Shaheedi Bhai Sukha-Bhai Jinda

An Independent Sikh State will be a reality one day,there will be Khalsa Raaj and Kesri Nishan will rise high in Skies.There is no way blood of thousands of Singhs,Singhanis and Bhujangis of this Kaum will be wasted.The mission,the dream we had in our eyes will be fulfilled,if not by present,then Next Generation!We'll live with Freedom or not live at all.Because Guru Gobind Singh ji gave us slogan of 'Nische Kar Apni Jeet karoo' or ''Att hee Rann meh tab jhoojh maroo''.Either we Win or we Die. Khalsa never loses a War, we will not! Death is a victory in itself,because you dont have to face defeat. Sant Jarnail Singh ji taught us ' Jeena Anakh naal,Marna Dharam layi'(To live,live with honour,to die,die for faith) and We are proud that we got to die for our faith. (Bhai Sukha - Bhai Jinda,Jail chithiyan)

Famous Poem by Shaheed Bhai Kartar Singh Sarabha

WHO WE ARE

By: Kartar Singh Sarabha

If anyone asks who we are
Tell him our name is rebel
Our duty is to end the tyranny
Our profession is to launch revolution
That is our namaz, this is our sandhya
Our puja, our worship
This is our religion
Our work
This is our only Khuda, our only Rama.

Shaheed Jathedar Bhai Gurdev Singh ji Kaunke


(First Jathedar of Akaal Takhat to attain Shaheedi after Akali Baba Phoola Singh ji).

Bhai sahib was a Charhdi kala Gurmukh, Diamond of Damdami Taksal and Loyal soldier of Khalsa Panth. Bhai sahib was appointed Working Jathedar of Akaal Takhat sahib in January 1986 and he did this sewa till his Shaheedi. He was the one who went out in Rural Punjab in that dark period and awakened Sikh masses by doing Katha of Guru Granth Sahib ji and Sri Dasam Granth. Areas of Ludhiana,Moga,Jagraon and Faridkot transformed considerably. Malwa belt of Punjab saw a revolution and there were Amrit Sanchars on daily basis in which hundreds used to tak Amrit and become Khalsa. Bhai Sahib had a highly pure character, high Gursikhi jeevan, Awastha and humble attitude. Thousands were inspired by his magnetic personality,left drugs and patitpuna and became Gursikhs and part of  Sikh movement. Seeing his Parchar, popularity, influence and sewa, He was arrested in 1989 by Sumedh Saini, hung upside down and beaten mercilessly. Police saw him as ''Second Bhindranwala''. Later he had to be released as he went to court and proved the police wrong.
On 20th December 1992, Bhai Sahib ji was arrested again and was tortured badly by Swaran ghotna, Harbhagwan sodhi and Gurdeep singh of Jagraon police. Bhai sahib was killed on 1st January 1993 and his body was thrown in a river. Before his Shaheedi, his bones were broken, flesh pierced with hot iron rods and electric shocks were given to Singh Sahib ji.  Still he remained in Charhdi kala.

 Parnaam Shaheeda nu.

Guru Gobind Singh ji - True King of Kings

Guru Gobind Singh Ji

On a maiden day, in Patna,
beneath the radiant sun,
comes forth from the heavens,
a melody just once heard before.

The gods and angels await...
The universe in silence still,
From the will of God Almighty,
comes forth Justice, in splendid form.

The prayers of the saints, the terror stricken poor,
are heard by God, and justice served.
The house of Nanak, the womb of Mata Gujri,
comes forth a child, heavenly adorned...

Radiant is Thy nature,
sacrifice Thy personality,
justice is Thy sword,
God's will Thy obey, in humility.

At nine did Thee send forth,
in a cause for suffering humanity.
Thy father unto his death,
to save Hinduism, from mortality.

Thou art like Guru Arjun Dev,
whom suffered tortures inhumane.
Who praised the Lord All Mighty,
uttering, while being tortured

"Sweet is Thy Will, Oh Lord,
I ask only for Thy Name"...
Who can Thou possibly be,
I know Thee as Guru Gobind Singh Ji...

Guru Gobind Singh Ji,
at the age of play,
Thou arose to the challenge,
not once did Thy fail.

Thou sacrificed all, the baby Princes
at a playful age of 6 and 8.
Thy teen aged Princes, martyred in battle,
for the cause of Sikhi, and freedom of religion.

Thou mother also sacrificed,
upholding Dharma,
Guru Gobind Singh Ji,
supreme are Thy sacrifices.

Great is Thy Victory,
Great is Thy Courage,
Great is Thy Khalsa,
Great is Thy Name.

Bravery if one were to learn,
befitting is Thy name.
Compassion if one were to seek,
knowest Thou one attain.

Love, if ever its true meaning known,
who else be but Thee.
Justice, if ever the world were to learn,
no further then your courts does one have to see.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji,
none in the Three Worlds, can match sword with Thee.
Thy bow is magical, from which arrows of lightening flee.
Thy Eagle, Blue Stallion are themselves heavenly.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji,
Thou art Poetry,
which soothes the minds
of all Thy devotees.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji,
Thy beauty is supreme, fulfilling all hearts.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji,
I have no words, that are befitting Thee.

Guru Gobind Singh, fulfil Thy devotees hearts desire.
Guru Gobind Singh, the True King of kings,
Guru Gobind Singh, the True Servant of those in need.
Guru Gobind Singh, the True Messenger of bliss.

Guru Gobind Singh, the Enlightener of the soul,
Guru Gobind Singh, in whose hands reside God's Treasures,
Give this foolish Jas, the Medicine,
for which my Hearts pains can be remedied.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji, may I forever,
be a sacrifice unto Thee.
                                                            

          Bhai  Jaswinder Singh (Toronto, Canada).

Pain of a Sikh Girl who went with a Musalmaam- In her own words

Regrets.... I Have Many

Life in leafy Edgbaston was cosy, routine and without much bother,

Mummy and daddy where professional middle class,
I was at college study for my A levels,
I was shy and obedient but I wasn't content,
I longed for excitement,
I wanted to live the world,
I wanted to be as bold as brass and that was my intent.
At college one day, a lad approached me, as he towards me,

I could see from afar around his neck, he wore the moon and stars
around his neck.
He was very persistent and sweet,
Told me I was beautiful from my head down to my feet.
In my innocence by this tender words I was fooled,
This Muslim boy loved me.
And the love for my own family cooled.

My stupidity lead me to follow western trends,
I allowed him to become my boyfriend,
He had me under his hypnotic spell,
What I was going to do next nobody could tell,
I moved from Edgbaston to Sparkbrook.
I longed to be with my one and only Farooq.
My life was to change completely,
Long gone where the afternoon tea parties with the ladies,
Long gone where my Mummy's BMW and Daddy's Mercedes,

I was soon getting on and off buses and trams,
As I struggled with a variety of prams,
I was his sweetheart no more,
Instead I had become his common whore.
From Edgbaston to Sparkbrook and then to living hell
That is Pakistan,

A distant memory now, but please believe me,
I had once stood shoulder to shoulder with my dear dad
and demanded khalistan.
Oh God
What have I done?

What has happened to me?
What have I become?
As I lay awake at night
There is nobody to even hear me cry,
My thoughts are unanswered, questions are my only escape,
Somebody, anybody! Please tell me?

Will I ever stand in the warmth of my kitchen again?
Will I ever feel the hug of dear Daddy's strong arms?
Will my brothers ever fight and play and argue with me again?
Will I be there when my Mummy and Daddy grow old?
When my brother gets married will I be there to put the kalgi on his
pagh?
Will I ever again experience the sweet nectar that is Gurbani?
Will I ever share langar again?
Now there are no answers, only questions.

I have sown the seed of my own despair,
My life is in ruins, which nobody can repair,
My innocence, foolishness, kismet on me all have cheated,
I desperately want my previous boring life,
But I fear I am living in false hope,
In my heart of hearts I know that can never be repeated.
As I write these word in the unforgiving Pakistani heat,
Streams of sweat and tears run down my face,
I realize for me it is now too late,
Life has dealt me a cruel fate,
My living hell on my own I have to endure,
But I plead with my Sikh sisters that you make sure
Don't be fooled by his looks and false allure.

Stay in the warmth of Sikh religion,
Maintain your family values,
Enjoy its rich culture, but unlike me don't abuse its social freedom,
Ignore my advice at your peril,
But I beg you to take, a good long hard look at me,
A pitiful shambles I'm sure you will agree,
Happiness or even hope, I haven't any,

But regrets.............

I have many

Anoop Kaur -- The message by Guru Gobind Singh ji in Charitropakhyaan

ਚਰਿਤਰੋਪਾਖਿਆਨ ਦੀ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ
(ਅਸਲ ਕਹਾਣੀ, ਅਸਲ ਸੰਦੇਸ਼)

    ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਵਿਚ ਅੰਕਿਤ ਨਾਰੀ-ਪੁਰਖ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਕਥਾਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹਿ ‘ਚਰਿਤਰੋਪਾਖਿਆਨ’ ਦਾ 21ਵਾਂ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਨਾ ਕੇਵਲ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦੇ ਵਿਰੋਧੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਵਿਵਾਦਿਤ ਹੈ, ਬਲਕਿ ਹਿਮਾਇਤੀਆਂ ਵਿਚ ਵੀ ਵਿਵਾਦ ਦਾ ਮੁਦਾ ਬਣਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ, ਹਾਲਾਕਿ ਵਿਵਾਦ ਦੇ ਮੁਦੇ ਭਿੰਨ-ਭਿੰਨ ਹਨ। ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦੇ ਵਿਰੋਧੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦੇ ਕਰਤਾ ਨੇ ਕਾਮੁਕ ਅਸ਼ਲੀਲਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਅਪਮਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਵਿਅਕਤਿਤ੍ਵ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣ-ਬੁਝ ਕੇ ਛੁਟਿਆਇਆ ਹੈ, ਇਸ ਕਾਰਨ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਥਾਵਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਰਤਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ। ਹਿਮਾਇਤੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਇਕ ਵਰਗ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਦੇ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਹੋਣ ਤੋਂ ਇਨਕਾਰੀ ਹੈ। ਉਸ ਦਾ ਮੁਖ ਤਰਕ ਇਹ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਕਿਤੇ ਵੀ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਇਆ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਇਸ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਦੀ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਨਾਲ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਆਪਣਾ ਕੋਈ ਨਿਜੀ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਨਹੀਂ। ਹਾਂ ! ਇਸ ਕਥਾ-ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹਿ ਦੇ ਰਚਣਹਾਰ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਹਨ। ਹਿਮਾਇਤੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਦੂਜਾ ਵਰਗ ਮੰਨਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਨਾ ਕੇਵਲ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਕਥਾਵਾਂ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਰਚਿਤ ਹਨ, ਬਲਕਿ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਚਰਚਿਤ ਕਥਾ ਦੇ ਇਕ ਪ੍ਰਮੁਖ ਪਾਤਰ ਵੀ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਕੁਝ ਵੀ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਜੋ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਅਪਮਾਨਜਨਕ ਹੋਵੇ। ਵਿਰੋਧੀ ਪਖ ਅਤੇ ਹਿਮਾਇਤੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਦੂਜੇ ਵਰਗ ਵਿਚ ਇਹ ਸਹਿਮਤੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਵਿਰੋਧੀ ਪਖ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਤਥਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਰੋੜ-ਮੋੜ ਕੇ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਅਪਮਾਨਜਨਕ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਨਿਰਮਿਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਨਾਲ ਹਿਮਾਇਤੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਦੂਜਾ ਵਰਗ ਬਿਲਕੁਲ ਸਹਿਮਤ ਨਹੀਂ, ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਕਥਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਗੌਰਵਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਲਗਦੀ ਹੈ। ਹਿਮਾਇਤੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਉਹ ਵਰਗ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਕਥਾ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਅਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਦਾ ਬਲਹੀਣ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਵੀ ਕਿਤੇ ਨਾ ਕਿਤੇ ਇਹੋ ਸਵੀਕਾਰ ਕਰੀ ਬੈਠਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਜੇ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ, ਤਾਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਅਪਮਾਨਜਨਕ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਵਿਚ ਫਸ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ। ਅਸੀਂ ਇਸ ਲੇਖ ਵਿਚ ਕਥਾ ਦੇ ਆਧਾਰ ਤੇ ਸਮੁਚੀ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਦੀ ਪੁਨਰ-ਸਮੀਖਿਆ ਕਰਨੀ ਹੈ। ਸਾਡੇ ਵਿਚਾਰ-ਮੰਥਨ ਦੋ ਹੀ ਬਿੰਦੂਆਂ ਉਤੇ ਕੇਂਦ੍ਰਿਤ ਰਹੇਗਾ। ਇਕ ਇਹ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਦੇ ਪਾਤਰ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਹਨ ਜਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ। ਦੂਜਾ ਇਹ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਇਹ ਕਥਾ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਗੌਰਵਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਹੈ ਜਾਂ ਅਪਮਾਨ ਜਨਕ ?
    ਪਹਿਲੇ ਪ੍ਰਸ਼ਨ ਦੇ ਹਲ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਦਰਸਾਏ ਨਾਂਵਾਂ, ਥਾਂਵਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਥਿਤੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਵਿਸ਼ਲੇਸ਼ਣ ਜਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਇਤਿਹਾਸਿਕ ਮਨੌਤ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਨਤੀਜੇ ਤੇ ਪਹੁੰਚਾ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ-
1.    ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਸਥਾਨ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਦਾ ਵਰਣਨ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਹੈ-
ਤੀਰ ਸਤੁਦ੍ਰਵ ਕੇ ਹੁਤੋ ਪੁਰ ਅਨੰਦ ਇਕ ਗਾਉ।
ਨੇਤ੍ਰ ਤੁੰਗ ਕੇ ਢਿਗ ਬਸਤ ਕਹਲੂਰ ਕੇ ਠਾਉ।
(ਅਰਥਾਤ ਸਤਲੁਜ ਨਦੀ ਦੇ ਕਿਨਾਰੇ ਆਨੰਦ ਪੁਰ ਨਾਮ ਦਾ ਇਕ ਪਿੰਡ ਸੀ, ਜੋ ਕਹਿਲੂਰ ਰਿਆਸਤ ਦੇ ਖੇਤਰ ਵਿਚ ਨੈਣਾਂ ਦੇਵੀ ਦੇ ਨੇੜੇ ਸੀ)। ਇਹ ਉਲੇਖ ਇਤਨਾ ਸਪਸ਼ਟ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਸੰਦੇਹ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਹਿਣ ਦੇਂਦਾ ਕਿ ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਵਰਣਿਤ ‘ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ’ਖ਼ਾਲਸੇ ਦੀ ਜਨਮ-ਭੂਮੀ ਤੋੰ ਭਿੰਨ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਦੂਜਾ ‘ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ’ ਬਿਲਕੁਲ ਨਹੀਂ। ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦੁਰ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਵਸਾਉਣ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਇਸ ਦਾ ਪੁਰਾਤਨ ਨਾਮ ‘ਮਾਖੋਵਾਲ’ ਸੀ। ਸੋ ਇਹ ਵੀ ਸਪਸ਼ਟ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਕਿ ਘਟਨਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਵਸਾਉਣ ਤੋਂ ਪਿਛੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾ ਸਕਦੀ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਨੌਵੇਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਨਾਮ ਦੀ ਅਣਹੋਂਦ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਦੇ ਕਾਲ ਨੂੰ 1696 ਈ. ਵਿਚ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਕਥਾਵਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਪੂਰਨਤਾ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ। ਸੋ ਇਹ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਦਾ ਕਾਲ ਨੌਵੇਂ ਅਤੇ ਦਸਵੇਂ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਤਕ ਸੀਮਿਤ ਕਰ ਦੇਂਦੀ ਹੈ।
2.    ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਅਗਲਾ ਮਹਤਵਪੂਰਨ ਉਲੇਖ ਇਹ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਘਟਨਾ ਸਮੇਂ ਇਹ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਸਿਖ ਪੰਥ ਦੀਆਂ ਗਤੀਵਿਧੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਕੇਂਦਰ ਸੀ, ਯਥਾ-
ਤਹਾ ਸਿਖ ਸਾਖਾ ਬਹੁਤ ਆਵਤ ਮੋਦ ਬਢਾਇ।
ਮਨ ਬਾਛਤ ਮੁਖਿ ਮਾਂਗ ਬਰ ਜਾਤ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਨ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਇ।
ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਸਪਸ਼ਟ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਘਟਨਾ ਉਸ ਵੇਲੇ ਦੀ ਹੈ, ਜਦੋਂ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਸਿਖ ਪੰਥ ਦਾ ਕੇਂਦਰ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਉਲੇਖ ਤੋਂ ਸਿਧ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਸਮਾਂ ਨੌਵੇਂ ਅਤੇ ਦਸਵੇਂ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਦੇ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਤੋਂ ਇਧਰ-ਉਧਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ।
3.    ੳ. ਅਗਲਾ ਤਥ ਇਹ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕਥਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਇਕ ਉਸ ਸਮੇਂ ਇਸ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦਾ ਰਾਏ ਸੀ-
ਏਕ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਧਨਵੰਤ ਕੀ ਤੌਨ ਨਗਰ ਮੇਂ ਆਨਿ।
ਹੇਰਿ ਰਾਇ ਪੀੜਤ ਭਈ ਬਿਧੀ ਬਿਰਹ ਕੇ ਬਾਨਿ।
ਅ.    ਉਹ ਰਾਏ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਭਗੌਤੀ (ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖ) ਦਾ ਉਪਾਸਕ ਸੀ-
ਚਲਿਯੋ ਧਾਰਿ ਆਤੀਤ ਕੋ ਭੇਸ ਰਾਈ।
ਮਨਾਪਨ ਬਿਖੈ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਭਗੌਤੀ ਮਨਾਈ।
ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦੇ ਪਾਠ ਤੋਂ ਸਿਧ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਅਕਾਲ-ਪੁਰੁਖ ਨੂੰ ਵਾਰ-ਵਾਰ ਭਗਉਤੀ ਕਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਗੁਰੂ-ਕਾਲ ਵਿਚ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਰਹਿਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਅਕਾਲ-ਪੁਰੁਖ ਦੇ ਇਸ ਨਾਮ ਦਾ ਉਪਾਸਕ ਰਾਜਾ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਹੀ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਥਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ।
    ੲ. ਰਾਏ ਇਕ ਪੂਜਨੀਕ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਸੀ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਕਹਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ-
ਭਏ ਪੂਜ ਤੋ ਕਹਾ ਗੁਮਾਨ ਨ ਕੀਜਿਯੈ।
ਧਨੀ ਭਏ ਤੋ ਦਖ੍‍ਯਨ ਨਿਧਨ ਨ ਦੀਜਿਯੈ।..
       ਰਾਏ ਨੇ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ-
ਪਾਇ ਪਰਤ ਮੋਰੋ ਸਦਾ ਪੂਜ ਕਰਤ ਹੈਂ ਮੋਹਿ।
      ਗੁਰੂ-ਕਾਲ ਵਿਚ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵਿਖੇ ਪੂਜਯ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਕੇਵਲ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਹਾਰਾਜ ਸਨ, ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਰਾਜਾ ਨਹੀਂ।
    ਸ. ਉਸ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਦੇ ਰਾਏ ਲਈ ਧਰਮ ਸਰਬ-ਉਪਰ ਹੈ-
ਧਰਮ ਕਰੇ ਸੁਭ ਜਨਮ ਧਰਮ ਤੇ ਰੂਪਹਿ ਪੈਯੈ।
ਧਰਮ ਕਰੇ ਧਨ ਧਾਮ ਧਰਮ ਤੇ ਰਾਜ ਸੁਹੈਯੈ।
       ਧਰਮ ਪ੍ਰਤੀ ਇਸ ਵਚਨਬਧਤਾ ਵਾਲਾ ਆਦਰਸ਼ਕ ਅਧਿਆਤਮਵਾਦੀ ਉਸ ਸਮੇਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਹੀ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ।
    ਹ. ਰਾਏ ਆਪਣੀ ਪਛਾਣ ਸਪਸ਼ਟ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਕਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ-
ਪ੍ਰਥਮ ਛਤ੍ਰਿ ਕੇ ਧਾਮ ਦਿਯੋ ਬਿਧਿ ਜਨਮ ਹਮਾਰੋ।
ਬਹੁਰਿ ਜਗਤ ਕੇ ਬੀਚ ਕਿਯੋ ਕੁਲ ਅਧਿਕ ਉਜਿਯਾਰੋ।
ਬਹੁਰਿ ਸਭਨ ਮੈ ਬੈਠਿ ਆਪੁ ਕੋ ਪੂਜ ਕਹਾਊ।
ਹੋ ਰਮੋ ਤੁਹਾਰੇ ਸਾਥ ਨੀਚ ਕੁਲ ਜਨਮਹਿ ਪਾਊ।
ਉਕਤ ਪੰਕਤੀਆਂ ਦਸਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਰਾਏ ਦਾ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਛਤ੍ਰੀ-ਵੰਸ਼ ਨਾਲ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਸਥਾਪਿਤ ਉਸ ਗੁਰੂ-ਵੰਸ਼ ਨਾਲ ਵੀ ਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਚੰਡ ਪ੍ਰਤਾਪ ਸਾਰੇ ਜਗਤ ਵਿਚ ਪਸਰਿਆ ਹੈ।
    ਕ. ਰਾਏ ਦਾ ਪਿਤਾ ਪੂਜਯ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਦੇ ਪਾਸ ਦੂਰੋਂ-ਨੇੜਿਓਂ ਚਲ ਕੇ ਸੰਗਤ ਇਕਤਰ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ।
        ਰਾਏ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਦੀ ਸਿਖਿਆ ਬਾਰੇ ਕਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ-
ਸੁਧਿ ਜਬ ਤੇ ਹਮ ਧਰੀ ਬਚਨ ਗੁਰ ਦਏ ਹਮਾਰੇ।
ਪੂਤ ਇਹੈ ਪ੍ਰਨ ਤੋਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਜਬ ਲਗ ਘਟ ਥਾਰੇ।…..
ਬਾਲ ਹਮਾਰੇ ਪਾਸ ਦੇਸ ਦੇਸਨ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਆਵਹਿ।
ਮਨ ਬਾਛਤ ਬਰ ਮਾਂਗਿ ਜਾਨਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੀਸ ਝੁਕਾਵਹਿ।
ਸਿਖ੍‍ਯ ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਸੁਤਾ ਜਾਨਿ ਅਪਨੇ ਚਿਤ ਧਰਿਯੈ।
ਹੋ ਕਹੋ ਸੁੰਦਰਿ ਤਿਹ ਸਾਥ ਗਵਨ ਕੈਸੇ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿਯੈ।
ਇਹ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਕੇ ਬਿਲਕੁਲ ਸਪਸ਼ਟ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਇਕ ‘ਰਾਏ’ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਤੋਂ ਭਿੰਨ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ। ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦੇ ਹਿਮਾਇਤੀ ਵਰਗ ਦੇ ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਇਹ ਰਤਾ ਵੀ ਸਹਿਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਨਾਲ ਜੁੜਿਆਂ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਮਹਾ-ਮਹਿਮਾ ਦੀ ਰੰਚਕ-ਮਾਤ੍ਰ ਵੀ ਹਾਨੀ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ। ਸਗੋਂ ਇਹ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਮਹਾਨ ਵਿਰਾਟ ਉਚ-ਆਚਰਣ ਦੀ ਇਤਿਹਾਸਿਕ ਮਿਸਾਲ ਹੈ। ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਅਤੇ ਗੋਪੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਲੀਲਾ ਦਾ ਉਲੇਖ ਇਹ ਵੀ ਸਿਧ ਕਰ ਦੇਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਦੇਵੀ-ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਕਾਮੁਕ-ਕੇਲ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀਕੋਣ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਕੋਈ ਦੈਵੀ-ਕੌਤੁਕ ਨਹੀਂ, ਨਿਰੀ ਵਾਸ਼ਨਾਵਾਂ ਦੀ ਮੈਲ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਕਥਾ ਦਸਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦਾ ਰਾਮ-ਸ਼ਿਆਮ (ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ) ਦੁਆਪਰ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਿਆਮ ਤੋਂ ਆਚਰਣ ਵਿਚ ਕਿਤੇ ਉਤਮ ਹੈ। ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਣ ਰਾਧਾ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਵਿਚ ਕਾਮ-ਕੇਲੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਆਤੁਰ ਹਨ, ਜਦੋਂ ਕਿ ਸਾਡਾ ਕਲਗ਼ੀਆਂ ਵਾਲਾ ਬਾਦਸ਼ਾਹ ਦਰਵੇਸ਼ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਦੀ ਉਪਮਾ-ਰਹਿਤ ਸੁੰਦਰਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਅਸੀਮ ਕਾਮੁਕ ਖਿਚ ਦੇ ਮਦਨ-ਜਾਲ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਅਨੰਤ ਆਚਾਰ-ਬਲ ਨਾਲ ਤਾਰ-ਤਾਰ ਕਰ ਦੇਣ ਦੇ ਹਰ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਸਮਰਥ ਹੈ। ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਣ ਵਿਆਹੁਤਾ ਰਾਧਾ ਦੇ ਕਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਉਤਸਾਹਿਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜਦੋਂ ਕਿ ਕਲਿਜੁਗ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਿਆਮ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਚੰਡ ਕਾਮ-ਉਤੇਜਨਾ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਬਚਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਸ਼ਾਂਤ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਬਲਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਕਾਮ-ਸੰਹਾਰਕ ਹਨ। ਪਰਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਨਾਲ ਕਾਮੁਕ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲਈ ਅਵਤਾਰਾਂ ਵਾਂਗ ਮਨ-ਪਰਚਾਵਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਬਲਕਿ ਹਰ-ਹਾਲ ਵਰਜਿਤ ਕਰਮ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਮਿਸਾਲ ਕਾਇਮ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਜੇ ਹਰ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਦੀ ਬੇਵਸੀ ਹੋਵੇ, ਇਜ਼ਤ-ਮਾਨ, ਸਾਮਾਜਿਕ ਰੁਤਬਾ ਵੀ ਦਾਓ ਤੇ ਲਗ ਜਾਵੇ, ਤਾਂ ਵੀ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਨੇ ਇਕੋ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਕਰਨਾ ਹੈ- ਪਰਨਾਰੀ ਕੀ ਸੇਜ ਭੂਲਿ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਹੂੰ ਨ ਜੈਯਹੁ। ਇਹ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ-ਕਥਾ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਸਾਵਧਾਨ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਕ ਅਧਿਆਤਮਕ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਕੋਲ ਇਤਨਾ ਪ੍ਰਚੰਡ ਵਿਵੇਕ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਕਾਮ ਦੇ ਹਰ ਛਲਾਵੇ ਨੂੰ ਛਲਣ ਦੇ ਸਮਰਥ ਹੋਵੇ। ਪੁਰਾਤਨ ਸ਼ਿਆਮ ਵਾਂਗ ਕਾਮ ਹਥੋਂ ਠਗਿਆ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਅਸਲ ਛਲੀਆ ਨਹੀਂ, ਅਸਲ ਛਲੀਆ ਉਹ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਕਾਮਦੇਵ ਦੇ ਹਰ ਫ਼ਰੇਬ ਉਤੇ ਵਿਜੈ ਪਾ ਸਕੇ। ਜਿਸ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਕੋਲ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਵਿਵੇਕ-ਬਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਂ ਜੋ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਕਾਮਦੇਵ ਅਗੇ ਬਲ-ਬੁਧੀ ਹਾਰ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਦੀ ਹਾਲਤ ਉਸ ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਵਰਗੀ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਕਾਮ ਵਿਚ ਅੰਨ੍ਹਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਕੁਟਿਲਾ ਕਾਮਿਣੀ ਦੀ ਮਕਾਰੀ ਦੇ ਜਾਲ ਵਿਚ ਫਸ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਚਾਰਵੰਤ ਪੁਤਰ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਰਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਤੁਲਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਸੀ।
    ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਦੇ ਆਲੋਚਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਗ਼ਲਤ-ਬਿਆਨੀਆਂ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਵਾਲੇ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਸੰਬੰਧੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਸੰਦੇਹ ਪੈਦਾ ਕੀਤੇ ਹਨ। ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਿਵਾਰਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਪਾਠਕਾਂ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਪੂਰੀ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਪ੍ਰਸਤੁਤ ਕਰਨੀ ਆਵਸ਼ਕ ਹੋ ਗਈ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਾਰ ਰੂਪ ਵਿਚ ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਬਿਆਨ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਯਤਨ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਕਾਹਣੀ ਸੰਖਿਪਿਤ ਤਾਂ ਹੋਵੇ, ਪਰ ਕਿਸੇ ਮਹਤਵਪੂਰਨ ਅੰਗ ਦੀ ਹਾਨੀ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਮੁਕਤ ਹੋਵੇ। ਇਹ ਕਥਾ ਜੋ ‘ਚਰਿਤਰੋਪਾਖਿਆਨ’ ਦੇ ਤਿੰਨ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰਾਂ (21 ਤੋਂ 23) ਵਿਚ ਪਸਰੀ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ, ਦਾ ਸੰਖੇਪ ਵਿਵਰਣ ਇਸ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਹੈ-
    ਕਹਿਲੂਰ ਰਿਆਸਤ ਵਿਚ ਨੈਣਾਂ ਦੇਵੀ ਦੇ ਨੇੜੇ ਸਤਲੁਜ ਨਦੀ ਕੰਢੇ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਨਾਮ ਦਾ ਇਕ ਪਿੰਡ ਸੀ। ਇਥੇ ਸਿਖ ਪੰਥ ਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਬਹੁਤ ਉਤਸਾਹ ਸਹਿਤ ਆਉਂਦੇ ਸਨ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੋਂ ਵਡੀਆਂ ਬਰਕਤਾਂ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਘਰ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਸਨ। ਇਕ ਧਨਵਾਨ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਦੀ ਨੂਪ (ਅਨੂਪ) ਕੌਰ ਨਾਮੀ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਆਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਦੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਉਤੇ ਮੋਹਿਤ ਹੋ ਗਈ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੇ ਮਗਨ ਨਾਮੀ ਇਕ ਸੇਵਕ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਝ ਪੈਸਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਲਾਲਚ ਦੇ ਕੇ ਆਖਿਆ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਾਲਿਕ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਕਹਿ ਕੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਭੇਜੇ ਕਿ ਜੋ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਉਹ ਸਿਖਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉਹ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਹੈ। 
    ਰਾਜਾ ਸਾਧੂ ਦਾ ਰੂਪ ਧਾਰਨ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਅਕਾਲ-ਪੁਰਖ ਦਾ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਦੇ ਘਰ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਗਿਆ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਸੰਨਿਆਸੀਆਂ ਵਾਲੇ ਵਸਤ੍ਰ ਉਤਾਰ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਸਾਧਾਰਨ ਵੇਸ਼-ਭੂਸਾ ਧਾਰਨ ਕੀਤੀ। ਰਾਜੇ ਨੂੰ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਿੰਗਾਰਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਫੁਲ, ਪਾਨ, ਸ਼ਰਾਬ ਆਦਿ ਭੇਟ ਕੀਤੀ। ਰਾਜੇ ਵਲੋਂ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਸਤਾਂ ਦੇ ਸੇਵਨ ਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਉਲੇਖ ਨਹੀਂ, ਕੇਵਲ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਵਲੋਂ ਭੇਟ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾਣ ਦਾ ਉਲੇਖ ਹੈ। ਅਜਿਹੇ ਕਈ ਮਿਤਰ ਸਾਡੇ ਘਰਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਅਕਸਰ ਆਉਂਦੇ-ਜਾਂਦੇ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਂ ਚਾਹ ਦਾ ਕੱਪ ਭੇਟ ਕਰੀਏ, ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਚਾਹ ਬਿਲਕੁਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਪੀਂਦਾ। ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਨੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਨੂੰ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਕਾਮਦੇਵ ਤੋਂ ਹਾਰ ਚੁਕੀ ਹਾਂ। ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਰੂਪ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਅਕਤਿਤ੍ਵ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਵਿਕ ਚੁਕੀ ਹਾਂ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਕਾਮੁਕ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਬਣਾਓ, ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਹੀ ਬਚ ਸਕਦੀ ਹਾਂ। ਰਾਜਾ ਸਮਝਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਸੋਚਣਾ ਵੀ ਪਾਪ ਹੈ। ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੀ ਸਿਖ ਹੈਂ ਅਤੇ ਸਿਖ ਨਾਲ ਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਅਯੋਗ ਹਨ, ਨਰਕ ਵਿਚ ਲਿਜਾਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਹਨ। ਪਰ ਉਹ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਹਠ ਉਤੇ ਅੜੀ, ਹਰ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਯੁਕਤੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਆਪਣੀ ਵਾਸ਼ਨਾ-ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਯੋਗ ਠਹਿਰਾਉਂਦੀ, ਬੇਨਤੀਆਂ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਜਿਤਨੇ ਬਲਸਾਲੀ ਸ਼ਬਦਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਕਾਮ-ਆਤੁਰਤਾ ਦੀ ਉਚਿਤਤਾ ਦਸ ਕੇ ਇਸ ਦੀ ਪੂਰਤੀ ਲਈ ਬੇਨਤੀਆਂ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਰਾਜਾ ਉਸ ਤੋਂ ਕਿਤੇ ਵਧੀਕ ਬਲਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਸ਼ਬਦਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਅਯੋਗ ਸੰਬੰਧਾਂ ਦੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਕ ਪਾਸੇ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਨ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਇਸ ਸੰਕਲਪ ਨੂੰ ਦ੍ਰਿੜ੍ਹ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਅਯੋਗ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਉਹ ਕਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਣਾਏਗਾ, ਦੂਜੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਉਸ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਦੀ ਹਰ ਯੁਕਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਅਨੁਚਿਤ ਦਰਸਾਉਂਦਿਆਂ ਪੂਰੀ ਮਾਨਵਤਾ ਨੂੰ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਤੋਂ ਵਰਜਿਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਰਾਜੇ ਨੇ ਕਾਮੁਕ ਸੰਬੰਧਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਬਚਣ ਦੀ ਜੋ ਉਤਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਨਾ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਦਿਤੀ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਹੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਸਾਹਿਤਿਕ ਜਾਂ ਅਧਿਆਤਮਕ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਵਿਚ ਮਿਲ ਸਕੇ। ਰਾਜੇ ਅਤੇ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਦੇ ਵਾਰਤਾਲਾਪ ਦੇ ਕੀਮਤੀ ਅੰਸ਼ ਮੈਂ ਮਗਰੋਂ ਪ੍ਰਸਤੁਤ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ।
    ਰਾਜੇ ਦਾ ਹਠ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਉਸ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਨੇ ਡਰਾਉਣ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਚੋਰ-ਚੋਰ ਕਹਿ ਕੇ ਸ਼ੋਰ ਮਚਾਇਆ। ਉਸ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਦੇ ਸੇਵਕ ਅਤੇ ਆਸ-ਪਾਸ ਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਜਾਗ ਪਏ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਨੂੰ ਚਾਰੇ ਪਾਸਿਓਂ ਘੇਰ ਲਿਆ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਕੁਝ ਨੇ ਤਲਵਾਰਾਂ ਸੂਤ ਲਈਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਲਲਕਾਰ ਕੇ ਕਿਹਾ “ਤੈਨੂੰ  ਭਜਣ ਨਹੀਂ ਦੇਵਾਂਗੇ।” ਜਦੋਂ ਘਿਰੇ ਹੋਏ ਰਾਜੇ ਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਓ ਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਤਰੀਕਾ ਨਾ ਦਿਸਿਆ, ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਦੇ ਭਾਈ ਦੇ ਸਿਰ ਉਤੋਂ ਪਗੜੀ ਲਾਹ ਦਿਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਪਕੜ ਕੇ ਸ਼ੋਰ ਮਚਾਇਆ ਕਿ ਚੋਰ ਇਹ ਹੈ। ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਚੋਰ ਜਾਣ ਕੇ ਪਕੜ ਲਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਮਾਰ-ਕੁਟਾਈ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਅਧਿਕਾਰੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਹਵਾਲੇ ਕਰ ਦਿਤਾ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਜੇਲ੍ਹ ਭੇਜ ਦਿਤਾ। ਸਵੇਰੇ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਨੇ ਇਕ ਹੋਰ ਚਾਲ ਚਲੀ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੀ ਜੁਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਚੋਲਾ ਵਿਖਾ ਕੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਹਿ ਦਿਤਾ ਕਿ ਅਸਲ ਵਿਚ ਰਾਜਾ ਹੀ ਮੇਰੇ ਘਰ ਚੋਰੀ ਕਰਨ ਆਇਆ ਸੀ, ਮੇਰਾ ਭਰਾ ਨਿਰਦੋਸ਼ ਹੈ। ਪਰ ਰਾਜੇ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਇਸ ਮਕਾਰੀ ਦਾ ਜਵਾਬ ਦੇਣ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸਿਖ-ਸੇਵਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਸਾਡੀ ਜੁਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਚੋਲਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੇ ਚੁਰਾ ਲਿਆ ਹੈ। ਸਿਖਾਂ ਨੇ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਨੂੰ ਪਕੜ ਕੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੇ ਦਰਬਾਰ ਵਿਚ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕੀਤਾ। ਰਾਏ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸਿਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਸੀਹਤ ਦਿਤੀ ਕਿ ਉਸ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਨਾਲ ਦੁਰ-ਵਿਵਹਾਰ ਬਿਲਕੁਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ।
    ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਨੂੰ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੇ ਦਰਬਾਰ ਵਿਚ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕੀਤਾ, ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਅਖਾਂ ਨੀਵੀਆਂ ਹੋ ਗਈਆਂ। ਉਹ ਬਹੁਤ ਸ਼ਰਮਸਾਰ ਹੋਈ। ਰਾਏ ਨੇ ਸਿਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ ‘ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਝ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਹਿਣਾ। ਕੇਵਲ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਘਰ ਵਿਚ ਹੀ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਨਜ਼ਰਬੰਦ ਕਰ ਦਿਓ। ਅਸੀਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਫਿਰ ਕਿਸੇ ਵਿਹਲੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਬੁਲਾ ਕੇ ਗਲ ਕਰਾਂਗੇ।’ ਅਗਲੀ ਸਵੇਰ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਨੂੰ ਬੁਲਾ ਕੇ ਰਾਏ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਤੂੰ ਕਾਮ-ਵਸ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਸਾਡੇ ਉਤੇ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੀ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਕਰਨਾ ਪਿਆ। ਉਸ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਨੇ ਮੁਆਫ਼ੀ ਮੰਗਦਿਆਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਅਗੇ ਤੋਂ ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਉਹ ਅਜਿਹੀ ਗੱਲ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਲਿਆਵੇਗੀ। ਉਸ ਦਾ ਦੋਸ਼ ਮੁਆਫ਼ ਕਰ ਦਿਤਾ ਜਾਵੇ। ਰਾਏ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਭਰਾ ਨੂੰ ਰਿਹਾ ਕਰਵਾ ਦਿਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਦੇ ਵਲ-ਛਲ ਤੋਂ ਬਚਾਓ ਹਿਤ ਜੋ ਕੌਤੁਕ ਕੀਤਾ, ਉਸ ਲਈ ਖਿਮਾ ਵੀ ਮੰਗੀ। ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਰਾਜੇ ਦੀ ਸਿਖ ਹੋ ਗਈ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਵਲੋਂ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਗ਼ੁਜ਼ਰਾਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਹਰ ਛੇ ਮਹੀਨਿਆਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਵੀਹ ਹਜ਼ਾਰ ਟਕੇ ਦੇਣ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਬੰਧ ਕਰਵਾ ਦਿਤਾ। ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਇਹ ਤਥ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਜੀਵਨ ਦਾ ਬਾਕੀ ਭਾਗ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਗੁਰੂ-ਚਰਨਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਰਹਿ ਕੇ ਸੇਵਾ-ਸਿਮਰਨ ਕਰਨ ਨੂੰ ਸਮਰਪਿਤ ਕਰ ਦਿਤਾ, ਨਹੀਂ ਤਾਂ ਧਨਵਾਨ ਦੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਹੋਣ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਗ਼ੁਜ਼ਾਰਾ-ਭੱਤੇ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਰੂਰਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ।
    ਸਿਖ ਇਤਿਹਾਸਕਾਰ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਨੂੰ ਸਿਖਿਆਦਾਇਕ ਕਾਲਪਨਿਕ ਕਥਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਮੰਨਦੇ, ਬਲਕਿ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਨੂੰ ਇਕ ਇਤਿਹਾਸਿਕ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਮੰਨਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜੋ ਉਕਤ ਘਟਨਾ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਸਚੀ-ਸੁਚੀ ਸੇਵਿਕਾ ਬਣ ਗਈ। ਸ਼ੇਰ ਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਖਾਂ ਮਲੇਰਕੋਟਲੀਏ ਨੇ ਜਦੋਂ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਪੱਤ ਲੁਟਣ ਦਾ ਯਤਨ ਕੀਤਾ, ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਣ ਤਿਆਗ ਦਿਤੇ। ਸ਼ੇਰ ਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਨੇ ਆਪਣ ਪਾਪ ਨੂੰ ਛਿਪਾਉਣ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਲਾਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਕਬਰ ਵਿਚ ਦਫ਼ਨ ਕਰ ਦਿਤਾ। ਬਾਬਾ ਬੰਦਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਦੇ ਮਲੇਰਕੋਟਲੇ ਉਤੇ ਹਮਲੇ ਸਮੇਂ, ਉਸ ਦਾ ਸਰੀਰ ਕਬਰ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਕਢਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਸਿਖ ਰੀਤੀਆਂ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਸੰਸਕਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ। ਚਰਚਿਤ ਤਿੰਨ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ ਅਤੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਸੰਵਾਦ ਕਾਮੁਕ-ਉਤੇਜਨਾ ਦੇ ਵਰਣਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਾਮ-ਮੁਕਤੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਉਚਤਮ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਨਾ ਪਖੋਂ ਇਕ ਅਤਿ-ਉਤਮ ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਹੈ। ਜੇ ਸਿਖ ਫ਼ਜ਼ੂਲ ਦੇ ਝਗੜੇ ਛਡ ਕੇ ਇਸ ਕਥਾ ਵਿਚਲੇ ਸੰਵਾਦ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਦੇ ਕੋਨੇ-ਕੋਨੇ ਵਿਚ ਪਹੁੰਚਾ ਸਕਦੇ, ਤਾਂ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਵਿਚ ਅਭੂਤਪੂਰਵ ਵਾਧਾ ਹੋਣਾ ਸੀ। ਕਾਮ ਤੋਂ ਜਨਮੇ ਅਪਰਾਧਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਮਾਨਵ-ਸਮਾਜ ਨੂੰ ਮੁਕਤ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਚੰਗੇਰੀ ਰਚਨਾ ਲਭਣੀ ਮੁਸ਼ਕਿਲ ਹੈ। ਅਸੀਂ ਪਾਠਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਇਸ ਸੰਵਾਦ ਦੇ ਕੁਝ ਮਹਤਵਪੂਰਨ ਅੰਸ਼ ਪ੍ਰਸਤੁਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ। ਕਿਸੇ ਪੰਕਤੀ ਦੇ ਭਾਵ ਵਿਚ ਅਸਾਂ ਰਤਾ ਵੀ ਪਰਿਵਰਤਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ, ਹਾਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਿਧਾ-ਸਿਧਾ ਅਨੁਵਾਦ ਭਾਵੇਂ ਨਾ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਾਵੇ-
