  • 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.

  • The Age of Empire: British Imperialism and the Transformation of The
    ETH ZÜRICH / D-GESS HISTORY OF THE MODERN WORLD FS 2015 VL The Making of a World Religion: Introduction to the History of Sikhs and Sikhism (c. 1500-2000) Nihang-Sikhs during a religious ceremony, c. 1980. TIME: THURSDAY 15:15-16:45 (19.02.; 05.03.; 19.03.; 02.04.; 23.04.; 07.05.; 28.05.) PLACE: IFW D 42 INSTRUCTOR OF RECORDS: Prof. Dr. Harald Fischer-Tiné ABSTRACT The primary aim of this course is to enhance the cultural sensitivity of the participants by introducing them to the richly diverse cultural and religious landscape of the Indian sub- continent while at the same time pointing to similarities and commonalities with more familiar western settings. Steering clear of exoticism or rigid cultural relativism, the course is designed to make students reflect on the interrelations between religion and politics and the processes of homogenisation and exclusion that go in tandem with religious commu- nity building. It provides a history of the Sikh religion that emerged as a distinct religious tradition between the early 16th and late 19th century in the north Indian Punjab and is now widely accepted as a “world religion”. This exemplary case study is used to illustrate a broader phenomenon, namely the kind of transformations religious communities undergo when faced with the challenges of modernity. The first part of the course offers a glimpse of the theology and liturgy of Sikhism, and explains why this particular Indian faith that was long perceived as part of Hinduism. The following sessions put the historical develop- ment of a religiously distinct Sikh community under scrutiny — from the days of founder Guru Nanak in the 15th to the multifaceted effects of the global migration of Sikhs in the 20th century and the rise of Sikh separatist terrorism in the 1980 and 90s.

  • Sikhiska Traditionsbärare I Moderniseringsprocessen
    © Författaren och CTR, Lunds universitet De blåklädda helgonkrigarna: Sikhiska traditionsbärare i moderniseringsprocessen Kristina Myrvold, doktorand i religionshistoria. Nihang är sikhismens blåklädda helgonkrigare. I legenden bär de tunga svärd, som de modigt och elegant svingar mot orättvisa och förtryck. Det heroiska ide- al nihang representerar, har inte bara präglat den sikhiska traditionen utan fort- sätter att färga punjabisk litteratur, film och musik. Under senare år har nihangsikherna börjat begagna de nya möjligheter ett modernt och globalt samhälle medför. Från att ha varit en lokal kommunitet i Punjab, har nihang blivit en global företeelse. Idag presenterar de sin tradition och kultur genom hemsidor på Internet, och över stora delar av världen utövas deras svärdskonst som en kampsport. I det följande ämnar jag visa, att myten om nihangsikherna och deras tradition inte försvinner med en moderniseringsprocess, utan kan istället rekonstrueras och användas av dem själva för att legitimera nutida anspråk på större religiöst och politiskt utrymme inom en modern sikhism. Gudsfruktande alligatorer I jämförelse med andra religioner på den indiska subkontinenten, är den sikhiska traditionen relativt ensam med att ideologiskt sanktionera våld om syftet är att gå emot förtryck och orättvisor. Den ideala sikhen, man som kvinna, framställs ofta vara en gudsfruktande och sanningssökande människa, som samtidigt inne- har krigarens egenskaper. Nihangsikherna får ofta personifiera detta ideal och kallas akali nihang. Medan begreppet nihang spåras till persiskan med betydel- sen »alligator», står akali för en person hängiven det odödliga, det vill säga det gudomliga. Med sin traditionella uniform, symboler, levnadsstil och specifika vapenkonst är nihangsikherna mytomspunna, men magert granskade i mer ve- © Författaren och CTR, Lunds universitet 1 © Författaren och CTR, Lunds universitet tenskapliga studier.

  • Harish Ji Mata Sahib Kaur Girls Hostel
    MATASAHIBKAUR TheMotherOfTheKhaisa Mata Sahib Kaur Girls' Hostel 2019-20 A large number of girl students from outside Delhi even from smaller towns aspire to have access to education in the capital and Delhi University is replete with examples of young and enterprising women who have made a mark in the society. Seeing this, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce has decided to develop hostel facilities for the girl students in the name of Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. The hostel is located inside the college campus. With 42 rooms, it can accommodate the 126 undergraduate girl students of the college. Mata Sahib Kaur is wife of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. She is proclaimed to be the Mother of the Khalsa. The Khalsa was declared to be the sons and daughters of Guru Gobind Singh and Mata Sahib Kaur. She was epitome of qualities of humility and sacrifice having a complete faith in Almighty. She mixed sugary balls into Amrit that was been administered to the Sangat signifying that strength must be mingled with accompanying sweetness. After the battle of Anandpur Sahib when the entire family of Guru Gobind Singh was separated, Mata Sahib Kaur accompanied Guru Gobind Singh to Delhi and thereafter to Nanded. When Guru Gobind Singh realized that the time has come when He was to leave for the heavenly abode, Mata Sahib Kaur was told by him to leave the place and join Mata Sundari in Delhi. Guru Gobind Singh handed to Mata Sahib Kaur five weapons and his Insignia through which 9 Hukamnamas (Letter of Command) was issued for the Khalsa.

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.

  • Greater Flamingo Phoenicopterus Roseus, Siberian Rubythroat Calliope
    Correspondence 193 Four additions to the avifauna of Himachal Pradesh: plumage almost disappeared and they became all white, except Greater Flamingo Phoenicopterus roseus, Siberian for the flight feathers and bare parts. There was a hint of pink on Rubythroat Calliope calliope, Rufous Woodpecker their mantles and backs. The last sighting of these two individuals Micropternus brachyurus, and Great Hornbill was on 09 April 2017, by CA [203]. There was no further sighting Buceros bicornis of this species in subsequent winters. Himachal Pradesh is rich in avifauna. More than half of the total species of birds found in India have been reported from the state (Praveen et al. 2020; Dhadwal 2019). CA has been extensively exploring Pong Lake (also known as Maharana Pratap Sagar), a designated Ramsar Site.
