Much literature from the Anandpur period has actually survived till this day, - we are talking thousands of pages - spanning from translation of large parts of the Mahabharat, 50 or more Upanishads, the Rajniti Chanakya from 320 BC, The Kimi'as Sadat from 1100s, the Prem Ambodh Granth on stories of pious devotees, literature of Vedant, mystical poetry, historical/mythological accounts of the past, treaties on rhetorics and logic, manuals on how to write poetry and prose, lingvistics, manuals of warfare, diplomacy and government building etc etc etc.

Nice job. Really good and well done. Please keep it coming, and post on other pages/blogs etc as well so it is not limited to this forum alone

Just leave it pappiman. There wasn't 1 million Mughal soldiers fighting the Guru at Chamkaur. If there was one million why would the Mughals send additionally 700?? Does'nt make sense, - these 700 would be useless in the ocean of 1 million soldiers.

What do you mean dal ji?

I did'n know there were serious conflicts between Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the Nihangs :s What were the conflicts about?

I havent been able to find references in dasam bani since sridasam.org was closed down 😞

Cheers, i'll read it later tonight.

Thats a really cool and informative introduction by Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha! He was a great scholar

Aah interesting! Maybe each of these "take this Word and add to that Word" makes up some attributes of the shastars.
We should do another one of these vichaar series - as we are doing on Charitro Pakhyan - just with the Shastarnaam mala puran and go through each weapon

What is the purpose and meaning behind the shastarnaam mala puran? This shabad makes me think there are some deep meanings in it since it adresses the 52 poets of the Guru assembly directly.
ਅਥ ਤੁਪਕ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ॥
Now Begins the description of the names of the Gun

ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥
दोहरा ॥
DOHRA

ਬਾਹਨਿ ਆਦਿ ਉਚਾਰੀਐ ਰਿਪ ਪਦ ਅੰਤਿ ਉਚਾਰ ॥ ਨਾਮ ਤੁਪਕ ਕੇ ਹੋਤ ਹੈਂ ਲੀਜਹੁ ਸੁ ਕਬਿ ਸੁਧਾਰ ॥੪੬੧॥
बाहनि आदि उचारीऐ रिप पद अंति उचार ॥ नाम तुपक के होत हैं लीजहु सु कबि सुधार ॥४६१॥
Uttering the word "Vaahini" and then adding "Ripu Ari" at the end, the names of the Gun are formed, which O poets You may comprehend.

From the Pingalsar Granth of 1688 by Kavi Girdhar Lal.

who is this

I dont think it refers to raagmala of Guru Granth Sahib. The word comes many times in Sri Dasam Granth though.

I've heard that before also but never had the time to see if it is accurate. Have you ? Quite interesting if thats the case.

I haven't read the book but I think he is referencing loads of teekas along the way. Not sure how old they are though.

Kam Singh wrote a book once containing the anthreev arths of raagmala.

I came across this online:
 
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

panja pyareya chon, bhai daya singh ji, bhai mohkam singh ji te bhai himmat singh ji vi hajuri vich san

ਇੱਤ੍ਯਾਦਿਕ ਕਰ ਜੋਰਿ ਕੈ, ਅਸ ਗਿਰਾ ਬਖਾਨੀ ।
At that moment all three of them folded their hands and made the following supplication,
ohs samme tinna ne apne apne hath jodde te satguraan nu eh vinamr benti keeti,
 
 
'ਸ੍ਰੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਹਮੈ ਬਤਾਈਐ, ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਅਨੁਜਾਨੀ ॥੪॥
"Oh Guru Ji, please enlighten us on a topic we have no knowledge of. [4]
Satguru ji kirpa kar ke saanu ehs vishe te gyaan baksho, jide vare asi anjaan haan,

ਕਿਨ ਕੋ ਨਾਮ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਹੈ, ਕ੍ਯਾ ਕਿਰਤ ਕਰੰਤੇ ? ।
The beings known as Shaheeds, What do they do?

jede paani ne jina nu shaheed keha janda aa, oh ki karde han?
 
