The Power of Gurbaani

by Manvir Singh Khalsa

In 1739 Nadir Shah came from Afghanistan and invaded India.

Nadir Shah plundered India’s wealth and jewels.

Nadir Shah captured thousands of innocent Hindu women and girls as slaves.

Nadir Shah would return back to Kabul with the booty of wealth and thousands of captured women to sell.

As the army entered through Panjab, the Sikhs would attack the armies at night time.

The Sikhs would raid their looted wealth and riches.

The Sikhs would free the innocent Hindu sisters and mothers and return them to their respective homes.

Nadir Shah asked Zakriya Khan, the Governor of Panjab about the Sikhs.

“Who are these people who dare to attack my soldiers and plunder me”, he asked.

Zakriya Khan replied,

‘These are the followers of man called, ‘Guru Nanak’, their homes are their saddles and they visit their holy shrine in the middle of the night and disappear before the first light of day.’

Nadir Shah asked, ‘What gives them their strength to dare them to challenge me and my large armies?’

Zakriya Khan replied,

‘Their Guru has given them Amrit, ‘the water of immortality’, those who drink and bathe in this become fearless of death’.

Nadir Shah cheerfully said,

‘We will stop them taking Amrit’

‘We will destroy their Amrit’

‘We will poison their sarowars (pools of water)’

Zakriya Khan replied,

‘We cannot take away their Amrit. When they are near water and recite their Gurbaani then even that water becomes Amrit.’

‘So we will take away their Gurbaani! We will destroy their Gurbaani an

d burn their Sacred Granth so that they cannot make Amrit’, said Nadir Shah.

Zakriya Khan said,

‘We cannot take away their Gurbaani…’

‘Their Guru is always with them.’

‘Their Guru is in the form of the Shabad (Divine Word)’

‘Gurbaani resides with the Sikhs of the Guru.’

Nadir Shah then said,

‘One day these Sikhs will be the masters of the land.’

‘jh swDU goibd Bjnu kIrqnu nwnk nIq ] xw hau xw qUM xh Cutih inkit n jweIAhu dUq ]1] Where the Holy people constantly vibrate the Keertan of the Praises of the Lord of the Universe, O Nanak – the Righteous Judge (Recorder of Karma) says, ""Do not approach that place, O Messenger of Death (Death), or else neither you nor I shall escape [from Waheguru]!""||1||’ (Ang. 256)

Gurbani is love, which joins us with the supreme love.

Gurbani is the divine truth, which joins us with the Greater Truth.

Gurbani is an ocean of jewels, which makes us realise the jewels within us.

The Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the king of kings because it is the ultimate truth.

The Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the king of kings because its inspirational message is eternal.

The Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the king of kings because it is the living voice and light of Nanak Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

‘vwhu vwhu bwxI inrMkwr hY iqsu jyvfu Avru n koie ] The Word of the True Guru's Bani is the embodiment of Truth; through Gurbani, one becomes perfect.’ (Ang 304)

Be inspired and inspire others.

May Waheguru bless you.

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
