Bhai Mani Singh Contribtion in Sikh History
© 2018 JETIR August 2018, Volume 5, Issue 8 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) BHAI MANI SINGH CONTRIBTION IN SIKH HISTORY Simranjeet Kaur, M.Phil. Research Scholar, History Department, Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo. Dr. Daljeet Kaur Gill, Assistant Professor, Department of History, Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo. ABSTRACT Bhai Mani Singh is an important personality in Sikh History. He was a very good speaker and writer. He performed the service of a priest in Amritsar and played an important role in reforming the dismal conditions there. He spent all his life for saving the unity, integrity and honour of Sikh religion and promoted knowledge among the Sikhs by becoming the founder of the Giani Sect. He created an example for the coming generations by sacrificing himself at the age of ninety years. The sacrifice of Bhai Mani Singh filled every Sikh with a wave of anger and impassion. His unique martyrdom had turned the history of Sikhism forwards. His personality, in real meaning; is a source of inspiration for his followers. Sikh history, from the very beginning, has an important place in human welfare and social reforms for its sacrifices and martyrdoms. The ancestors and leaders of Sikh sect made important contributions at different times and places. Bhai Mani Singh showed his ability in different tasks initiated by Sikh Gurus by remaining in Sikh sect ant took the cause of social reforms to a new height. To keep the dignity of Sikh History intact, he sacrificed his life by getting himself chopped into pieces at the age of 90 for not being able to pay the prescribed taxes.1 While making an unparallel contribution in the Sikh history, Bhai Mani Singh performed the service of a priest in Amritsar and played an important role in reforming the dismal conditions there.

And Guru Gobind Singh (AD 1666-1708)
A Complete Introduction by Dr. H.S. Singha Former Chairman CBSE and Satwant Kaur A-78 Naralna Indl. Area^ Phase-1, New Delhi-110028 © Hemkunt Press 1994 First Published 1994 ISBN 81-7010-245-6 Hemkunt Books on Sikhism The Story of Guru Nanak The Story of Guru Goblnd Singh Biography of Guru Nanak The Story of Maharaja Ranjit Singh Being a Sikh Stories from the Sikh History Book I-VII Sikh Studies Stories about the Sikh Gurus I- Stories about the Sikh Heroes Sikhism-A Complete Introduction Japji Hymns from Guru Granth Sahib Hymns from the Dasam Granth Introduction to Sikhism Mini Encyclopaedia of Sikhism The Sikh Religion and the Sikh People Philosophy, Facts and Fundamentals of Sikh Religion PREFACE It is quite paradoxical but true that religions which should generate love many times become a cause of hatred; religions which should promote peace in the world have resulted in most of the killings and war in history; and religions which should unify society have ended up in dividing humanity. This curious riddle is because a particular religion is not clearly understood by the followers of other religions and is sometimes misinterpreted by its own followers. We believe that all religions are basically good and paths to the same ultimate goal. They must be clearly understood, appreciated and, more than anything else, tolerated, for a man has a right to go to “heaven" in his own way. We do not believe in the complete negation of religion. As Einstein has said even science without religion is lame. This book is aimed as a comprehensive introduction to Sikhism both for the Sikhs and non-Sikhs.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. Sikhism Is Only 500 Years
Sikhism WaheGuru Ji Ka Khalsa, WaheGuru Ji Ki Fateh. Sikhism is only 500 years old but with over 20 million Sikhs around the world, is the fifth largest world religion. Sikhism was founded by Guru Nanak Dev Ji (left), the first Guru in the 15th century in the Punjab (the land of 5 rivers). Following partition in 1947, Punjab is now divided between Pakistan and the northern Indian state of Punjab. The word Guru is composed of Gu meaning darkness and Ru meaning Light. In Sikhism therefore 'Guru' is the "Light that dispels all darkness" and Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the Embodiment of Divine Light. Sikhism is based on compassion; service; equality between males, females and all religions and encourages an honest, truthful living with a rejection of idol worship, the caste system, ritualism and superstitions. In Sikhism, heaven and hell are states of mind represented by joy and sorrow, bliss and agony or light and darkness. Sikhism is a distinct religion and shouldn't be viewed as linked to either Islam or Hinduism. Guru Nanak Dev Ji said "I am neither a Hindu nor a Muslim, I am a human being". Guru Nanak Dev Ji spread a simple message of Ek Onkar, we are all one, created by the one Creator of all Creation. He said that there is one God and the name of God is Sat Nam (truth). To show it's importance, Ek Onkar is the first line at the head of all gurbani and forms the first line of the Mool Mantar which begins the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

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".

Sant Baba Deep Singh, Sikhi Explored
Sikhi Explored Monday 6th February 2012 Volume 1 | Issue 7 Life and martyrdom of Shaheed Sant Baba Deep Singh: One of the greatest ever Gursikhs This week, on the 10th February 1758, one of the most outstanding and piv- otal figures in Sikh history attained shaheedi, whilst fighting in Amritsar. Sant Baba Deep Singh Jee was an em- bodiment of perfect virtues and epito- mised the character of a Sikh. His life and what he achieved was nothing short of remarkable, and although he is primarily known for his unmatched feat in the Battle of Amritsar, his en- tire life is inspirational to Sikhs around the world. How did a man, aged 76 years old, pick up a sword weighing 16kg, and despite having his head severed, still continue to fight? It sounds unbelievable but all it takes is a look at his life to realise that this is indeed the truth. What was Baba Deep Singh Jee doing throughout the course of his life that gave him the power to display this „superhuman‟ miracle? All will be uncovered in this week‟s Sikhi Explored... Early life Sant Jee was born in a village called Pahuvind, and his mother, Mata Jeoni Ji and father, Bhai Bhagat Ji named their only son Deepa. At the time of his birth, his mother wished three things for her beloved son: 1) May my son be clothed well, even if I wear old clothes 2) May my son always eat good food, even if I stay hungry 3) May my son only encounter good people in his life, who wish well for him.
