Questions for Baba Jagjit Singh ji Harkhowal

[shaheediyan]

Few more questions, or rather would like to know Baba ji's opinions:

Some kathha on Baba Vadbhag Singh Ji and the establishment and use of their dera as a hospital of for healing the possessed and whether it serves a role in the Panth.

Kathha on Brahm Kavach (contents), it's presence in Bhai Maharaj Singhs pothi, mention in Nihang tradition re Guru Hargobind tradition and mention in Sri Dasam Granth Sahib - it's role in Sikhi.

Dhanvaad.

Here is the 6th audio segment of discussion with baba ji:

Questions

- is there any difference between advait vedant and gurmat? some people say advait vedant is against prema bhagti towards vahiguroo because its upasana of one atma. Is Aham Bhramasami maha vak according to gurmat? any gurbani reference support this school of thought?

- If other dharamis, person can get to bedah mukht avastha or get to sachkhand, what was point of sri guru nanak dev ji bringing gursikhi and forming khalsa panth tisra panth?

- Various avtars existed before in pichale yugs ie- vasudev, ram chandar ji, krishan maharaj, sri guru nanak dev ji was pargat in kalyug. If gurbani accepts all the previous avtars and their panth being valid, therefore any premi who follows their mat fully can get mukhti doesnt this make sikhi snatan dharam like shaivism instead of tisra panth? what is it mean when sri guru gobind singh ji himself said in bachitar natak. Sri Akaal Purkh sent me to this world to create the panth?

- Gurbani existed before Guru Nanak, that means Gurmukhs existed before Guru Nanak, they are not his creation. Does that mean Sikhi gurmat marg is another samparda like Shaivism? and continuation of Sanathan Dharama (Eternal law from beginning)?

- Usually in sakhiya there is a sakhi of baba sri chand maharaj/Lakhmi Chand did not listen to sri guru nanak dev ji patsah hakums? and still got bhramgyan, does that mean bhramgyan is attainable outside sri guru nanak dev ji sikhi marg?

- When this jev get darshan of sargun guru maharaj saroop, after the darshan does that mean they get bedah mukht avastha?

- - can sikhs listen to sufi qwali which are sung in memory of allah or murshids?

- - The benefit (or not) of Akhand Paath culture - where 99% of those who pay for them to be done, turn up to to the start and the bhog, and think they will in someway be blessed. Does baba Ji feel that Sehaj Paath or Sudhaaran Paath is more beneifical to the parvaar and sangat as they can actually sit down and listen to it all?

- Can we do sargun dhiyan of sri guru nanak dev ji saroop? some people call this as baut pooja?

I hope everyone enjoy listening to baba jagjit singh vichar on these questions, these audio files have no copyright, any premis who wishes to put them on their site, surely can. As Gurbani say- bhramgyani di drisht amrit barsi || similiarly these veechar is one form of rain of amrit reaches out to everyone with no dvaish.

Personally speaking for me it has been extreme pleasure talking to sant jagjit singh ji, their bachans surely calm my heart/mind from all this burning irkha/dvaish bhavna... it has been pure anandmangal...!

[samosasingh]

"If we do ardass for someone's rakhya, to help someone deal with illness etc., does it put the weight on our heads? Does it eat up our Naam kamai?"

Doesn't seem the above question was answered or maybe the recording was cut -off at the end - What was the answer given????

[Xylitol]

he said if we ask Guru Nanak to do it, than no, it's fine. No weight on our heads. It's up to the Guru whether or not to do it but it doesn't come out of our kamai. If we do it ourselves than it will eat up some of our kamai.

[NoorKaur]

omg did they answer the question on whether sikh women should be given khande da amrit??

[Xylitol]

i don't know if he answered the question. But he does believe women should be given khanda da amrit.

[valli singh]

,

[Matheen]

I heard their katha last night from Malton. They spoke of the unique nature of Guru Granth Sahib Ji when compared to other scriptures, and the difference between Guru Sahib and previous prophets/avtars etc. It was interesting to hear them mention the difference between 'sanatani mat' and Gurmat.

