Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Why did Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji Maharaj get "sick"?

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

To those who had seen the sick and the suffering being healed by Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji, it was incomprehensible as to why should the great Healer suffer from the same disease.

The first to lament and pose this question was a young Sikh disciple who asked, "Maharaj, saviour of the world, your glance and benediction cured the suffering and sickness of hundreds of people. You are the dispeller of sorrow and pain, whose glance and touch healed everyone. Why has this suffering come to you?"

Guru Sahib smiled at his beloved Sikh and replied. The suffering of "self consecration or the martyrdom of the Guru is in the redemptive spirit. The Guru is one with God's Light and Presence. His body, mind and soul never suffer any pain or sorrow, but he has to take upon himself the suffering of the human world in a human way. All great prophets and saints found the greatest joy in enduring the unendurable, in sharing the agony of fellow beings for the love of God. Even physical suffering is accepted by them as the gift of grace. To lessen other people's suffering is an act of compassion and charity but to suffer for the fulfilment of God's Will is an Apostle's response to the supreme love of God."

For those who call themselves Sikhs

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

For those who call themselves Sikhs

A. Are you the Sikhs of that Plume-adorned Divine Master (Kalgidhar Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji), who sacrificed everything for the sake of your seeds’ continuity and prosperity?

B. Are you the descendants of those Great Shaheeds who, for the sake of Sikhi, were sawed and scalped alive, dismembered alive, broken on the wheels, boiled alive, hung their heads at spears, fighting tyranny underwent unbearable and unspeakable sufferings, but didn’t leave the faith, kept the Complete Divine Image intact (ie kept the Divine Hair) and didn’t let Sikhi get any spot of dirt?

C. Are you the sons/daughters of those brave warriors mothers, who let their innocent children get cut into pieces and taken into their laps, and their bodyparts adorned with flowers, and put 1,25 maunds of powder (bombs?) in the black houses of the tyrants, and fought side-by-side with their mighty warrior brothers, and kept their wifely duties and duties towards Sikhi with Keshan-Suasan [being steadfast with both Body-Hair and Soul-Breath]?

D. Are you the you the brothers and sisters of the Adutti-Bhuchangian [ie Amazing ’Small’ Beloved Warriors] like Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh, who remained steadfast till their last breath, didn’t leave their faith, didn’t kill their hair and didn’t become non-religious, and didn’t bring shame upon the Sikhi BaNaa-Dress, as willingly accepted to be stacked alive in walls?

If you call yourself the Sikh of Guru Nanak-Guru Gobind Singh Ji, then:

1. Why are you letting your Guru’s Name down?

2. Why are you being disrespectful to your hair?

3. Why are you destroying your Complete Divine Image (Sabat Surat)?

4. Why are you indulging in sins?

5. Why are you turning your face away from Sikhi?

6. Why are you becoming a fallen (Patit)?

7. Why are you forgetting Sikh Code (Rehat)?

8. Why leaving Naam-Rass, the pleasure of Name, in the favor of the pleasure of drugs?

9. Why are you indulging in sexual wastes/sexual habits?

10. Why are you leaving the path of Gurmat, and turning towards path of human mind (manmukhta)?

11. Why are you indulging in petty acts and thereby ’making your turban dirty’ (ie loosing your respect)?

12. Why are you indulging in manmats?

13. Why are you loosing your uniqueness (Vilankhanta)?

14. Why don’t you recognize your real self?

15. Why have the children of lions forgotten their uniqueness and engaged with sheep? They have started saying ’main main’ (the sound made by sheep)?

Oh Sikhs of the Guru! Be Cautious and Keep intact your Identity, Become Guru-Valeh (GurSikhs). Bring Such a Reform so that all your generations have bliss. Lost Time will not come back!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

When will you wake up to your religious duties?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

We appeal before the Khalsa community and the government that the present committee for the management of the Golden Temple is neither based on the principles of the Khalsa panth nor on government legislation. If this committee was constituted on the basis of the Khalsa religion, its membership would have been made up of only the Khalsa. But at present this is not that case as Raja Harbans Singh, a committee member, is a Hindu, who professes beliefs contrary to that of a Khalsa, for instance idol worship. Similarly the deputy commissioner, another committee member, is a Christian. What benefit can accrue to the Khalsa community from having a Hindu Raja and a Christian deputy commissioner on the management body of its shrine? It is rather ironic that the gurudwara belongs to the community but its management it presided over by a deputy commissioner…As pointed out previously, the setting up of such a committee is not contravention of government legislation. The administration is not supposed to interfere in religious matters. Yet, a government official has been appointed as the president of a Khalsa gurudwara…Therefore we implore both the Khalsa community and the administration that this committee be improved and reconstituted. Oh Khalsa! When will you wake up to your religious duties? Do you not care for your scared shrines?