 
ਗਤਿ ਮਿਤ ਇਨ ਕੀ ਕੌਨ ਹੈ, ਕ੍ਯਾ ਸ਼ਕਤਿ ਧਰੰਤੇ ? ।
What is their limit? What is their code of conduct? What is their power?
ohna di haddaan, ohna dia rehet behet, te ohna dia shaktiaa ki han?

ਜਿਸ ਥਲ ਬਾਸਾ, ਹੈ ਕਿਤਿਕ, ਪਦਵੀ ਇਨ ਕੇਤੀ ।
Where do they stay? What is their elevated position?
oh kithe rehnde ne te ohna di ki awasta aa?

ਸਭਿ ਗ੍ਯਾਤਾ ਕੇ ਤੁਮ ਧਨੀ, ਕਹੀਐ ਹਮ ਸੇਤੀ'॥੫॥
You are the knower of all this knowledge, for this reason we have come to you for answers."[5]
tusi ehna saaria gala de jaanu ho, so taahi kar ke asi aap ji di sharan aaye haan,

ਸੁਨਿ ਸਿੱਖਨ ਤੇ ਗੁਰ ਹਸੇ, ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖ ਫੁਰਮਾਯੋ ।
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 ।
"This topic of which you have asked was to be kept secret but because you have asked I will answer your questions."
Singho eh sawaal, eh vishaa gupat hi rakhna si assi, par tusi saade pyaare sikh ho, asi tuhanu dassa ge ehde bhet,

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਆਪਨੀ, ਸਭਿ ਰਖਹਿਂ ਹਜੂਰੰ ।
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the protector of the Sangat
hun kawi keh rehe han,,
guru gobind singh ji apnia sangata de raakhe, pratpaalak san,

ਸੇਵਕ ਕੀ ਪਤਿ ਰਾਖਤੇ, ਆਪੇ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੰ ॥੬॥
The complete Guru is the one who protects the honour of his devotees. [6]
sampooran guru oh aa jo apne
shardhaalua da maan mahat nu kaim rakhda,

ਸੁਨਿ ਸਭਿ ਕਲਿ ਕਾਲ ਇਹੁ, ਬਰਤ੍ਯੋ ਬਡ ਘੋਰੇ ।
"Listen brotheres the age of Kaljug is very intense.
satgur ji ne furmaya, sunno mere sikho, kaljug da samaa boht teekshan, bhao gambheer hai,

ਗੁਰ ਪਾਲੀ ਸਿਖ ਸਭਿਨਿ ਕੋ, ਭਲਕਾਵ ਨ ਭੋਰੇ ।
The Guru nourishes every Sikh and does not ever forget them.
guru apne sikh di pooran pratpaalna karda hai, te ohnu kade visaarda nahi,

ਤਾੜਤਿ ਹੈ ਬਹੁ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਤੇ, ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਬਹੁ ਭੇਖਾ ।
If a Sikh does something wrong a Guru has many methods on correcting them by adopting numerous forms.

je koi sikh koi galti ya bhul kare, ta satguraan kol ohna bhula nu sudharan de bhin bhin raah hunde han, tareeke hunde han ohnu bhula da sudhar karan lai..