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਮੈਂ ਸ਼ਿਵ ਦੇ ਵੈਰੀ ਕਾਮਦੇਵ ਤੋਂ ਪੀੜਿਤ ਹਾਂ। ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਤੋਂ ਵਿਕ ਚੁਕੀ ਹਾਂ। ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਕਾਮ-ਭੋਗ ਕਰੋ। ਪੂਜਣਯੋਗ ਹੋ ਗਏ ਤਾਂ ਕੀ ਹੋਇਆ ? ਧਨਵਾਨ (ਗੁਣਵੰਤ) ਹੋ, ਤਾਂ ਨਿਰਧਨਾਂ (ਔਗੁਣਵੰਤਿਆਂ) ਨੂੰ ਕਿਉਂ ਸਤਾਉਂਦੇ ਹੋ ? ਇਹ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਰੂਪਵੰਤ ਹੋ, ਪਰ ਅਭਿਮਾਨ ਕਿਉਂ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋ ? ਧਨ, ਜੋਬਨ ਆਖ਼ਿਰ ਚਾਰ ਦਿਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਹੁਣਾ ਹੈ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਧਰਮ-ਕਰਮ ਨਾਲ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਜੀਵਨ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ। ਧਰਮ ਤੋਂ ਹੀ ਸੁੰਦਰਤਾ ਮਿਲਦੀ ਹੈ। ਧਨ-ਧਾਮ ਧਰਮ ਤੋਂ ਮਿਲਦੇ ਹਨ। ਧਰਮ ਹੀ ਰਾਜ ਦੀ ਸ਼ੋਭਾ ਹੈ। ਤੇਰਾ ਕਿਹਾ ਮੰਨ ਕੇ ਧਰਮ ਦਾ ਤਿਆਗ ਕਿਉਂ ਕਰਾਂ ? ਕਿਉਂ ਇਸ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਕਾਇਆ ਨੂੰ (ਕਾਮ ਦੇ) ਨਰਕ ਵਿਚ ਸੁਟਾਂ। ਤੇਰਾ ਕਿਹਾ ਮੰਨ ਕੇ ਕਦੇ ਕਾਮ-ਭੋਗ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ। ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਕੁਲ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਉਂ ਦਾਗ਼ ਲਗਾਵਾਂ ? ਮੈਂ ਵਿਆਹੁਤਾ ਪਤਨੀ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਗ ਕੇ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਭੋਗ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ। ਭੋਗ-ਵਿਲਾਸ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਮੈਂ ਧਰਮਰਾਜ ਦੀ ਸਭਾ ਵਿਚ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਸ਼ੋਭਾ ਪਾ ਸਕਾਂਗਾ ?
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਕਾਮਤੁਰ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਜੇ ਮਰਦ ਕੋਲ ਜਾਵੇ। ਉਹ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਰਾਸ਼ ਜਾਣ ਦੇਵੇ, ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਮਹਾਨ ਨਰਕ ਵਿਚ ਹੀ ਸੁਟਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਤੂੰ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਪੈਰੀਂ ਪੈਂਦੀ ਹੈਂ, ਮੇਰੀ ਪੂਜਾ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈਂ। ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਭੋਗ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਰਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਵੇਗੀ।
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਣ ਵੀ ਜਗਤ ਵਿਚ ਪੂਜੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਸਨ, ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਰਾਸ-ਲੀਲਾ ਰਚਦੇ ਸਨ। ਰਾਧਾ ਨਾਲ ਭੋਗ ਕਰ ਕੇ, ਉਹ ਤਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਨਰਕ ਵਿਚ ਚਲੇ ਗਏ। ਰੱਬ ਨੇ ਇਨਸਾਨ ਦੀ ਦੇਹੀ ਪੰਜ ਤਤਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਬਣਾਈ ਹੈ। ਕਾਮ-ਭੋਗਣ ਨਾਲ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਰਕ ਪੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ ? ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ-ਪੁਰੁਖ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਉਸੇ ਨੇ ਬਣਾਈ ਹੈ। ਮੇਰੇ ਸਰੀਰ ਵਿਚ ਕਾਮ-ਅਗਨੀ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤ ਕਰੋ। ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਸੰਜੋਗ ਬਿਨਾ ਮੈਂ ਵਿਜੋਗ ਵਿਚ ਸੜ ਮਰਾਂਗੀ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਹੇ ਜੋਬਨਵੰਤੀ ! ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਧੀਰਜ ਕਰ, ਕਾਮਦੇਵ ਤੇਰਾ ਕੀ ਵਿਗਾੜੇਗਾ ? ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਮਹਾ ਰੁਦ੍ਰ (ਪ੍ਰਭੂ) ਦਾ ਧਿਆਨ ਕਰ, ਤੇਰਾ ਕਾਮ ਦਾ ਸੰਤਾਪ ਨਸ਼ਟ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ। ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਧਰਮ-ਪਤਨੀ ਤਿਆਗ ਕੇ ਨਾ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਣਾਵਾਂਗਾ, ਨਾ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਸਹਿਤ ਭੋਗ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ। ਤੇਰਾ ਕਿਹਾ ਮੰਨ ਕੇ ਕਾਮ-ਭੋਗ ਕਿਉਂ ਕਰਾਂ ? ਕਿਉਂ ਨਰਕ ਵਿਚ ਜਾਵਾਂ ? ਮੈਂ ਧਰਮ ਦੇ ਵੈਰੀ ਕਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਗ੍ਰਹਿਣ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ। ਕਾਮ ਵਿਚ (ਦੁਨੀਆਂ ਅੰਦਰ) ਮੇਰੇ ਅਪਜਸ ਦੀ ਕਥਾ ਚਲ ਪਵੇਗੀ। ਮੈਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੂੰਹ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਵਿਖਾਵਾਂਗਾ ? ਧਰਮ ਰਾਜ ਨੂੰ ਜਵਾਬ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਦੇਵਾਂਗਾ ? ਹੇ ਸੁੰਦਰੀ ! ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਇਸ਼ਕ ਦੇ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਛਡ ਦੇ। ਜੋ ਤੂੰ ਕਹਿ ਦਿਤਾ ਸੋ ਕਹਿ ਦਿਤਾ, ਫਿਰ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਕਹਿਣ ਦਾ ਕਦੇ ਸਾਹਸ ਨਾ ਕਰਨਾ।
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ! ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਭੋਗ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਨਰਕ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਓਗੇ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮਨ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਇਹ ਡਰ ਤਿਆਗ ਦਿਓ। ਲੋਕ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ, ਉਹ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਤੋਂ ਡਰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਫਿਰ ਜੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਪਤਾ ਲਗੇਗਾ, ਤਾਂ ਹੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ। ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਜਾਣ ਵੀ ਲਵੇ, ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਤੋਂ ਡਰ ਕੇ ਚੁਪ ਰਹੇਗਾ। ਭੋਗ ਨਾ ਕਰੋਗੇ, ਤਾਂ ਲੱਤ ਹੇਠੋਂ ਨਿਕਲਣਾ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਲੱਤਾਂ ਹੇਠੋਂ ਉਹ ਨਿਕਲੇਗਾ, ਜੋ ਕਾਮ ਦੇ ਅਸਮਰਥ ਹੋਵੇ। ਨਪੁੰਸਕ ਹੋਵੇ। ਮੈਂ ਧਰਮ ਦਾ ਬੰਨ੍ਹਿਆ, ਲੋਕ ਮਰਯਾਦਾ ਦਾ ਬੰਨ੍ਹਿਆ ਕਾਮ-ਭੋਗ ਤੋਂ ਨਿਰਲਿਪਤ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਕਿਸੇ ਸਰੀਰਿਕ ਹੀਣਤਾ ਕਾਰਨ ਨਹੀਂ॥
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਤੁਸੀਂ ਅਨੇਕ ਯਤਨ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਵੀ ਇਥੋਂ ਭੋਗ-ਵਿਲਾਸ ਕੀਤੇ ਬਿਨਾ ਜਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਕਦੇ। ਅਜ ਰਾਤ ਕਾਮ-ਕ੍ਰੀੜਾ ਕਰਨੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ। ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਕਾਸ਼ੀ ਵਿਚ ਆਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਚੀਰੇ ਜਾਣ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਤਿਆਰ ਹਾਂ। ਧਰਮਰਾਜ ਦੀ ਸਭਾ ਵਿਚ ਡਟ ਕੇ ਉਤਰ ਦੇ ਸਕਦੀ ਹਾਂ। ਅਜ ਦੀ ਰਾਤ ਮੈਂ ਰੁਚੀ ਪੂਰਵਕ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਕਾਮ-ਆਨੰਦ ਮਾਣਾਂਗੀ। ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਸੰਜੋਗ ਨਾਲ ਮੈਂ ਅਜ ਸ਼ਿਵ ਦੇ ਵੈਰੀ ਕਾਮਦੇਵ ਦਾ ਅਹੰਕਾਰ ਤੋੜ ਦੇਵਾਂਗੀ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਤਾਂ ਅਕਾਲ-ਪੁਰੁਖ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਖਤਰੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਸ਼ਠ ਕੁਲ ਵਿਚ ਪੈਦਾ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ। ਫਿਰ (ਗੁਰੁਗਦੀ ਤੇ ਵਿਰਾਜਮਾਨ ਕਰ ਕੇ) ਸਾਡੀ ਕੁਲ ਨੂੰ ਜਗਤ ਵਿਚ ਸਨਮਾਨ ਦਿਤਾ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਸਾਰਿਆਂ ਵਿਚ ਬੈਠ ਕੇ ਪੂਜਣਯੋਗ ਅਖਵਾਉਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਕਾਮਭੋਗ ਕੇ ਨੀਚ ਕੁਲ ਵਿਚ ਜਾਵਾਂਗਾ।
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਜਨਮ ਦੀ ਕੀ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ ? ਜਨਮ ਤਾਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਹੀ ਅਧੀਨ ਹਨ। ਜੇ ਅਜ ਮੇਰਾ ਸੰਗ ਨਾ ਕਰੋਗੇ, ਤਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੀ ਬਦਨਸੀਬੀ ਸਮਝਾਂਗੀ। ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਵਿਜੋਗ ਵਿਚ ਸੜ ਮਰਾਂਗੀ, ਜ਼ਹਿਰ ਪੀ ਲਵਾਂਗੀ। ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਜੋਗ ਕਰੋ, ਤਾਂ ਕਿ ਦਿਲ ਦਾ ਰੋਗ ਦੂਰ ਹੋਵੇ। ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਸੰਗ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲ ਰਿਹਾ, ਮੇਰੀ ਕਾਮ-ਅਗਨੀ ਭੜਕ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਭਾਂਵੇਂ ਤੂੰ ਕਿਤਨੀ ਕਾਮਾਤੁਰ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਂ ? ਮੈਂ ਇਹ ਪਾਪ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ।
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ਰ ਨੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਜਵਾਨੀ ਦਿਤੀ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਵੀ ਜਵਾਨ ਹਾਂ। ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਜਵਾਨੀ ਅਤੇ ਸੁੰਦਰਤਾ ਨੇ ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਅਗ ਲਾ ਦਿਤੀ ਹੈ। ਸਭ ਸ਼ੰਕੇ ਛਡ ਕੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਸੰਗ ਮਾਣੋ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਜੋ ਸੁੰਦਰੀ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਪੂਜਣਯੋਗ ਮੰਨ ਕੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਦਰਬਾਰ ਵਿਚ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਪੁਤਰੀ ਸਮਾਨ ਹੈ। ਕਾਮ-ਅੰਧ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਝੂਠੀ ਹੈ, ਕਦੇ ਓੜਕ ਨਹੀਂ ਨਿਭਦੀ। ਇਕ ਮਰਦ ਛਡਿਆ, ਦੂਜਾ ਗ੍ਰਹਿਣ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ। ਇਹ ਕਾਹਦੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਹੈ, ਕੇਵਲ ਨੰਗਾ ਸਰੀਰ ਦੂਜੇ ਦੇ ਹਵਾਲੇ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਕਰਮ ਹੈ।
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਕੀ ਕਰਾਂ ? ਕਾਮ ਤੋਂ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਬਚਾਂ ? ਮਨ ਸ਼ਾਂਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦਾ। ਤੈਨੂੰ ਮਾਰ ਕੇ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਜੀਵਾਂ ? ਤੇਰੇ ਬੋਲ ਬਹੁਤ ਰਸੀਲੇ ਲਗਦੇ ਹਨ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਹੇ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ! ਤੇਰਾ ਰੂਪ ਧੰਨ ਹੈ। ਤੇਰੇ ਜਨਮ-ਦਾਤੇ ਧੰਨ ਹਨ। ਤੇਰਾ ਦੇਸ਼ ਧੰਨ ਹੈ। ਧੰਨ ਹੈ ਉਹ, ਜਿਸ ਨੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕੀਤੀ। ਤੇਰਾ ਮੁਖੜਾ ਧੰਨ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਦੀ ਸ਼ੋਭਾ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਕਮਲ, ਸੂਰਜ, ਚੰਦ੍ਰਮਾ ਅਤੇ ਕਾਮਦੇਵ ਦਾ ਅਹੰਕਾਰ ਚੂਰ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਤੇਰਾ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਸਰੀਰ ਸੌਭਾਗਸ਼ਾਲੀ ਹੈ। ਤੇਰੇ ਸੋਹਣੇ ਚੰਚਲ ਨੈਣ ਸਜੀਲੇ ਹਨ। ਇਹ ਪੰਛੀਆਂ, ਹਿਰਣਾਂ, ਯਕਸ਼ਾਂ, ਸਪਾਂ, ਦੈਤਾਂ, ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ, ਮੁਨੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਪੁਰਖਾਂ ਦਾ ਮਨ ਮੋਹ ਲੈਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਸ਼ਿਵ ਅਤੇ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਦੇ ਚਾਰ ਪੁਤਰ ਤੇਰੇ ਨੈਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਥਕ ਗਏ ਹਨ। ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਹੈਰਾਨ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਮੇਰੇ ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਚੁਭਦੇ।
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਬਿਸਤਰ ਉਤੇ ਲੇਟ ਕੇ ਵੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਝ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਸਾਂਗੀ। ਕਾਮ-ਲਿਪਤ ਹੋਇਆਂ ਸਾਰੀ ਰਾਤ ਇਉਂ ਪਲਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਗ਼ੁਜ਼ਰ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ। ਇਸ ਭੋਗ ਦਾ ਸਵਾਦ ਇਤਨਾ ਵੀ ਫਿਕਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦਾ। ਹੇ ਸਜਣੀ ! ਜਾਗਣ ਤੇ ਲਾਜ ਲਗਦੀ ਹੈ। ਜਾਗਣ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਬਸ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਸੌਣ ਹੀ ਚੰਗਾ ਹੈ। ਅਜ ਜਾਂ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਸੰਗ ਮਾਣਾਂਗੀ, ਜਾਂ ਜ਼ਹਿਰ ਖਾ ਕੇ ਮਰ ਜਾਵਾਂਗੀ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਤੇਰੇ ਨੈਣ ਤੀਰ ਵਰਗੇ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਮੇਰਾ ਕਵਚ ਹਯਾ ਹੈ। ਤੇਰੇ ਨੈਣ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਜੇ ਹਨ। ਵੇਖਦਿਆਂ ਹੀ ਗਿਆਨ ਹਰ ਲੈਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਪਰ ਇਹ ਤੀਰ ਮੇਰੇ ਦਿਲ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਖੁਭ ਸਕਦੇ। ਗਲਘੋਟੂ ਬੇਰਾਂ ਵਾਂਗ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਕੋਈ ਖਿਚ ਨਹੀਂ।
ਅਨੂਪ ਕੌਰ : ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਤੋਂ ਤਾਂ ਬੇਰੀ ਹੀ ਧੰਨ ਹੈ। ਰਾਹੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਬੇਰ ਖੁਆ ਕੇ ਘਰ ਜਾਣ ਦੇਂਦੀ ਹੈ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ : ਮੈਂ ਜਦੋਂ ਤੋਂ ਹੋਸ਼ ਸੰਭਾਲੀ ਹੈ, ਮੇਰੇ ਗੁਰੁਦੇਵ ਪਿਤਾ ਨੇ ਇਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਗਿਆ ਦ੍ਰਿੜ੍ਹ ਕਰਵਾਈ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਜਦੋਂ ਤਕ ਸਰੀਰ ਵਿਚ ਪ੍ਰਾਣ ਹਨ, ਆਪਣੀ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਵਧਾਉਂਦੇ ਰਹਿਣਾ, ਪਰ ਪਰਾਈ ਨਾਰੀ ਦੀ ਸੇਜ ਉਤੇ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਵਿਚ ਵੀ ਨਾ ਜਾਣਾ। ਪਰਨਾਰੀ ਦੇ ਸੰਜੋਗ ਕਾਰਨ ਇੰਦ੍ਰ ਸਹਸ-ਭਗਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਨਾਲ ਕੁਰੂਪ ਹੋਇਆ। ਪਰਨਾਰੀ ਦੇ ਸੰਗ ਕਾਰਨ ਚੰਦ੍ਰਮਾ ਕਲੰਕਿਤ ਹੋਇਆ। ਪਰਨਾਰੀ ਕਾਰਨ ਰਾਵਣ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਗਿਆ। ਪਰਨਾਰੀ ਕਾਰਨ ਕੌਰਵਾਂ ਦੀ ਵਿਸ਼ਾਲ ਸੈਨਾ ਨਸ਼ਟ ਹੋ ਗਈ। ਪਰਨਾਰੀ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਤਿਖੀ ਛੁਰੀ ਸਮਝੋ। ਪਰਨਾਰੀ ਦਾ ਸੰਗ ਸਰੀਰਿਕ ਮੌਤ ਸਮਝੋ। ਪਰਨਾਰੀ ਭੋਗਣ ਵਲਾ ਮਕਾਰ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਚੰਡਾਲ ਹਥੋਂ ਕੁਤੇ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਮਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਮੇਰੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਸੀ- ਹੇ ਬਾਲਕ ! ਸਾਡੇ ਕੋਲ ਦੂਰ ਦੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਨਾਰੀਆਂ ਆਉਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਸਾਨੂੰ ਗੁਰੂ ਜਾਣ ਕੇ, ਸੀਸ ਝੁਕਾ ਕੇ ਮਨ-ਬਾਂਛਤ ਵਰਦਾਨ ਪਾਉਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਤੂੰ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਸਿਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੁਤਰ ਅਤੇ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੁਤਰੀਆਂ ਸਮਝਣਾ। ਹੁਣ ਪਿਤਾ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਪੁਨੀਤ ਸਿਖਿਆ ਵਿਰੁਧ ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਪੁਤਰੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਕਾਮਭੋਗ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ ਹਾਂ ?