"Punjabi Suba Zindabad"

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I have wanted to do a post on Punjabi Suba for a long time now. During my reading I came across this eyewitness account by Michael Brecher some time ago.

“First came the Sikhs in the most impressive – and peaceful – demonstration I have ever seen. Hour after hour and mile after mile they marched, eight abreast, down the main street of Amritsar, a hallowed name in Indian nationalism because of the shootings of 1919. Old and young, men and women, they came in an endless stream, most with an expression and sadness in their eyes, many still remembering the ghastly days of 1947 when their homeland was cut in two and hundreds of thousands fled before the Muslims, and when thousands of their co-religionists died or were maimed. What strength there was in the appearance of the older men who, with their flowing beards, looked like the Hebrew prophets of old! Many carried their traditional sword, the Kirpan, and many wore blue turbans, symbol of Sikh militancy. They had come from the villages and towns of the Punjab and from far-off places as well. Almost without exception they marched in an orderly file, portraying their unity of purpose. At intervals came the resounding cry, ‘Punjabi Suba Zindabad’ (Long live Punjabi Suba) and Master Tara Singh Zindabad, with intermittent music to enliven the proceedings. On they came, for five hours. Few watched them could doubt their genuine fear of being swallowed up in the vice-like embrace of rabid Hinduism. By conservative estimate they numbered 100,000. To this observer it seemed more like double that figure.”

Indian police attacked Darbar Sahib in 1955 for the first time, walked inside with shoes on, arrested Sikhs, disrespected Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Gurdwara Paonta Sahib was attacked in Himachal Pradesh where 16 Sikhs were shot dead inside the Gurdwara. Is this any different that British attacking Gurdwara Rakaab Ganj Sahib?

Hindus were given five days to get their anger out after Punjabi Suba was created. Sikhs were attacked in Haryana, Himachal, MP and other places. Hindus shouted slogans:

sUbI kw mjw cKWeyNgy, vwhgw pwr pucwieNgy [ aUVw eIVI nhI pVyNgy, jUVw jUVI kwt DryNgy [

Mughal killed Sikh children and today's Indian government is no different. A 10 years old Sikh boy Inderjit Singh was peacefully shouting the slogan "Punjabi Suba Jindabad" when he was thrown in the well and killed by indian police.

Those who call India their homeland need to pay a little visit to Sikh history and realize that though time has changed but situation, oppression and black laws against Sikhs have not changed. Those who do not learn from their history only live in history books.

A Glimpse of Khalsa Raj

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

In spite of Bahadhur Shah's provocative orders of outright extirpation of the Sikhs, Baba Banda Singh Bahadhur Ji according to the royal newswriter, while at Kalanaur in April 1711, has promised and proclaimed:

"We do not oppress muslims or oppose Islam, but only tyranny and upsurpation of power. Accordingly, for any muslim who approaches him, he fixes a daily allowance and wages, and looks after him. He has permitted them to recite Khutba and Namaz. As such five hundred Muslims have gathered around him. Having entered into his friendship, they are free to shout their call - bang - and say their prayers - namaz - in the army of the wretched (Sikhs)".

Relying upon You, I can live even in the cursed place of Magahar; You have put out the fire of my body.

First, I obtained the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan in Magahar; then, I came to dwell at Benares. 2

ਜੈਸਾ ਮਗਹਰੁ ਤੈਸੀ ਕਾਸੀ ਹਮ ਏਕੈ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਨੀ ॥

jaisaa magehar thaisee kaasee ham eaekai kar jaanee

As is Magahar, so is Benares; I see them as one and the same.

Virdev Singh Baghel, the king of Kashi, had constructed a beautiful palace. Everybody used to praise the palace.

King Virdev Singh was well aware of Bhagat Kabir ji’s spiritual glory. He had a fervent desire that Bhagat Kabir ji should visit the palace. He made persistent entreaties and finally managed to get Bhagat Kabir ji to accede to his request.

When Bhagat Kabir ji was about to leave after seeing the palace, the king enquired expectantly, “Your Holiness! What did you think about the palace?” The king expected Bhagat Kabir ji to praise the palace, but on the contrary, Bhagat Kabir ji said, “There are two major flaws in this palace.”

The King was shocked. He brooded, “I am the king of Kashi and there are two flaws in my palace!”

The king’s ego was deeply hurt. While everyone heartily praised the palace, here was Bhagat Kabir ji saying it had two major flaws. He asked, “Your Holiness! Please tell me what the two flaws are so that I may get them rectified at the earliest.”

“You cannot set them right,” Bhagat Kabir Ji said.

Bhagat Kabir ji was reluctant to elaborate but when the king insisted, he finally relented and said, “The palace has been built with great effort but the first flaw is that it will not accompany the owner after his death nor will the owner be able to live in the palace forever. The second flaw is that in due course of time the palace is destined to be reduced to ruins.”