ਹੁਕਮ ਸੱਤਿਤਾ ਟਿਕਨਿ ਮਨ, ਸਿੱਖਨ ਗੁਰ ਦੇਖਾ ॥੭॥
A Sikh should adopt truth and accept the will of God, these are what the Guru keeps an eye on and tests. [7]

sikh nu sach te parabhu de bhaane nu mannana chahida, ehna gala te hi guru sikh uppar apni nigaah banaai rakhda,

ਜੋ ਸਾਬਤ ਹੈ ਸਿਦਕ ਮੈਂ, ਅਰ ਰਣ ਮਹਿਂ ਸੂਰਾ ।
Those who have faith will never show his back in a battlefield
jede sidki te bharose wale ne, oh kade rann bhoomi ch pith nai wakhaunde,

ਸੋ ਭਉਜਲ ਤੇ ਤਰਿ ਗਯੋ, ਪਾਯੋ ਪਦ ਰੂਰਾ ।
That being will swim across the worldly ocean if they are martyred in battle. They are liberated without needing to meditate or undergo austerities.
ehda de praani, sikh sansaar de bhaosaagar ch paar langh jaande ne, te je oh sach te dharmi judh vich shaheed ho jaan, te oh mukati nu paraapat hunde ne. chaahe ohna ne bhagti keeti hove ya nahi, naam jappeya hove ya nahi, oh bohith to paar langh jaande han..

ਜਿਨਕੇ ਸਿਦਕ ਨ ਸਾਬਤੀ, ਕਾਤੁਰ ਜੰਜਾਲੀ ।
Those who are not faithful and are trapped in attachment are lost cowards.
jedde nirshardhak te be-bharose wale prani ne, jo sansaari moh ch urjhe rehnde ne, oh anth kaayar ho marde han.

ਭਟਕਤਿ ਜਨਮ ਰੁ ਮਰਨ ਮਹਿਂ, ਸੁਖ ਤੇ ਨਿਤ ਖਾਲੀ ॥੮॥
They remain trapped in a cycle of transmigration and are forever without bliss. [8]

oh sadeev kaal lai hi kaal de geddeya ch fanse rehne ne te mud mud awagaman ch rehne ne, na hi ohna nu anand di paraapati hundi aa, dukhi rehnde ne..

ਗੁਰੂ ਖਰੇ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਸਹਿਤ, ਚਿਰਕਾਲ ਉਡੀਕੈਂ ।
I stand in the next world with the sangat waiting for the arrival of a Shaheed.
maharaaj ji sharomani mukh cho eh bachan uchaarde han,
ki mai ohna shaheed singha di udeek ehs sansaar te aggle padaa, agle dunia ch apni hor sangata naal karda haan,

ਖੋੜਸ ਤੱਤਨਿ ਦੇਹ ਧਰਿ, ਥਿਰ ਰਹੈਂ ਸੁ ਨੀਕੇ ।
The subtle body made of the sixteen facets (seventeen in Vedant) is entrapped in the cycle of transmigration

ohna da sookham shareer 16 pehluaan da baneya honda, (vedda ch 17) eh sharir awagama ch rehnda hai,

ਹਿਤ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਹਮ ਤਹਾਂ, ਤਬਿ ਬਨਹਿਂ ਸਹਾਈ ।
I will be standing to assist them in the next world to look after those who have gone off the path to be forgiven.
mai ohna lai agle sansar ch khada udikda ha, jede bhawen ehs maarag to vichlit hoe par muafi jog han,

ਦਸ ਸਹੰਸ੍ਰ ਸੰਮਤ ਲਗੌ, ਦੇਖੌਂ ਦ੍ਰਿਗ ਲਾਈ ॥੯॥
For 10000 years I will continue to watch over them. [9]
mai 10000 sala tak ohna te nigaah rakhdan

ਹਮਰੀ ਦਿਸ਼ਿ ਕੋ ਸਿੱਖ ਇਹੁ, ਚਲਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਕੈਸੇ ।
I will hope that through some method a Sikh will find a passage to me.
mai umeed karda ki sikh mera,, mere wal nu mukh kar lave, gurmukh ho jawe

ਜੋ ਆਵਹਿ ਰਲ ਜਾਤਿ ਹੈ, ਸਿੱਖਨਿ ਮਹਿਂ ਤੈਸੇ ।
Those who state their misdeeds and come back into the order should still be considered your brother

jede apni bhula nu kabul len te hukum ch, sharni aa jaan ohna nu apne bhai jaan'na karo,

ਸਿੱਖ ਛਪੰਜਾ ਕ੍ਰੋੜ ਹੈਂ, ਸੌਂਪੇ ਗੁਰ ਹਾਥਾ ।
I have been blessed with an order of 560,000,000 Shaheeds by God
maharaj ne keha, mainu 56 cror shaheeda da kotta baksheya akaal purakh ne..

