Amritsar Printed at: Printwell 146, Industrial Focal Point, Amritsar Dedication This Humble effort to describe Shri Guru Nanak Dev's Life, Travels and Teachings is dedicated to the great saint of twentieth century, Bhagat Puran Singh, founder of All India Pingalwara Charitable Society (Regd.) Amritsar. It was due to his blessings when I met him in July 1991 that an ignorant person like me could study and understand Gurbani and write about the Guru' teachings. Bhagat Puran Singh was a great soul and even now, he guides and removes suffering of those who help his mission of running Pingalwara. I have seen that in many cases, when some people sent donations with full faith, their diseases were cured and problems solved.

Except for quotations with acknowledgement, no part of this publication may be reproduced in any form or medium without the specific written permission of the author or his legal representatives. 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.

UNIT 4 SIKHISM Contents 4.0 Objectives 4.1 Introduction 4.2 Origin of Sikh Religion and Gurus 4.3 Sikh Scripture: Guru Granth Sahib 4.4 Teachings of Sikh Religion 4.5 Ethics of Sikhism 4.6 Sikh Institutions 4.7 Sikh Literature 4.8 Let Us Sum Up 4.9 Key Words 4.10 Further Readings and References 4.11 Answers to Check Your Progress 4.0 OBJECTIVES The main objective of this unit is to give an introduction to Sikhism. By the end of this Unit you are expected to understand: • the origin and development of Sikhism through the successive ten Gurus • the structural as well as conceptual framework of the Sikh Scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, and its cosmopolitan vision • the ethical aspects of Sikhism, ethical code of conduct, status of women and contributions of Sikh women to spirituality • the practical implications of Sikh teachings • the role of Sikh institutions • the Sikh ceremonies, rituals and festivals • the Sikh literature and Sikh socio-religious movements 4.1 INTRODUCTION In the history of Punjab, Guru Nanak appeared at a time when there was complete disintegration not only social and political but also moral and spiritual. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikh religion, has presented a microscopic portrayal of society in his compositions. He was totally aware of his surrounding atmosphere, religious as well as non-religious. He condemns the external paraphernalia of religion with all its religious rites, ceremonies, sacrifices, pilgrimages, idol-worship and ascetic practices which enhance human’s ego and deprive one of highest spiritual truths. He denounces the empty religious rituals and reacted strongly against the formal ways of worship of orthodox priestly class of Islam and Hinduism.

A Spiritual W Ay of Life
A Spiritual W ay of Life Bibi Dr. Inderjit Kaur Publisher : Dr. Inderjit Kaur, President All India Pingalwara, Charitable Society (Regd.) Amritsar (1) A Spiritual W ay of Life by Bibi Dr. Inderjit Kaur August : 2010 Publisher : Dr. Inderjit Kaur, President All India Pingalwara, Charitable Society (Regd.) Amritsar Printer Printwell 146, Industrial, Focal Point, Amritsar (2) Preface When a selfless person like Dr. Inderjeet Kaur puts down her thoughts on significant humanitarian topics, one sits up to take notice. Having worked with leprosy patients for 30 years only with Gurbani Guidance and God's grace, I can easily feel how as a successor of Bhagat Puran Singh, she feels the interminable wish to remain engrossed in the service of the down-trodden. Also her Gurbani-oriented exposition on death is heartening. Let me first dilate on the capacity of a selfless worker in terms of the message of Guru Granth Sahib. The worker is not, in my view, only a social worker but is a servant of Guru Nanak having no hiatus between what he says and what he does. Then, as I said in a London magazine some years ago, a Sikh is an Ambassador of love to humanity. Add to this the insatiable hunger for self-annihilation. Entrenched in the service and rememberance of the Lord and His creation, he always symbolizes the qualities of the Lord himself. My impression is that Dr. Inderjeet Kaur has beautifully encompassed the attributes of a selfless Servant of Humanity in her life and thoughts imbibed from the work and teachings of 'Bhagat Puran Singh'.

Sant Ravidas: 146 Sambhāṣaṇ Volume 2 : Issue 1 & 2 Mortification of the Body, Masculinism, and the Hindu Right Wing’Spolitical Right Hindu Performative Offakiri
146 Sant Ravidas: Making sense of Ravidas amidst the appropriating narratives of the bhagat, the ‘reborn brahmin’ and the political performatives of fakiri Abhiruchi Ranjan Volume 2 : Issue 1 & Volume Department of Political Science Kristu Jayanti College, Bengaluru [email protected] Sambhāṣaṇ 147 Based on the verses, discourses and hagiographic work sourced from the literature and field work at the Dera Sachkhand Ballan in Punjab, this work attempts to extricate Ravidas’ devotional thought and the ideas associated with it, from the narratives of appropriation. The narratives of bhagat Ravidas and the ‘reborn Brahmin’ portray Ravidas as a follower,undermining the long legacy of his deification and reclamation as satguru (the truest guru). These narratives attempt to substitute the past and contemporary assertions of the Ad Dharmis and Ravidassias respectively, with a compromised depiction of Ravidas’ life and thought. Ravidas situates the self, outside the disciplining and control of the body through the networks of purity/pollution. This paper attempts to highlight the liberating and empowering implications of Ravidas’ devotional thought for the marginalized self and body by juxtaposing his views against Vaishnava bhakti thought and the Hindu right’s framing of the body as a register of masculinist power and control. Volume 2 : Issue 1 & Volume It further attempts to visibilise the inexorable link between practices of ascetic mortification of the body, masculinism, and the Hindu right wing’s political performative of fakiri. Sambhāṣaṇ Sambhāṣaṇ Volume 2 : Issue 1 & 2 148 The guru, the bhagat and the ‘reborn brahmin’ 1: Historically, the religious landscape of northern and central India has seen Chishti Sufis, Nath Yogis and Puranic gurus espousing and propagating non-sectarian and overlapping beliefs, forming what is known as a culture of the sants (Gopal 2019).
