  • Of Our 10Th Master - Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj
    TODAY, 25th December 2017 marks the Parkash (coming into the world) of our 10th master - Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. By dedicating just 5 minutes per day over 4 days you will be able to experience this saakhi (historical account) as narrated by Bhai Vishal Singh Ji from Kavi Santokh Singh Ji’s Gurpartap Suraj Granth. Please take the time to read it and immerse yourselves in our rich and beautiful history, Please share as widely as possible so we can all remember our king of kings Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji on this day. Let's not let today pass for Sikhs as just being Christmas! Please forgive us for any mistakes. *Some background information…* When we talk about the coming into this world of a Guru Sahib, we avoid using the word ‘birth’ for anything that is born must also die one day. However, *Satgur mera sada sada* The true Guru is forever and ever (Dhan Guru Ramdaas Ji Maharaj, Ang 758) Thus, when we talk about the coming into the world of Guru Sahibs we use words such as Parkash or Avtar. This is because Maharaj are forever present and on this day They simply became known/visible to us. Similarly, on the day that Guru Sahib leave their physical form, we do not use the word death because although Maharaj gave up their human form, they have not left us. Their jot (light) was passed onto the next Guru Sahib and now resides within Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. So, you will often hear people say “Maharaj Joti Jot smaa gai” meaning that their light merged back into the light of Vaheguru.

  • A Sikh-Inspired Vision for Learning
    A Sikh‐inspired vision for learning: the discursive production of an ethos by members of the GNNET education trust By Gopinder Kaur Sagoo MRes Dissertation School of Education University of Birmingham June 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This qualitative case study considers the formation of a vision for learning by members of a Sikh education trust called GNNET, established in the Midlands, UK, in 2001. Four participant interviews are analysed to build a picture of the meanings, values and life experiences which underpin their endeavours to articulate an ethos. These bring together a range of understandings, personal stances and communicative repertoires, generating common themes as well as highlighting distinct approaches and orientations. Sikh identity pertains to a shared religion, ethnicity and culture, originating five centuries ago in the Punjab region of northern India. This tends to be researched as a subject of study rather than a basis for exploring approaches to learning itself. Associated with the Punjabi words sikhna (‘to learn’) and sikhya (‘learning’), the tradition is rich in educational concepts, arising from its sacred text and resulting discourses and practices passed down through oral tradition.

It promotes the dynamic connections between gender and sexuality across a diverse range of religious and spiritual lives, cultures, histories, and geographical locations, as well as contemporary discourses around secularism and non-religion. The series publishes cutting-edge research that considers religious experiences, communities, institutions, and discourses in global and transnational contexts, and examines the fluid and intersecting features of identity and social positioning. Using theoretical and methodological approaches from inter/transdisciplinary perspectives, Bloomsbury Studies in Religion, Gender, and Sexuality addresses the neglect of religious studies perspectives in gender, queer, and feminist studies, and offers a space in which gender-critical approaches to religions engage with questions of intersectionality, particularly with respect to critical race, disability, post-colonial and decolonial theories. 9781350041752_txt_final.indd 2 24-09-2019 21:23:27 Beyond Religion in India and Pakistan Gender and Caste, Borders and Boundaries Virinder S.

  • Hindi – English GCH – London - 2002
    MMuurrllii GGlloossssaarryy Hindi – English GCH – London - 2002 Introduction The words contained within this glossary have been compiled from both the Sakar and Avyakt Murlis. Although some are commonplace in spoken Hindi and can be found in a standard Hindi-English dictionary some of the translation may differ slightly. This is to reflect the exact meaning Baba is portraying in the Murli. There are three columns, the left-hand one is phonetic Hindi, the middle one is the Hindi Devanagari script and the right-hand column is the English translation. When reading the glossary, the phonetic Hindi has been compiled as accurately as possible to reflect the Devanagari script. It is to aid accurate reading of the Devanagari script and to help with pronunciation and articulation of the words. It cannot however, in some cases provide perfect pronunciation. Those students wishing to perfect the pronunciation will have to learn the Devangari script. Postpositions, prepositions, other tenses and aspects of grammar will also have to be learnt. The glossary is for use by anyone whether a native speaker of Hindi, a speaker of any of the other spoken Indian languages or a speaker of a foreign language. It is ideally suited for those students who wish to study the Murli directly in Hindi. Due to the quantity of words used it has not been possible to incorporate all the words used in the Murlis, however the majority of words are fairly common and are frequently read within the Murlis. At the back of the glossary there are some regular phrases that Baba uses.