Shaheed Bhai Anokh Singh ji Babbar

31st August is Shaheedi Diwas of three great Shaheeds of Khalsa Panth, Bhai Sahib Bhai Anokh Singh ji Babbar, Bhai Dilawar Singh ji Babbar and Bhai Gurjant Singh ji Rajasthani. All Shaheeds are respectful, irrespective of which Jathebandi they belonged to, what actions they did and how they laid down their life. It’s not in hands of a Shaheed to choose form of death; it is pre-ordained destiny, karam of a Shaheed which takes him to the Eternal moment of Glory- Moment of Shaheedi.

This material world, its pleasures and tastes, joys and sorrows, the mansions and riches matter to them who are bound by the chains of Attachment and Vikaars. But those who have had Ras of Naam, experienced life beyond this mind and body, experienced Immortality, have broken the shackles of Moh and Maaya go beyond the reach of wordly desires and wishes. There mind is forever imbued in naam, self merged in Infinite Akaal Purakh. They live on this world as soldiers of God, fulfilling their dutied assigned by Waheguru Akaal Purakh.


Bhai Anokh Singh ji was the one such great soul who was loved and blessed by Guru Parmeshwar and Singhs across all Jathebandis respected him and loved him. He worked as an Inspector in SGPC and here he came in Sangat of Bhai Fauja Singh ji and started attending Khalsa Farm of Bhai Sahib, where Simran sessions, Shastarvidya Abhyaas and Gurmat vichars were carried out by Gursikhs. After Bhai Fauja Singh ji and 12 other Singh’s Shaheedi in 1978, Bhai Sahib along with other Gursikhs got together and took upon the sewa of punishing the enemies of Panth under leadership of Bhai Talwinder Singh ji Parmar, inspired by Sant Baba Jarnail Singh ji.


Bhai Sahib had great love for Singhs of Damdami Taksal and Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa Bhindranwale. Infact, it was Bhai sahib only who had gone to Santji in Akaal Takhat Sahib on night of 4th June 1984 to take arms and ammunitions for Babbar Singhs when ammunition of Babbar Singhs had finished on their morchas at Gurudwara Baba Attal Rai. Santji had said lovingly,’Anokh Singha, take as much ammunition you want, you all are my brothers, but still I wish you break the Ghera(cordon) and leave the complex. Panth needs you and your guidance after all this (Bluestar) ends’’.

Bhai Sahib said, Sat bachan Santji, we’ll fight till the last bullet, and if I survive till then, I’ll move out and carry on the mission you have entrusted upon us. Saying this Bhai Sahib left Akaal Takhat Sahib and left Darbar Sahib Complex on night of 5th June. Bhai Sahib was the last Babbar to leave Darbar Sahib Complex. Afterwards he was worked as ideologue of Babbar Khalsa and spiritual guide to hundreds of Babbar Singhs. He was the main Singh responsible alongwith Bhai Sukhdev Singh ji for removing the tag of Babbars being Jatha of Akhand Kirtani Singhs. During his sewa, he walked along with whole Panth, Singhs of all Jathebandis and backgrounds were welcomed in Babbar Khalsa, given they believed in Panthic Unity, Charhdi kala and struggle for freedom. He was very close to Bhai Sukhdev Singh ji Sakheera of Damdami Taksal as Bhai Sakheera’s sister was married to Bhai Anokh Singh ji’s brother Bhai Santokh Singh, and had planned and carried out many actions jointly with Bhai Sakheera. Bhai Sukhdev Singh attained Shaheedi in May 1986.

Bhai Sahib Ji was arrested on 20th August 1987 from Vairowal in Amritsar. He was the biggest catch for Punjab Police till date from Babbar Khalsa. He was tortured badly but Bhai Sahib didn’t give up on Sikhi sidak and well-being of his brothers who were fighting for Panth. His Shaheedi reminisces that of Bhai Sahib Bhai Mani Singh ji. Bhai Sahib’s thighs were cut open; salt was thrown on his wounds, his knees broken, his stomach pierced with hot iron rods, electric current was passed through wounds of his stomach and private parts of his body. After heavy torture when he didn’t give up, Amritsar police shifted him to Patiala. Most of the people don’t know, but it’s a fact that Bhai Anokh Singh ji was killed by Patiala police. A Singh who was part of movement told me this horrifying story. SSP of Patiala that time had ordered his Shaheedi to be video graphed.
(The Singh I met told me how Patiala police used to show his torture video to people arrested, after seeing which most of the people used to give up. But for those who had Guru’s mercy on them, the video worked in an opposite way. He told that Bhai Sahib didn’t cry, didn’t shout, didn’t say any word of helplessness, didn’t ask the butchers to leave him, instead as he was tortured, glow on his face increased, the blood on his body shined more, and his smile grew with name Waheguru. It served as an inspiration to others, that if Bhai Sahib ji can bear so much pain with smile and Waheguru on his lips, why cant they? The singh and his father were both arrested and shown that video, which gave them power to endure pain and suffering on path of Guru, whereas week hearted gave up only after seeing initial stages of torture. Singh’s father was tortured heavily, whereas he himself had to face handicap and impotence after torture.)

The way Bhai Sahib was killed was the most brutal in present times. His fingers were cut tip by tip. His body was cut open, eyes gouged out but Bhai Sahib had just one word on his tongue, Waheguru. But this one word also irked the butcher Punjab police, so they cut off Bhai Sahib ji’s tongue. They thought they had stopped his simran, ended his love for his Guru, but fools didn’t know that Brahmgiani Gursikhs don’t need Body to do Simran. Their Surat is attached to Shabad all the time, and Bhai Sahib ji’s rom rom started saying Waheguru. At last after so much brutality, when Bhai Shaib ji didn’t give up and didn’t tell police any secrets of Mission, Babbar Khalsa or whereabouts of fellow brothers, police shot him dead. Bhai Sahib’s badly mutilated body was thrown in River Beas. They killed a person, but his Love, his memories, his sacrifice, his faith, his dedication still inspires and will inspire generations of Sikhs for centuries, who’ll always remember Bhai Sahib ji as a Anokha(unique) Marytr of Sikh Panth. Bhai sahib was loved by all and he’s still loved by all, irrespective of Jathebandis and Dals. His personality and jeevan was so great that all felt oneness with him.

This Panth needs Gurmukhs like Bhai Anokh Singh ji Babbar who had the ability to rise above groupism and sectarianism, unite their self with the mission Guru gave him and stayed committed and truthful to his Faith and beliefs. Whenever the Holy Blood of Gursikhs like Bhai sahib is spilled, Warriors are born who take the Holy sword in their hands and destroy the butchers of humanity and uproot evil empires.

Shaheed Bhai Surinder Singh ji Sodhi


Bhai Surinder Singh Sodhi was the bravest of soldiers of Khalsa Panth in 20th century, forever ready to lay down his life for Panth, always tyar bar tyar to punish any Panth-dokhi, guru-nindak and carry out justice for Shaheed singhs who were killed in illegal police custody or encounters.

Bhai sahib had darshan of Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa in 1980. He was with Misal Shaheeda Tarna Dal, Harian wela then, doing sangat of Baba Nihal Singh ji. His close friend, Bhai Manbir Singh chaheru, had joined Taksal in 1980 and Sodhi had gone to Tarna Dal, but soon he joined ranks of Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa and vowed to remain with him till his last breath. He was a Charhdi Kala Gursikh, jovial, helpful and always imbued in Naam Baani. He carried out ‘Chalisa’ in Parikarma of Sri Harimandir sahib and had an 8 hour long Nitnem. He went in Samadhi many times during those years, getting up after 3-4 days. A heavenly fragrance was always emanating from his body, as was the case with Sant ji too. Gursikhs who have been with him told me that he was the one loved most by Santji, for his Spiritual awastha, his dedication, his love. Every word of Santji was like God’s command for him. He had piercing eyes, capable of seeing inside the mind of next person. No traitor ever passed his glance. He was a Handsome Gursikh, and Santji called him ‘Babbu’ with love. Whole Jatha of Damdami Taksal loved him, respected him and listened to his orders. From 1980 to 14th april 1984, he remained a dedicated soldier of Khalsa Panth, punishing traitors of Khalsa Panth.

Bhai Surinder Singh ji Sodhi, The Brave heart was once given a special message by Santji to be delivered to a Singh in a nearby village. But there was police cordon around Sri Amritsar and no one could pass without being checked. Sodhi took one of the most extraordinary routes to that village, he took his favourite ‘’Bullet’’ motorcycle on the railway tracks and drove it on tracks to reach that village. Villagers around Amritsar who had seen this feat still remember the day Sodhi did this, For Santji.

He was the one who got inside Punjab legislative assembly and shot secretary of Punjab Government who had issued oppressive orders against Panthic Singhs. BJP MLA, Harbans laal Khanna, who had carried out a violent procession of Hindus in Amritsar, which broke Model of Sri Darbar sahib at Amritsar railway station, threw cigarettes in face of Guru Ram Daas ji’s photo and gave out slogans like ‘’ Kacchh Kara Kirpaan, ehnu bhejo Pakistan’’, Dukki tikki rehan nai deni, Sir te Pagri rehan nai deni’’, was punished by Bhai sahib ji in a week’s time, when he was sitting in his shop with his bodyguards. Other singh involved in this action was Bhai labh singh ji.

List of Bhai sahib’s courageous acts is very long, and I’ll share with you all in due time. Bhai sahib ji was the most trusted soldier of Santji and never went against his orders. Enemy of Sikhs, Bhajan laal who had committed atrocities on Sikhs and got Sikhs killed in panipat was on the Hit-list of Singhs. Sodhi was sent for this mission by Santji, but on a condition. He was to shoot Bhajan laal ‘only’ if he could make it back to Santji. Sodhi, guised as a Navy officer, reached his office, sat with him and had tea. There were policemen and commandoes all around Bhajan laal. Sodhi called Santji and said it’s my last Fateh. I’m going to finish the Dusht but I’m not coming back. Santji ordered him that very moment to abort the mission and return, as he was needed. Sodhi had to return that day, and this showed how much Love and affection they both had for each other. Santji used to say ‘’ he is my son, not only in this life but from ages’’.

Enemies within Sikhs, people like Longowal, badal were working against Santji. They comspired to get Santji and Sodhi killed. Assassins were paid Rs.50 lakhs for killing Santji and 25 lakhs to kill Surinder Singh Sodhi. Government agencies wanted Sodhi out at any cost. They knew how much important he was for Sant Jarnail Singh ji, how he was his right-hand man, his trouble-shooter. They planned to handicap Santji by killing Sodhi. There was a big fear among agencies, as they knew that Surinder Singh sodhi was trained in Anti-tank mines and Anti-tank missiles. In case of an operation by the Army, he would have proved a big hurdle in getting to Santji and Akaal Takhat. So Longowal, his secretary Gurcharan, and Agencies of government paid 25 lakh rupees to a known smuggler Surinder Shinda and his keep baljit kaur. On 14th april 1984, Baljit called Sodhi to a tea shop near parikarma on pretext of sharing her problem with him, as she had convinced him that she looked upon him as her brother and wanted him to rescue her from the custody of Shinda. As Sodhi came in tea shop and sat, she started talking. Shinda appeared and shot bullets in Bhai sahib’s chest, but he didn’t fell and tried taking out his revolver. Then both of them shot at Bhai Sahib from their revolvers. Bhai sahib took 12 bullets in his body and fell down. As he lay in pool of blood, the assassins ran away. News of Sodhi’s Shaheedi spread like a jungle fire, and Santji was deeply pained. His words were ‘Today my Right arm has been cut, I’ve lost my beloved son, my Tiger has been killed, but killers should remember, I’m still alive’’. A plate was hanged on the door of Guru Ramdas langar, on which Sodhi’s killers were promised to be punished in 24 hours. And Singhs did take revenge of Sodhi’s shaheedi in 24 hours, punishing all the people involved in Shaheedi of Bhai Surinder singh Sodhi.


Bhai sahib’s life is an example of spirit of Khalsa. In 18th century, it was Bhai Sukha Singh, who is still remembered for his brave and daring acts, for punishing panth-dokhis. Bhai Shaib was Sukha Singh of 20th century. He was a true soldier, A Sant, gurmukh, Abhyasi of Naam baani, believed in Panthic unity and ever ready to lay down his life for cause of panth. His name struck fear in hearts of enemies of Panth, and a wave of Charhdi kala in minds of gursikhs. He'll be an inspiration for Sikh youth for ages to come.

Khalsa panth will always remember ‘Tiger of Santji’ for his Supreme Sacrifice.

Baba Jugraaj Singh ji Shaheed


Baba Jugraj Singh ji alias Toofan Singh ji was born in 1972 in house of Baba Mohinder singh ji. Baba Jugraaj Singh was only brother of five sisters. His Father did sangat of Baba Gurbachan singh ji and Baba Kartar Singh ji Bhindranwale Mahapurakhs. In 1978, when he was just 6, he was present during Sikh- nirankari clash with his Father. That was the first day he had Darshan of Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa Bhindranwale. When he saw Shaheed Singhs, he asked his father about them. Baba Mohinder singh ji said ‘Son, they are Shaheeds of our Panth’. He asked why they have been killed. Babaji replied they went to stop Guru’s beadbi, and for Guru and Panth’s honour, they have laid down their lives. Young Jugraj Singh went to Santji and said ‘Sant ji, I also want to die like them, for my Guru and Panth’. Santji smiled back and said ‘Son, its all in Guru’s hands.When he wishes some one to perform the sewa, he takes it himself. Each and every one of us has our own time. He will bless you also with sewa and Shaheedi’’. And after this he joined Damdami Taksal and became a dedicated soldier of Khalsa Panth. In 1984, after operation Blue star, Jugraj Singh, at age of 12 was arrested by police and lodged in Nabha jail. But next year, when he was just 13, he along with his friends escaped from Prison and became a part of Sikh resistance movement. He joined the ranks of Bhai Avtar Singh Brahma (KLF) and took part in several actions. SSP of Batala, Gobind Ram, was the one who started the campaign to humiliate Sikh fighters and their families. He used to urinate on faces of Singhs and say ‘’ you drank Amrit of Gobind Singh, now drink Gobind Ram’s Amrit’’. He killed thousands of Sikhs in fake encounters and Sikh women were raped, tortured and humiliated on his orders in Police stations. He was the mind behind ‘operation shudhikaran’ in which Sikh women were to to be raped in thousands and humiliated. Babaji challenged him several times, but he never accepted the challenge and never came in front of Khalsa Tigers. Babaji then planned to kill this butcher in his very rat-hole. He arranged for explosives to be fixed under his chair in his office. As Gobind Ram came and sat, Babaji pressed the button and dusht was blown to pieces. His body parts flew up to the roof, out of windows and walls of his office were smeared in his paapi blood. And all this took place in headquarters of Punjab armed police in Phillaur (Punjab).

People started calling him ‘Baba’ out of respect. He never looted any one, never killed any innocent, and protected innocent Hindus and their families. In his area, no incident of loot, rape or dacoity ever took place. He had a 6 hour nitnem, which included 5 Baanis, Chandi di vaar jaaps, Gurmantar abhyaas. He was a son to mothers, brother to sisters and father to daughters of Punjab. It was with Guru kirpa that he undertook some of the most daring actions of Sikh movement.

