GURU GOBIND SINGH JI FORMED KHALSA

Zafarnama

on, this treacherous leader could not harm the Guru. Guru Ji states in this letter that in spite of his several sufferings, he had won a moral victory over the crafty Mughal who had broken all his vows and had resorted to uZafarnama (Gurmukhi: ਜ਼ਫ਼ਰਨਾਮਹ or ਜ਼ਫ਼ਰਨਾਮਾ, Persian: ظٝرنام۝) means the "Declaration of Victory" and is the name given to the letter sent by the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh in 1705 to the Emperor of India, Aurangzeb. The letter is written in exquisite Persian verse. In this letter, Guru Ji reminds Aurangzeb how he and his henchmen had broken their oaths taken on the holy Koran. Zafarnama is included in Hikayats and it's the first Hikayat.
Despite this deceptinderhand behaviour. Despite sending a huge army to capture or kill the Guru, the Mughal forces did not succeed in their mission.


Guru Gobind Singh

Guru Gobind Singh ji (Gurmukhi: ਗ੝ਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ) (Friday, January 5, 16661, in Patna, Bihar, India - Thursday, 21 October, 1708) was born "Gobind Rai" and was the tenth and last of the ten human form Gurus of Sikhism. He became Guru on November 24, 1675 at the age of nine, following in the footsteps of his father Guru Teg Bahadur ji.
Before Guru ji left his mortal body for his heavenly abode, he nominated Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji (SGGS) as the next perpetual Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Gobind Singh molded the Sikh religion into its present shape, with the formation of the Khalsa fraternity and completion of the Guru Granth Sahib
Guru Gobind Singh Ji infused the spirit of both sainthood and soldier in the minds and hearts of his followers to fight oppression in order to restore justice, peace, righteousness (Dharma) and to uplift the down-trodden people in this world.
It is said that after the martyrdom of his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, the tenth Master declared that he would create such a Panth (community/society), which would challenge the tyrant rulers in every walk of life to restore justice, equality and peace for all of mankind. As a prophet, the Guru is unique.
His teachings are very scientific and most suitable for all times. Unlike many other prophets he never called himself God or 'the only son of God.' Instead he called all people the sons of God sharing His Kingdom equally. For himself he used the word 'slave' or servant of God.
"Those who call me God, will fall into the deep pit of hell. Regard me as one of his slaves and have no doubt whatever about it. I am a servant of the Supreme Being; and have come to behold the wonderful drama of life."
Extracts from Guru Gobind Singh's writings;
"God has no marks, no colour, no caste, and no ancestors, No form, no complexion, no outline, no costume and is indescribable.
He is fearless, luminous and measureless in might. He is the king of kings, the Lord of the prophets.
He is the sovereign of the universe, gods, men and demons. The woods and dales sing the indescribable.
O Lord, none can tell Thy names. The wise count your blessings to coin your names." (Jaap Sahib) Gobind Rai was born with a holy mission of which he tells us in his autobiography “Bachitar Natak” (Wonderous Drama). In it Guru Ji tells us how and for what purpose he was sent into this world by God. He states that before he came into this world , as a free spirit he was engaged in meditation in the seven peaked Hemkunt mountain. Having merged with God and having become One with the Unmanifest and the Infinite, God commanded him: 

“I have cherished thee as my Son, and created thee to establish a religion and restrain the world from senseless acts. I stood up, folded my hands, bowed my head and replied,‘Thy religion will prevail in all the world, when it has Thy support’.”
Guru Ji describes the purpose of his coming to this world and why he emerged from the Supreme Reality in human form to carry out his Creator’s command :
“For this purpose was I born, let all virtuous people understand. I was born to advance righteousness, to emancipate the good, and to destroy all evil-doers root and branch.”

Guru's Bani

Main article: Bani of Guru Gobind Singh

"Without the support of the One Name, Consider all religious ceremonies superstitions."

