This is amply supported by his being recognised with ‘siropas’ (robe of honour), by all the ‘Takhats’ (Highest Sikh Religious Seats). His devotion to Kirtan and high spirituality attracted an increasing band of like-minded Gursikhs. His subject book, ‘Rangle Sajjan’, is a memoire to twenty-three of his companions, who pre-deceased him after leading extraordinary lives. There was always a high purpose behind his writings that were confined to promote Sikh ideals and spread Guru Nanak’s message, prompted by Divine Being. He has quoted Gurbani liberally to support his arguments in his books. In fact he always listened to entire recitation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to select Gurbani quotes for the selected topics. However in the narration of lives of the selected Gursikhs, he has forcefully brought out how strength is imparted to their characters by virtuous and single-minded devotion on the Path of Spirituality. This is what the Khalsa Panth is about and named as the corporate body of Guru, while Sri Guru Granth Sahib represents the Guru spirit, embodiments of the common spirit of the Ten Gurus. A simple life, child-like devotion with humility and selfless service bring about rapid spiritual progress and even the illiterate devotees attain wisdom and Gurmat knowledge. It is possible for men of intense spirituality to falter, but their sense of humility and realization of wrongdoing and atonement can bring them back to spiritual glory. Love for Divine-Being and remaining humble and obedient can win many hearts and make life truly blissful. Such are the virtues demonstrated in the narrated lives. Obviously it is intended to enthuse and motivate aspiring Gursikhs to follow worthy examples. To translate this book into English was a crying need of our time for its wider reach for the benefit of our youth, who are not so proficient in the Punjabi language. With blessings of Satguru, this has been successfully undertaken by Bhai Jaspinder Singh Ji, his family and other enthusiastic young students. It is hoped that even in this first attempt, the original intended Gurmat message shall be conveyed. I WWW.AKJ.ORG personally congratulate the team behind this work and do wish for the good work to continue. June 25, 2000 Dr. Darshan Singh Toronto, Canada WWW.AKJ.ORG FOREWORD Bhai Jaspinder Singh has rendered great service in rendering English translation of ‘Rangle Sajjan’ of Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji’s book containing the remarkable life sketch of some multifaceted, God intoxicated persons imbued in Nam Simran, and thus making it available to wider circles. The translation covering 23 chapters is in lucid and exquisite style making an enjoyable reading. The Translator deserves the gratitude for the faithful and idiomatic rendering of the high order. June 28, 2000 Balbir Singh 23 G Sarabha Nagar Ludhiana 141001 Panjab, India WWW.AKJ.ORG WORDS OF GRATITUDE Imagine a retired soldier, with little basic education and total stranger to the literary world, being assigned the daunting duty of translating Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji’s book! However such happens to be the Dispension-Divine. As a soldier, I could only agree to do my best rather than shirk a duty. It is hoped, that my readers in their magnanimity, would put up with the poor and faulty presentation and yet manage to get at the real message, to convey the Essence of Gurmat of the original book, ‘Rangle Sajjan’. It was during one of the July Samagams at Toronto, to commemorate the sacred memory of Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji, that his old associate Dr. Darshan Singh Ji and Giani Amolak Singh Ji alluded to some life-stories, listed in ‘Rangle Sajjan’. This served like igniting the fuse in the souls of young participants and enthused them to learn more in detail. On popular demand I translated four chapters of the book. It happened to be well received by our student community. Ever since this Samagam the active participation of Bhai Jiwan Singh Ji and Dr. Darshan Singh Ji, have led many aspirants to the Gurmat-Way of life by having been baptised and even become very good Kirtaniyas in regular Gurdwara programs. During my visit to Ludhiana, I went to pay my respects to Bhai Balbir Singh Ji, son of Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji. I told him about the interest of the Toronto youth in the translation of Bhai Sahib’s books. In turn he asked me to undertake the translation of the entire book, ‘Rangle Sajjan’, as a ‘real service’. That is how I came to look at it as a privilege to render ‘service’ and labour of love. I have truly enjoyed my work and many of my family and friends shared in it, proof- reading and typing. It is now fervently hoped that feedback will be received from enlightened readers to improve this translation, but that this effort will be of some use in the meanwhile. April 26, 2000 Jaspinder Singh 24 Newdale Place, Brampton, ON, L6S 5Z2, Canada WWW.AKJ.ORG INTRODUCTION It is often seen that there is non-acceptance of the true incidents, pertaining to the lives of the Olden Saints, that have an element of amazing wonder. The argument is non-occurrence in the present day life of such incidents. Those, particularly with scientific mind, reject miraculous incidents as figments of imagination, that are untrue in real life. They believe that truth can always be verified through scientific means acceptable to human mind and intellect through perception. All else beyond this is wrong and false. The life incidents of 23 individuals should adequately remove such doubts, as the recent true happenings, witnessed by many of the surviving people of our times. It establishes that the spiritual experiences continue in the current times, just as in the old. The reference is made only to the spiritual life of individuals. Human life has many ups and downs and only a few rare may have the sameness of spiritually high state throughout. Such a steady life is a Divine Gift, otherwise the danger of slipping is lurking at every step. Bhagat Kabir Ji says: kbIr grbu n kIjIAY rMku n hsIAY koie ] Ajhu su nwau smuMdR mih ikAw jwnau ikAw hoie ] 39 ] O, Kabir! Never bloat with pride nor laugh at another’s misery. Who knows what thy own life may have in store for you yet.39. It is not easy to gain spirituality and to maintain is yet more difficult in view of the temptations or pit-falls. This can be seen in the life example of Bhai Sarwan Singh Ji, Phalewal, how he fell from the apex of spiritual height.

