Bhia Bala Not In Purtan Janamsakhi


Recommended Posts

Sadh Sangat Jee,

Scholars have said the Bhai Bala Janamsakhi is a fabrication and was actually created after Guru Gobind Singh Ji's time.

Bhai Gurdas has left out mentioning him.

Refer to Karam Singh's conclusions in "Kartik or Baisakh" -

  • Historical places are called by their new(later) names.
  • Shabads that were revealed later(of Sri Guru Amardas Ji and Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji) are used(when the Janamsakhi is said to be have written before)
  • It talks about the Masand system(which was introduced later by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji)
  • The Khalsa Fateh is used

There are lots of fors and against. Alot of people make such a mentions as to the works of Bhai Gurdas Not having his name within it. Depends who is translating them as Bhai Vir Singh and Bhai Hazara Singh mention Bhai Bala Ji. Just because Bhai Bala Ji might not be mentioned in the vaars does not make him a mythical person. Bhai Sahib did not cover certain events or things or contain the names of every individual linked to th Gurus.

Can you metion which vaar does bhia gurdas mentions bhia bala ji's name that would change everything.

Sadh Sangat Jee,

Exactly, there are many things for it and many against it(Bala Janamsakhi).

Bhai Bala may well have existed, but the Janamsakhi has many things that are clearly wrong.

Even Kavi Santokh Singh said he felt it(Bala Janamsakhi) was corrupted by the Hindalis.

The late Prof. Sahib Singh talks about Janamsakhis here -

ADI BIRH BARAI - Puratan Janamsakhi

These are prob scholars of the missionary college, who may have seen aline or 2 that they couldnt understand, and hence label it as fabrication. The best thing to do is to read it for yourslef and see how you feel. You like it read it again! You dont like it dont!. Job done.

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