ਹੁਕਮ ਅਹੈ ਕਰਤਾਰ ਕੋ, ਸਭਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਸਨਾਥਾ ॥੧੦॥
They are all under my subjecation and liberated. [10]

By making them pure I have sent them to Sachkhand

ohna nu khalis te shudh karan to uprant mai ohna nu sachkhan bhej ta hai.

They cross over the worldly ocean to safety after helping the world
oh ehs jag di madad, loka da udhar karan to baad sansaari saagar nu surkhian paar kar lende ne.

ਉਤ ਤੇ ਲੋਕ ਕੁਬੇਰ ਲਗਿ, ਇਤ ਭੂ ਪਰ ਸਾਰੇ ।
From the realm of Kuber to this planet.
kuber di viraasat ton lai ke ehs greh tak,

ਗੁਰੂ ਉਡੀਕਹਿਂਗੇ ਖਰੇ, ਸਿਖ ੳਰ ਨਿਹਾਰੇ ॥੧੧॥
I will stand and await for the arrival of my Sikh who has returned to the order. [11]

Whatever is their desire will become manifest

ਗੁਰ ਬਿਨ ਕਿਮ ਸੁਖ ਕੌ ਲਹੈਂ, ਅੰਧੇ ਅੱਗ੍ਯਾਨੀ'॥੨੪॥
Without the Guru how can an ignorant person gain peace and bliss?"[24]

guru baahjho ehe agyaani, kidda mukti te anand nu parapat ho sakde han?

ਸੁਨਿ ਸਿੱਖਨਿ ਗੁਰ ਕੋ ਬਚਨ, ਮਨ ਬਿਖੈ ਬਸਾਯੋ ।
All of the Sikhs listened to the words of the Guru and adopted the teachings of the Guru

sarbbatt samooh sikh sangat ne satguraan de ehna saare amrit mayi bachana nu sarwan keeta, te apne amal vich lyaanda.

'ਧੰਨ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਪੂਰਨ ਕਲਾ, ਤੁਮ ਸਕਲ ਬਤਾਯੋ ।
[Piara] Daya Singh Ji said,"Oh God, master, you are truely complete and have told us everything

daya singh ji ne kehna keeta, ki he Parmeshar Naanak Saroop Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj! Aap ji sach vich sampooran te samrath guru ho!! Saanu saare sawaala de jawaab ditte ne!

Gurfateh
I came across this online:
 
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

panja pyareya chon, bhai daya singh ji, bhai mohkam singh ji te bhai himmat singh ji vi hajuri vich san

ਇੱਤ੍ਯਾਦਿਕ ਕਰ ਜੋਰਿ ਕੈ, ਅਸ ਗਿਰਾ ਬਖਾਨੀ ।
At that moment all three of them folded their hands and made the following supplication,
ohs samme tinna ne apne apne hath jodde te satguraan nu eh vinamr benti keeti,
 
 
'ਸ੍ਰੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਹਮੈ ਬਤਾਈਐ, ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਅਨੁਜਾਨੀ ॥੪॥
"Oh Guru Ji, please enlighten us on a topic we have no knowledge of. [4]
Satguru ji kirpa kar ke saanu ehs vishe te gyaan baksho, jide vare asi anjaan haan,

ਕਿਨ ਕੋ ਨਾਮ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਹੈ, ਕ੍ਯਾ ਕਿਰਤ ਕਰੰਤੇ ? ।
The beings known as Shaheeds, What do they do?

jede paani ne jina nu shaheed keha janda aa, oh ki karde han?
 
