I heard there was an eyewitness account of Baba Deep Singh Ji slaying papis from an afghan soldier complaining to his king that we can kill the Singhs that are alive, but not those who are dead. The name attributed to this work is "Tehmas Khan". Does anyone know what language that book is in? Does it even exist? Where could I find a copy? It seems a little suspicious that an afghan would record an event like this.

 

Thanks.

Search for "Tahmasp Khan" on the internet and you may find his autobiography. He was a Persian General in Nader Shah's army.

Tazkirah-i-miskin is the name of the book. It was written by tehmas khan miskin and this is apparently preserved at the British museum in London. Professor Sukhpreet Singh Udoke apparently has a video on this as well. Gonna research this tommorow, seams pretty interesting.

I was watching a basics of sikhi video on Baba Deep Singh ji and someone named Giani Sukhraj Singh went to Cambridge university and saw accounts written by the British during the time of Baba Gurbaksh Singh ji from Damdami taksal about 14-18 sikhs being decapitated but still fighting. Anyone here go to Cambridge university and can confirm this? If you can send a picture of the page.

Sorry I’m new to this platform so I’m getting messed up with writing a bit. Search up “Tahmasnama” instead. There’s a few other titles of the book also but I’m pretty sure the tahmasnama posted online was edited by some people to make it more “historically accurate”. I am searching for mentions of it elsewhere and perhaps a word for word translation of an old copy of this text. This could all just be heresay but it’s not a big thing going around so I am assuming it’s not.

A fresh translation is in Grewal and Habib's Persian Sources of Sikh history.  I don't recalling reading anything like you mention in that myself.

    • 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.
    • Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
    • First of all, while it's true that Gurbani says slandering a Saint has such-and-such effects, you can't do the reverse: You can't look and your situation and know for certain what caused it. We're not encouraged to mope over our situations but rather to accept the hukam (will). The last line of the very first pauri of Japji Sahib says to live in hukam: ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ hukam rajāī chalanā nānak likhiā nāl .1. O Nanak! By obeying, the pre-ordained order of the Lord's will. Secondly, the astpadhi from which you quoted the Sant ka dokhi verses has this verse at the end: ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਪਨ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇਇ ॥ jis nō kripā karai tis āpan nām dēi . God gives His Name to those unto whom He shows His mercy. So ask for his mercy. Also check out the 7th Astpadi, which talks about the good effects of the sangat of a Sadhu: https://khojgurbani.com/shabad/271/709?highlighted_scripture_id=12007&highlighted_scripture_lang=gurmukhi&selected_content=gurbani I'm not getting into who is a "true" Sadhu in this post.
    • In langar it should be common sense for peopel to find a suitable space to sit. Normally in my local Singh Sabha gurdwara, there is enough space to sit, so I am able to find a space with enough space away from other people. There have been a few times, where there has been a lot of sangat and I have been forced onto a table.  In Slough and Southall Singh Sabha, Park Avenue, I will just sit near another group of men unless I am with family, but again there shouldn't be strict gender separation and instead common sense logic.
    • Yeh I could do to be honest. It's not really chardikala to be coming from the diwan hall and then sangat putting on shoes to go langar. I like sitting in the gurdwara with family, and there are spaces for this in bigger gurdwaras such as Slough, Southall, Coventry. In my current local area gurdwaras this is not really possible for weekly sangat, and also not for sangrand and gurpurb. Need to complain about these tendikalaUK practices  to be UK chardikala Singhs!
