ਖ਼੍ਵਾਜਹ ਮਰਦੂਦ ਸਾਯਹ ਦੀਵਾਰ ॥ ਨਯਾਮਦ ਬ ਮੈਦਾਂ ਬ ਮਰਦਾਨਹ ਵਾਰ ॥੩੪॥

Ki aan khvaajah mardood saayah daavaar|| Nayaamad ba maidaan ba mardaanah vaar||34||

The condemned Khwaja (Khizar-Khan-Chief of Malerkoda); Did not come out of the shelter of the wall to fight like a man.(34)

Page 1728

Who is Maharaj talking about? And is it supposed to say Malerkotla instead of "Malerkoda"?

Can anyone explain this line more?

I was wondering if Zaffarnama is also " time context independent ". It is bani of Guru , but what can we learn from it today ?

Rather than just thinking of it as a letter to Aurangzeb ?unsure.gif

Have you read zafarnama ?

Tommorrow you may tell our Gurus lived in past and what we have to learn from their lives?

Zafarnama tells us about Guru sahib's heroic deeds thereby inspiring his sikhs in battlefield such as chamkaur sahib where

forty sikhs faced an army of one million moghals.

Zafarnama gave us fundamental teaching of resistance to tyranny as Guru Ji wrote in it that when all peaceful means

fail it is right to draw a sword in self defence.

So was this Nawab the same Nawab that protested against the shaheedi of the two chote sahibzadeys or was that someone else?

Killed person was brother of Nawab who vouched for release of sahibzade at Sirhind.

Wazir said to Nawab why he was speaking for sahibzade especially when their father

had killed his brother.

Nawab of Malerkotla replied that his brother was killed in battlefield.In the same way

Wazir khan should fight father of sahibzade in battlefield and in that case Nawab will also

participate and fight against Guru sahib. To kill innocents children is a cowardly act.

This is Dhan Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji referring to the incident where all Singhs are inside the fortress of Chamkaur - Under GuruSahib's command

the singhs were in bir asas with arrows all aimed towards the stair entrance to the upper floor. As mogul soldiers would come up the stairs they were quickly pounced upon by alert singhs ready to fire a shower of arrows at them. Consequently many died and this Kwajah Mahdood was completely shocked and full of fear fromm the khalsa battle strategy. Kwajah had a whole host of hankari soldiers who thought they could challenge the singhs, but one by one were all being killed or injured and cowardly backed off. Having witnessed all his best soldiers dying and cowardly running away there was complete commotion within the mogul ranks who began saying to Kwajah mahdood you go and attack GuruSahib as you used to say that you will catch Guru Sahib very easily. However he was completely gutless - he went up the stairs and soon as he saw GuruSahib he completely lost all courage and ran back downstairs, even though before hand he boasted that he would avenge the death of his brother. I think he was killed by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji or Baba Banda Bahdaur Singh Ji

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