 
ਗਤਿ ਮਿਤ ਇਨ ਕੀ ਕੌਨ ਹੈ, ਕ੍ਯਾ ਸ਼ਕਤਿ ਧਰੰਤੇ ? ।
What is their limit? What is their code of conduct? What is their power?
ohna di haddaan, ohna dia rehet behet, te ohna dia shaktiaa ki han?

ਜਿਸ ਥਲ ਬਾਸਾ, ਹੈ ਕਿਤਿਕ, ਪਦਵੀ ਇਨ ਕੇਤੀ ।
Where do they stay? What is their elevated position?
oh kithe rehnde ne te ohna di ki awasta aa?

ਸਭਿ ਗ੍ਯਾਤਾ ਕੇ ਤੁਮ ਧਨੀ, ਕਹੀਐ ਹਮ ਸੇਤੀ'॥੫॥
You are the knower of all this knowledge, for this reason we have come to you for answers."[5]
tusi ehna saaria gala de jaanu ho, so taahi kar ke asi aap ji di sharan aaye haan,

ਸੁਨਿ ਸਿੱਖਨ ਤੇ ਗੁਰ ਹਸੇ, ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖ ਫੁਰਮਾਯੋ ।
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 ।
"This topic of which you have asked was to be kept secret but because you have asked I will answer your questions."
Singho eh sawaal, eh vishaa gupat hi rakhna si assi, par tusi saade pyaare sikh ho, asi tuhanu dassa ge ehde bhet,

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਆਪਨੀ, ਸਭਿ ਰਖਹਿਂ ਹਜੂਰੰ ।
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the protector of the Sangat
hun kawi keh rehe han,,
guru gobind singh ji apnia sangata de raakhe, pratpaalak san,

ਸੇਵਕ ਕੀ ਪਤਿ ਰਾਖਤੇ, ਆਪੇ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੰ ॥੬॥
The complete Guru is the one who protects the honour of his devotees. [6]
sampooran guru oh aa jo apne
shardhaalua da maan mahat nu kaim rakhda,

ਸੁਨਿ ਸਭਿ ਕਲਿ ਕਾਲ ਇਹੁ, ਬਰਤ੍ਯੋ ਬਡ ਘੋਰੇ ।
"Listen brotheres the age of Kaljug is very intense.
satgur ji ne furmaya, sunno mere sikho, kaljug da samaa boht teekshan, bhao gambheer hai,

ਗੁਰ ਪਾਲੀ ਸਿਖ ਸਭਿਨਿ ਕੋ, ਭਲਕਾਵ ਨ ਭੋਰੇ ।
The Guru nourishes every Sikh and does not ever forget them.
guru apne sikh di pooran pratpaalna karda hai, te ohnu kade visaarda nahi,

ਤਾੜਤਿ ਹੈ ਬਹੁ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਤੇ, ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਬਹੁ ਭੇਖਾ ।
If a Sikh does something wrong a Guru has many methods on correcting them by adopting numerous forms.

je koi sikh koi galti ya bhul kare, ta satguraan kol ohna bhula nu sudharan de bhin bhin raah hunde han, tareeke hunde han ohnu bhula da sudhar karan lai..

ਹੁਕਮ ਸੱਤਿਤਾ ਟਿਕਨਿ ਮਨ, ਸਿੱਖਨ ਗੁਰ ਦੇਖਾ ॥੭॥
A Sikh should adopt truth and accept the will of God, these are what the Guru keeps an eye on and tests. [7]

sikh nu sach te parabhu de bhaane nu mannana chahida, ehna gala te hi guru sikh uppar apni nigaah banaai rakhda,