"Karta (The Creator) and Karim (The beneficient) are the names of the same God.
Razak (The provider) and Rahim (The merciful) are also the names given to Him.
Let no man in his error wrangle over differences in names.
Worship the One God who is the Lord of all. Know that his form is one and He is the One light diffused in all."


"The Khalsa is my own image. I shall always manifest myself in the Khalsa.
The Khalsa is my body and soul; The Khalsa is the life of my life.
The Khalsa is my perfect leader. The Khalsa is my brave friend.
I say nothing untrue and to this; Guru Nanak, united with God, is my witness."

"Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it.
Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death.
Son, Wife, friends, disciples, companions none of those will bear witness for thee.
Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone." (Swayya 3
2)






The Battle

It was May 1705. The Sikhs engaged the Mughal forces. A large number of Sikhs who were lighting on the Eastern side of the mound were giving way to pressure from the Royal armies when all at once the forty deserters charged and cut off the ambitious band of attackers. The Guru also sent reinforcements, He showered arrows from his strategic position on the mound, down on the Imperial army, killing a number of them. The resistance of the Sikhs became so fierce that the invaders were completely demoralized. The enemy became restive for want of water. It was not possible for them to reach the lake of Khidrana. As it was semi-desert terrain and the summer heat was reaching its peak Guru Ji knew of its importance and based his defences around the water hole. The only water they could get was fifteen miles behind them. Thirst and oppressive heat, and the tough resistance offered by the Sikhs, compelled the Mughal army to retreat.
Water sources, points of communication and maintenance in the desert or semi-desert terrain are few and far apart, hence strategically important. Defence should therefore be based on or around axis of maintenance with an aim to deny the opposing forces accessibility to them.
Employment of fresh troops in order to maintain the momentum of attack against an exhausted and bruised enemy invariably disorganises and demoralises him. Only a 300 strong cavalry contingent for fresh troops attacked a thirsty and exhausted enemy numbering 16,000. This had a dramatic effect on the outcome of the battle.
Some 250 soldiers of the Khalsa engaged an enemy of 20,000 strong for the whole day. The enemy no doubt put each one to death, but in the bargain left approximately four thousand dead or wounded in the day long battle.
The 40 men who had disavowed their Guru, by afixing their thumbprints, were led by the great female general Mai Bhago had brought such damage onto the Mughal force of 10 000 strong, they had no option but to retreat. At the end of the battle, when Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was looking for survivors, Mai Bhago, who was lying wounded, greeted him. She told him how the forty deserters had valiantly laid down their lives fighting in the battlefield. Guru Saheb was greatly touched by her sense of remorse, self-sacrifice, and heroism. Mai Bhago recovered and remained in the Guru's presence after the battle of Muktsar.
After the defeat of the enemy at the battle of Muktsar, the Mughals realised the futility of their efforts and became so badly demoralised that they altogether gave up. Automatically, hostility towards Guru Sahib Ji and the Khalsa army vanished never to resurface again as long as Guru ji was alive.

Torn Bedawa

When Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji along with his Sikhs were collecting the dead bodies for cremation, he found one man named Mahan Singh still clinging to life. On seeing the Guru, he made an effort to rise, the Guru at once took him in his embrace, and sat down with him. Mahan Singh, tearful and exhausted, requested the great Master to destroy the Bedahwa the letter disclaiming his being a Sikh of the Guru. Before Mahan Singh died his merciful Guru took the document and tore it up. Showing infinite mercy towards his followers he named the 40     deserters who had fought until there last breath, after returning to Sri Anandpur Sahib and fighting for their beloved Guru, the Chali  (40 liberated ones).
Then Guru Ji moved towards the South to meet with Aurangzeb.

