The account which follows is that of Guru Tegh Bahadur, Nanak IX. His martyrdom was a momentous and unique event. Never in the annals of human history had the leader of one religion given his life for the religious freedom of others. Tegh Bahadur’s deed [martyrdom] was unique (Guru Gobind Singh, Bachittar Natak.) A martyrdom to stabilize the world (Bhai Gurdas Singh (II) Vaar 41 Pauri 23) ***** First edition: April 2017 Second edition: May 2021 Revised and updated with interpretation of the main themes of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s Gurbani. References to other religions in this book: Sikhi (Sikhism) respects all religious paths to the One Creator Being of all. Guru Nanak used the same lens of Truthful Conduct and egalitarian human values to judge all religions as practised while showing the right way to all in a spirit of Sarbatt da Bhala (wellbeing of all). His teachings were accepted by most good followers of the main religions of his time who understood the essence of religion, while others opposed.

  • The Guru Sahiban Never Fell Victim to Any Ailment, All Such Stories About Them Are False and Misleading
    Ek onkaar satgur Prasad All the Guru Sahiban never fell victim to any ailment, all such stories about them are false and misleading ( Excerpts of the speech delivered by S. Hardial Singh, IAS, founder, Sarab Rog Ka Aukhad Naam Mission, in the Disease Eradication Camp organized by the mission , on the 5th March, 2009) Honourable lovers of the almighty Guru, Let the Lord be praised Waheguru ji ka khalsa , wahegurru ji ki fateh All of you are very blessed that with the grace of God, you are able to attend this camp and you will be benefited by it. On this occasion I want to talk about some stories about the diseases of Guru sahiban. We need to discuss whether these are based on Gurbani or not. There are two types of grief, one that relate to health and the other that relate to all other issues. I mean to say that if we separate the grief caused by disease, we would understand the benevolent feats of Guru sahiban. Guru sahib has said: “Prathme mitia tun ka dookh, mun sagal kao hoa sookh” Page 395 The first benefit of the prayer is that all the physical sufferings have vanished. A person who is suffering from disease cannot pray. Do me such a favour that in spite of physical ailments, the mind is blessed. How is it possible? You all know that if the body is disease ridden or if one cannot sit cross-legged, how one can pray. If the body is in pain, how can one meditate and be blessed.