On 7th of April 1990, babaji was having heavy fever. He planned to move to his sister’s house for some days for recuperation. Punjab police had announced a reward of 2.5 million rupees on his head, for which police cats were always roaming around Babaji, looking for a chance to get him in. One of the Cats entered his group and started giving his information to police, but Police, CRPF and Army was too afraid to face Baba Jugraj Singh in an open encounter. As Babaji reached his Sister’s house in Village maari buchhian, night fell and Babaji after taking some food went to sleep. IN the night, the police tout took Babaji’s gun on pretext of cleaning it. It was a Russia made AK-94. He loved it very much. He had other weapons too but this was his priced possession. When babaji slept, he took out the pin of the gun, making it useless. Next early morning, babaji did his nitnem and as he was having fever, went to bed again. Around 8 in the morning, tout said to Babaji that he would go to Sri hargobind pur and bring him some medicine. Babaji allowed him to go. As he went, he informed the waiting Police force that the Lion is sleeping and his gun has been rendered useless. Thousands of Armymen, Police force and CRPF encircled the village. It was a big ‘ghera’ and babaji was with just 3 Singhs. Other with him were Bhai Bakshish Singh, bhai Gurpreet singh and bhai laal singh. When villagers saw police, they informed sister of Babaji, who went and woke him up and told him whole thing. Babaji, after listening to whole thing got ready to leave. Some villagers said babaji, we’ll not let you go and die. We’ll defend you with all out might, but please don’t go. But he refused, as he didn’t want any innocent Sikh to die in crossfire and he knew ruthless Punjab police will burn whole village just to get one Jugraj Singh. As Babaji took up position, his gun didn’t fire. Babaji smiled and said Singho, today my best friend has failed me, death is imminent,, you all should leave. But Singhs refused to leave their general. Bhai Laal Singh gave him his AK-47, after which a fierce encounter started. Police and Army were using villagers as human shields to get closer to babaji’s morcha, which was outside his sister’s house. But Babaji kept hitting them. As encounter ensued, Bhai Bakhshish singh brought a tractor from nearby house and they all got on it. Some people say they wanted to flee, but that’s not true, there was no chance they could have fled the scene. They just wanted to get out of Village so that innocent Sikhs don’t die. They planned to take on enemy in open fields. In this fierce encounter, on one hand were Thousands of enemies and on other side, fighting for their faith were 4 Sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji. Bullets were raining like rain, and as the tractor came near, Singh got on it and started driving towards fields. Army knew that if they reached in the fields, it’ll be difficult to finish them, so they launched a massive offensive. Scores of enemies had been killed and whole area was screaming with noises of Police ambulances which were being used to ferry dead and injured soldiers. News had spread far and wide that Baba Jugraj Singh was in Police ‘Ghera’! People from villages started moving to break police cordon. As situation was getting worse, Army used Rocket launchers to destroy the tractor. Tractor got stuck and singhs came down. They took up their positions at that site, which was in mid of Village and Fields. Babaji wanted all other singhs to leave, but no one was willing to leave their General. At last, Bhai Gurpreet Singh and Bhai Laal singh moved in different direction and escaped as all the attention of Army was on Babaji. Bhai Bakhshish singh refused to leave. After a 4 hour encounter, Babaji, unwell and injured, got hit by a volley of Bullets fired by enemies which hit him all over his body. Bhai Bakhshish singh also got Shaheedi that day, with Baba Jugraaj Singh ji, who took 28 bullets in his body. After Babaji got Shaheed, police and Armymen using villagers as Shields came near his body and confirmed that he was dead. News of babaji’s shaheedi spread far and wide, people were grief struck. They were not able to believe that Baba Jugraaj Singh had got Shaheed. Most sad were Hindus of Area, who cried and didn’t cook food in their houses that day, as they had lost their ‘’saviour’’ (as they called Babaji).
Next day Thousands of people reached police station of Sri Hargobind pur to get babaji’s body, which police had to give from fear of backlash.

On 18th of April 1990, Bhog ceremony was organised in native village of Babaji by his Family and Damdami Taksal. Baba Thakur singh ji reached there with his jatha. It was biggest bhog ceremony Punjab ever witnessed in its whole history of movement from 84-94. There was a gathering of 400,000 people despite police restrictions and 50 bags of money were filled by Sangat’s sewa. But Baba Mohinder singh ji refused to take even a penny for his Son’s sacrifice. His words were’’ My Son was born for Panth, he died for panth. He belonged to panth, I’m just his worldly father, he was son of Guru Gobind Singh ji, and I don’t want to insult his sacrifice by taking money over his Shaheedi. This is Panth’s money, it shall be used for Panth, and therefore I hand it over to Baba Thakur Singh ji, so that Sons and daughters of Panth can be given justice and freedom, so that those who are in jails can get freedom, those mothers who have lost their sons can be looked after, and children who have lost their fathers can be brought up’’. Salute to the father and the son.
This was a short note in memory of beloved Baba Jugraaj Singh ji alias Toofan Singh ji, who at the young age of 18 attained supreme shaheedi for Khalsa Panth. He’ll be forever alive in our hearts and sacrifice of brave Jujharoo singhs like Babaji will never be wasted. The Dream they had in their eyes has passed on in the eyes of new generation. Today people boasting and calling themselves Khalistanis have forgotten the sacrifice of those brave shaheeds, they just use their names to cash in on them and show-off themselves as Panthic, but no one is working anywhere to fulfil their dream. How many remembered Baba Jugraaj Singh ji on his Shahheedi? They can be counted on fingertips. Babaji;s father died two years ago. Only his sisters commemorate his Shaheedi with support of Some Panthic organisations. Isn’t it our Duty, the Youth of Khalsa Panth, to commemorate Shaheedis of those brave generals and warriors of Khalsa Panth, or are we also just good for t-shirts, posters, slogans in names of Shaheeds??

We have to wake up Khalsa ji and honour the Shaheeds of Panth.
Sri Akaal ji Sahai

Baba Thaara Singh ji Shaheed


Damdami Taksal is the inheritor of True Khalsa spirit of Sewa-Simran-Sacrifice. It was a religious university run by Baba Deep Singh ji and Bhai Mani Singh ji, whose military wing was known as Jatha Shaheeda and later as Misal Shaheedan. This was Taksal of Sant-Sipahis, but after 1764,when Baba Gurbaksh Singh ji divided it in two parts, one Jatha was to preach Gurbaani and conduct Amrit Sanchar , while Military wing was to fight for Panth whenever need arose. From this Jatha of Sant-Sipahis came General, Sants and Sipahis such as Bhai Taru Singh ji, Nawab Kapoor Singh ji, Baba Naina Singh ji, Baba Phoola Singh ji , Bhai Sant Singh ji and millions of others great souls.

Sant Kartar Singh ji, 13th Jathedar of Taksal met an accident in 1977, and refused to get his hair cut for operation due to which he left his body. After him Sant Jarnail Singh ji was appointed Jathedar of Damdami Taksal by Baba Thakur Singh,Baba Thaara Singh ji and other Singhs of Taksal. Santji had the mission of shaping Sikh panth’s destiny and reviving the Jatha Shaheeda of Baba Deep Singh ji Shaheed.

It was at this time Santji left for Parchar in villages, cities of Punjab and rest of India. He appointed Jathedar Baba Thaara Singh ji for sewa of Gurudwara Gurdarshan Parkash(Headquarters of Taksal). Baba Thaara Singh ji had come in Taksal during Baba Gurbachan Singh ji’s time and afterwards he continued sewa with Baba Kartar Singh ji. He was incharge to look after Sewa, Santhya and other administrative duties at Taksal. Babaji along with Baba Thakur Singh ji was one of the senior most Singhs of Taksal who had come to Mehta chowk with Sant Kartar Singh ji. He did all the sewa with utmost devotion as Hukam of Guru Gobind Singh ji. Singhs used to call him Jathedar of Budda Dal with love during his time. Singhs of all Jathebandis had great respect for him due to his self-less sewa and high spiritual jeevan. He was also guide of warrior group of Taksal, which Sant Kartar Singh was creating under Sant Jarnail Singh ji, including Singhs like Baba Manochahal, Bhai Usmaan Singh ji, Bhai Dalbir Singh Abhyaasi and others. These very Singhs in future were to become great Shaheeds of Panth.

During Santji’s Bombay, Haryana and Delhi tour in 81-82, Babaji was doing Sewa at Mehta chowk. When Santji was arrested by Punjab police in 82, he appointed Baba Thaara Singh ji as incharge of Sewa at taksal. After he returned after 28 days, Santji started Sikhi Parchar with more determination and Bir-ras. Government was worried about Santji’s intentions, so it tried its best to stop Santji. But as it tried, Parchar grew stronger. There were attempts at Santji;s life, Pothis of Guru Granth Sahib ji, gutka Sahibs and other baani pothis were burnt by police in chando kala in Haryana, which deeply hurt Santji. He started giving a new shape to parchar, turning it into movement for Sikh rights and freedom.

It was at this time Government took the extreme step and one day arrested some Singhs of taksal. During their hearing in court, Bhai Amrik Singh ji and Baba Thara Singh ji were sent by Santji to take care of Singhs and the case. As these Gurmukhs reached court complex, they too were arrested without any charges. When Santji heard about Bhai Sahib’s and babaji’s arrest, he was deeply pained. Santji were unwell that day and doctors had put them on glucose. In spite of being unwell, Sant Jarnail Singh ji reached with his Jatha at Akaal takhat Sahib on 18th July 1982 and did Ardas at feet of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji. Santji declared Dharam yudh morcha that day whose aim was ‘’ not just to free Bhai Amrik Singh ji and Baba Thaara Singh ji but whole Sikh panth from shackles of Slavery’’! He did this Ardas also at Akaal Takhat sahib and vowed to continue the morcha till Khalsa Panth emerged victorious, till Fateh wasn’t achieved.

Morcha continued for many months and government, due to pressure of Panth dropped fake charges against Bhai Sahib and Babaji, and freed them from jail. But Santji was determined to take the morcha to its final mission, Freedom of Khalsa Panth. As the parchar grew and Sikh youth started taking amrit in thousands, there was a Sikh revival movement in Punjab under command of Sant Jarnail Sinhg ji Khalsa and Damdami Taksal. 33 Sikh Jathebandis supported Santji in this mission. As people said in 19th century, ‘’there is nothing as dangerous as a united Sikh nation’’! Indian government too feared the day Sikhs would smash its imperialist and fascist set-up in Punjab. Preparations to crush Sikh movement were started by Delhi and here in Amritsar, Santji too started preparing to defend the Dharam yudh morcha and Akaal takhat.

Defense positions were established in and outside Parkarma of Harimandir sahib. Important positions were set-up at Langar hall roof, Bunga Ramgarhia , water tank and on Complex entrance from Langar. These were to be the first resistance posts of Defenders. Baba Thaara Singh ji was given command of all these posts. When the Indian Army attacked Darbar sahib complex on morning of 4th june 1984, around 45 Singhs defending these 4 positions under Baba Thaara Singh ji gave a tough resistance and repulsed numerous attacks. Singhs held on to their defenses and forced invading army to retreat, until they brought in artillery guns and Tanks to destroy jhujharoo positions. It was on night of 4th june, that continuous bombing of jhujharoo positions by Guns and Tanks resulted in Shaheediya of many Singhs and all the morchas which were at an high altitude were destroyed. Baba Thaara Singh ji was on Langar roof with 12 Singhs and had LMGs and other guns. But they were no match to artillery bombs and Tanks. This position too was demolished and many Singh attained Shaheedi. Baba Thaara Singh ji’s body was pierced by sharpnels of bombs. Still he continued firing from his LMG, putting to death scores of enemies. These Singhs were fighting continuous from last 12 hours and were on the first defence line. When Singhs saw that Baba Thaara Singh ji was injured, they lifted him and planned to take him to Akaal Takhat, to Santji. But Babaji refused to be taken to Akaal Takhat saying,’ what will Jarnail Singh say? That bapu left the morcha and came to me?’’ he wished to be taken to the morcha at entrance of parkarma, near Dukh Bhanjani beri. Singhs took Babaji there, and his wounds were bandaged with help of kamarkasa and hazooriyas. Despite being wounded, Babaji continued to defend the eastern entrance of Darbar Sahib, from where Tanks were to be brought in. Whole night of 5th June, he held on to his position and kept fighting ,with other great Singhs like Bhai Jageer Singh, Bhai Ajaib Singh Mahakaal and Bhai Rasal Singh ji by his side. It was due to bravery of these Singhs that Tanks didn’t enter on night of 5th June. But Singhs had no re-inforcements, no medical help, nothing to eat, no one to come to their rescue. It was a fight to finish. Babaji had a wireless conversation with Santji on 5th June Amrit vela and said his last Fateh to Santji. Santji’s eyes got wet with love and affection after hearing last words of Baba Thaara Singh ji, who along with Baba Thakur Singh ji had been a father-figure to Santji in taksal. As Santji said his final fateh to jathedar of Budda dal, Singhs gave out jaikaaras at Akaal takhat. Till now Indian army had launched a massive offensive to destroy the position of Baba Thaara Singh ji. As Singhs came under heavy gunfire, numerous bullets pierced Babaji’s chest, stomach and head. Baba Thaara Singh ji attained supreme Shaheedi at the feet of Guru Arjan Dev ji, near Dukh Bhanjani beri on Amrit Vela of 5th June. He was First Jathedar of Khalsa Fauj to attain Shaheedi in Operation Bluestar.

During his conversation with Santji on morning of 5th June, Babaji had said,’Santji, don’t forget you have done Ardas to free Khalsa Panth from Slavery. And being spiritual descendant of Baba Deep Singh ji, you have to fulfil this Ardas, for honour of Taksal and Panth’. Santji replied in positive and promised to Babaji that Morcha will continue till Fateh, no matter what happens.

And I believe, with blood of Brahmgianis like Baba Thaara Singh ji and bachans of Baba Thakur Singh ji, Dharam Yudh morcha still continues.

Sri Akaal ji Sahai.

The Pain of my Heart-2

I got introduced to Sikh struggle when I was 7. The day was 6th January 1989. We used to live in Ambala as my Father worked there. At morning 5 am, a Parbhaat feri passed in front of our house. I woke up and asked my mother what was the reason for Parbhaat feri today, as it was not any Gurpurab today? She told me that today Satwant Singh and Kehar singh were being hanged in Delhi. I curiously asked why they were being hanged. She told me whole thing. I listened to their story of valour from my mother.

We lived in first floor and on ground floor lived a Sikh army man’s family. His name was Bahadur Singh. Whenever his wife’s brothers used to visit, they used to do Naam Abhyaas in closed doors. One of them, Bhai Bhajan Singh ji was very high awastha Gurmukh. One day I and his nephew peeked in his room when he was doing Nitnem. We say him 3 feet above ground, and as we saw this, we both jumped and came running to our mothers and told them what we saw. Aunty, Bahadaur Singh’s wife, told us not to tell this thing to anyone as his brothers were of high awastha and didn’t want anyone to know about this. I still rememeber, the day was 18th April 1990, I saw aunty sitting at her door and crying. I came to my mother and told her about this. My mother went to her and asked why she was crying? She broke down and told my mother about Shaheedi of her youngest brother, Gurjeet Singh. He was studying in B.A and had left home few months ago, had joined KLF and started operations. Today he was killed in an encounter with security forces. He was in Baba Jugraaj Singh ji’s Jatha and police was looking for him after Babaji’s Shaheedi on 8th April. That was first day I saw and felt the pain of a Shaheed Singh’s family. After few months, Bhai Bhajan Singh ji was picked up by Punjab Police and tortured badly. He was made to sit on heaters, hung upside down and beaten up, given electric shocks but Bhai sahib didn’t reveal anything about other singhs. Afterwards he too was killed and his body was given to his family, so that other people will see his fate and desist from joining Movement. Aunty returned from Antim Sanskaar of her second brother and revealed that Bhai Bhajan Singh ji too was a Jhujharoo of Babbar Khalsa. Her Father and only living brother Darshan singh were also lifted and tortured badly. Her brother was rendered impotent as Police had tried to tear him in two parts but left after his private parts were damaged, while laughing that now he’ll not be able to produce any more Kharkoos! Bapuji too was given electric shocks and was left handicapped.

