Sad part is not that he died. Death ot eternal. 

The sad parts are

1. They didn't let his funeral happen in Amritsar. Then when his family took him to verka ( his pind) they didn't let it happen there too... Then it was some third place out of the pind that they carried on his funeral. 

2. He wasn't given proper treatment. U can feel the pain in his voice. 

3. One of his jodidaar is still in hospital and yesterday he also confirmed that Punjab Govt. is Not providing any proper medical treatment to any patient. 

 

Its really sad that the stress of being there killed bhai sahib quicker than the virus itself which is shocking as he went to attend late bhai balbir singh bhog when he likely caught the virus.

Really sad to hear this news today as he was one of the best raagis

Padma Shri awardee Bhai Nirmal Singh dies after testing positive for Covid-19

Bhai Nirmal Singh Khalsa, 67, a Padma Shri awardee and a former hazoori ragi (Gurbani exponent) at Golden Temple, passed away after a heart attack at 4.30am on Thursday, a day after he was diagnosed with coronavirus disease (Covid-19).

Amritsar civil surgeon Dr Prabhdeep Kaur Johal said he was put on ventilator on Wednesday night after his condition worsened due to his bronchial asthma.

With his death, the toll due to Covid-19 in Punjab has risen to six.

Bhai Nirmal Singh was referred to Guru Nanak Dev Hospital (GNDH) from the local Shri Guru Ram Das Hospital on March 30 after he complained of breathlessness.

“He visited England in November. A health department team visited his house on March 3 after we got the information that two guests – his uncle and aunt – from the US visited him. They were found asymptomatic. When the home quarantine period of the guests was over on March 17, they were found asymptomatic. Bhai Nirmal Singh then went to Chandigarh for a kirtan samagam on March 19 where over 100 people gathered,” Dr Johal said.

“He tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday. He may have caught the infection during his trip to Chandigarh. He died of sudden cardiac arrest on Thursday,” she said.

You know what would be good, is if we had a forum where the visitors had a big hand in shaping the content. Like what are the majority of young apnay interested in?  

Thats a really good idea veer ji and hopefuly this site will get more followers plus help understand the youth needs of today.

maybe he feeds billee jee jhatka?

Lol it was non jhatka as i saw it from a packet the meat food given to the cat.

so what if the panj pyararay sewak practises jhatka maryada but then got to a place where meat is served??????

Veer ji that is a very good question because its hard to work out as its not written on anyones face who practises jhatka and doesn't as nobody is a mahapursh with antarjamat.

Secondly if they the member does do jathka then he shouldn't being going to places which serve meat sharaab etc. As i have seen 2 people who serve as panj pyare that went to a party with meat sharaab and the gurdwara commitee where all drinking alcohol and eating meat apart from those 2 guys. 3rd guy kept a cat in his house feeding it meat.

Here i a mention i found today on this sibject

Nai veerji, i only did it for 3 weeks back in 2016.  Thats the reason I started sehaj path of Dasam bani so I can cover all banis atleast once every 4-6 months.   

Veer ji thats is a long time now since you last read Chandi Chirtar 2 in sehaj paath form. It is easier for you veer ji as you can read it in punjabi script so doing a sehaj paath is really good. 3 weeks is a good time as you did have a connection with the paath as it was a sehaj paath with doing 1,2 angs a day which does help cover all of the banis in the Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji.

First time i read back in oct 2018 took me 4 days using a 66 mins mp3 as it was really hard getting a good paathi for the bani as i didn't understand nearly any of it in the start.

Been putting it off for too long, I must try again. Romanized version of Gurbani sounds different when I compare it to videos of paath on youtube.

Its not even that its roman english is not the true form of gurbani to be read due to the mistakes. I have put it off too long as well now so i am hoping to get back to it soon.

I read it few times many years ago like 10 years. Wow such a long time.  But since you reopened this thread , I am doing one page from Gutka Sahib everyday after Rehraas Sahib now. I hope by mentioning it here I dont get haumai and my Nitnem does not get broken. Lol. If it does then its a sign from Guru ji to stay quiet , lets see. Thanks veer for reminding about this. Its a very long baani so I will finish reading in few days.

Veer ji you are right it is such a long time its amazing how time flies. I thought that i felt like a long time myself as it was just over 18 months that it was the first time that i had read it. Its really good veer ji to do just a page a day as i had spent 9 days with 3 days break so in total it was 12 days then lol. But Guru Sahib Ji will do kirpa as a page compared to a full paath of is way relaxed as it has 17 chapters Sri Akal Ustat. The 2 i found easy was the Deenan Ki Pritpal Kare and Surwag Sudh Smooh as they come panj bani nitnem just the other 15 were hard as it was my first attempt at the time.

Learning to read in Punjabi will make me feel a hell of alot better especially as dass like mahapurshs jeevan books which is best to be enjoyed in punjabi as a lot of the english translated books don't have the same ras flow compared to hearing it in punjabi the original texts.

All of these new youtube english speakers like Nanak Naam Bhai Satpal Singh make me fall asleep less than a minute as its not a language english i can connect to.

you definitely should, it will change your whole perspective.

The more you learn gurmukhi, the more you will see how illogical and unedcuated the way spellings are done for English language, they don't even make full use of the resources of symbols and characters to spell, that's how dumbed down and unintelligible it is!

100% correct veer ji all the banis in roman english i have seen they have so many mistakes and i have to underline a lot of lines when i use the audio tracks to learn and do the paath of the banis in english.

Its a wreck what they have done especially on the blue sundar gutka app especially with dasam banis which is wrong.

@dalsingh101thanks veer ji for posting the valuable information and i hope it will help me and others who want to learn punjabi.
