there are a number of dhunnis in guru maharaj. there is a whole sakhi type thing around this specific story (of kamal-rudheen and mojdi). there are manny stories which i cant seem to find... i dont know all these stories but heres a link to another site that talks about the assa divaar - tunde asraje ki dhunni http://www.asadiwar.com/. people back in the days used to know these stories which is prob y guruji wrote this at the end of some of the vaars. each story has a moral associated with it and i suppose that u can see the 'dhunni' as a way of gettign accross the moral in musical form, and i have a hunch that this is how n why assa di vaar was made like this.

i think that this vaar u ask about is where there was a battle between 2 family members or summin and then one of them defeated the other..

iv found u A link (only 1 on net!) where u can read more bout the story u ask bout..

there are books about these stories.. soo...

Very nice!

I managed to find out the story of the start of ang 318. Waheguru has

been merciful. I managed to find from Giani Thakur singh's

translation.

The Story of Kamaldee and Mojdee

ਗਉੜੀ ਕੀ ਵਾਰ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ਰਾਇ ਕਮਾਲਦੀ ਮੋਜਦੀ ਕੀ ਵਾਰ ਕੀ ਧੁਨਿ ਉਪਰਿ ਗਾਵਣੀ

Gauree Kee Vaar, Fifth Mehl: Sung To The Tune Of Vaar Of Raa-I

Kamaaldee-Mojadee:

-ang 318

The ang starts with Gauri ki vaar , by the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev

Ji. Gauri vaar is the longest vaar in the Guru Granth Sahib and Vaar

always associates with battle. This is to be sang with the tune of

raa-i kamaaldee-mojadee. Kamaaldee and mojadee were two different

people. The stories goes as below. Story by Giani Thakur’s recording.

I manage to pick it up with the Grace of God.

In ancient times, there was an area in india where they were ruled by

two brothers- Rai Kamaldee and Rai Sarang. Rai Sarang was pure at

heart and Rai Kamaldee was not. This area was under the jurisdiction

of the mughal empire and the ruler was Akhbar.

Now, all area have to pay tax to the central goverment. The same goes.

So, what happens it that these two brothers will pay tax to the entral

goverment in Delhi. Rai Kamaldee used to tax his part of the tax and

also his brother’s, Rai Sarang’s and go to delhi to present it to King

Akhbar.

However, Rai Kamaldee used to only present his part of the tax, and

not Rai Sarang’s. Two to three years passed with this going on. After

the third year, Akhbar sent his army to arrest Rai Sarang for not

paying the tax for such a long time. Hence, Rai Sarang was arrested

and put into jail.

At that moment, a good friend of Rai Sarang used to work in Akhbar’s

court and he heard about this. He met up with Rai Sarang and asked why

was he placed in jail. Rai Sarang told him that it is because he was

accused of not paying tax, but he has been paying. He knows Rai

Kamaldee has not been paying what he was suppose to pay. Rai Sarang’s

friend then went to akhbar’s court and got Rai Sarang out from jail.

Rai Sarang then went to confront Rai Kamaldee. Rai Kamaldee, in seeing

this, presented two bottles to Rai Sarang, one filled with honey and

another filled with poison. He said that he present rai kamaldee with

two bottles of honey to beg for forgiveness. Rai Sarang said that he

doesnt hold any grudges against rai Kamaldee. However, Rai Kamaldee

said that he will only accept that if Rai sarang drinks the honey from

rai kamaldee’s hand and vice versa. He gave the honey bottle to rai

sarang and the other one he took, hence feeding rai sarang the poison.

Rai sarang then died.

The son of rai sarang, Mojdee was upset about this. He declared war on

Rai Kamaldee. He got together with his maternal side and faught the

war. His bravery prevailed and he killed rai kamaldee. He then assumed

the throne of the area. He also took the son of Rai Kamaldee, Rantira,

to help in governing half the area since he was a fair and good

governor.

This heading was placed in by Guru Hargobind ji. He instructed Bhai

Gurdas ji for this. The original tune was sang in Dhadhi form by two

famous dhadhi players at that time- Dhadi Natta and Dhadi Vadula. They

sang this in Akaal Takht and Guru Hargobind was so impressed with the

bravery demonstrated and this wil increase the “bir raas” in the

soldiers and he placed in the start of the gauri. The Gauri raag has

5 tukris and this dhadi also has 5.

The Dhadi goes like this, from what i can catch in Giani Thakur’s explaination.

Rana rai Kamaldee ran parabahi

Mojdee talwandi charia jabahi

Tali amber chaya akahi

Juthia moh samney hejey chalkahi

Mojhee kar badhayia kar chacay taahi

So, thats the story. Please do correct me if anything, as it is direct

from what the Guru allows me to understand.
