    GurjantGnostic reacted to SunnySingh in I have heard sounds while I was asleep. PLEASE GUIDE FURTHER   
    Welcome Manav Jee,
    we must bear in our mind that, all souls are just as equal same rays from the One Light/Sun.
    According to where those rays fall upon(bodies), we say someone is a sikh, a hindu, a muslim or a christian.
    But when we go within, we all have that same refulgence, light of His Jot.
    Gurbani says: Sabh meh Jot, Jot hae soee. His Light permates in all as souls, and He Himself is the source of Supreme light.
    So, it does not matter if one is a sikh, a hindu or be it anyone, yet if one concentrates and goes within by His grace, we will all hear the same sounds if only we are that same satges or levels of consciousness, and that Shabad or Anahad Bani resounds in everyone one of us, irrespective of our color, creed, gender or caste. 
    Sree Guru Amar Das says:  Nam jiskay man vaseeya, vaajeh Shabad ganere. Means, whosoever concentrates on Nam will hear the sound of that Shabad or Nam within himself/herself.
    In His eyes, we are all His souls.
    It is we blind fools who fight and quarrel and kill or abuse someone in the name of religion, that too, when we have not seen that Jot  for ourselves, we forget that according to khel and our karmas we are born in a particular place, body, and dharam, ad according to His kanoon of karmas no one can change anyone, so why not respect all as they are?
    Going back to your query, it is by great good luck that in Sikhee under the guidance of the True spiritual Teachers, Guru Sahiban, we are taught how to overcome all our limitations and by devoting ourselves to their higher and pure teachings we manifest the Sound or Voice of the ultimate Truth or call it creator and see His Jot within us.
    That is supreme mahima of Guru Jee, who making us shatter our deep rooted ignorance and thus throughly cleaning us all our dirt of karmas, sanskaras, from countless lives, makes us pur and fit to reunite ourselves and become one with that Ultimate Truth which some call God, and we in sikhee call that creative power Wahehuru Akal Purukh, who is formless and beyond any imagination, not even gods or any other entities can know anything about Him, except His lovers and Guru Sahiban.
    That is what Gurbani is for, to overcome all our limitations, all our pettiness, all our complexes, of which we are so much proud prisoners.

    When one cries while listening Gurbani, it is a sign of His grace and also it means that the Amrit of Gurbani has pierced the hardened stone of our mind and filled us with true love for Him.
    And when truly loves someone, then only does one feel cry and feel the agony of being away from the beloved.
    I have heard mahapurukhs say that,  there is no such perfect cleanser for our soul/mind as crying for our beloved Waheguru. Not even yeras of bandagee is compared to a moment of vichoraa from our Beloved.
    Our cries shake Him even, who then comes running to us and embrace us, though we may not see Him with our eyes. 
    But it is a fact, that, even our cries for Him, is more a pull from His side, than any merits of ours.
    He is ready to give us His wealth of love and mercy, it is only that  we have to be pure in word, in deed and in mind, in order to be receptive to that His "daat".

    There's a serious problem with lack of crop diversity there. The economy seems stagnant. Something like cannabis could easily create new revenues. 
    Or start growing opium to turn into heroin and then throw the packets over the border to give them to55ers a taste of their own medicine. lol!

    AMA JEE, 
    will try my best, but first of all I would like to tell you, that, this relation of wife - husband mentioned in this Shabad below is not of worldly wife and husband, but that spiritual one of love where the  soul is like a wife and Waheguru Akal Purukh is husband, as a loving protector.

    Katha Shaheed Singhs

    ਇਕ ਦਿਨ ਕਲਗੀਧਰ ਥਿਰੇ, ਸਿਦਕੀ ਸਿਖ ਤੀਰਾ ।
    One day Kalgidhar [Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji] was sitting with his faithful [Sidhki] Sikhs.
     