GURU TEG BAHADUR SIMERIA KHAR NAO NIDH AVE THAHI


Guru Tegh Bahadur

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦੁਰ) (Wednesday, April 18, 1621 - Wednesday, November 24, 1675) was the ninth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism, becoming Guru on Saturday, 16 April 1664 following in the footsteps of his grand-nephew, Guru Har Krishan. Before his epic challenge of Aurangzeb's policy of forced religious conversion, the Guru Sahib had nominated his son, Gobind Rai as the 10th Guru of the Sikhs
Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji is the ninth Guru of the Sikhs. He was the youngest son of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji. He was born on April 1st, 1621 at Amritsar. His mother was Bibi Nanki Ji. His birth name was Tyag Mal but keeping in view his courage and bravery, he was named Tegh Bahadur. At the time of his eternal rest, Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji bowed down saying, "Baba Bakale" ie. My successor is at Bakala.

The Mughal Emperor of India, Aurangzeb, attempted to consolidate India into one Islamic nation. In order to achieve this aim, he set out to virtually eliminate Hinduism from India. When the ninth Guru Ji heard of this from a desperate group of Hindus, he challenged the Emperor that, in order to convert all the Hindus, the Guru himself would have to embrace Islam. He offered to sacrifice everything for the cause of righteousness. As a result the Guru was imprisoned at the request of Aurangzeb in 1675, Three devout Sikhs who accompanied the Guru were arrested and martyred in front of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji at Delhi.
Bhai Mati Das Ji
Bhai Sati Das Ji
Bhai Dyala Ji


Despite being forced to watch the torture and execution of these disciples, the Guru Ji simply refused to concede to the Emperor's demand. The Emperor Aurangzeb gave Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji three options.

1) To embrace Islam,
2) To perform miracles
3) Be ready for death.

Finally, the Guru preferred the latter. His head was chopped off publicly at Chandni Chowk in Delhi on November 11th, 1675 for being a protector of fundamental human rights. Unparalleled in the history of humankind, the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji was an act of sacrifice for another religious community. The Guru Ji's martyrdom served to awaken the collective conscience of the Sikh community, which was about to undergo a final transformation in the years to follow.

The headless body was taken away by Bhai Lakhi Shah Vanjara Ji who cremated it respectfully at his place in Delhi on November 12th, 1675. Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib Ji was erected at this location to commemorate the incidence. The Severed head of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji was then presented respectfully to, Guru Gobind Singh Ji by Bhai Jaita Ji at Sri Anandpur Sahib Ji in Punjab. Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib Ji has been erected inside the town of Anandpur Sahib Ji where the severed and revered head of the Guru Ji was cremated

Some writers have stated that once you promise allegiance to anybody, sacrifice your head but do not let him down at any cost. A great example of this is Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji who sacrificed his life but did not falter from his faith. Gobind Rai Ji son of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji was nominated to Gurgaddi. Guru Gobind Singh Ji was a child of 9 years when he was called upon to shoulder the responsibilities of a Guru. Bani of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji was entered into Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji by Guru Gobind Singh at Talwandi Sabo Ji, Takht Sri Damdama Sahib Ji. Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji's bani gives the message of non-attachment.


Bakala
Following Guru Harkrishans prophecy that the next Guru would be found in Bakala, he went there, arriving in August 1664. But on reaching Bakala he found as many as 22 people posing as the next Guru. He decided to offer only two Dinars (also given as five mohars [1] ) to every one posing to be Guru Harkrishan's successor. The true Guru would himself demand the exact amount he had vowed to give. According to him it would not be possible for the false and imposters to define the exact purpose of his visit. Thereby their ignorance, lack of spiritual insight and character would be exposed.

Discovery of Guru Teg Bahadur

As expected, none of the imposters could recognise him, which still left him the problem of having to find the rightful Guru. Then he heard of the solitarian Teg Bahedur, son of Guru Hargobind. Makhan Shah was taken to see him on August 10, 1664 by a local youth. When Makhan placed the two Dinars before Tegh Bahadur, he remarked "God bless you, my man, why only two Dinars after pledging five hundred? The Guru is never in need of any thing but a Sikh is expected to keep his pledge to the Guru." Thus the issue was clinched and the real Guru was discovered by Makhan Shah.
Makhan Shah proclaimed that he would inform everyone upon discovering the True Guru. Guru Teg Bahadur was still desiring to meditate in solitude and told Makhan Shah not to tell anyone. The Guru tried to discourage him by saying his face would be blackened if he did so. (meaning dishonour will be obtained). Makhan Shah took this as a challenge instead of a curse and put ash on his face and climbed to the roof top to announce to all that he had found the Guru.