  • A Message to Sikh Youth
    A MESSAGE TO THE SIKH YOUTH ON VASAKHI Today we are more lost than ever from the teachings of our Guru, we are forgetting Guru Gobind Singh’s words; Rehit Binaa Neh Sikh Kehavai, Rehit Binaa Dar Chotaa Khhaavai This means that: Without the Rehat (the code of conduct) he should not be called a Sikh. Without the Rehat, the doors are closed in his face. Guru has told us than when we follow his words, he will bless us, but when we slacken in our faith and discipline Guru Ji does not shower us with his blessings. We forget Guru Ji’s own words “Rehat is more important to me than a Sikh”. Why is this? Guru Ji has 25 million Sikhs worldwide. He does not need any more. What Guru Ji loves is the Singh or Singhnee who follows Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s words; “If you desire to play this game of love with me, then step onto My Path with your head in your hand. When you place your feet on this Path, give me your head, and do not pay any attention to public opinion.” One who is steadfast in his faith in the Guru and all of the Gurus teachings is a Gursikh, not one who decides which parts of Sikhi he or she wants to follow, deciding which parts of the divinely inspired Sikhi are appropriate and which parts aren’t. If the human wishes to be liberated in this lifetime then the path he or she follows is full of pitfalls. In Gurbani the path is described as “as sharp as the edge of a sword and as thin as a hair”.

  • Dhan Dhan Sahib Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj
    PAVITAR SHAHEEDI SAKI OF DHAN DHAN SAHIB SRI GURU ARJAN DEV JI MAHARAJ The saakhi that follows is of the Shaheedi of our fifth master - Dhan Sahib Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaaj, Shaheedan de Sirtaaj (Master of martyrs)! To listen to the entire katha of Their shaheedi (as written by Kavi Santokh Singh Ji in Gurpartaap Suraj Granth) would take 10 -12 hours. We urge you to invest the time if you can as it is absolutely beautifully shared by Bhai Vishal Singh Ji. (Source: Youtube - Bhai Vishal Singh Ji - Shaheedi Guru Arjan Dev Sahib Ji - Parts 1-12) Alternatively, please take the time to read and share this saakhi and immerse yourselves in our rich and beautiful history. ___________________________________________________________________ ਧਨ ਧਨ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਅਰਜਨ ਦੇਵ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਮਾਹਾਰਾਜ **Dhan Guru Arjan Dev Sahib Ji's Shaheedi Saka - PART 1** There were many reasons for Guru Arjan Dev Sahib Ji’s shaheedi (martyrdom). However Kavi Santokh Singh Ji, when writing this saakhi in Gurpartaap Sooraj Parkash Granth, starts the shaheedi sakha from Chandu, an influential person in Mughul Emperor Jahangeer’s court, a very wealthy man owning multiple homes in multiple cities, who was full to the brim with attitude and hankaar (ego). Chandu had one daughter 'Sada' and one son 'Ratan Chand'. When his daughter was 7 years old Chandu wanted to find a good marriage partner for her. As was customary in those times, Chandu called the local Brahmin and said to him "I would like you to find a good match for my daughter.

    Spiritual Strength of Women: 01/11/01 Six-part Series [First Edition] Page 1 Spiritual Strength Of WOMEN: Six-part series [First edition] Produced and Distributed by the Grace of Waheguru Sewa by Mandeep Singh Be the Best, a Kaur Princess! A Brave Lioness, with Pure Success!! Spiritual Strength of Women: 01/11/01 Six-part Series [First Edition] Page 2 INTRODUCTION A warm welcome given to our esteemed readers to the first series of the ‘Spiritual Strength Of Women’, which was exhausted within 6 weeks of its release and is a great joy and encouragement to me. This is clear proof of the fact that the lovers of Sikhi yearn to know its history and follow its tradition. In this series, an attempt has been made to compile a few short stories together of Sikh women from our history who left shining examples of the great Spiritual Strength derived from Satguru jee. Sikh history conveyed to us by our Gurus and ancestors must be told to the entire world. Hundreds of thousands of noble Sikhs and martyrs need to be acknowledged. I have ventured to humbly submit just a few of these that have been used in this series. Summaries of the stories are as follows: The first part is about the courage shown by one lady to enter Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), knowing that she will never come out of the complex alive. Her conversation between the two guards trying to dissuade her form entering and her astounding responses are something to really think about for ourselves. The second is about how one woman and her tender-aged young son who take on five armed Turk soldiers who were lead to their hideout by a Hindu Pundit who betrayed the mother and son.