It was as if the king had been slapped on his face. He felt hurt and his ego was bruised badly but Bhagat Kabir ji’s darshan, satsang and benign grace soon made him realise the truth, ‘What Bhagat Kabir ji says is absolutely true. I will not be able to live in this palace forever, nor will it accompany me at the time of death, and surely a time will come when the palace will turn into debris.’ He fell prostrate at Bhagat Kabirj i’s feet and became his devotee forever.

When Bhagat Kabir ji was about to depart from this world, he declared, “The work assigned to this body has been completed. Now it is time to get rid of this outer covering for which I will go to Magahar.”

When Virdev Singh was informed of this, he came running to Bhagat Kabir ji and pleaded, “Your Holiness! I had resolved that I would abandon my kingdom and serve you for five years in order to receive your spiritual grace. I had the desire to clean your cottage with my own hands, fetch water from the holy Ganges for you and knead the dough with my own hands to prepare rotis for you. I wanted to tread the path of God-realization under your benign tutelage, but I am utterly shocked to learn that you are going to Magahar for your final journey.”

Bhagat Kabir ji said, “It is too late, O King of Kashi!”

The water of the Ganges is flowing continuously. If you want you can take a dip in the holy waters. It is impossible to take a dip again in the same water that has already flowed past. So is the case with Saints and their satsang. When you come in the vicinity of a Saint, avail yourself of the opportunity right then and there. If you don’t, you will have to grieve over the lost opportunity.

The local populace were surprised to note that Bhagat Kabir ji wanted to leave his body at Magahar. People would come to Kashi during their last days and here Bhagat Kabir ji was leaving Kashi for Magahar.

People in general believe that if one breathes ones last in Kashi, one will attain salvation whereas dying in Magahar would only lead one to hell. Bhagat Kabir ji disregarded such popular superstitions in order to enlighten the people about the Supreme glory of the Lord’s grace and decided to discard his body at Magahar. When they came to know of this announcement, many Mullahs and pandits, accosted Bhagat Kabir ji and said, “All through your life you have been critical of us.”

‘If by worshipping a stone I could attain the Lord, I will rather worship a mountain. Better is the grinding stone that is useful in grinding grains to eat.'

‘Joining stones with mortar; They raise a high mosque, climbing to the top then, the Mullah shouts his prayer, but tell me O Mullah, Is the Lord deaf?’

Throughout your life, you have refuted our views. Lest the consequent sins should take you to hell, we suggest that you better spend your last days in Kashi that may ensure your emancipation after death.

Bhagat Kabir ji said, “No! Not at all! It is not that I shall attain salvation if I leave my body in Kashi and will be sent to hell if I breathe my last at Magahar. All places in this world belong to the Lord. Devotion to the Lord is of utmost import. Then how does it matter where a person breathes his last?

A person, with a cruel and unyielding mind having no devotion towards God, cannot escape hell even if he dies in Kashi. Then how can one, who is devoted to God, be born as a donkey, just because he died in Magahar? Not only will he himself be emancipated, but he will also enable his relatives, friends and followers to attain salvation.

ਜੈਸਾ ਮਗਹਰੁ ਤੈਸੀ ਕਾਸੀ ਹਮ ਏਕੈ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਨੀ ॥

jaisaa magehar thaisee kaasee ham eaekai kar jaanee

As is Magahar, so is Benares; I see them as one and the same.

In those days, it was believed that Magahar was afflicted with two curses: one was that anyone dying in Magahar would be reborn as a donkey and the second was that Magahar would always be in scarcity of water. To shatter these false beliefs Bhagat ji went to Magahar. It is said that once Bhagat Kabir ji set his foot in Magahar, the local river, Aami, that used to flow only during the rainy season started flowing throughout the year.

One of the holiest city for the Hindus is Kanshi, which is also known as Banaras. Both Banaras and Kanshi are the names of the same city. Banaras is the commercial name of this city while Kanshi is the religious or Dharmik name of this city.

Devout Hindus believe that whoever dies in Kanshi goes straight to Shivpuri. Shivpuri is a place above Swarag (heaven) but much below Sach Khand. This is the place where Shiva the Hindu lord resides.

The bhagats of Shiva prefer to die in Kanshi, so that they may go straight to Shivpuri. In olden days, there were Karvats (cutting saw) in Kanshi, where old people used to pay Pandits to get cut by Karvat. They believed that if they give their life in Kanshi, they would go to Shivpuri. Pandits used to take away all the money of people committing suicide there. They used to promise them Shivpuri after death. Kanshi was the suicide capital of the world in those days.

Maghar is another city, that is not far from Kanshi. It is said that Vishvamitra the famous Hindu sage, planned to build a parallel city to Kanshi, where people who die would go to a higher dimension. Vishwamitra announced that whoever would die in Maghar would go to a higher destination than even Shivpuri.

