Is our Ardaas subject to change in the future ?


Recommended Posts

Yesterday an amrithdari visited my mama ji's house and told my cousins that some people are trying to change the ardaas but the ardaas shud not be changed until khalsa panth takes a decision on it.

My cousins are really confused and their faith on ardaas has decreased as they are thinking that this ardaas might have some mistakes and could be changed in the future.

What shud I do to restore the faith of my cousins in our Ardaas ?

The amritdhari Sikh is right, there are people trying to change the ardaas.

The Ardaas begins with the first pauri of Vaar Sri Bhagauti ji ki, in which Guru Gobind Singh ji first remembers Bhagauti, which is either God or God's power (depending upon how you interpret it), and then the 9 Gurus prior to Guru Gobind Singh ji.

The problem is the anti-Dasam Granth crew will stop at nothing to create problems and dissension where there is none.

And they are trying to either remove that pauri, or to slyly change "Pritham bhagauti simar kai" to something like "Pritham Satnam simar kai", which is heresy because you can't change a line of Gurbani.

You can, however, slightly modify the lines that come afterward. That's why sometimes you hear some additional lines like "puthian khallan luhaian", which are not in the SGPC-printed ardaas.

Your cousins are exactly the kind of innocent Sikhs that the missionaries are trying to target in order to sow confusion among the Sikhs.

Once the Sikhs lose faith in Ardaas, they won't pray before Guru Sahib, and consequently, they'll lose faith in Guru ji, too. Which is OK with them, because they think that Guru Nanak Dev ji is dead. So why do ardaas to someone/something that doesn't even exist?

Tough question. It's strange that they lost faith so quickly. I mean if random person comes up to you and says your dad really isn't your dad, will you believe him just on his say-so?

My cousins are very bholle bhaale and havent chakked amrit. When they meet someone with open beard and amritdhari, they kind of really believe that person.

I would empasise that the last change Guru Gobind Singhji's Khalsa did to add Guru Pita into the ardas and the transition to Jug jug ATal Guru Granth Sahib ji as Guru . Maybe we can look up all the shaheedian mentioned in the ardas and those who question puttiaan khalaan luvainaan is referring to Singh who was made shaheed bu mughals for not picking up guttadi of hookah and tabacco they hung him upside down and skinned him alive . If we know these sakhian then we keep their memories and sacrifices alive  and our faith remains alive . SGPC have done a few things to diminish sikhi and its parchaar including printing RSS distorted 'history' books so I would take anything they say and do with pinch of salt

"Is the ardaas subject to change?"" -- Yes 

The liturgy of ardas despite its immense significance is not gurbani per se in its entirety. Vaar Sri Bhagauti is attributed to Guru Gobind Singh ji maharaj and is found in dasam granth sahib. However only from start till "Teg bahadar simrae nau nidh aave thaae . sab thaai hoa ji sahae"

Lines, including and proceeding from "Dasve patshah Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji sab thaai hona ji sahae ...." are addition by gursikhs.

Then we remember the martyrs , our resolve and so on and then we also mention separation of Nanakana sahib , which means the current ardas couldn't have possibly been written before 1947 . 

If in future we have (and we most likely will) a dramatic increase in shaheedi incidents, those probably will  also be included .

    • 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.