  • Contemporary Evidence on Sikh Rites and Rituals in the Eighteenth Century
    179 Karamjit K. Malhotra: Sikh Rites and Rituals Contemporary Evidence on Sikh Rites and Rituals in the Eighteenth Century Karamjit K Malhotra Panjab University, Chandigarh ________________________________________________________________ This paper on Sikh rites and rituals analyses the whole range of contemporary evidence on the eighteenth century in three phases for observing continuity and change in the rites of initiation, birth, marriage and death. The Sikh sources are relevant for all the three phases, the Persian sources associated with the Mughal empire are relevant for the first, and the European accounts for the third. Two major findings emerge from this study: the continuity of normative statements on Sikh rites and rituals in which the Brahman priest and Brahmanical scriptures had no role, and there was a large degree of correspondence between the normative statements and empirical evidence on Sikh rites and rituals. _______________________________________________________________ Introduction No historian of the Sikhs has brought rites and rituals of the Sikhs during the eighteenth century directly into focus. Harjot Oberoi, for example, looks upon rituals as ‘a key element in the construction of religious identity’, and underlines the importance of the ‘rites of passage’ for Sikh identity. He maintains that prior to the Khalsa transformation, the Sikhs possessed only a fluid identity, and did not think of ‘a distinct set of life-cycle rituals’. The Khalsa introduced new rites related to birth, initiation and death which ‘endowed an individual with a new and bounded identity’ to demarcate the Khalsa from the rest of the ‘civil society’. Oberoi presents these rituals in a few paragraphs on the Chaupa Singh Rahitnama which he places between 1750 and 1765.

  • Sources for the Study of Gurū Gobind Singh's Life and Times
    G.S. Mann: Sources for Study 229 Sources for the Study of Guru Gobind Singh's Life and Times Gurinder Singh Mann University of California, Santa Barbara ___________________________________________________________ This essay surveys the sites, artifacts, and literary texts associated with Guru Gobind Singh's period (1675-1708). In the process, it introduces a set of sources of information as well as attempts at reorientation of the context that produced them. In a brief conclusion, the essay highlights the need for expanding and revising the current understanding of the Guru's life. ___________________________________________________________ The present day understanding of Guru Gobind Singh's life is constructed around three landmarks: his birth in Patna in eastern India, in 1666; his creation of the Khalsa ("Community of the Pure") at Anandpur, in the Punjab hills, in 1699; and his replacement of the office of the personal Guru with the Granth, the Sikh scripture, thereby elevating it to the position of the Guru Granth ("Book manifested as the Guru") at the time of his death, in Nanderh in south India, in 1708.1 The details that fill in the forty-two years of the Guru's life are culled from a variety of texts, which begin with the Dasam Granth ("the tenth book" or "book of the tenth [Guru]"), an anthology of poetry created largely between 1685 to 1698, and Sri Gur Sobha ("Praise of the Guru"), a poetic history of the period presently dated in 1711, and include eighteenth and nineteenth century writings culminating in Giani Gian Singh's synthetic narrative, Tvarikh Guru Khalsa ("History of the Guru Community"), completed in 1891.2 (For a brief review of this chronology of events see Appendix).

