You are entitled to your views, Dilgeer has his own and I have my own view.

People who believe in Bipar ideology will believe in miracles.

At time of Babar People claimed that they will make enemy army blind.

This incident is in the above Tuk.

And veerji if you go by believing then christian and muslime believe in Adam and eve, what can we make of it.

So is Bhai Gurdas Jee lying about Makkah rotating?

Or is Bhagat Namdev Ji lying about the Mandhir rotating in his own Bani?

The big bolder with Sri Guru Ji's hand imprint is probably also a hoax now?

Bhagat Kabir jee mentioning miracles that occured in his own bani was probably also lying?

Kala Afghanists can deny something all they like, but how can you deny something that is written in Gurbani or in Bhai Gurdas Jee's varaan? by denying some events mentioned in Gurbani and the varaan, you are questioning the truthfulness of Bani and Vaars.

Veer ji why beat the bush.

Quote Gurbani and Bhai Gurdass Vaaran.

ਭਾਈ, ਝਾੜੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਕੁੱਟਣ ਦਾ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ ਸ਼ੌਂਕ ਨਹੀ। ਵੈਸੇ ਤਾ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਪਤਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ "ਮਾਟਾਫੋਰ" ਕਿਹ ਕਿਹ ਕੇ ਉਸ ਤੇ ਮੁਨਕਰ ਹੀ ਹੋਣਾ ਹੈ, ਫਿਰ ਭੀ ਮੈ ਉਮੀਦ ਰਖਦਾਂ ਕਿ ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਤੇ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰਦਾਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਾਰਾਂ ਤੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਕਰੋਂਗੇ।

1. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Jee rotating Makkah is mentioned by Bhai Gurdas Jee here: in Vaar 1 Pauri 32

When the Mullah named Jivan grabbed Guru jee's legs and turned it towards another direction the following happened in Bhai Gurdas Jee's own words:

ਟੰਗੋਂ ਪਕੜਿ ਘਸੀਟਿਆ ਫਿਰਿਆ ਮਕਾ ਕਲਾ ਦਿਖਾਰੀ।

The Makkah revolved(phiria) through this Kala(miracle) of Vaheguru.

See Bhai Gurdas Jee's translation by Bhai Vir Singh Jee, Giani Hazara Singh Ji and the Katha of this Vaar by Giani Gurbachan Singh Bhindranwale here

2. Bhagat NaamDev Jee's bani mentions a Saakhi from his lifetime of where a Mandhir was rotated around him. It is mentioned here in this shabad:

ਹਸਤ ਖੇਲਤ ਤੇਰੇ ਦੇਹੁਰੇ ਆਇਆ॥ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਤ ਨਾਮਾ ਪਕਰਿ ਉਠਾਇਆ॥੧॥

ਹੀਨੜੀ ਜਾਤਿ ਮੇਰੀ ਜਾਦਿਮ ਰਾਇਆ॥ਛੀਪੇ ਕੇ ਜਨਮਿ ਕਾਹੇ ਕਉ ਆਇਆ॥੧॥ਰਹਾਉ॥

ਲੈ ਕਮਲੀ ਚਲਿਓ ਪਲਟਾਇ॥ਦੇਹੁ ਰੈ ਪਾਛੈ ਬੈਠਾ ਜਾਇ॥੨॥

ਜਿਉ ਜਿਉ ਨਾਮਾ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਉਚਰੈ॥ਭਗਤ ਜਨਾਂ ਕਉ ਦੇਹੁਰਾ ਫਿਰੈ॥੩॥ (੧੧੬੪)

3. From Bhagat Kabir Jee's own bani He mentions that when the king was inflicting torture on him, they tried to drown him in the river. But far from drowning a miracle occurred A wave of the water hit Bhagat Kabir Jee's chains, it miraculously broke(by water!). Simultaneously Bhagat Kabir Jee was literally and miraculously sitting on the water of the river, so he would not drown either. Bhagat Kabir Jee mentioned this in the following Shabad:

ਗੰਗ ਗੁਸਾਇਨਿ ਗਹਿਰ ਗੰਭੀਰ ॥ ਜੰਜੀਰ ਬਾਂਧਿ ਕਰਿ ਖਰੇ ਕਬੀਰ ॥੧॥

ਮਨੁ ਨ ਡਿਗੈ ਤਨੁ ਕਾਹੇ ਕਉ ਡਰਾਇ ॥ ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਚਿਤੁ ਰਹਿਓ ਸਮਾਇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

