shaheediyan Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Taken from Veer Jvala Singhs blog - Dasmesh Pita addressing the sangat: Sri Gurpratap Suraj Prakash Granth, Guru Gobind Singh Ji Katha, Ain Dooja, Adiaaie (chapter), 23 "ਆਯੁਧ ਬਿੱਦਯਾ ਕੋ ਅੱਭਯਾਸਹੁ ! । ਬਨਹੁ ਬੀਰ ਅਰਿ ਸਮੁਖ ਬਿਨਾਸ਼ਹੁ ! । ਜਗਤ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਸਗਰ ਪਾਵਹੁ । ਭੋਗਹੁ ਆਪ ਭਿ ਅਵਰ ਭੁਗਾਵਹੁ ।੧੪। Practise the science of war (Ayudh Bidiya), become warriors and destroy whoever steps to you ! Distribute the goods of the world around, enjoy them and make others enjoy them as well. ਮਰਹੁ ਜੁੱਧ ਮਹਿਂ ਸੁਰਗ ਸਿਧਾਰਹੁ । ਸਹਿਕਾਮੀ ਸੁਖ ਸਕਲ ਬਿਹਾਰਹੁ । ਨਿਹਕਾਮੀ ਹੁਇ ਮੁਝ ਮੋ ਮੇਲ । ਪਰਹਿ ਨ ਜਨਮ ਮਰਨ ਕੋ ਗੈਲ ।੧੫। In war if you shall die you will go to heaven. Those who do [good] action for their own good [sehkami], they will [still] receive great happiness. The ones who do [good] without any desire, they will be united with Me, they will not be placed in the birth and death cycle [reincarnation] again." This may sound like a dumb question, but why has the word ਆਯੁਧ been used instead of ਯੁਧ? May be Jvala Singh could help here...

shaheediyan Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks bro. If you could find the references for the other 2 and any others) next you visit the akaara, that would also be much appreciated. Ultimately this small collection should hopefully serve as a strong inspiration for Singhs to seriously think about learning Yudh at the very least. Dhanvaad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