Hopefully the recordings will be up soon.

[Malwe Da Sher]

[gsingh00]

neo, i dont know if you are going to meet baba jagjit singh again or be able to record anything, but if you do, i have one question...

i heard in katha that in order to listen to bani 5 birthis must be controlled - pramaan, uparjae, nindra, sankalp and simritee

can you ask baba jagjit singh what these birthis are, and how they relate to listening (as per jap ji sahibs 4 pauris...suniai; sidh peer sur naath...)

[SAadmin]

Singh i won't be able to meet him now since he flew out to vancouver this afternoon. But we have member of this forum- Xylitol who is from west, in the past he has also asked questions to baba ji and recorded.

If Xylitol meets baba ji, i m sure he can ask your question too.

Questions and Answers with Sant Jagjit Singh Ji Harkhowale April 2009 Visit to Canada

[fatehsingh1]

I actually listened to part 3 with regards to how Bhai Sahib would do vichaar of 'Shabad Guru Surat Dhun Chela'. Very happy to hear his viakhia of what Shabad and Surat means. He is truly a gem keeping the spirit of knowledge and Gurbani alive there in the mainstream panth. Similar viakhia was available on Kalghidar Trust society's website years back before it was changed to the propaganda mode (Shabad means Bani and Surat means Guru Nanak: Worship Shabad not Guru Nanak!) that's on there these days.

Also his advice to those who get beaten up by goras is perhaps unexpected for the gangsta tbt goodsikhs but it does make more sense compared to the crap spewed on the net by the 'soljas' of the panth. Thumbs up for this great seva N30.

[Malwe Da Sher]

Cheers neo

[shaheediyan]

Thanks Valli Singh, just as I thought.

Thanks for the great seva N30 re Baba ji, website also looks and works much better, thanks for creating a more easily accessible Gurmat Sangeet section!

Khalsa Panth nu Singhan de janam din diyan beant 'belated' vadaiyan...

[dhan96Crore]

Adding to what valli singh said about baba Vadbhag Singh, he was a pooran mahapursh blessed with a certain duty within the khalsa panth.

As baba Santa Singh also said that baba Vadbhag Singh was a full shastardhari, tyaar bar tyaar Singh Soorma, including carrying various shastar with him and chakars on his dastaar etc.

Now his followers well thats a different story, but lets make no mistake baba Vadbhag Singh was a mahapursh and tyaar bar tyaar Singh.

When baba ji with the Khalsa were fighting the malesh in the afghans, he really drove them back towards where they came from. The malesh did beadbi of a Gurdwara Sahib by burning it down, baba ji found out and took the dal with him where he defeated the malesh, then he found the ones who did the beadbi, the Khalsa then asked baba ji: 'what should be done to these paapis?' baba ji replied 'exactly the same should be done to them of what they did to the darbaar sahib'. Baba ji gave the hukum to the singh's to set them on fire while they were alive, badla was taken.

Dhan Khalsa Panth.

[valli singh]

[dhan96Crore]

Thanks 96Crore ji,

I never knew Jathedar Baba Santa Singh ji mentioned Baba Vadbhag Singh ji,

do you know which katha he said it in or if he said anything else about Baba Vadbhag Singh ji?

I have always wondered if Baba Vadbhag Singh ji would be considered a Nihang or Buddha Dal fauj

because he was baptized by Jathedar Jassa Singh Alhuwalia himself,

SGPC released a booklet about Baba Vadbhag Singh ji in the 1950's or 60's saying that he was a

great saint of the Khalsa Panth, which was interesting (don't know if it's still in print).

No problem Valli Singh,

He mentioned baba Vadbhag Singh in his glorious Panth Parkash Katha, which is available to download on the net, i cant remember which file it exactly was but it was before the 50th one as I have not gone past 50 yet.

I have read the janam sakhi of baba Vadbhag Singh ji's life, a very good read i must say.

Dhan Khalsa Panth.