    BANDI SHOR DATA SRI HAR GOBIND SAHIB JI MIRI AND PIRI DE MALIK

    Guru Har Gobind

    Guru Har Gobind ji (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ) (Saturday, 5 July 1595 - Tuesday, 19 March 1644) was the sixth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism. He became Guru on 11 June 1606 following in the footsteps of his father Guru Arjan Dev ji. While the ceremonial rites were being performed by Baba Buddha ji, Guru Hargobind ji asked Baba Buddha to adorn him with a sword rather than the Seli of Nanak which had been used previously by the earlier Gurus. 
    Guru Hargobind then put on not one but two swords; one on his left side and the other on his right. He declared that the two swords signified "Miri" and
    "Piri", "Temporal Power" and "Spiritual Power", one which would smite the oppressor and the other which would protect the innocent. He told his followers: "In the guru's house spiritual and mundane powers shall be combined". "My rosary shall be the sword-belt and on my turban I shall wear a Kalgi" (an ornament for the turban, which was then worn by Mughal and Hindu rulers).
    Guru Hargobind carried the same light of Guru Nanak; but he added to it the lustre of the sword. Guru Hargobind sahib ji was also the inventor of the Taus. Guru ji watched a peacock singing one day, and wished to make a instrument to mim

    Relations with Jahangir and wars with Mughals
    The reasons for Guru Har Gobind to arm his followers were many. Both externally and internally, the situation was changing. The Guru had to adjust his policy to the demands of the new environment. Sikhism had developed its organisation mostly during the tolerant days of Akbar. Akbar had never interfered with the development of Sikhism. He had even helped the Gurus in various ways. But the execution of Guru Arjan at the hands of Jahangir and imprisonment of Guru Hargobind definitely showed that sterner days were ahead. The policy of mere peaceful organisation no longer sufficed. Both Guru Arjan had foreseen and Guru Hargobind also saw that protecting the Sikh community without the aid of arms was no longer possible.[3] Guru Hargobind accumulated a stable of eight hundred horses and three hundred mounted followers constantly attended to him. A guard of fifty-six matchlock-men secured his safety in person.
    Jahangir could not tolerate the armed policy of Guru Hargobind and

    consequently imprisoned him. The main reason for leaving him after years was that there were a lot of reports from across the length and width of the country that people were against the throne due to the popularity of the guru, as well as the unjustified martyrdom of the fifth guru. A lot of people were following Sikhism, and there was a possibility of a coup if the Guru was not released at the earliest. As it is, there were 52 Hindu kings in the Gwalior prison at that moment, the policies of Jahangir against the local majority people were oppressive in nature. Therefore, the situation compelled him to order release of Guru Hargobind and save the throne.
    During the reign of Shah Jahan, relations became bitter again. Shah

    Jahan was intolerant. He destroyed the Sikh baoli at Lahore. The quarrels between Mughal officials and the Sikhs originally started over hawks or horses, but subsequently led to risings on a large scale and were responsible for the deaths of thousands of persons on both sides.[3] Battles were fought at
    Amritsar, Kartarpur and elsewhere. Guru Hargobind defeated the Imperial troops near Amritsar. The Guru was again attacked by a provincial detachment, but the attackers were routed and their leaders slain.[6] Guru Hargobind grasped a sword and marched with his devoted soldiers among the troops of the empire, or boldly led them to oppose and overcome the provincial governors or personal enemies.[7]
     A childhood friend of Guru Hargobind, Painde Khan, whose
    mother had been the nurse of the Guru, had become his enemy. The cause given, in some accounts, was a valuable hawk of a follower of the Guru which was taken by Khan, and when asked for, was resented by him. Other accounts note Khan's vanity and his pride. This opportunity was used by Mughal officials, who saw Guru Hargobind as an ever-present danger. Painde Khan was appointed leader of the provincial troops and marched upon the Guru. Guru Hargobind was attacked, but the warlike apostle slew the friend of his youth, with his own hand, and proved again a victor.[6]

