Bhai Gurdass Singh's 41. Vaar

[amardeep]

Enjoy

O the beloved of the Guru, listen to the Eternal and True (Message of Guru) Gobind Singh.

When one joins the True Assembly, the five vices are liquidated.

In the Congregation no respect is accorded to the ones who disregard their Spouses,

The Lord God established the True congregation of the holy as his celestial throne.

Guru Nanak illuminated the Yogi Sidhs with the true form of the Fearless and Formless One.

In His Tenth Form, the Guru entreated the Shakti, the Integrity by bequeathing the nectar through the double edged sword.

Drink the Amrit nectar of double edged Khanda sword, accomplish the worth of your birth.

While the egocentric remains in duality, the Khalsa - the pure ones, enjoy the association of the Guru;

Hail, hail (Guru) Gobind Singh; He, Himself, is the Master and Disciple too.

But the Guru's Sikh remains unblemished in the Court of Righteousness.

And sequentially, always, meditate on Godly Guru Gobind Singh in the ambrosial hour.

Hail, hail (Guru) Gobind Singh; He, Himself, is the Master and the Disciple too.

The life patron of Puranas, is the perfect Supreme Soul.

Har, the Sustaining Lord, is not deficient in protection.

Hail! Manifested is the Supreme Being in the countenance of gallant Guru Gobind Singh,

Who is spectacular, and with his marvels, profusely he is Satguru, the True Lord.

Remember day and night, the virtues of Har who, at the times honest, endows truth.

Hail, hail (Guru) Gobind Singh; He, Himself, is the Master and the Disciple too.

Guru Gobind Singh manifested as the tenth incarnation.

He inspired the meditation upon the imperceptible, timeless and flawless Creator.

And initiated the Khalsa Panth, the Religious Path of Righteousness, and bequeathed scintillating splendour.

Head high with full tresses, and the sword in hand, (the Panth) eliminated the adversaries,

Wearing the breaches, the symbol of chastity, raised the arms,

Roaring the war-cries of Victory to the Guru, prevailed in the immense battlefields,

Rounded up all the devilish foes and annihilated them.

And then docilely manifested the appraisal of great Guru in the world.

Thus descended the young Singhs, the lions, like the rain showers from the blue sky,

Who eliminated all the Turk (ruling Muslim) enemies and promoted the God's Name.

None dared to face them, and all the chieftains took to their heels.

The kings, sovereigns and emirates, all of them were decimated.

With high pitched drum-beats (of victory), even the mountains shuddered.

The upheaval ruffled the earth and people forsook their domiciles.

In such a conflict and distress, the world was absorbed.

And there was none else than the True Guru who could eradicate the fright.

He (the True Guru), beholding the sword, displayed the feats bearable to none.

Hail, hail (Guru) Gobind Singh; He, Himself, is the Master and the Disciple too.

With the command of the Timeless, the Supreme True Guru, proclaimed the self-realisation,

[dalsingh101]

Who exactly wrote this?

It couldn't have been Bhai Gurdas from Guru Arjan Dev's time.

[Kam1825]

That was Bhai Gurdas Bhalla, This is by Bhai gurdas Singh from around 1770 ad

[dalsingh101]

Do we know anything about him? I had heard this was a Sindhi Gurdas but haven't found any old references to him.

[The Khalsa Fauj]

It is anti-Gurmat. It either needs to be edited or disposed.
