Yeah I found this out a few years ago Veere. My great-grandad never used to charge for his services. I've also heard that when one uses Gurbani to cure anothers illness etc they take on the rog themselves. Any idea why this would occur?

Thanks for this bro. And I am staying away from these things, some scary sh1te lol, I just wanted to shed some light on what exactly he used to do. So would what he practised be consider kala jadu? I'm not certain but aren't there sort of like Avtars for specific Ridhi Sidhi e.g some Naag deity? It's also very interesting that you mention that they do not marry as he got married rather late in life to the widow of his cousin and subsequently had only one child (my Dadi). Plus in the old days one would rarely marry so late. Here I was thnking he was channeling the glorious Devi Devte. Forgive my ignorance in the matter Veera, I know nothing about this particular subject.

Thanks for your reply bro. I'm aware of the Mantars from Gurbani which can cure diseases from Sharda Puran Granth etc. Tbh I don't think they were from Gurbani due to the secrecy. Do you have any idea where else they could be from? And what is the significance of these locations?

I recall being told that my great-grandfather had some, what we would call supernatural, abilities. Apparently he could cure dog bites, scorpion bites and possibly snake bites too. He did this all with secret Mantars recited under his breath along with some physical actions using various samagari. These Mantars were never revealed and neither were their origin. Albeit children were told one had to go to the Shamshaan grounds at night to learn them, probably to sh1t them up. And no this wasn't black magic or jadu toona. I guess it would be classed as some kind of Ridhi Sidhi as it was used for the seva of the community. After constantly questioning my elders I found out that this practise was more widespread in the days of old. Most of the “treatments” I speak of were mainly for health related issues, anything from a tooth ache to the venomous scorpion bites mentioned above. Although, it wasn’t unheard of for people to have various other powerful Mantars such as those used to control fire and the flow of water etc. As a youngster I was very curious and still am about this secret held by our Bazurg. As I got older I eventually concluded that these Mantars were most likely Sanatan in origin, given that various Devi Devte are attributed to specific protections. Now before people start saying this had no place in Gurmat blah blah, understand I’m merely wanting to comprehend this in a historical and theological context. I have no interest in learning any Mantars and becoming a healer. The point of my thread is to find out the origin of them and which if any, individual Devi Devte are associated with them along with any sakhis. Any discussion and feedback is welcome!

"How far would you go to stand up for human rights? In India, on the 16th January 2015 an 83yr old lifelong political activist went on hunger strike to force the Indian Government to free several political prisoners. He has now been hungry for over 500 days... Some continue to be detained long beyond completion of their sentence. Some have been tortured and falsely imprisoned. Others are arrested and just seem to disappear... This is the story of Surat Singh Khalsa, and his Hunger for Humanity."