ਗੰਗਾ ਕੀ ਲਹਰਿ ਮੇਰੀ ਟੁਟੀ ਜੰਜੀਰ ॥ ਮ੍ਰਿਗਛਾਲਾ ਪਰ ਬੈਠੇ ਕਬੀਰ ॥੨॥

ਕਹਿ ਕੰਬੀਰ ਕੋਊ ਸੰਗ ਨ ਸਾਥ ॥ ਜਲ ਥਲ ਰਾਖਨ ਹੈ ਰਘੁਨਾਥ ॥੩॥੧੦॥੧੮॥{ਪੰਨਾ 1162}

4. Panja Sahib wali saakhi. Instead of going into detail since everyone(I presume) knows of this saakhi, I will just post the picture as proof because this picture speaks louder than words proving this miracle occurring:

Veer ji Bhai Randhir Singh and Prof Sahib Singh have different translation.

Bhai Randhir Singh is very big Mahapurash but we metaphoric people go with Prof. Sahib Singh.

Guru Nanak Sahib ne makka gumha dita par Sri Chand da Dimaag na Gumha Sake Sikhi chad udassi ho gaya.

Makke jithe log islam de ilawa kise dharam nu nahin mande c, ohno nu sikh baana dita, babe ne makka gumha dita.

Bhairao, Kabeer Jee, Ashtapadees, Second House:
ੴ सतिगुर प्रसादि ॥

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

My brief interpretation of the above, admittedly as a simple ordinary person and which does not do the depth of Gurbani any justice, is that Dhan Dhan Kabir Ji Maharaj is speaking of Dhan Dhan Kabir Ji Maharaj's mental liberation from the falsehoods of the fake intermissaries (between man and God) and their Holy Ganges in which they try to mentally drown and oppress those who stress devotion to the One God on the basis of Gurmat and Truth which are one and the same.

Interpreting Gurbani literally on every single occasion could be argued as being somewhat akin to believing that "Ram" in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj refers to the Hindu God in human form (Ram Chander) when that quite clearly that is simply not the case. Like Gurdeep Paji said, if we go down this route of literal interpretation on every single occasion then what difference will there be between the Sikh Panth and the Christians with their magical virgin births and 72-hour timed resurrections or the Muslims with their Prophet Muhammad flying on a horse from Mecca to Jerusalem and then onward to outer space and Hinduism's millions of mythological miracles which are well documented.

Sikhi is above this anti-Gurmat philosophy and our Guru Sahib were above this, as unlike other religious figures they did not win adherents via the sword or via miracles but simply through their devotion to the One God and the philosophy of Kirat Karo Naam Japo Vand Chako.

My brief layman's interpretation (which can never do full justice to the true depth of Gurbani) is that Dhan Dhan Bhagat Namdev Ji Maharaj are not referring to the physical rotation of the Mandir per se ... but instead they are referring to the fact that God is there with the devotee who has Truth within his or her heart regardless of their physical presence outside a Temple's boundaries (rather than with those purveyors of falsehood "inside" who may happen to control a House of God at any one point such as Massa Ranghar).

Thus the wretched caste-discriminating Temple Mahants, though they threw Dhan Dhan Bhagat Namdev Ji Maharaj physically out of the Temple ... by that very act effectively dispersed the Love of God from the Temple ... meaning that God's Truth was spiritually present in its most wondrous form in front of Dhan Dhan Bhagat Namdev Ji Maharaj OUTSIDE the physical shell of the Mandir. Quite clearly God was not present in the actions of those wretched Mahants (though they might have proclaimed to the outside World that they had purified their so-called House of God from the pollution of a Dalit as espoused in Hinduism's Manu Smriti).

But we don't need to argue over Gurbani - you are welcome to your interpretation

- and let's always re-focus on the issues where the Panth is always in full unanimous agreement.

I havn't read Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Jee's interpretation. But Prof Sahib Singh Jee's interpretation of Bhagat Kabir Jee and Bhagat Namdev Jee's shabad that I referenced supports my view, and he wrote in Viakaran. Giani Harbans Singh jee, another Viakaran master's interpretation of these Shabads are also in line with my view. Besides this, I have read the Sampradayak interpretation of these Shabads and that is also supportive of my view. So this leaves no doubt that these Miracles of Vaheguru did occur according to respected Sikh scholars. Now that leaves the final point of Makkah rotating which is mentioned by Bhai Gurdas Jee in his vaars and I have already given reference to that by the interpretation done by Bhai Vir Singh Jee, Giani Hazara Singh Jee and Giani Gurbachan Singh Bhindranwale Jee which also support that the miracle of the Makkah rotating did occur. Panja Sahib we have physical proof of that miracle. This leaves no doubt that these miracles did occur as far as Gurbani is concearned. Now you can either believe Gurbani and Bhai Gurdas Ji on the one hand or Dilgir and Kala Afghanist ideology on the other. I would personally go with the former rather than the later.