    Guru Har Gobind breathed his last, peacefully, at Kiratpur Rupnagar, Punjab, on 19 March 1644.
     Legacy
    The following is a summary of the main highlights of Guru Har Gobind's life:

        Transformed the Sikh fraternity by introducing martial arts and weapons for the defence of the masses following his father's martyrdom.
        Carried two swords of Miri and Piri.
        Built the Akal Takht in 1608 – which is now one of five Takhts (Seats of Power) of the Sikhs.
        Founded the city of Kiratpur in District Jalandhar, Punjab.
        He was imprisoned in the fort of Gwalior for one year and on release insisted that 52 fellow prisoners be freed as well. To mark this occasion, the Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas.
        The first Guru to engage in warfare.
        Fought four battles against the Mughal rulers.
        The city Hargobindpur, in Majha region of Punjab, is named after him, which he won over from Mughals after defeating them in a battle.

    Guru Arjan(Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਅਰਜੁਨ [ɡʊru əɾdʒən]; (15 April 1563 – 30 May 1606) was the fifth of the eleven Sikh Gurus, the eleventh being the living Guru, Guru Granth Sahib, and the first Sikh martyr. He was born in Goindval, Punjab the youngest son of Guru Ram Das and Bibi Bhani, the daughter of Guru Amar Das.[1

         Guru Arjan lived as the Guru of Sikhism for a quarter of a century. Guru Arjan completed the construction of Amritsar and founded other cities such as Taran Taran and Kartarpur. The greatest contribution he made to the Sikh faith was to compile all of the past Gurus' writings along with selected writings of other saints from different backgrounds which he considered consistent with the teachings of Sikhism into one book, now the holy scripture: the Guru Granth Sahib. It is, perhaps, the only script which still exists in the form first published (a hand-written manuscript) by the Guru.[2]

    Guru Arjan organised the Masand system, a group of representatives who taught and spread the teachings of the Gurus and also received the Dasvand, partial offering of a Sikh's income (in money, goods or service) that Sikhs paid to support the building of Gurdwara Sahib, Langar (shared communal kitchens) originally intended to share with sense of love, respect and equality, still an important element today in any Gurdwara. The Langars were open to any visitors and were designed from the start to stress the idea of equality and a casteless society

        SIGN OF SIKH SYMBOLS

        IK ONKAR
        Ek Onkar
        Ek Onkar means GOD IS ONE. It is a symbol of the unity of God in Sikhism, and is found on all religious scriptures and places such as Gurudwaras. Ek Onkar is the first phrase in the mool referring to the existence of "one God," present as opening phrase in the Guru Granth Sahib, and the first composition of Guru Nanak. It is also part of the Sikh morning prayer, Japji Sahib. The symbol has some resemblance to the Sanskrit OM as seen in the Hindu religion and is itself found in ancient Sanskrit literature.


        NISHAN SAHIB (The Sikh Flag)
        nishan_sahib
        The Nishan Sahib is the sikh flag  and plays an important role in the Sikh community. Nishan means a seal or stamp, a mark of identity and Sahib is added for respect. It is sometimes referred to as Kesri Jhanda (Kesri - saffron colored. Jhanda - flag), Jhanda Sahib or simply Nishan. It is a saffron-colored triangular-shaped cloth with a tassel at its end, and the Khanda, usually in blue, in the middle of it. The Sikh flag is often seen near the entrance to the Gurdwara, standing firmly on the platform, overlooking the whole building. Sikhs show great respect to their flag as it is, indeed, the symbol of the freedom of the Khalsa.


        Five Sikh Symbols

        The Five Ks are the five items of dress and physical appearance given to Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh when he gathered together the first members of the Khalsa on Vaisakhi day in 1699. These symbols give Sikhs a unique identity signifying discipline and spirituality. However, these items cannot be reduced to just symbols and must be worn in their full form.

