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.

  • Presently Published Dasam Granth and British Connection; Guru Granth Sahib As the Only Sikh Canon
    Presently Published Dasam Granth and British Connection; Guru Granth Sahib as the only sikh canon (From www.GlobalSikhStudies.net) Jasbir Singh Mann M.D., California. The lineage of Personal Guruship was terminated ( Canon Closed) on October, 6th Wednesday1708 A.D. by the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, after finalizing the sanctification of Guru Nanak’s Mission and passing the succession to Guru Granth Sahib as future Guru of the Sikhs. This was the final culmination of the Sikh concept of Guruship, capable of resisting the temptation of continuation of the lineage of human Gurus. The Tenth Guru while maintaining the concept of ‘Shabad Guru’ also made the Panth distinctive by introducing corporate Guruship. The concept of Guruship continued and the role of human gurus was transferred to the Guru Panth and that of the revealed word to Guru Granth Sahib making Sikhism a unique modern religion. This historical fact is well documented in Indian, Persian and Western Sikh sources of 18th century. Indian sources: Sainapat (1711), Bhai Nand Lal, Bhai Prahlad, and Chaupa Singh, Koer Singh (1751), Kesar Singh Chhibber (1769-1779Ad), Mehama Prakash (1776), Munshi Sant Singh ( on account of Bedi family of the Ulna, Unpublished records), Bhatt Vahi’s. Persian sources: Mirza Muhammad (1705-1719 AD), Sayad Muhammad Qasim (1722 AD), Hussain Lahauri(1731), Royal Court News of Mughals, Akhbarat-i-Darbar-i-Mualla (1708). Western sources: Father Wendel, Charles Wilkins, Crauford, James Browne, George Forester, and John Griffith. These sources clearly emphasize the tenets of Nanak as enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib as the only promulgated scripture of the Sikhs.

  • Where Are the Women? the Representation of Gender in the Bhai Bala Janamsakhi Tradition and the Women's Oral Janamsakhi Tradition
    WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? THE REPRESENTATION OF GENDER IN THE BHAI BALA JANAMSAKHI TRADITION AND THE WOMEN'S ORAL JANAMSAKHI TRADITION by Ranbir Kaur Johal B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1997 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Asian Studies) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 2001 © Ranbir Kaur Johal, 2001 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Asia" SJ-ndUS The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract: The janamsakhis are a Sikh literary tradition, which consist of hagiographies concerning Guru Nanak's life and teachings. Although the janamsakhis are not reliable historical sources concerning the life of Guru Nanak, they are beneficial in imparting knowledge upon the time period in which they developed. The representation of women within these sakhis can give us an indication of the general views of women of the time. A lack of representation of women within the janamsakhi supports the argument that women have traditionally been assigned a subordinate role within patriarchal society.

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.

  • 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.

  • The Doctrinal Inconsistencies in Dasam Granth : in Relation to Avtarhood(Part I)
    The Doctrinal inconsistencies in Dasam Granth : In relation to Avtarhood(Part I) Prof.Gurnam Kaur* (A) Introduction:- This paper is concerned with the authenticity of the compositions included in the Dasam Granth or we can say with the doctrinal inconsistencies in the Dasam Granth in relation to the idea of avtarhood,i.e. incarnation of God in different forms human or any, devi pooja (worship of goddess) shastar as Pir i.e. to worship weapons as the highest spiritual person, bias against unshorn hair, supporting the use of intoxicants and bias against woman. To judge all these things we have to take the help of Sikh tenants and adopt some basic criterion or methodology because these days animated discussions are going on about the Dasam Granth. The text has already been analyzed by known scholars from the historical, religious and theological points of view. Being the student of Sikh philosophy, with due regards to the analysis already done, I will try to analyze the text in the light of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Sri Guru Granth Sahib is the basic and primary scripture of Sikh religion. No other scripture can be considered equal to it. This is the only Scripture in the history of the world religions which was compiled by its founder Gurus themselves. The fifth Guru Arjan Dev compiled the first recension and installed it at Harmander Sahib on Bhadon sudi. I, 1604 A.D. Bhai Gurdas was the first scribe and Baba Budha Ji was made the first Granthi. Guru Gobind Singh, the Tenth and last physical Guru, added the bani composed by Guru Teg Bahadur, the ninth Nanak Joti and bestowed 1 Guruship on the Granth before his final departure in samat 1765 from this mundane world.

The baptism ceremony is known as 'Amrit Chhakna". It is conducted. In a holy place, any place sanctified with the presence of Guru Granth Sahib, preferably a Gurdwara. The ceremony is conducted by five baptized Sikhs known as Singhs or Khalsa who must be observant of the Sikh religious discipline and the Sikh code of conduct A date and place is fixed for the baptismal ceremony and information to that effect is given in the local press. All the candidates interested in the initiation then formally apply for admission. The candidates are interviewed and if found worthy of initiation are called at the specified place at the fixed date and time. The formal ceremony is conducted in the following way: 1 Guru Granth Sahib is opened in the ceremonious way. One of the five Khalsas selected for the Amrit ceremony offers the formal prayer in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib which is followed by a random reading from the holy book. 2 The entrants join in the formal prayer and sit cross legged when the verse from Guru Granth Sahib is being read. Then they stand in front of the congregation (if there is any) and ask their permission for admission into the Khalsa brotherhood. The permission is normally given by means of the religious call-Bolay So Nihal Sat Sri Akal (Whosoever Would Speak Would Be Blessed-God Is The Supreme Truth).
