Parkash Punj Lastest.Pmd Ekoankar Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji Sahay Brief Satguru-history In the different periods of time the Lord Creator assuming different forms, the Satguru form, have been manifesting in the human form on this earth, for human wel- fare, relieving the poor and grief-stricken from their miseries and to guide the living be- ings for their unification with the Supreme Being. In sequence of the time periods the description of the prophets is given in the Sri Adi Granth Sahib like this: "Satjug tai manio chhalio bal bawan bhaio® Tretai tai manio Ram Raghuvans kahaio® Duapur Krishan Murar Kans kirtarth keo® Ugrasen kau raj abhai bhegtah jan dio® Kalijug parmanu Nanak Guru Angad Amar kahio® Sri Guru raj abichal atal adi purukh farmaio® -Swaiye Mahle Pehle ke pp. 1390 Satta Balwand has stated in Ramkali di Var: "Jot uha jugat sai Seh kaia fer paltiaiÕ" According to Adi Sri Granth Sahib in Satjug Bal Avtar, in treta Bhagwan Ram, in Duapar Bhagwan Krishan and in Kaljug Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji prophet have mani- fested in this world. At present in Kaljug the flame of Satguru Nanak is illuminating. It is stated in the Goshat of Ajitte Randhave: "Sara Kalijug bhogsi Nanak dhar awtar" -Janamsakhi Bhai Bala Ji Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji have stated in Gujri Rag: "Abichal neev dhri Guru Nanak nit nit charai sawaeeÕ" -Adi Sri Granth Sahib pp.500 The brief description of the Guru-history since Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to the present time is like this:- 1 Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Luminance : full moon's day of Kattak, Samvat 1526 (A.D. 1469). Place of Luminance : Rai Bhoi di Talwandi (Now Sri Nankana Sahib, Pakistan) Father : Sri Mehta Kalu Ji, Bedi, Patwari Mother : Tripta Ji Sister : Nanaki Ji Sons : Sri Chand Ji, Lakhami das Ji Mingled with the Supreme : 23 Assu (Sudi 10), Samvat1596 Soul (September 1539 A.D.) in the age of 70 years at Kartarpur. Bani : Japuji, Asa di Var, Side Gosht, Baramah, RagTukhari, Patti Malhar te Majh di Var, and Nasiatnama. 974 Shabad in 19 Ragas. (1) Salok Sahaskriti, Salok, Varan te Vadhik te Sohile. Satguru Nanak Dev Ji performed miraculous deeds since his childhood and made the people feet the existence of God. Sri Satguru Ji visited all the four directions since 1501 A.D. with Bhai Bala and Bhai Mardana to put the bewildered humanity on the right track and professed to the people to work hard, share the food with others and remember and repeat the Nam. Satguru Nanak Dev ji not only traveled far and wide for the emancipation of the people but also pursuaded the Sidhs and Naths, who used to go to the mountain tops for meditation after relinquishing this world, to carry on the Bhajan- Bani by adopting Grihast Marg. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji stressed on the need of a Guru and the importance of the bestowal of the Guru. The salvation of the servant takes place by itself but the being can cross the Bhavjal- Sagar only after taking refuge with the embodied Guru and mingles with the Supreme Soul. 2 The Gurutradition is continuing since ages and would keep continue. All the Gurus had performed their functions according to the situations of their times. "Hari Jugah jugo jug jugah jugo sad piri Guru chalandi ®” " Jug jug piri chalai Satguru ki®” - Sri Adi Granth pp.1179. None of the Gurus had considered the Gurgaddi as ancestral heritage or personal matter, but they appointed the rightful person as their successor. All the Guru Sahiban are the living flame of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. From the ages Satguru had been acquiring the luminance form and kept changing bodily. At present on the sacred seat of Sri Satguru Nanak Dev ji, Sri Satguru Ram Singh ji, Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji is seated. The basic tenet of Sikhism has been to obey the commands of ones Satguru and acquire joys of life. And obeying of the commands is a real Sikhism. Considering the Satguru as the Lord Creator, the Supreme Being, to remain completely dedicated to the Satguru, never to think while obeying the reverence and reason has no compatibility in itself. Where the question arises then keep it in mind that the feeling of reverence has vanished, there remains no reverence at all. On the commands of Sri Satguru Nanak Dev Ji his sons Sri Chand and Lakhmi dass did not prove true. Bhai Bala and Bhai Mardana also considered Satguru Nanak Dev Ji as complete saint and they also acquired saintliness. Baba Budha Ji considered him Brahm Giani and he also turned Brahm Giani, Bhai Lehna Ji considered Satguru