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. -

P. Singh Centre for Understanding Sikhism # 4-215, M.V. Blvd., Mississauga, L5A 1Y7, ON, Canada Abstract Various religious philosophies the world over, although differ in many details, yet they all emphasize the basic unity of the universe, through the recognition of panch tattva as the basis of creation. Most of these philosophies agree that a continuous exchange between these basic elements life and the creation, helps to balance the ever ongoing cycles of creation and destruction. The existence of panch tattva, with their extraordinary qualities, makes us aware of the unity and mutual interrelation of all things. They help us to transcend the notion of an isolated individual self and to identify ourselves with the ultimate reality. In this article on panch tattva, a perspective from Sri Guru Granth Sahib is outlined Introduction Ancient Greek and Indian philosophy describes four classical elements of creation and life. These elements are named as earth, water, air and fire. Empedocles (ca. 490–430 BC) called these the four “roots”. Plato (424 BC – 348 BC), was first to use the term “element” in reference to air, fire, earth, and water [1]. -
