Guru Sahib Ji themselves pull you out of hell if you die with kes and end up in narak - ""

when doing ardaas all 10 guru sahibs are present and anything you ask will get so be extremely careful for what you say because if you ask for something it will come but just maybe not in this life so if you ask for money make sure you ask for Guru Sahib Ji to bless you with humility with it as well and ability to give dasvandh - Granths 

if you spend 6 minutes with a mahapurash and engage in conversation with them you go straight to sachkhand jamdhoots cannot touch you - Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj

Sant Kartar Singh ji's Words of Wisdom

1. Do Ishnaan in the morning, do Paath and Darshan of Siri Guru Granth Sahib jee.
2. Before sleeping at night, ponder upon your deeds and actions done during the day. Regret your bad actions and resolve to be careful in the future. Do good Karams (actions) and avoid sinful actions.
3. Do not refuse orders of your parents and serve them like Sarvan (an historical character who was very dedicated to serving his parents. He was killed accidently by Raja Dashrath the father of Raam Chander).
4. Respect your elders.
5. Love Sant-Bhagats and bow before them with folded hands.
6. Adopt virtues like patience, morality, contentedness, peace, mercy, helping others because with the help of these virtues, you can swim across this world ocean.
7. Avoid deceiving others, stealing, inappropriate friendship with girls (yaari) and gambling. They give you bad reputation.
8. Deception, mockery, lying, slandering, pride and stealing are evil (so avoid them).
9. Mocking and unnecessary joking or teasing should be avoided. Look, Dropadi had teased her Devar (brother-in-law – Duryodhan) and see how she suffered in the royal court (when she was almost stripped of her clothes). Sambha had teased Rishi Durbasha and caused the elimination of his whole Yaadav clan.
10. If you get angry, still maintain peace of mind because anger is a treasure of quarrel. If someone says a rough word to you, respond back in humility.
11. Talk sweetly and this way get Asees (boons) from everyone.
12. Don't do company of a stupid or deceitful person and always avoid sinful Karma.
13. Don't back off after doing Bachan (giving word) and keep your mind and dealings clean.
14. Don't fight with anyone at all and even love a bad person.
15. The more wealth you get, more you should strive to be a better person; don't let pride come in you, with increased wealth. He (Vaheguru) who gives also takes it away; everything is in His hands.
16. Why should enmity and opposition be done when it is a fact that the stay in this world is temporary.
17. You came empty handed in this world and will leave empty handed. So never become a miser (penny pincher) because cursed is the life of a wretched miser
18. I am thankful to such people who help the poor and the needy.
19. Serve the Sadh-Sangat (holy congregation) with food, water and as many other ways as possible.
20. One who shares the God-given gifts with others, remains happy and comfortable. This way by doing charity and helping others, collect the wealth that will help you in the next world. Good and pious actions will be your friends in the next world.
21. Don't do slandering and backbiting against anyone. Whoever follows this teaching will get divine protection of Kartar Vaheguru and one who slanders the Bhagats will drown in this world ocean.
22. Whatever you get as per your destiny, stay happy within that.
23. Don't look at women with a coveted or lustful eye and read Siri Asa kee Vaar (it seems that Sant jee is implying that reading Siri Asa kee Vaar helps against lust). Keep your glance pure and consider someone else's woman as your mother.
24. Spend your life without making proud claims because this world is temporary.
25. Eat less, sleep less, speak sweet and be honest.
26. Don't eat food at all while walking or moving around and eat food slowly with patience.
27. Talk only as much as you know and don't talk uselessly.
28. Say only which is correct and think before talking.
29. Don't interrupt others when they are talking and don't hurt anyone's feelings.
30. Don't laugh at your own talk and don't say the same thing again and again. One who does not consider the above points related to talk is the king of fools i.e. a great fool.
31. Don't tell someone's secret to others. It is very bad to reveal someone's secret.
32. Don't praise yourself and always respect others.
33. Hesitate a bit when raising unnecessary questions and share sorrows of the suffering people.
34. Don't imitate others rather do your own thing i.e. be yourself.
35. Ignore the shortcomings of others and look for your own shortcomings.
36. Always be fearful of sinning and remember that Vaheguru is witnessing all your actions. He knows even your most secret actions and He knows everything about the whole world.
37. As much as possible do good to others and never even think of harming others.
38. Whatever happens, stay happy; don't spend your life worrying.
39. Such merchants who keep their dealings clean, never see loss.
40. Keep your mind in remembrance of Parmatma Vaheguru even while you do all your worldly tasks.
41. Never forget Vaheguru Naam, which is the creator of everything.
42. The body of the 5 elements will die one day but the Atma is indestructible.
43. Consider everyone as your own form and for this reason think good for everyone.
44. I have said many Bachans of Guru to you, at least adopt some of them. Whoever will heed to these Bachans will get a glimpse (Darshan) of Vaheguru.

    • WJKK WJKF Sangat Ji, I bought a brand new medium Artisan Kirpan (8.7 inches) from https://thekhalsaraj.com/products/black-g10-ultra-durable-kirpans 2 months ago, and it is in unused condition. I bought it 2 months ago and it is in unused condition, with everything that came with it still fully sealed. I even paid extra to get it ੴ ਸਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ  laser engraved on the blade. This cost me £370 including shipping from the USA. It is in brand new condition, but I no longer need it since I have been gifted a new Buddha Dal-made Pesh Kabz for free. I am selling it for £250 even though it is in brand new condition - it is a first-hand Kirpan. From the official website, it costs £370. The handle is indestructable G10 fiberglass, wielded to a razor sharp blade (edge and tip) which is engraved with the custom Gurbani. Please reply if any Singh/Kaur here would like to buy it - it's 100% first hand but £120 reduced price. Includes a an embroidered padded case for airport travel, a blank certificate of ownership, maintenance brochure and a beautifully decorated black/grey adjustable Gatra.   I sent this advert out to a few places, and also asked some retailers if they'd like it, so it may go soon. Please do reply if anybody is interested, more than happy to answer questions too! (Note: the pic is from Google but is exactly what the Kirpan and Gatra both look like - the one I have is still in the packaging).

I've only unsheathed it once to inspect it, and I can confirm it's in perfect condition).        
    • 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