ਜੋ ਸਾਬਤ ਹੈ ਸਿਦਕ ਮੈਂ, ਅਰ ਰਣ ਮਹਿਂ ਸੂਰਾ ।
Those who have faith will never show his back in a battlefield
jede sidki te bharose wale ne, oh kade rann bhoomi ch pith nai wakhaunde,

ਸੋ ਭਉਜਲ ਤੇ ਤਰਿ ਗਯੋ, ਪਾਯੋ ਪਦ ਰੂਰਾ ।
That being will swim across the worldly ocean if they are martyred in battle. They are liberated without needing to meditate or undergo austerities.
ehda de praani, sikh sansaar de bhaosaagar ch paar langh jaande ne, te je oh sach te dharmi judh vich shaheed ho jaan, te oh mukati nu paraapat hunde ne. chaahe ohna ne bhagti keeti hove ya nahi, naam jappeya hove ya nahi, oh bohith to paar langh jaande han..

ਜਿਨਕੇ ਸਿਦਕ ਨ ਸਾਬਤੀ, ਕਾਤੁਰ ਜੰਜਾਲੀ ।
Those who are not faithful and are trapped in attachment are lost cowards.
jedde nirshardhak te be-bharose wale prani ne, jo sansaari moh ch urjhe rehnde ne, oh anth kaayar ho marde han.

ਭਟਕਤਿ ਜਨਮ ਰੁ ਮਰਨ ਮਹਿਂ, ਸੁਖ ਤੇ ਨਿਤ ਖਾਲੀ ॥੮॥
They remain trapped in a cycle of transmigration and are forever without bliss. [8]

oh sadeev kaal lai hi kaal de geddeya ch fanse rehne ne te mud mud awagaman ch rehne ne, na hi ohna nu anand di paraapati hundi aa, dukhi rehnde ne..

ਗੁਰੂ ਖਰੇ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਸਹਿਤ, ਚਿਰਕਾਲ ਉਡੀਕੈਂ ।

ਹਿਤ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਹਮ ਤਹਾਂ, ਤਬਿ ਬਨਹਿਂ ਸਹਾਈ ।
I will be standing to assist them in the next world to look after those who have gone off the path to be forgiven.

beings like us with bad mind, what are we to understand or know? Your knowledge is beyond comprehension."[25]
 

No. Only those who have the book can verify it.
Come on, scan the pages for the readers.
ALMOST all stanzas. Why not post the whole sakhi? And why is the fourth stanza cut out? What is the 11th stanza about since its left out?
Mate you are running around in circles. Its gettting way too childish and too weird for me.
 
I dont think you are used to doing research with other people.  Thats why you turn things into competions and bring the levels down for the most parts.. Normally when two people do khoj, they look at the original text, see what it says, look at ways to understand and translate. See how it fits with others etc... Seems like you are not used to this - you see it as a competion - who can bring up the best argument and theory... It does'nt look like you're interested in knowing the truth.. It just looks like you enjoy seeing your posts being published and hearing yourself talk.....
Challo, keep debating with yourself.

1st Feb - Sant Attar Singh Ji's Bursi


A truly great soul of the 20th Century....


After the annexation of Punjab to British Empire in 1849, very large number of weak minded Sikhs were converted to Christianity under the influence of Christian missionaries. The population of Sikhs declined to mere 8 lakhs and the situation was so grim that according to British Government intelligence reports, there will be no Sikh in this world by the year 1900, A.D. if this pace of conversion continued. At this critical time in the history of the Sikhs, Sant Attar Singh Ji was sent to this world by Almighty Wahe Guru to stem this tide of conversion of the Sikhs to Christianity. With the Grace of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Sant Attar Singh Ji baptised about 14 lakh persons to Sikh faith in his life time. Population of Sikhs grew to 40 lakhs by the time Sant Ji left this mortal world.

Sant Attar Singh Ji, the most widely known and respected great saint, was born on 28th March, 1867 A.D. in the village Chima of the erstwhile Jind State (Now in Sangrur District of Punjab) to father Baba Karam Singh Ji and mother Mata Bholi Kaur Ji.