    ਮੁਹਕਮ ਸਿੰਘ ਅਰ ਦਯਾ ਸਿੰਘ, ਹਿੰਮਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਧੀਰਾ ।
    [Piara] Mohkam Singh, [Piara] Daya Singh and the content [Piara] Himmat Singh were also present

    Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji laughed after hearing this question and said the following,
    eh sawal sun ke pehla ta maharaj ji hass paye, fir shromani mukh chon eh bole,

    'ਗੁਪਤ ਹੁਤੀ ਬੂਝੀ ਤੁਮਹੁ, ਕਹਿਬੋ ਬਨਿ ਆਯੋ ।

    Your mistaking it. The 14 realms/worlds  as stated are the 14 plains of existence in the material world. These are divided into 3 - the higher (spiritual), the intermediate (self-explanatory) and the lower totally material.. so there are 14 of which each are part of the 3 divisions. The universe is spherical in shape and contain all of these. Aboding Above all and inside all is the creator is WAHEGURU. 🙏🏽

    GurjantGnostic reacted to SunnySingh in questions regarding Sri Guru Granth Sahib on how many worlds are there   
    The 3 worlds/lokas or planes are as following: the physical or gross one, the astral, and the causal.
    All of these in time are subject to decay and dissolution, in Parlay or Mahaparlay
    Above these 3,  is Parbrham, the pure spiritual realm which has it highest peak in Sach Khand, the ultimate, changeless, eternal and infinite, the permanent abode of Waheguru Akal Purukh, where only He exists, and whosoever reaches there by His grace, also becomes one with Him.

    GurjantGnostic reacted to dalsingh101 in Contemporary Picture Of Guru Tegh Bahadur?   
    I was reading The Khalsa & the Punjab - studies in Sikh history to the 19th century (Ed. Himadri Banerjee) which was published by Tulika books (India) in 2002 under the auspices of the Indian History Congress and came across a black and white reproduction of the image in the OP or an image which is practically identical to it (pg. 165).


    What surprised me was the caption which says: "Fig 2: Ram Rai, son of Har Rai (Mughal, c. 1685). Collection of Mahant Indresh Charan Das."


    About the same time I was skimming through Sikh Art & Literature (Ed. Kerry Brown) which was published in 1999 by Routledge in conjunction with The Sikh Foundation which, as some of you may know, is headed by Narinder 'father of fibre optics' Kapany and whose website is the source of the image in the OP. In that book we have a small colour reproduction of the image in the OP with the caption: "Plate 5 'Guru Tegh Bahadur', 1670, Mughal school, gouache on paper, 22 x 16.5 cm (Kapany collection)"


    If we take this info at face value then we have 2 practically identical images, one in the collection of Narinder Kapany and the other in Mahant Indresh.

    Another image elsewhere in the Tulika book gives a location for Mahant Indresh Charan Das in Dera Shri Guru Ram Rai, Dehradun and I can't help but wonder if this guy is a direct blood descendent of Ram Rai or the person who currently sits on that sects gurgaddi?


    Point is that there clearly seems to be confusion as regards to the identity of the person in these images. It would be interesting to know the source of the painting in the Kapany collection i.e. did it come from Ram Rai's Dera or elsewhere?

    Edit: A link to an institute that appears to be headed by the aforementioned mahant - http://www.sgrrmc.com/page/history.aspx

    Quote from site "Sri Guru Ram Rai ji left for his heavenly abode in 1687.After that Sajjada Nashin Sri Mahants have been ascending the ‘Gaddi’ and were persons of extreme wisdom with a strong sense of devotion, commitment and service to mankind. The ninth Sri Mahant Indresh Charan Das ji established Sri Guru Ram Rai Education Mission and brought a revolution in the field of education. "

    You should do a write up about Patna Sahib, it's a bit of a mystery to most Sikhs. Now that we have Nidar and Parmjit's book on Hazur Sahib, we need something similar about Patna Sahib, although I doubt it will be as exciting and well documented as Hazur Sahib (I might be wrong though).
