Her body is wasting away with the sorrow of separation. The beautiful song-bird sings, perched on the mango tree; but how can I endure the pain in the depths of my being? The bumble bee is buzzing around the flowering branches; but how can I survive? I am dying, O my mother! O Nanak, in Chét, peace is easily obtained, if the soul-bride obtains the Lord as her Husband, within the home of her own heart. ||5|| Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji : Guru Nanak Sahib Ji, Ang : 1107 mUl nwnkSwhI kYlMfr Mool Nanakshahi Calendar <> March – April cyq sMmq 552 2020 Chét AYqvwr sOmvwr mMglvwr vIrvwr bu`Dvwr Su`krvwr SnIvwr SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 14 Mar 1 15 Mar 16 Mar 17 Mar 18 Mar 19 Mar 20 Mar 21 Mar 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 22 Mar 23 Mar 24 Mar 25 Mar 26 Mar 27 Mar 28 Mar 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 29 Mar 30 Mar 31 Mar 1 Apr 2 Apr 3 Apr 4 Apr 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 5 Apr 6 Apr 7 Apr 8 Apr 9 Apr 10 Apr 11 Apr 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 12 Apr 13 Apr 30 31 6 cyq (19 March) joqI joq : pwiqSwhI 6 (Joti Jot : Paatshahi 6) 1 cyq (14 March) holw mh`lw | nwnkSwhI nvW swl | gurg`dI pwiqSwhI 7 12 cyq (25 March) ShIdI : BweI subyZ isMG jI Aqy BweI Swhbwz isMG jI (Holla Muhala | Nanakshahi New Year’s Day | Gurgaddi Paatshahi 7) (Martyrdom : Bhai Subegh Singh Ji & Bhai Shahbaaz Singh Ji) 2 cyq (15 March) id`lI Piqh : BweI Bgyl isMG jI 27 cyq (9 April) jnm idn : swihbzwdw juJwr isMG jI (Conquered Delhi : Bhai Bhagel Singh Ji) (Birthday : Sahibzada Jhujaar Singh Ji) vYswKu Blw swKw vys kry ] Dn dyKY hir duAwir Awvhu dieAw kry ] Gir Awau ipAwry duqr qwry quDu ibnu AFu n molo ] kImiq kaux kry quDu BwvW dyiK idKwvY Folo ] dUir n jwnw AMqir mwnw hir kw mhlu pCwnw ] nwnk vYswKIN pRBu pwvY suriq sbid mnu mwnw ]6] Vaisakhi is so pleasant; the branches blossom with new leaves. The soul-bride yearns to see the Lord at her door. Come, O Lord, and take pity on me! Please come home, O my Beloved; carry me across the treacherous world-ocean. Without You, I am not worth even a shell. Who can estimate my worth, if I am pleasing to You? I see You, and inspire others to see You, O my Love. I know that You are not far away; I believe that You are deep within me, and I realize Your Presence. O Nanak, finding God in Vaisakhi, the consciousness is filled with the Word of the Shabad, and the mind comes to believe. ||6|| Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji : Guru Nanak Sahib Ji, Ang : 1108 mUl nwnkSwhI kYlMfr Mool Nanakshahi Calendar <> April – May vYswK sMmq 552 2020 Vaisākh AYqvwr sOmvwr mMglvwr vIrvwr bu`Dvwr Su`krvwr SnIvwr SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 14 Apr 15 Apr 16 Apr 17 Apr 18 Apr 1 2 3 4 5 19 Apr 20 Apr 21 Apr 22 Apr 23 Apr 24 Apr 25 Apr 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 26 Apr 27 Apr 28 Apr 29 Apr 30 Apr 1 May 2 May 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 3 May 4 May 5 May 6 May 7 May 8 May 9 May 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 10 May 11 May 12 May 13 May 14 May 27 28 29 30 31 1 vYswK (14 April) pRkwS : pwiqSwhI 1 | Kwlsw swjnw idvs | vYswKI 5 vYswK (18 April) pRkwS : pwqSwhI 2 Aqy 9 (Parkash : Paatshahi 2 & 9) (Parkash : Paatshahi 1 | Khalsa Saajna Divas | Vaisakhi) 13 vYswK (26 April) jnm idn : Bgq PrId jI (Birthday : Bhagat Fareed Ji) 3 (16 April) : | : vYswK gurg`dI pwqSwhI 3 Aqy 9 jOqI jOq pwqSwhI 2 Aqy 8 19 vYswK (2 May) pRkwS : pwiqSwhI 5 (Parkash : Paatshahi 5) (Gurgaddi : Paatshahi 3 & 9 | Joti Jot : Paatshahi 2 & 8) mwhu jyTu Blw pRIqmu ikau ibsrY ] Ql qwpih sr Bwr sw Dn ibnau krY ] Dn ibnau krydI gux swrydI gux swrI pRB Bwvw ] swcY mhil rhY bYrwgI Awvx dyih q Awvw ] inmwxI inqwxI hir ibnu ikau pwvY suK mhlI ] nwnk jyiT jwxY iqsu jYsI krim imlY gux gihlI ]7] The month of Jéth is so sublime.