From his very childhood, Attar Singh showed signs of his future greatness. He loved quiet meditation. Even at the age offive years, he used to remain engrossed in meditation for long periods. At the age of seven, the young lad was sent to a village School but he respectfully replied that he would receive only that education which leads to realisation of truth.

in 1885 A.D., young Attar Singh joined the army. He took "AMRIT" (baptism) from five beloved ones (Panj Pyaras) led by Bhai Jodh Singh, a priest in an Army Sikh Gurdwara. Under his guidance, Attar Singh Ji devoted his time in studying the sacred Sikh books and meditating on divine NAM. He was also very active and upto date in the military duties and attained the first portion in markmanship.

News of his fathers death moved him to immerse in Divine Realm at the earliest. He decided to leave the service by getting himself changed from active service to reserve category. Then he proceded on foot from Dera Ghazi Khan (Now in Pakistan) to Historical Sikh Temple of Hazoor Sahib Nanded (Now in Maharashtra State). Guru Gobind Singh Ji breathed his last at this sacred Shrine. He spent about 2 years at Hazoor Sahib and during this period, he engaged himself in prolonged meditation and infinite number of Japji Sahib Path recitations without caring for food and rest. He used to spend whole night in deep meditation and recitation of Holy Nam.

From Hazoor Sahib, he walked to Haridwar and Rishikesh (in U.P.) through thick forests. He spent about a year in deep and prolonged meditation at Rishi Kesh. From there, he set out on foot, along with Bhai Ram Singh of Thamali for Sialkot (now in Pakistan) via Dehradun, Paonta Sahib, Baru, Anand Pur Sahib, Una and Gurdas Pur. From Sialkot, he reached Amritsar and meditated constantly for 3 days on the third floor of Gurdwara Baba Atal. From there, he reached his home village and met his mother. On the persistent request of Sant Ji, she gave her consent for allowing him not to marry so as to enable him to be free to spend his life for the service of humanity in general and Sikh Panth in particular. Sant ji left his village Chima after three months. Since he was not formally discharged from Army as yet, he decided to submit himself before army authorities at Abbotabad in Rawal Pindi district (now in Pakistan)for completing formalities for final discharge from army. Colonel, the Commanding Officer of his unit appreciated his services and tried to persuade him not to leave the army service but Sant ji did not relent and was finally discharged from the army. Thus he became totally free to persue the Divine Mission in his life.

On his way to Punja Sahib Gurdwara, he had vision of Ten Gurus. From there he went to Rawal Pindi to meet Bhai Ram Singh Ji. In consultation with him, he selected an isolated place of thick forest near village Kanoha for prolonged meditation. After conpletion of an Akhand Path (uninterrupted recitation of whole of Guru Granth Sahib), he resorted to prolonged meditations in three spells o 40 days, 6 months and then one year. During this period he used to take a very small quantity of food once a day only which was served by a devotee couple. As a result of these prolonged meditations, his body was reduced to a mere skeleton. From then on, he was respectfully known as Sant.

His mother Mata Bholi ji developed an abscess near the knee joint which caused her lot of pain and sufferings. Sant ji an one to one meeting with her, explained the spirit of tolerance and accepting Will of God by concentrating on Divine Nam. She thus had realisation of spiritual Gyan (True knowledge). This realisation of one ness with God enabled her to overcome physical sufferings completely and attain exalted spiritual stage of JIWAN MUKAT (empancipation of spirit in life time) in her last days and died a peaceful and saintly death.

On the advice of Baba Sham Singh Ji of Amritsar - an exalted noble person, Principal Niranjan Singh Mehta of Khalsa College Amritsar met Sant Attar Singh ji at Lahore in 1905 A.D. HE took AMRIT and was known afterwards as Sant Teja Singh. He dedicated his whole life to Sant Attar Singh ji for selfless service who sent him abroad for highter education and propagation of Sikh faith. HE got his degree from Harvard University in America. Wherever he went in Europe and America, he spread Divine message of Guru Nanak.

