The Story of Bibi Rajni

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ki Fateh!

I hope all the sangat are keeping well at this uncertain time.

I was wondering if the sangat could help me. I was reading the beautiful story about Bibi Rajni and her exemplary faith in god even when she was dealing with such adversities. It was a really pleasing story and all the more beautiful to come to know about the creation of Harimandir Sahib and the sarovar surrounding it.

This led me to watch the film "Dukh Bhanjan Tera Naam"  that had some stellar actors in it for its time. However from the story, there seemed to have some innaccuracies that I wanted other peoples thoughts and opinions on. I can't say I am too surprised for there to be some fabrication of truths in the film, especially from the indian film industry but some perspective would still be nice.

  • They portray Duni Chand as a maharaja, whereas literature states that he is revenue collector "Kardar"
  • There is also a portion in the movie where they go to Maa Chintapurni, and it is there where Bibi Rajni's husband appears to have the revelation of the lake (sarovar) where his leprosy can be cured. I cannot find any mention of this anywhere in any literature.

I fully appreciate that the film may have added certain portions in the film to suit a political narrative of that time and also to attract people to attract a certain demographic. If there is anyone who could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to apologise to anyone in the sangat for my ignorance from this post and also if I have offended anybody.

It's a nice old film that one. I guess they wanted the film to appeal to the wider Hindu audience so they added those particular scenes. There is no mention of Chintpurni in Bibi Rajnis story. There's also a scene where a snake around Shivas statue bites the rapist etc    I guess you can see the mata Chintpurni scene as, whatever power mata Chintpurni had she indicated that Guru Aamardas/Ramdas is the only and true cure, if she herself had the power she could of cured them herself ...

Bibi Rajnis story is one of the most beautiful in out ithiaas.

    • 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.
