Vaah Bhai Sikha! dhanvaad.

literal embelishment or figurative speech!!!!

Looks good. what does alankar mean?

Added today a book by Giani Preetam Singh Ji Damdami Taksal Walae called 'Alankar'. These are actually the writings of Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji Bhindrawalae which many poeple have been after for some time. Belive me this is well worth taking your time out and reading.

Seminar finished. The title was the 'bahupakhi den' of the Nirmale and many pakhis were considered. Maha seva of Sriman 108 Sant Jodh Singh Ji of Nirmal Ashram and Sriman 108 Mahant Balwant Singh Ji Secretary of Panchayti Akhara Nirmala and pradhan of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad. Many many mahapurush were there who gave wonderful lectures. Very pleased to hear the highly learned pravachans of Sant Darshan Singh Ji Shastri Kashi vale, Sant Jasvinder Singh Ji Shastri and Sant Jail Singh Ji Shasrti, all three part of a new generation of Nirmale. Gyani Sher SIngh Ji Ambale spoke very well about the need for Nirmale to teach the pracharaks in punjab advaitavad (the topic of my paper) in order to combat the prachar of sikh missionary vale. Very impressed with Mahamandaleshvar Mahant Surinder Muni Ji Udasin and the way he spoke about Sant mahapurush generally. My guru Sant Sher SIngh Ji Patiala vale spoke on the origin of the Nirmal Panth which caused small stirs of controversy on the issue of locating the relative place of the Nirmal Panth. Sant Balwant Singh Kotha Guru Ji spoke wonderfully on Gyani Gyan Singh Ji and others. Mahant Amrik Singh Ji spoke on the very interesting topic of the ayurvedic tradition among Nirmale. The full paper should make for very interesting reading. Jathedar Trilochan Singh Ji announced that the recent hukamnama from Akal Takhat about the importance of Udasin and Nirmale, that they are part of the Panth, etc will be printed in english, hindi and punjabi on the SGPC website imminently.

The papers submitted will be published as a book by Panchayti Akhara Nirmala...

Although nothing is set in stone yet, following my paper and at the request of Sriman Sant Jodh Singh Ji, Sriman Bhekh Bhushan Sri Mahant Ji and Secretary Sahib it was announced before the khat darshani sadhu samaj that I will on behalf of and with the support of Panchayti Akhara Nirmala be arranging and holding the first seminar on the Nirmal Sampradaya in London next year! No info yet on who will be attending from over here in Haridvar. Kam expect an incoming pm requesting your seva!!!

In case anyone is interested Sriman Mahant Bhagvant Bhajan Singh Ji will be holding another seminar at Guru Nanak University on the Nirmala Sampradaya and Baba Buddha Ji on the 14th of February (I think).

A bit of shameless advertising in case anyone is floating around India at the moment, (pm me as its invitation only I think):

Through the collaboration of Sriman Sant Jodh Singh Ji of Nirmal Ashram Rishikesh and Sriman Mahant Balwant Singh Ji Secretary the Sri Panchayti Akhara Nirmala will be holding a two day seminar on the Nirmala Sampradaya in Kankhal on the 6th and 7th of December. Papers will be given by a number of Sants, Mahants and scholars.

Shabad Kirtan by Sriman Sant Pritam Singh Ji Dumelivale and others

All papers are to be collated and published by Nirmal Panchayti Akhara afterwards

Because they've only just been printed I'm reluctant, particularly the guru nanak dev university publication which is readily available. I'll try to upload part of mrityuchah pradipika which will be hard to get hold of although be aware its in devanagri not gurmukhi.

While I was in Haridvar I got given a couple of nice new books.

One is the June-December 2009 edition of Sri Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Nanak Prakash Patrika journal which is solely dedicated to the Nirmala Sampradaya. Lots of very interesting essays submitted at the seminar that was held there including ones by Mahant Balwant Singh Ji Secretary, Sant Darshan Singh Ji Shastri and Sant Jail Singh Ji Shastri.

The other book I was given is Mrityuchinah Pradipika (Bhasha Tika) by Pandit Deva Singh Ji Vedantacharya written in devanagri back in the early 20th century. Its just been published by Mahant Darshan Singh Tyagmurti Ji of Devapura Ashram and Sant Jodh Singh Ji Nirmal Ashram.