  • The Points of Contention
    Gurmat Rehat Maryada The Points of Contention VIZ – A – VIZ Bhai Randhir Singh and the AKJ By: Bhai Manmohan Singh Jee, LA April 1993 Prologue In the early eighties when I had just moved to the United States, I happened to see a Report submitted by an American Sikh belonging to the 3H0, regarding his sojourn of about one year in India. He claimed to have taken Amrit in a Samagam arranged by the Akhand Kirtani Jatha (AKJ) and had developed close relations with some of the Jatha members there. The contents of the report stunned me as he had strongly criticized certain practices and beliefs of the AKJ which he sarcastically referred to as Bhai Randhir Jatha and to its members as Bhai Randhir Sikhs. After complementing that "Bhai Randhir Jatha, like good Gursikhs the world over, are not eaters of filth (meat, fish, eggs) nor do they pollute their consciousness with any intoxicants", the rest of his report strongly condemned the other practices and beliefs of the Jatha. Referring to their use of Keski as a Rahit, he accused them of changing the accepted Sikh Kakaars and called it heretic, schismatic and "an attempt to sabotage the Unity of the Khalsa". He went so far as to bracket the Jatha with "harmless" or so called "minor reforms" such as Nirankari and Namdhari movements. The Gurmat tradition of preparing Gur-Ka-Langar by Amritdharis only, "reeked of Hinduism, elitism, new communalism and totally un-Sikh like". By not reading Raag Mala, "the Bhai Randhir's have attacked the purity and unity of Sri Guru Granth Sahib".

  • From Guru Nanak to Maharaja Ranjit Singh
    FFrroomm GGuurruu NNaannaakk ttoo MMaahhaarraajjaa RRaannjjiitt SSiinngghh (Bibliographic description of books in English) (Dr. H. S. Chopra) PhD.(His.) PhD(Lib. & Inf. Sc.) University Librarian [email protected] , [email protected] Bhai Gurdas Library Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar Introduction We have few bibliographies of Sikhism which are comprehensive and updated. Printed bibliographies serve the purpose only upto the date of their publication. Writers found it difficult to update them. In the present scenario with the coming of Internet there is no such problem of updating. In this way this bibliography will be first of its kind which will be regularly updated. An attempt has been made to prepare a bibliography of books written in English at any time focusing on the period 1469-1849 AD i.e. from Guru Nanak Dev to Maharaja Ranjit Singh. We have tried to cover all the books whether available in Bhai Gurdas Central Library, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar (Pb.) or available or published at any place in the world. Sikhism, the youngest of the major world religions, strictly monotheistic in its fundamental belief, was born in the Punjab. Sikhism is not only a philosophical system but is also a distinct cultural pattern, a way of life signified by the term Sikh Panth. In Punjabi the term is ‘sikkh’ usually transliterated sikh. “Sikh” now almost universally denotes a follower of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism. According to Guru Nanak, God is One, a single Supreme Reality. He is the creator, preserver, destroyer and recreator of material existence, but He Himself is uncreated, unborn and self-existent.

    1 Mann: Sikh Educational Heritage Sikh Educational Heritage Gurinder Singh Mann University of California, Santa Barbara ___________________________________________________________________ The paper traces the origin, elaboration, and systematization of Sikh educational heritage from the Sikh community’s founding in the early sixteenth century to the present day. It begins with an examination of the core Sikh beliefs, and then goes on to locate the vessels, sites, and modes that the Sikhs developed to preserve and transmit these beliefs to successive generations over the past five centuries. The paper concludes with an attempt to understand various strands within twentieth century Sikh scholarship, and the possible impact of globalization of the Sikh community on its educational heritage. ___________________________________________________________________ Sikh educational heritage is deeply rooted in Sikh beliefs and shapes Sikh practice. After all, the very word Sikh means a learner, a disciple, one who discovers the truth from the compositions of the Gurus, the founding leaders of the Sikh tradition (Sikhi sikhia gur vichari, M1, GG, 465), and then applies it to his or her life’s activity (Guri kahia sa kar kamavahu, M1, GG, 933).1 The literary corpus that constitutes the core of this heritage began to form at the very outset of the Sikh tradition in the early sixteenth century, and continued to expand until the middle of the nineteenth century.2 In subsequent times, scholars have attempted to clarify, explicate, and standardize the information enshrined in these primary sources, and Sikh religious leadership has made concerted efforts toward its dissemination. This essay is divided into three sections: the first traces the development of the Sikh educational heritage and addresses basic issues such as its nature, composition, and significance within the Sikh tradition.