In 1911 A.D., King George V visited Delhi and a grand Delhi Darbar was held at Delhi. Maharajas (rulers) of Sikh states requested Sant ji to lead the procession of Sikhs on this occasion. Seated on an elephant in the holy presence of Guru Granth Sahib, he sang the Gurbani Shabad when his elephant passed by the British King. The theme of the shabad was "No other King or Raja can be equal to Almighty God because all these worldly rulers exist only for a very short span of time and indulge in falsehood" On an enquiry by the King, meaning of the Shabad was explained to him. On hearing about him, the King was very much impressed by the noble and radiant personality of Sant ji.

During a religious discourse (Katha) at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, Delhi, he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Despite best possible medical treatment, then available, Sant ji left his mortal frame and merged with All prevading God on 1st Feb. 1927 A.D. at Sangrur. He was cremated at Mastuana Sahib, 5 kilometres away, in the presence of mamoth gathering of his followers and devotees. Thus an era of religious revivalism in Sikh history came to an end. But his memory and achievement s will ever remain alive in the hearts of millions of his fellow religionists.

Sant Attar Singh laid great emphasis on the spread of education and founded large number of Sikh Schools and Colleges. He always insisted on education blended with lofty principles of love, compassion, humility. and higher values in life. He took active interest in the affairs of Sikh Educational Conference. On the request of renowned National leader, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, Sant ji laid the foundation stone of Banaras Hindu University at Varanasi in 1914 A.D. Pandit ji was so much impressed by the towering personality of Sant Ji that he wanted that every Hindu family should have least one member as a Sikh.

Sant ji helped in the construction of many Gurdwaras and Holy tanks. He was responsible for constructing a magnificient building and holy tank at Gurdwara Dam Dama Sahib, Sabo ki Talwandi, in Bathinda District. He also got constructed huge buildings for Gurdwara and educational centre, known as Gur Sagar institution, at Mastuana in Sangrur District of Punjab.

He always preached meditation and noble human qualities of love, compassion, humility and selfless service. He used to say that all the problems faced by Sikh Panth will be resolved if all Sikhs get up early in the morning (Amrit Vela) and meditate on Wahe Guru NAM after taking bath. He spread message of love emphasising oneness of God and Universal brotherhood of all human beings.

At a time when Sikh Panth seemed to be on the verge of extinction as stated in the beginning of this article, he unleashed a massive movement of Amrit/Dharam Parchar to such an extent that he was responsible for baptising Amrit to about 14 lakh Sikhs in his life time. Many prominent Sikh personalities including Master Tara Singh, Sant Teja Singh ji, Principal Bhai Jodh Singh, Principal Bawa Harkrishan Singh, Principal Teja Singh, Malik Hardit Singh (former ambassador) etc. partook Amrit from Sant Attar Singh as one of Five Beloved ones (Panj Pyaras). He was embodiment of love and humility and practised what he preached in his life. He laid emphasis on meditation of Wahe Guru NAM and recitation of Nit Nem Banis early in the morning coupled with leading a true religious and pious life as per Sikh Faith.

Sant Attar Singh ji was such a great soul that he was, perhaps, the first Sikh personality to be affectionately awarded with holy title of a SANT by Sikh Panth/Sangat in the Twentieth Century.

There wasn't one million Mughals. The Sri Zafarnama is written in poetry and the number 1 million is used as a rhetorical device to suggest that the Singhs were heavily outnumbered.

Avatarvaad is not based on some competition on who is the greatest. Each avatar comes with a specific purpose and mission according to the context they manifest in. Krishna was pooran according to the context he manifested in and the Sri Satguru was pooran according to the context they manifested in. I find this "my Guru is greater than your Guru" business a bit too childish.