This was destruction of a Sikh family I saw at young age with my eyes. I saw very closely how Sikhs were sacrificing their lives for Guru and Panth that time, facing every torture, every suffering with determination. How families were getting destroyed and how mothers were sacrificing their sons. But things changed after 1992. And today we stand at a point in our history where we are direction-less, aim-less, leader-less, have lost the vision and courage to do the things which our elders did 25 years ago.

When I look back at the blood soaked history of those ten years, when every true Sikh family of Punjab had to bear the brunt of Imperialist brutality, my heart cries out loud. Not only mine, but every Sikh’s heart who has met and seen the tears of those mothers and sisters and daughters who lost their Sons and brothers and Fathers feels the pain. Have we been able to do anything for their honour? Have we been able to do anything for their families? What have we done for widows of Nov.84 riots? Their children have grown up and in absence of any employment or education have taken to drugs and anti-social activities.

We are good in highlighting the problems but don’t know how to solve them. Our enemy knew this thing, so he started created problems for us, and we really failed to solve them. So their number has increased to such a level that we have become a Panth of Problems. And unable to carry on the weight of problems, we have started breaking down. We are breaking up in different parts, getting weaker and smaller day by day. And there is no hope that we’ll unite in coming some time and sit down together and solve our problems we have today, instead our enemy will keep on throwing issues at us and we’ll keep on dancing as puppets in his hands and fighting within Panth. Who’ll help us? No one I’ll say! What a pity it is, This is the Panth which saved others from tyrants and restored their honour and today it has grown so weak that it has to hold banners and candles and beg for Justice! This is the Panth which demolished established empires and created its own empire in Northern part of Indian sub-continent, and today this panth is begging from others for its rights and freedom and justice. Remember one thing, take out as many candle vigils you want, hold as many rallies you want, hold as many marches you want, NO one will give you Justice and Khalistan. Guru Gobind Singh ji gave you sword to fight for your rights and you held candle in your hands, Shame! Sant ji aroused that warrior spirit in us again, where is that gone? Truth is, you will have to shed your blood, face tortures, die inhuman deaths, only then will you achieve freedom and until you are afraid of dying and tortures and government agents spying on you, you cannot do anything. Leave everything else, just think about this, our military struggle ended 15 years ago, what a shame it is that in last 15 years, we haven’t been able to unite and create a Political group which will fight politically for our rights, our freedom and Justice. We have parties like Dal Khalsa, SAD (bittu), SAD (Maan) and numerous federations, all these haven’t been able to join hands and start a political struggle for freedom in Punjab. In western countries, I have seen these parties and people shout slogans of Khalistan and collect funds from people in name of Khalistan and Shaheeds, but when it comes to India and Punjab, there is no one doing something significant on ground. All are good in giving out statements, but truth is, Sikhs of Punjab don’t trust these people. They have seen what these groups and Dals did in last 26 years. No one thinks about Panth, no one is ready to die for Panth, no one is ready to shed blood for Panth, how will we achieve something? And then there are groups, who are good at fighting just with Sikhs over an issue like Santji’s Shaheedi! Why don’t these groups start a political or military struggle, a mass movement, a revolution in Punjab to achieve Santji’s mission and fulfil dreams of Shaheeds? Are they good for just collecting money and creating issues in names of Santji and Shaheeds? It so sad that these people who call Santji a Sant-sipahi and Great Sikh call his Taksal a ‘Bahmanvaadi Jatha’, same Taksal which was virtually finished in 84 holocaust, same Taksal which bore the brunt of Government’s and its agents’ brutality! When question of money and Khalistan comes, for these people Bhindranwale Sant is a Sant, but when it comes to following Maryada or baani or Dasam baani, Then he is a bahmanvaadi! Isn’t this sheer hypocrisy?

When I see in this darkness around, there is no ray of hope or light! But as people say, ‘as the night darkens, have faith that daylight is near’! This night is darkening, no one is there whom I can trust, and there is no one whom I can look upon. But then a voice resounds in my ears, ‘Sant ji is in Charhdi Kala,he’s here on this planet, he’ll not go without freeing Panth, he’ll not go until he fulfills his ardas of 18th july 1982 which he did at Akaal takhat Sahib at feet of Guru Hargobind Sahib, Have faith’! This sound gives me hope, gives me courage to live and move on, to continue my mission, to look towards these dark skies for that ray of light, which will bring Sun back and there will be daylight.

I know My Akaal Purakh loves his Panth, Guru Gobind Singh ji and Guru Granth Sahib ji love their Panth and this is the reason , I have this Faith that their blessed and chosen general, Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa is in Charhdi kala and waiting for their Hukam to lead this Panth again.

Akaal Ji Sahai!

The Pain of my Heart - 1


26 years have passed, when Sri Akaal Takhat sahib was demolished, walls of Sri Harimandir sahib were pierced with 360 bullets, 220 Saroops of Guru Granth Sahib ji were burnt, 7000 innocent Sikh pilgrims were massacred in Darbar Sahib complex. Operation Woodrose unleashed in rural Punjab took lives of 15,000 Amritdhari sikh youth between age 15-35 so that they are not able to become part of any planned revolution. 75,000 Sikhs armed with Guns, swords, sticks and other weapons moved to defend Darbar sahib and stand with Sant Jarnail singh ji and Sikh warriors defending Akaal Takhat. They were fired upon by Army at various places by Helicopter gunships, Tanks and firing squads. Eyewitness accounts place Sikh causalities at around 20,000. All in all, 42000 Sikhs died in these 5 days of 4-8 June 1984. This was 4th Sikh holocaust.

Today after 26 years when we look back at the happenings of that time, we see Panth still standing at same place where it was 26 years back. So much happened afterwards, Khalistan was declared on 26th Jan 1986 by Panj Piaras, freedom fighter groups like KLF, KCF and BTF were formed to fight for Independence. Political leaders like Maan were given authority and power by Sikhs to fight a political battle. Fake encounters, extra-judicial killings, rapes, massacres, tortures and kidnappings of Sikh youth became a daily feature in Punjab. After 2, 50,000 Shaheeds and 26 long years, we still stand where we were before Sant ji appeared on scene.

Just stop for a while and look back where we failed? And do the reasons responsible for our failure still exist?

I would say yes. We failed because we did not unite at the time of attack, we failed because we didn’t unite during the movement and we failed because we didn’t abide by bachans of the Mahapurakh who was authorised to lead The Panth by Our General Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa.

Today, the problems, the divisions, the controversies, the bickerings in the Panth have taken a dangerous shape. There is nothing such as love, humility, respect or Ekta left. This is not the Panth Guru Gobind Singh ji dreamt of. This is not the Panth millions of Shaheeds gave their life for. This is not the Panth which was to create Kingdom of Peace (Halemi raaj) on this planet. Why have we become so divided and narrow minded? Why have we lost respect for each other? Why have we lost respect for Mahapurakhs of Panth who dedicated their whole lives for sewa and Charhdi kala of Panth?

There are issues of Dasam Baani, Raagmala, Amrit, Nitnem, Ardas, Kakkars, Takhats and political upmanship. Who created these issues in us? Who took these issues to the level of bloody fights in Panth? Who has brought us in such a position that there is no chance of any rapprochement and Unity? Panth stands badly bruised and hurt today, and then we say we’ll fulfil the dreams of Shaheeds! Will we fight for our Shaheeds this way? Will we create Kingdom of Peace like this? We, the peace less people will never be able to do anything until we learn from our past mistakes and unite. Learn something from Israel. In Second World War, 6 million Jews were butchered in gas chambers by Hitler. In 1946, after the war was over, Jews from around the world united with one Mission-‘’People less land for landless people’’. With their visionary and dedicated leadership, they created a home for themselves in world and are still surviving in most dangerous of conditions.
Where do we stand? Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa united whole Panth under One Nishan. There were forces which tried to stop him, finish him, bring him down but he, with his single-minded dedication continued to serve Panth and always tried his best to avert blood bath between Sikhs on petty issues. People called him coward, Agent of Congress, fool and so much, but he didn’t speak with anger or hatred to any fellow Sikh who was part of Panthic struggle. He tried his best to maintain unity in Panth and always was successful in doing so. That’s why he’s called Greatest Sikh and Sant-Sipahi.

But just look at what the people, who claim to follow him and claim to believe in his ideology are doing? Is there any unity in Panth today? There are people and groups who have made Sant ji as their icon, just for bread-butter, but simply refuse to follow his ideals or principles. There are people who’ll put up his pictures, banners and posters, but will refuse to believe in Dasam Baani or Puratan Panthic maryada, calling it Bahmanvaad! There are groups and Jathas, who have made Taksal bashing a primary source of their existence. They exist on hatred towards Taksal of Sant Jarnail Singh ji, whom they claim to believe in and don’t miss a chance to use his name. These groups haven’t done ANYTHING for Panth or achieved anything for Panth in last 26 years, but don’t miss a chance to label Taksali Singhs as cowards and RSS agents. They are ready to fight for putting label of Shaheed with Sant ji, but not ready to do something so that dream of Sant ji or Shaheed Singhs is fulfilled. Their Khalistan struggle is all centred on propaganda against Singhs and Groups who believe in Sant ji’s Charhdi kala. They don’t feel sad or bad while labelling their own brothers as RSS agents, cowards, cats and so much; just because we believe in Sant ji’s Charhdi kala, but they themselves haven’t done anything for Panth in last 26 years. I met a person who said you are cowards and agents because you claim Sant ji is in Charhdi kala. I said brother, we, those who believe in his charhdi kala, number at around 50,000 over the world. Leave us 50,000 people, why don’t rest of 24.9 million Sikhs do anything? It’s ok if we are cowards or agents, but what have those, who claim Sant ji to be Shaheed, done for Panth? Why haven’t you people started a military or political struggle in Punjab to fulfil dreams of Shaheed Singhs? Why these so many groups and Jathas and Dals have been unable to create a leader like Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa in last 26 years, who’ll unite the Panth and take it on Path of freedom? I said brother, stop fighting over this issue, why don’t we just unite and do something for Panth? Why don’t we join hands and do something that will take us on Path of Freedom and Charhdi kala? If Sant ji is your idol, he’s mine too, let’s unite under Nishan Sahib, do parchar for Sikhi, educate youth about Santji’s ideology and Shaheeds of Panth. I ask one thing, is this debate so important as to push your brothers away from you and make them your enemies? Why dont you do what you feel is good for Panth and let us do what we think is good. After all, it was Sant Jarnail Singh ji himself, who told us to believe in Bachans of Baba Thakur Singh ji. What crime are we doing if we are obeying orders of our General?
There is so much to write, and I will write, because some things need to be cleared. Some people say, One man can not do anything, so stop waiting for Him. Read sikh history, Baba Banda Singh was just one man, who demolished Mughal empire. Sant Jarnail Singh was just One man, who single-handedly took on brutal government of India and changed the course of History. Those blessed souls, who have Guru’s Naam and baani in their hearts, who have Guru with them are capable of doing anything and everything. Always One Man leads and others follow him. Then only wars are won, empires are created. And it’s a bitter truth that after 6 June 1984, till today, millions were and are ready to walk behind, but the one blessed soul who’ll lead is Gupt. Hundreds tried to take his place, claiming to be Leaders of Panth, but no one was or is like that One Sant Jarnail Singh ji. If you know some one,who you think is capable of taking Sant ji's place, has the charisma and will power and love for Guru and Panth like him, please do let me know!

Power of Hukam

Hukam is the basic force behind creation, which sustains and transforms whole creation. Hukam is the primal force due to which everything is created, which makes people high and low, gives them happiness and sadness. Everything, every single atom of universe works in Hukam of Waheguru, but only few blessed ones recognise power of Hukam.

There are two basic principles of Sikhi, Jaap and Hukam. Jaap is to contemplate on Lord’s name, to remember him, love him. Hukam is living in divine will of Guru, living as he wishes us to. Guru is redeemer, Guru is the one who blesses his Sikh, Guru is the one who wakes up his Sikh to truth, Guru is the one who breaks the shackles of time and space and takes his Sikh into immortality. And all this happens when Sikh learns to live in Guru’s Hukam. Jaap is for spiritual upliftment of Soul, to take it near to Waheguru and Hukam is a physical manifestation of Spiritual position. The more we get closer to Waheguru through Japp, more we live in Guru’s hukam and more we live in Hukam, more we get closer to Waheguru. Both are inter-related to one another.

When Guru Gobind Singh ji created Khalsa Panth, he gave it a Rehat maryada, a discipline of how to live life of a Sant-Sipahi. He decreed that till Khalsa lives in Hukam, he’ll bless it with whole of his Power, his Grace and Light. The day Khalsa goes out of Hukam, he’ll leave it to its fate. Sikh’s only support, only Power, only companion is his Guru, and the day Sikh leaves his Guru or goes out of Guru’s Hukam, he/she is sure to be lost in Darkness of this world. We should try that there is nothing, no relation, no friends, no Vikaars which are strong enough to take us far from Guru, out of Guru’s Hukam.

Read as much baani you can, listen as much baani you can, do as much Sangat or sewa, it is useful only if Guru blesses our Baani, Sewa and Simran, it’ll help us only if we are in Guru’s Hukam, live in Guru’s will. Baani says
ਸੇਵਕ ਸਿਖ ਪੂਜਣ ਸਭਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਸਭਿ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਊਤਮ ਬਾਨੀ ॥
ਗਾਵਿਆ ਸੁਣਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਕਾ ਹਰਿ ਥਾਇ ਪਾਵੈ ਜਿਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਆਗਿਆ ਸਤਿ ਸਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਨੀ ॥1॥
All the Sikhs and servants come to worship and adore you; they sing the sublime Bani of the Lord, Har, Har.
Only their singing and listening is approved by the Lord who accept the Order of the True Guru as True, totally True. ||1||

For a Sikh, heavens are in Guru’s holy feet. Sikh is Servant of Guru, Slave of his Guru, and the Sikh who considers himself servant of Guru, Guru blesses that Sikh with his Love and mercy, Guru makes that Sikh his own roop, gives his own form, gives him his power and glory. The Sikh, who has dedicated his life to Word of Guru, lives his life according to Hukam of Guru, is blessed by Guru with Bliss and eternal life.
ਆਗਿਆ ਮਹਿ ਭੂਖ ਸੋਈ ਕਰਿ ਸੂਖਾ ਸੋਗ ਹਰਖ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਨਿਓ ॥
ਜੋ ਜੋ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਭਇਓ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਕਾ ਸੋ ਮਾਥੈ ਲੇ ਮਾਨਿਓ ॥3॥
ਭਇਓ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲੁ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਕ ਕਉ ਸਵਰੇ ਹਲਤ ਪਲਾਤਾ ॥
ਧੰਨੁ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਸਫਲੁ ਓਹੁ ਆਇਆ ਜਿਨਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਖਸਮੁ ਪਛਾਤਾ ॥4॥5॥
When I am under the Lord's Command, I find even hunger pleasurable; I know no difference between sorrow and joy.
Whatever the Command of my Lord and Master is, I bow my forehead and accept it. ||3||
The Lord and Master has become merciful to His servant; He has embellished both this world and the next.
Blessed is that servant, and fruitful is his birth; O Nanak, he realizes his Lord and Master. ||4||5||

In Hukam lies Guru’s power. One who makes Guru’s Hukam as his/her rule of living is blessed by supreme power by Guru, to live according to that Hukam. Sikh who is ready to get his scalp removed just for Guru’s Hukam is blessed by Power from Guru to endure that pain. The Sikh who is ready to get his limbs cut for Guru is blessed by Guru with power to read baani and keep smiling even when the killer is cutting body parts one by one. This is power of Hukam.