Uklondonsikh answer your question veerji.

For lateral I will go with Dr. Dilgeer in history part.

I don't read kala afghan.

Prof. Sahib Singh explains the shabad you can check again.

Its simply an attack on the biparvaad.

This is from facebook.

The above is nothing but a bundle of lies. I have some knowledge about sewa people going inside. All or anyone cann't go inside. This is a jatha that has been doing this sewa for generations. They are given identity cards hung around their neck with photographs. They have to apply for that and then give in writing that they will do sewa and do not indulge in any sort of Ninda.

This person need to wake up and be up date with maryada. In my opinion the main task of such people who are from missionary cult is to bring bad name to our institutions by false propaganda.

    • WJKK WJKF! How long will this forum remain online for in a readable & accessible state? It appears susceptible to shut-down. It would be a shame if all the forum's content from over the decades is lost in such an event due to servers hosting this forum shutting-down. This forum, whilst not currently active, remains an important repository of the Sikh religion online. It also is a fundamental aspect of Sikh cyber culture that existed from the early Internet period from the 2000's to 2010's before the domination by big social-media sites that consolidated the community. Thus, have the web-masters of this forum considered archiving this forum's contents before it is lost forever? I can assist you in this by saving the content to the Internet Archive on your behalf. Please let me know your thoughts about such an endeavour and I hope you may consider the possibility of archiving the forum for posterity. Future generations of Sikhs and Sikh researchers will be grateful. Kind regards, Theth Panjabi (you can find me on IG at theth.panjabi and on X/Twitter at ThethPanjabi)
    • Video on the tale, gurdwara, and manuscript: link As the story goes, during the Vadda Ghallughara genocide against the Sikhs perpetrated by the Afghan Durrani Empire on 5–6 February 1762, not only were Sikh lives lost, but our original Damdami Sahib Bir recension was also lost in that carnage. However, over the years I have spent researching our history, many claimed it was taken back to Afghanistan by Ahmad Shah Abdali's troops as loot whilst others said it was secretly hidden somewhere by the Singhs for safe-keeping. As of today, it remains untraceable and I presume it is gone for good. However, I came across a couple of articles stating that there were actually around five master-copies of the original Damdami Bir, with one of these copies being safeguarded by the jatha of Bhai Sudha Singh of the Shaheedan Misl. "It is said that the tenth Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh had got five birs written at Damdama Sahib. The bani (writings) of the ninth Sikh master Guru Tegh Bahadur were incorporated in these birs. These five birs were given to different jathas (groups) of Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh to be safely installed. One bir was being taken by Sudha Singh who was leading a jatha of 19 Sikhs, when Abdali'[s] forces stormed Kup-Rohira and killed thousands of Sikhs. Though all 19 Sikhs were massacred by Abdali, Sudha Singh somehow brought the bir to Kuthala. Since then it has been kept at village gurdwara." (Times of India, 2012) The gurdwara today [Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji in Kuthala] has a certain historical manuscript that they claim is one of the five master-copies of the Damdama recension. You can see close-up shots of the bir in the video posted. I will also share close-up images of its folios in the comment section. I will also provide a faithful English translation of the video's narration so non-Punjabi speakers may benefit from this post. I will leave the question on whether this bir is authentic or not to your judgement but I will provide my own analysis below.   English translation of the video's narration: The Guru-form Guru Khalsa Holy Congregation (Sadh Sangat) Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. The Gurdwara Sahib that the congregation is currently beholding is situated in Village Kuthala, near Malerkotla, in the Sangrur district of Punjab. A very great treasure is preserved within this Gurdwara Sahib. The history of this Gurdwara Sahib is very closely related to the Vada Ghalughara (The Great Holocaust) that took place in February 1762. Baba Sudha Singh Ji, the third head of the Shaheedi Misl, arrived at this location considering it a safe place. He brought with him that sacred holy scripture (Saroop) which the Tenth Father, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, had personally dictated to Bhai Mani Singh Ji on the holy land of Damdama Sahib. Upon arriving, he personally performed the last rites (cremation) of 19 martyred Sikhs at this site. As he prepared to leave to