        Kesh

        Guru Gobind Singh
        • Kesh are a traditional symbol of holiness in India, and the turban is a symbol of leadership.

        • Uncut hair, which is kept covered by a distinctive turban.

        Kirpan

        Kirpan
        • A ceremonial sword, symbolizing readiness to protect the weak, and defend against injustice and persecution.


        • The kirpan is normally worn with a cloth shoulder strap called a gatra.The kirpan exemplifies the warrior character of a Sikh.

        Kara

        Kara
        • A steel bracelet, symbolizing strength and integrity.

        • Steel is symbolic of strength yet resilient under stress. In the same way, the human soul must become as strong and unbreakable as steel which has been tempered in the furnace.

        Kangha

        Kangha
        • A small wooden comb, symbolizing cleanliness and order.

        • The kangha is used to keep the hair clean and is normally tucked neatly in one's uncut hair.

        • As a Sikh combs their hair daily, he or she should also comb their mind with the Guru's wisdom.

        Kachhera

        • Cotton boxer shorts, symbolizing self-control and chastity; prohibition of adultery.

        HISTORY OF PANJ PEYARE



        Vaisakhi

        Vaisakhi Vaisakhi (also spelled Baisakhi) is the festival which celebrates the founding of the Sikh community known as the Khalsa. It is celebrated on April 14 each year. On Vaisakhi day in 1699, Guru Gobind Singh summoned Sikhs from all over India to the city of Anandpur Sahib. At this gathering, the Guru called upon Sikhs to uphold their faith and preserve the Sikh religion. Guru Gobind Singh then lifted his sword and asked that anyone prepared to give his life for his faith to come forward. There was a big silence, but the Guru went on repeating his demand. One Sikh finally came forward and followed the Guru into a tent. Shortly after, the Guru reappeared alone with his sword covered in blood, and asked for a second volunteer. Another Sikh stepped forward and again the Guru took him into the tent, and re-appeared alone with his sword covered with blood. This was repeated until five Sikhs had offered their heads for the Guru. Finally, the Guru emerged from the tent with all five men dressed piously in blue. Guru Gobind Singh called the five Sikhs the Panj Pyare, the Five Beloved Ones.
        Vaisakhi The Panj Pyare were then baptized in a unique ceremony called pahul. Guru Gobind Singh prepared amrit (holy water) in a bowl using a short steel sword. Then the Guru's wife, Mata Sundri, added patashas (sugar crystals) into the amrit. After completing prayers, Guru Gobind Singh sprinkled the amrit on each of the Panj Pyare. The Guru then knelt before the five and asked them to baptize him as well. The Guru proclaimed that the Panj Pyare would be the embodiment of the Guru himself: "Where there are Panj Pyare, there am I. When the Five meet, they are the holiest of the holy."
        The Panj Pyare were the first members of the new Sikh community called the Khalsa. Guru Gobind Singh gave the Khalsa a unique identity with five distinctive symbols of purity and courage, known today as the Five K's. The Guru gave all Khalsa men the surname of Singh (lion) as a reminder to be courageous. Women took on the surname Kaur (princess) to emphasize dignity. With the distinct Khalsa identity, Guru Gobind Singh gave all Sikhs the opportunity to live lives of courage, sacrifice, and equality. These Sikhs were to dedicate their lives to the service of others and the pursuit of justice.