Hill kings of north India attack Anandpur sahib and plan to break the gates of Fort Lohgarh with help of a drunken wild elephant. Sikhs come to know about this and tell Guru Gobind Singh ji about enemy plan. Guruji looks at his Sikhs and orders Bhai Dunichand to fight the elephant next morning. Dunichand is a heavily-built, 7 feet and 200kg strong warrior, but when he hears that he’ll have to fight a drunken elephant, he chooses to run away. In the dark of night, he jumps the wall of fort, fracturing his leg in the process. When he reaches his home next day, while lying on his bed, leg bandaged by doctor, a snake come and bites him. Dunichand dies. The death he was so afraid of, the death fearing which he goes out of Guru’s Hukam comes and grabs him.

On other hand, in the morning when Khalsa is ready to take on Kings and their elephant, Sikhs report to Guruji that Dunichand has run away. Guruji again smiles and looks at all the Sikhs. This time he chooses a 5.5 feet tall sikh, Bhai Bachittar Singh ji, who’s better known as ‘bahroopia singh’’(for his ability to change guise) and asks him to fight the elephant. Sikh comes and places his head on Guru’s feet and says ‘’O Lord, I don’t have the power to fight or win, bless me’’! Guru smiles and blesses his sikh and gives him a Naagni Barcha( Spear with curved blades) and places his heand on his head.

Ranjeet Nagara thunders and Singhs reach the battlefield to stop the elephant approaching Lohgarh fort. Elephant, on whose forehead 7 iron plates, each 1 inch thick are tied comes face to face with Bhai Bachittar singh. As Elephant tries to crush Singh under his feet, Singh stands on his horse back, shouts a Jaikaara and hits Elephant with his Naagni, which pierces the Iron plates and hits his forehead, wounding the elephant. Maddened with rage, the elephant turns back and starts crushing the same army which brought him and falls after a distance. Bhai Udai singh jumps in battle and cuts off head of Commander of Army of Hill kings, Kesrichand, lifts it up with his spear and gives out a victory Jaikaara. The attacking army runs away and Khalsa wins the battle.

What power has a human got to fight with an Elephant, fully protected, armoured and drunk? No, it was not Bhai Bachittar Singh who killed it, he just readied himself to walk on Guru’s Hukam, to follow Guru’s Hukam and if need be, lay down life for Guru’s Hukam. When the Sikh readied himself to die for Guru, fight for Guru, then Guru blessed him with his power. It was Guru’s Power, Shakti, which was working through the Sikh.

No surprise Sikhi is a Religion of Hukam, Guru’s will! And those who follow it, live by it are blessed by Guru with Bliss, Power, Ras and Sehaj!

What else does a sikh need?

Are they really Sikhs of Guru?

People who are spewing venom against Baani of Guru Gobind Singh ji maharaj with mischievous reasons claim to be TRUE Sikhs of Guru Granth sahib ji. They label their anti-panthic propaganda as a Movement for respect of Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj and Ten Gurus. But truth is something else, their own writings and deeds expose their hidden intentions. These people actually don’t have any love or respect for Guru Granth Sahib ji or Ten Gurus or Sikh History or traditions. These people should not be called even Sikhs! They are not! They are all Perverts, Agents, Cats, communists , RSS, all mixed up with one common mission- Finish Sikhi!
We’ll do some vichaar on their claims of fighting for respect of Guru Granth Sahib ji, that how much they actually love Guruji and also about those whom they portray as Anti-Panthic, Dasam granthis and bahmanvaadi. After that it’ll not be tough to comprehend who realyy Loves and respects Guru Granth Sahib ji.
1. Anti-Dasam baani people don’t believe Guru Granth Sahib ji to be ‘’Jaagdi Jot’’-Living Guru. They believe it just to be a Holy Book, but so do radhaswamis, narkdharis, Noormehlia, and Hindu Sants like Asaram bapu, morari bapu and Arya Samaj. So whats the difference?
2. They don’t believe in the maryada of Sewa of Guru Granth Sahib ji,i.e Parkash, Sukh-asan,Rumalle, Chaur Sahib etc.
3. They refuse to accept that Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj gave Gurugaddi to Guru Granth Sahib ji in 1708.
4. They have claimed to find ‘Mistakes’ in language and grammer of Guru Granth Sahib ji.
5. They doubt Sanctity and purity of Guru granth Sahib ji and
don’t believe in sampooran Guru Granth Sahib ji, but claim instead that Guruji’s Baani has been mixed-up i.e Raagmaala and some Bhatt and Bhagat Baani. (Those who doubt Guru Granth Sahib ji can not be hoped to respect dasam guru’s baani.)
6. They don’t believe Updesh of Baani to be Timeless and Universal, instead they claim that some shabads were practical for the time when they were actually composed, not in today’s date i.e Shabads like ‘’ Naroo mare Nar Kaam na aave’’ and ‘Anth kaal jo lachmi simre’.
7. These people have for decades rejected puritan Taksali arths of Baani as Bahmanvaadi, instead claimed arths of Prof. Sahib singh ji to be real and true arths of Baani, but now these people have thrown out Prof. Sahib singh also from their group, as he’s now useless for them( because he believed in Dasam Baani). They now claim his arths also to be inappropriate and incomplete and ‘Anti-Gurmat’.
8. Recently In Harimandir sahib and Akaal takhat sahib there were incidents where some RSS inspired people had committed blasphemous acts like sitting on Guruji’s Aasan and throwing acid on Guru Granth Sahib ji. At that time it was people like Bhai Amrik Singh ji ( Taksali and Bahmanvaadi according to them)and Bhai Gurnaam Singh ji who had taken action against them, and in the process cases were registered against Bhai Amrik Singh ji. But these so called ‘’real Sikhs’ were no where to be seen.
9. Sarna, head of Delhi Gurudwara management Committee, sent Saroops of Guru Granth Sahib ji to foreign countries in Containers of Ships. These People didn’t say a word, how could they have? Because it’s this very Gaddar Sarna who’s providing them logistical, economic and political support (he’s a congressman and near to Gandhi family) for their anti-panthic activities.
10. Darshan lal visited Hazoor sahib scores of times before 2007, but he never raised the issue of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji’s Parkash, but when whole Panth was to celebrate 300th Gurta-gaddi Diwas of Guru Granth Sahib ji he raked up this pointless issue. The time, the fervor, which was to be used to unite Sikhs under the Guruship of Guru Granth Sahib ji, to educate and bring back Sikhs who had become worshipers of dehdhaari Pakhandis was lost in internal-conflict.
11. Never once have these anti-Dasam baani nindaks stood up for honour of Guru Granth Sahib ji, never spoken a word against deh-dhaari Pakhandis, confronted them, instead they called Sikhs who had gone to stop Noormehlia Ashutosh on 5th December in Ludhiana as ‘kids of RSS’. Shame on Nindaks!

The list of ninda is very long. These people have no faith in Waheguru, Ten gurus, Guru Granth Sahib ji, Sikh history, traditions. They don’t even believe in Aatma (Soul).
How can these people be called Faithful Sikhs?

Baba Deep Singh ji, Chandi Di Vaar and Baana

Guru Gobind Singh ji in his Baani has praised the Creative Energy of Universe, The Shabad as Khanda! Guru ji blessed only one person in his worldly life with Khanda, Baba Deep Singh ji. Khanda is Double-Edged sword, having power of two Kirpans in it.Two blades of The Khanda blessed to Babaji symbolised Bhagti-Shakti, Piri-Miri, Baani-Baana, Sant-Sipahi Saroop of Khalsa Panth. Babaji was to lead a life of Sant who will in future write 4 Saroops of Guru Granth Sahib ji with his Hand, One Saroop in Arabic and One Saroop in Sindhi language, so that word of Guru reaches to one and all, compile and finalize Saroop of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji, and also live life of a Soldier who’ll fight for Panth in battlefield whenever called upon and honour his commitment to his Guru to return the Head, which Guru Blessed him with! He was a perfect blend of Art of Shastar(weapons) and Shaastar(Knowledge)!
Babaji was given command of Akali Nihang Singhs and ‘’Damdame Vaali Taksal’’! It was to ready Gursikhs,Tyar Bar Tyar, committed to Sikhi parchar and Dharamyudh. Guruji taught Babaji some very special arts of Shastarvidya there and also the Mystical and spiritual value of His Baani, Shastars, Nihang baana, Shastar Pooja and other traditions.

Dasam Guru’s baani is of Bir-Ras, even in completely Spiritual Compositions like Jaap Sahib and Akaal Ustat, we see Bir-Ras as the basic theme. Most amazing composition of Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj, whose every word is filled with Bir-Ras, which eulogises Dharam-Yudh is’’ Chandi di Vaar’’. The Power it has is unmatched, unexplainable and unthinkable. It was the Baani read by Babaji everyday with blessings of Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj, was closest to his heart,so close that when He was fighting with his head on his palm, he was singing Chandi Di Vaar!It was read by Millions of Singhs in 18th, 19th and 20th century and is still being read by many many Gursikh pyaare. But as there is Maryada for every baani, Chandi di vaar has a very unique maryada. It has the Bir-Ras in it, which wakes up warrior inside every human whoever reads it, inspires the faithful to fight for Dharam and Sacrifice life if need be. One Baani Nindak asked, how come Sikhs fought at the time of Sixth Guru against the Mughals, defeated them? There was no Dasam Granth then. These fools need to be asked, If Sikhs could fight just that way, what was the need for creation of Khalsa panth? Why Guruji did choose Panj Piare and started the Khalsa tradition of Panj Singhs? What was the need? These people have never done any Naam Simran, done Sangat of any Mahapurakh, I’m not saying I’m best, no, not at all but I can say I’m better than those who speak against Guru’s Baani, history and Shaheed Singhs.

Little bit of deep research makes everything clear. When Guru Hargobind Sahib ji fought mughals, he was present Physically in all the four battles to lead and guide his Sikhs . His Spiritual power was helping Sikhs as he held the sword in his hand and motivated his Sikhs to fight the enemy. But that was not to be the case after Guru Gobind Singh ji was to go to Sachkhand. Who would have led Khalsa Army in Battlefield, Guided panth in times of trouble, and protected the maryada if he hadn’t started the institution of Panj Piare?? When in battlefield, who would have stirred up the warrior spirit of Sikhs?? Answer is Baani of Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj!

‘’When a Guru, A Master composes Baani, it has the power to take the reader, The Sikh to the same level where Guru composed it! When Guru Nanak Dev ji or Guru Arjan Dev ji composed baani, it was in awastha of One-ness with Waheguru, if we read that Baani again and again, it’ll take us also to the very same awastha. When we read Akaal Ustat, it has the power to take us out of this body, into infinity! Where we are one with creation of Waheguru Akaal and sing ‘’Tuhi, Tuhi, Tuhi, Tuhi’. If Guru Shares his Knowledge, His Gyaan, His Naam-Ras with his Sikhs through his Baani, through his words, takes his Sikh to the same level as his, same way Guru transfers his Power, His Shakti, and His Mahakaal Saroop to Sikhs with his word, his baani. Gurus Placed their Knowledge, gyaan, Shaant-ras, Anand in Baani of Guru Granth Sahib ji, Same way Guru Gobind Singh ji placed his Infinte Shakti in his Baani, transferred his Bir-ras to his Singhs through this Baani of Chandi Di Vaar. But it has much much power, which a normal human being can’t carry,How can a weak and sick person carry a heavy load on his head? He’s bound to give up. That’s why Guruji guided Babaji to make Singhs read Lots of Japji Sahib, Sukhmani Sahib and Jaap Sahib Paaths first, so that they are able to absorb the power of Chandi Di vaar in them, so that it doesn’t get over their heads. Other important Maryada he started was of reading Uggardanti Chhand after Chandi Di Vaar, its still a puratan Maryada, which Charhdi kala Gursikhs have carried seena baseena!( In puratan times, Chandi di Vaar was not allowed to be read until Jathedar had passed the Bhujangi) Another important thing he ordered was to read Baani for having Shastars.Maharaj ji ordered Sikhs to read as much baani ,as much Shastars they wanted to have. Babaji had 11 chakkars,4 Khande, one Kirpan in his Dumalla, one Tega, two Kattars, one pistol, two Kards, One Farsa, one jamdarh, large gajgah and his 27 Kgs Khanda always in his kamarkasa! It weighed around 50 Kgs! But to have this much Sarabloh on his body and still stay Shaant was his unique quality. For this his daily Nitnem was, 110 japji Sahibs, 51 jaap Sahibs,5 Sukhmani Sahibs,21 Chandi di vaar(with Uggardanti) and nitnem of Das Granthi. All this used to take him around 12 hours, from 1 at amrit vela to 1 in afternoon, but this Brahmgiani son of Guru was always tyar bar tyar again afterwards, holding santhya and Shastarvidya Akhada in evening. He slept for just an hour, that also to fulfil nitnem of Kirtan Sohila! Akaaaaaaaall!''

Nowadays some ppl, especially kids are much interested in putting on Nihang Baana, its good thing, but it’s a benti to read as much baani also! For One Shastar in Dumalla, one Jaap Sahib atleast, other than nitnem! Then only this dumalla, this baana, these shastars will stay with us, help us, guide us and make us warrior Sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji, else we’ll fall! I’ve seen many people fall, just because they made a fashion statement by wearing Baana, but this baana is held by Dasam baani and many people even don’t know about Dasam baani. When Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj left for Sachkhand in 1708, after him it was Baani of Guru Granth Sahib ji which took Sikhs to supreme spiritual Awastha, Maryada of panj Piare which held the Panth as One, and Baani of Guru Gobind Singh ji, especially Chandi Di Vaar, which inspired, empowered and led Singh’s into battlefield. Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj had blessed his Nihangs to be the first Ones to demolish and vanquish any Enemy in Battlefield; He blessed them with power to stand solid like a rock in battlefield and roar like a elephant and fight like a Lion in Battlefield.
ਧੂਹਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਣਾ ਤਿਖੀਆਂ ਬਢ ਲਾਹਨਿ ਅੰਗਾਂ ॥
ਪਹਲਾ ਦਲਾਂ ਮਿਲੰਦਿਆਂ ਭੇੜ ਪਇਆ ਨਿਹੰਗਾਂ ॥ ੪੭॥
But only True Nihangs like Baba Deep Singh ji Shaheed and Baba Phoola Singh ji were blessed, who loved their Guru and His Baani and were Parpakk in Sikhi Maryada, always ready to die for Guru’s honour. It was for those Nihangs some poet has written these lines..

ਅਸੀ ਵਾਰਿਸ ਹਾਂ ਪੰਥ ਦੀ ਆਤਮਾਂ ਦੇ,ਪੂਜਾ ਕੀਤੀ ਐ ਜਿਸ ਦੀ ਨਿਹੰਗ ਬਣਕੇ!
ਕਦੇ ਚਰਖੜੀ ਤੇ ਕਦੇ ਆਰਿਆਂ ਤੇ, ਕਦੇ ਤੀਰ ਤੇ ਕਦੇ ਤੁਫੰਗ ਬਣਕੇ !
ਅਸੀ ਜੰਮੇ ਤਾ ਸ਼ਮਾ ਨੂੰ ਰੂਪ ਚੜਿਆ,ਸੜੀਏ ਕਿਓਂ ਨਾਂ ਫੇਰ ਪਤੰਗ ਬਣਕੇ!
ਮੌਤ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਸੁਹਾਗਣ ਹੈ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਦੀ ,ਜਿਓਂਦੀ ਅੰਗ ਬਣਕੇ,ਮਰਦੀ ਸੰਗ ਬਣਕੇ!
