ਹਮਰੀ ਕਰੋ ਹਾਥ ਦੈ ਰੱਛਾ ॥ ਪੂਰਨ ਹੋਇ ਚਿੱਤ ਕੀ ਇੱਛਾ ॥ ਤਵ ਚਰਨਨ ਮਨ ਰਹੈ ਹਮਾਰਾ ॥ ਅਪਨਾ ਜਾਨ ਕਰੋ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਰਾ ॥

Protect me O Lord ! with your own Hands. Please bless me so that the desire of my heart be fulfilled. Let my mind rest under your Feet; sustain me, considering me you own.

Extraordinary Sacrifice for humanity of Bhai Mati Dass Ji

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:28:49 +0000

Aurangzeb was determined to convert the entire Hindu population of India into Islam even by force. Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji (the 9th Sikh Guru of Sikhs) stood against the injustice on Hindus and it was then when Guru Ji was arrested.

Bhai Mati Dass Jiwas one of those Sikhs who were allowed by Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib to remain with him and be arrested along with him under the orders of Emperor Aurangzeb. The other two were Bhai Dyala Ji and Bhai Sati Dass Ji.

When Kazis, the learned scholars of Islam, failed to convince Guru Tegh Bahadur about the supremacy of their religion and found that the Guru was stead fast towards his own religion, they planned to terrify him. In this regard, they cut Bhai Mati Dass into two pieces with a big saw to terrify Guru Tegh Bahadur.

Bhai Mati Dass Ji while standing erect was tied between two posts. He was asked if he had any parting words, to which Bhai Mati Das answered, “I request only that my head be turned toward my Guru as I am executed.” Two executioners placed a double-handed saw on his head.

Watch the shaheedi video below:

Bhai Mati Dass serenely uttered “Ek Onkar” and started reciting the Japji Sahib, the great morning prayer of the Sikhs. He was sawn across from head to loins. Even as the body was being sawn into two, the Japji continued to reverberate from each part until it was all over.

Sikh Girls too need to mantain full identity and keep Rehat

admin — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:43:04 +0000

While the beauty of Sikhi lies in gender equality and equal freedom & rights for both the sexes(male and female), so is the order of Guru. As women enjoy equal freedom they are also under the same banner of Rehat Maryada.

Nobody neither a Male sikh or Female Sikh is waived from it. Yesterday we appealed Sikh youth (male) to wear turbans and maintain rehat, so is the rehat of kesh that has to be kept by women. Please read the wallpapaper which explains everything:

Note to sikhs: Please take the print out of above wallpaper and paste it in local gurdwaras and spread them to people so that they know what’s right

Keep Kesh Wear Turbans (Crowns) & Abandon Caps, Bandanas

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 11:18:27 +0000

On the post graduation day Dr. Gurbakhsh Singh Ji to receive his PH.D. degree from Ohio State University U.S.A, in 1963 he was wearing a turban. His fellow mates asked him to wear the graduation cap t which he refused saying:

“What’s so great in wearing a cap which we earned by just 2-3 years of effort. But the crown(his turban) Im wearing has been earned by Sikhs after 239 years(10 forms) of Guru Nanak’s effort to help us recoganise Sikhi”

The very next graduation photographs were shown at 4rth page but on the front page a photograph (featuring Dr. Gurbakhsh Singh Ji) of the National Newspaper said:

“A Sikh wearing a crown which he earned after 239 years as compared than others who are just wearing normal graduation caps earned after 2 years of effort.”

Dr. sahib did so when sikhs had just entered US (in 1963). When he could maintain his identity in such difficult times (when not much people knew us in USA) then what’s the problem of youth today. When Sikhs are easily recoganisable.

Operation bluestar was planned by Indian Government and other anti sikh forces to diminish us. But today the sikh youth is itself diminishing their identity by giving up turbans and accepting Caps, bandanas to represent themselves.

Im sorry to say but sikh males dont look a Sikh of Guru Nanak in that. So please take some inspiration from Dr. Gurbakhsh Singh Ji’s example and pledge to abandon caps and bandanas.

Sikhsangat at rebuilt Akal Takht sahib after Operation BlueStar

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:41:52 +0000

This wallpaper is of Sikh Sangat at Sri Akal Takht Sahib in 1987. This is the real spirits of Panth Khalsa who have stood up against up all. The brutalities of the Indira Gandhi regime were exposed by this most henious crime in the India History.

The Indian Government of that time had lost all mental balance and attacked the most religious shrine Sikhs. Those Sikhs whose Gurus (spiritual masters) like Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji(9th Master) and Guru Gobind Singh Ji (10th Master) sacrificed themsleves to save the culture, religion (Hindu Dharma), prestige of women (bahu/beti ki izzat) and people(Hindus) of this very India and its religion Hinduism.

After the death of Indira Gandhi even some common public lost their sense. Hindus back stabbed those Sikhs because of whom their religion (which had lost all hope of savior) was saved. Why I say Hindus back stabbed because even the common public did not save Sikhs, instead watched the brutal killing of 5,000 Sikhs on the streets of Delhi within 2 days of Indira’s death.

Shame on both the government and people (as both were and still in India are Hindu dominated). For your bodis(a small tuft in the centre of the scalp) and janeu or janou we fought and you gave this.

Punjabi Language is our mother tongue and we are proud of it. Sound good too; but when it comes to speaking our language I don’t know why most of us shy away.