take command of the Jatha (the Sikh contingent), the sacred holy scripture he had brought was enshrined at this very location. At that time, this place was known as Dera Jaga Sidh, but nowadays, a very beautiful building stands here in the name of Gurdwara Sahib Shaheedi. The sacred holy scriptures that were enshrined at that time are today ceremoniously displayed (Prakashwan) with great respect every Channi Dashmi (the tenth day of the bright lunar fortnight) for the congregation to behold. Devotees from within the country and abroad arrive to catch a glimpse of these sacred scriptures and receive the Guru's blessings. Every year, an annual Gurmat Samagam (religious congregation) is held for five consecutive days in memory of the martyrs of the Great Holocaust, concluding on Magh Sudi Dashmi. Furthermore, a book containing the full detailed history—titled after Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji and the Hand-written Holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji—was released in February 2013 by the managing volunteers based on historical research. It was released by the 14th head of the Shaheedi Misl, Singh Sahib Baba Makhan Singh Ji (the current head of Baba Bakala Sahib), the Meet Jathedar Singh Ji, and Sant Gurdev Singh Ji of Anandpur Sahib (the current head). The congregation can obtain spiritual benefit by reading it. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.   My analysis: In my humble opinion (which may be incorrect), this bir is not a master-copy of the Damdami Bir. It more closely resembles the highly-decorated birs of the Kashmiri-style that were created during the reign of the Sikh Empire in the first half of the 19th century. We can see this bir has highly illuminated and illustrated angs (folios), which took the great skill of a master artisan to make, which required resources to pay and patronize. Usually, the manuscripts during the Sikh Empire were the most elaborately decorated, as this was when the Sikhs were at a high-point, masters of the land, possessing vast amounts of resources that they could use to fund such endeavors. Therefore, whilst the story may be true and a master-copy of the Damdami Bir recension may have once been at this location, I am not convinced that this particular manuscript is it. I may be mistaken and I am open to constructive criticism. 1633648456_GurdwaraHistory.mp4
    • Sri Kesgarh Sahib (and Akaal Takht) has always allowed eating meat for those who take Amrit there, as long as it's not ritually killed like halaal.  They've followed the official Sikh Rehat Maryada since it was made in the 30s, before that they were Nihang Maryada who also allow meat. So no Panj Pyaare have ever mandated being veg at Anandpur Sahib. You can read the full Sikh Rehat Maryada in English, it includes the Panj Pyaare are meant to say on the day (page 57 I believe). My cousin took Amrit at Anandpur Sahib and my other one in Darbar Sahib 8 years later. I recently showed them both this page and they said that's exactly what the Panj said to them word for word at their Sanchaars
    • Anandpur Sahib does and always has followed the Sikh Rehat Maryada, same as Darbar Sahib in Amritsar. They allow you to eat any eggs, fish or meat as long it is not Halal meat/killed Ritualistically. They say Kes is the Kakkar, not Keski. I believe only AKJ says that and nobody else. You can read the full Sikh Rehat Maryada, page 56-7 I believe is what the Panj Pyaare are meant to say on the day. My cousin took Amrit at Anandpur Sahib and the other in Darbar Sahib 8 years later. I showed them both this page and they said that is exactly what the Panj said to them word for word at their Sanchaar
    • All Sikhs must recite Rehras Sahib daily but Chaupai Sahib and the short Anand Sahib were only added to it by SGPC and other jathebandis in the 1900s. In Guru Granth Sahib Ji's saroop, "Sodar Rehras" appears from "So dar tera keha" to "Saran pare ki rakho sarma", which is basically the first half of "Rehras" in all standard Gutka Sahibaan. So why do we recite these? Obviously doing more Baani can never be bad, but most Amritdharis recite Benti Chaupai and Anand Sahib in their morning Nitnem so why should we recite these two Baania again instead of a new one? That time could be used to read Shastar Naam Mala, Shabad Hazaare etc. And why do these two Baanis get more importance than the others? Surely if we recite Chaupai Sahib and (part of) Anand Sahib twice in a day then we should also recite Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib and Tav Prasad Savaiya twice as well? Note: Pls correct me if I'm wrong about SGPC. My theory is that they added these into Rehras Sahib cos they removed them from the morning Baania but still had to include them in the daily Nitnem somehow, but this doesn't explain why older Samparde like Budha Dal also have this version of Rehras Sahib in their Gutkeh - someone enlighten Daas pls Bhul Chuk Maaf
