umm can anyone tell me what is zindaginama?

Waheguru....Phaji/bhenji has said :D :

Also read the article on Zindaginama on the new bhai nand lal website:

Zindagînamâ

The Zindagînamâ is written in classical Persian and consists of 510

verses. It is a long, and consistent poem that heralds key aspects of

the Sikh tradition using Islamicate vocabulary. According to tradition,

it was written upon the poet’s arrival to Anandpur and presented as a

gift to the Tenth Guru who was so fond of its content, that he renamed

the composition from Bandagînâma (guidance of spirituality) to

Zindagînamâ (Guidance of life).

Sarup Das Bhalla in 1775 comments on the Zindagînamâ in the following way:

Nand Lal prepared the Bandaginama and presented it as a gift to the True

Guru. The True Guru effaced the title Bandagânamâ to Zindagînamâ. The

text was recited in the Bahir Tavil style in Persian and afterwards

placed in front of the Guru. Hearing it the True Guru was filled with

mercy. He noted that it consistently pronounced the mystical knowledge

of the Divine. It makes dharma clear and always brings peace upon its

reader. Reading it the mind will achieve glory and be free from

adversity. The splendour of the mystical awareness of the Fearless Lord

will then become manifest within the heart. Indeed, without the True

Lord nothing can be known.

The Zindagînamâ is roughly centred on four themes: Meditation (Zikr-e-Haqq), the devotees of God situated in the Sat Sangat (Mardân-e-khudâsat) The Perfect Spiritual Guide and Guru (Murshid-e-Kâmil) and proper conduct in this world (Adab).

The first theme excels the others by far and there is a constant

reiteration of virtues of living a spiritual life based on meditation on

the Name of God throughout the whole composition.

    • 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.