People had great reverence for Vishwamitra and were aware of his spiritual power. They flocked to Maghar hoping to die there and go to a higher destination. A lot of people from Kanshi too started moving to Maghar and this infuriated Shiva very much as he was losing devotees to Vishwamitra.

Shiva and Vishnu devised a very good plan. I am not sure who was despatched with the duty to foil Vishwamitra’s plans to make Maghar the centre of the Hindu world but who ever went there was very shrewd and cunning. That person disguised as a poor and wretched person, went to Maghar to see Vishwamitra and asked him, “Maharishi jee, is it true that if I die in Maghar, I would go to a very high destination?”

Vishwamitra was very pleased to hear this and said, “Yes my son, if you die here, I promise that you will not go to hell and will go to a place higher than Shivpuri”.

About five minutes later that poor person approached Vishwamitra again and asked, “If I die here at Maghar, where will I go?”

Vishwamitra was very busy at that time and was a little annoyed hearing this person repeat his question again. He said, “My dear son, I already told you and I don't like to repeat again and again you will become someone higher than even the angels and will reside in a very beautiful place, above Shivpur”.

That guy left and came back again just few minutes later and accosted Vishwamitra who was very busy at that time. He asked the same question, “So Maharishi jee, what will I become if I die here at Maghar?”

Vishwamitra is known for his short temper. Great kings even, feared Vishwamitra and never did anything to upset him. Even Siri Krishna used to fear Vishwamitra for his maledictions. The whole generation and family of Siri Krishna was destroyed because of the curse of Vishwamitra. The Kauravs and Paandavs feared him and so did the Gandaars and Maghad Naresh. The only person who fixed Vishwamitra was King Amreek.

Anyway, when Vishwamtra heard that this highly stupid looking person had repeated his question to him, he angrily said, “Oye moorakh Nar, jo bhee yahaan maraega, voh Gardhab banaega” (O stupid rascal, whoever dies here will became a donkey in his next life”.

As soon as Vishwamitra said this, the poor person gave him a victory smile and disappeared from there. He had accomplished what he had come for. He took bachan from Maharishi Vishwamitra that whoever dies in Maghar would become a donkey. When other people heard about Vishwamitra’s bachan, they too fled the city. Kanshi again became the darling city of all Hindus.

So it is the faith of the Hindus that whoever dies in Maghar becomes a donkey and whoever dies in Kanshi goes to Shivpuri.

Indian Justice

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

'Khalsa Ji, one gets justice out of inquiries when there is room for legal representation, argument, and appeal. Here (under Indian Government) it is outright injustice. They have decided to annihilate the Sikhs, to insult their turban, to destroy their Faith. Under this situation, why do you need to use a lawyer and appeal?'

'Khalsa Ji, what assurance, what justice, what fairness can you expect from a Government, from courts, which no longer trust people, which have lost all faith in men and trust only dogs? How can you expect justice from them? Those who have no faith in men, those who have no faith in the legal process, in reasoning, and in appeal to conscience of the perpetrators; those who only trust dogs, but if the dogs point to their own house as the source of crime, they don't trust the dogs either.'

Sant Gyani Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale speaking about Indian Justice.

Bhagat Puran Singh on Bhagti

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

1. If you make your morning, you've made your day. Don't be irritated by trivial matters. Make sure you take time in the morning for silent, solitary reflection.
2. Daily have a talk with God. He is a true friend and "It is so natural to discuss with a friend your ambitions and aspirations, your plans and programmes, your failures and frustrations and ask him to help you". We may not be able to at first see him or hear him, but be certain that he does see and hear you. We will meet God only when he is sure that "your truly need Him and nothing besides."
3. Prayer is not easy: "A holy man driving a car, met a beggar on the way. The beggar exclaimed, "If only I too became a holy man, a man of prayer, I would have a car!""Prayer is not that easy" said the holy man. "If you say too(n) thaakur tum pai ardaas... with a concentated mind, the car (and much more) can belong to you""Wonderful!" Said the astonished beggar. Joining his hands and closing his eyes he said the prayer aloud, "Too(n) thakur tum pai ardaas. Jeeo pind sabhi teree raas..."Suddenly in mid prayer, his eyes opened up and he asked, "Shall I have a garage along with car? Else where would I keep it???" Moral: concentrated prayer is not an easy task.
4. Make God your life partner: He can be a partner in your daily life and all activities and miracles can happen. Rest assured that there is no problem which you and God cannot solve together and no situation you cannot handle together.
5. A loving relationship is based on a feeling of being needed. Think about when you have felt closest to someone. It is quite possibly a time when you have been needed by them. Feeling needed and wanted is something that fosters love not only between humans but also with God. When God knows you need him and only him and have no other support, he will then come to you.