        HISTORY OF GURU GOBIND SAHIB JI IN HEMKUNT SAHIB

        HISTORY OF GURUDWARA HEMKUNT SAHIB JI

        Blessed disciple of Guru ji, SHRI GURU GOBIND SINGH JI tells us in his autobiography “BACHITAR NATAK” that Shri Hemkunt Sahib is a holy place where SHRI GURU GOBIND SINGH JI had worshipped Almighty God as a DUSHAT DAMAN in his previous birth.
        AB MAIN APNI KATHA BAKHANO, TAP SADHAT JIH BID MOHE AANO ||
        HEMKUNT PARBAT HAI JAHA, SAPT SRING SOBHIT HAI TAHA ||

        TEH HUM ADIK TAPASAYA SADHI, MAHA KAAL KALIKA ARADHI ||
        DESCRIPTION: The Guru Ji tells us about his previous incarnation that Hemkunt Sahib is a place in the Himalaya range, where there is glorifying ice covered Sapt Sring Mountain, on that hill he meditated the name of God.
        IH BID KARAT TAPPSAYA BHAYO, DAVAI TE EK ROOP HO GAYO||
        DESCRITOIN: He states that before he came into this world, as a free spirit he was engaged in the meditation in the seven peaks of Hemkunt Sahib Mountain. In his meditation he became one with God.
        TAAT MAAT MUR ALAKH ARAADHA, BAHU BEED JOG SADHNA SADHA||
        DESCRITPTION: My father SHRI TEG BAHDUR JI and MATA GUJRI JI meditated and devoted service in the love of God on the native land.
        TIN JO KAREE ALAKH KEE SEWA, TAA TAY BHAAY PRASANNI GURDEVA||

        DESCRIPTION: Almighty God pleased with their worship and asked them to make a wish. Then my parents said to be blessed with a son. Bust he should be the one who was their son in their previous birth. Then Almighty God commanded me to take human form in this world. I didn’t like to come. God sent me into the world with a mandate saying: “I cherish thee as my son and send thee to establish the path of truth. Go into the world and establish virtue and keep the people away from evil.”
        MAI APNA SUT TOHE NIWAJA, PANTH PRACHAR KEHBEE KAO MAJA||

        Thus with the command of Akaal Purakh Guru Ji had taken birth to spread spirit of both sainthood and soldier.





        Ih bidh karat tappsaya bhayo

        The Guru was so much engrossed in the Name of God, that he did not want to take re-birth. But some how the Almighty, persuaded him and he was born at Patna Sahib. His mother was Mata Gujri and his father was ninth Guru Tegh Bahadar Sahib.
        As Guru Gobind Singh had mentio

        MY VIEW

                                       
        Great work are performed not by strength but by perseverance.        
        Respect the old when you are young . Help the weak when you are storng. Confess the fault when you are wrong.Because one day in life you will be also old, weak and wrong.

        There is no greater wealth in this world than peace of mind but that you can get by the grace of god. 

                The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all direction."

        "Learn from the mistakes of others... you can't live long enough to 
        make them all yourselves!!"

         The most imported truth of life is that only those with the right attitude & thinking way can succeed in their task. The successful people always thing positively & meet their set goal & targets with the help of the energy & enthusiasm with which is generated in the mind &body due to positive thinking.

         Good things are always not come from good thinking. Every man on the earth should committed mistakes in his life some times those mistakes are also make good things. Let take us an example in our childhood we do not know what is fire and what will it cause. When we touch the fire we feel pain means we know that when we touch the fire it will painful to us.

         The past is to prove that no one is perfect and the future is to prove that everyone can change..!

         "I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice."

         "Before you start some work,
        always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it,
        What the results might be and Will I be successful.
        Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead."


         If you have the ability to complain about something, you also have the ability to take the positive action that will make it better. And taking positive action is infinitely more effective than merely complaining. 

          "Learn from the mistakes of others... you can't live long enough to make them all yourselves!!"

         Don't let the pain/troubles of the past steal/prevent your blessings of the present and future.



          LIFE IS GIFT FROM GOD LIVE EACH DAY WITH PEACE AND LOVE, NO MATTER WHAT STORM TRAVELS THROUGH.


        LIFE IS ONE WAY ROAD, YOU CAN SEE BACK BUT YOU CAN NOT GO BACK , SO DO NOT MISS ANY THING, ENJOY EACH AND EVERY MOVEMENT OF LIFE-------------------.

        GOOD FRIENDS ARE LIKE STAR------------------YOU DON'T SEE THEM , BUT YOU KNOW THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE.
