Might of Guru Sahib's Mehals


Recommended Posts

Here's an interesting extract from Gur Pratap Granth by Kavi Santokh Singh Ji. One of the great pillars of Sikhism was always Guru Sahib's own Mehals, whether serving the hungry as Mata Kivi Ji through Langar or leading the Khalsa as Mata Sundri Ji. 

Quote

The Guru Mother, then, addressed another communication to the Singhs, Allowing them to adopt any strategy they deemed fit. She accused Banda Singh for being so audacious, That he had become disloyal to the House of the Guru. (13) She declared that she (the Guru’s House) owed nothing to the Mughals, And that she lived (in Delhi) as the Mughals owed a lot to the Gurus. As her ancestors had made the supreme sacrifices, She was prepared to make any sacrifice to opposite Mughals. (

14) Dohra : She remarked that Banda Singh was directed to serve the Khalsa Panth, Rather than ordained to be a sovereign (by the Guru). As far as the sovereignty over the Khalsa Panth was concerned, It was vested with the Khalsa Panth itself by the Guru’s own will. (

15) Chaupai : From the day the Guru mother heaped a curse on Banda Singh, He lost his wits and (became disoriented) since that day. He called for the service of a prostitute from Mandi, And entered into a wedlock with that woman.

(16) Since he had already married two other woman (at Chamba), He had fallen from his character and lost his sanctity. He started shaking his head (desperately in the manner of a sorcerer), And mumbled words which remained unintelligible to others. (17)

Earlier on Kavi Ji also states that Guru Mother (most likely Mata Sundri Ji based on how Bhai Mani Singh Ji addressed her in his letters) also did Ardaas to take away all of Banda Singh Bahadur Ji's Spiritual Powers, and as per her Ardaas he lost control over them.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