Nanak Dev Ji as the Lord Creator, the Supreme Being and Satguru Nanak Dev Ji in turn named Bhai Lehna as Sri Satguru Anged Dev Ji and appointing him the successor to his sacred seat bestowed him with the Guruship (Eternal Being). It is a matter of faith in the Guru. In the form of Bhai Lehna, Sri Satguru Anged Dev Ji served Sri Satguru Nanak Dev Ji with great reverence and love for seven years from Samvat 1589-1596 (A.D. 1532-1539) living in his feet and without any question accepted every command of Satguru Ji gay faced. Once Sri Satguru Nanak Dev Ji ordered him to retrieve the bowl lying in the mud, the remaining Sikhs and his sons delved deep into their thoughts but Bhai Lehna Ji without bothering for his clean clothes and body brought out the bowl lying in the mud. 3 Once Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji asked, "How much night has passed?" Bhai Lehna Ji replied with folded hands, "O Lord ! the night you have ordered to pass has passed, which you have kept with yourself that is with you, it is neither half nor the full has passed, with your grace the time is moving on." Once Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji issued a command to the Sikhs, "A dead body is lying under this cloth, eat it up." Listening the command of Satguru Ji every other Sikh got shaky but Bhai Lehna Ji submitted meekly, "O, nurturer of the poor, command me from which side I should start eating." When with his orders the cloth was picked up the sweet pudding was lying there. Sri Satguru Nanak Dev Ji approved of the selfless service, devotion and reverence of Bhai Lehna Ji and bestowed him with Guriai by placing five paise and a coconut in the platter and bowing his head before him according to the traditional rites, and by clanging his name from Lehna Ji he blessed and installed him a Guru by the name Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji. The mark of Guriai was put on his head by Baba Budha Ji as per the commands of Sri Satguru Nanak Dev Ji. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji left for his eternal abode at Kartarpur on 23 Assu (Sudi 10), Samvat 1596 (A.D. 1539). 4 Sri Satguru Angad Dev Ji Luminance : 5 Vaisakh Samvat 1561 (31 March 1503 A.D.) Place of Luminance : Village Rai Matte di Sarai (District Ferozepur) Father : Sri Pheru Mal Ji, Khatri Mother : Daya Kaur Ji Mehal : Khiwi Ji Offsprings : Sri Dasu Ji, Sri Datu Ji, Bibi Amro Ji, Bibi Anokhi Ji. Enthronement : 17 Harh 1596 (1539 A.D.) Mingled with the Supreme Soul : On Chet Sudi 4, Samvat 1609 (26 March, 1552) at the age of 48 years at Khadur Sahib (District Amritsar). Bani : Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji wrote 62 Salokas in 9 Ragas which are compiled in Adi Sri Granth Sahib. Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji listened the life story of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji from Bhai Bala Ji and dictated the same to Bhai Paira Mokha Ji. Sri Satguru Angad Dev Ji preached Sikhism. Satguru Ji himself obeyed his own Satguru and taught the Sikhs to obey Satguru. He preached to take shelter with the embodied Satguru for aquiring the bestowal of Nam to remember him and stated that only by surrendering to the Satguru one can enter the state of knowledgeability by dis- carding the soot of the past births. Sri (Guru) Amardas Ji came to the shelter of Satguru Angad Dev Ji at Khadur Sahib in the age of 62 years. The daughter of Guru Angad Dev Ji, Bibi Amaro was the wife of the nephew of (Guru) Amardas Ji. Sri (Guru) Amardas Ji remained drenched in the ser- vice of Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji round the clock for 12 years and remained devoted to his remembrance. He used to bring water from Biasa river for the bath of Satguru Ji daily at pre-dawn, may it be raining profusely or may a storm be there. Besides he used to serve Langar, wash the utencils and sweep the floors. Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji was very happy with his service, simplicity, remembrance and disciplined life and considered him able for the seat of the lord. 5 On Chet Sudi 4, Samvat 1609 (29 March, 1552 A.D) Sri Satguru Angad Dev Ji put five paise and a coconut there and bowed his head of Guriai to Sri Satguru Amardas Ji and got the mark of Guriai on his forehead from Baba Budha Ji. Sri Satguru Angad Dev Ji mingled with the Supreme Soul at Khadur Sahib (district Amritsar) in the age of 48 years on Chet Sudi 4, Samvat 1609 (29 March 1552 A.D). 6 Sri Satguru Amardas Ji Luminance : Vaisakh Sudi 14, Samvat 1536 (5 May, 1479).

Mingled with the Supreme Soul : 2 Assu (Bhadon Sudi 15) Samvat 1631 (1 September 1574 A.D.) at Goindwal in the age of 95years.
