Beast Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I heard some1 say that "Bole So Nihaal" was a Nirmala Jaikara, and that Nihangs never used to say it. Can anyone shed any light on this, or is I talkin rubbish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikher Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 There is a document in the british library talking about how when the sikh movement of the 1920's was conforming to standard practice that the jaikare, were banned because alot of the time in the 1850's indian annexation the nihangs would in the jaikare, shout slogans against the gore taking over the country Like "Goria deh sir jhatkavey, London deh Kuthe" (Cut the goras head off these london dogs etc So as a part of a non intimidating jaikara "the Bole So nihal Sat Sri Akal" was adopted and nowadays your know in the gurdwara, when everyone says the reply Sat Sri akal its very timid and soft, compared to the Bonfire night at SS Camp where it was far from mild and soft, scary somewhat . see Jaikaras around the Bonfire here the Sank( Trumpet Shell drives throught the heart) About 10 pages down Many felt Guru Gobind Singh there with us all. Here is a video which you can hear some of the jaikaras chanted over and over. It's one of those things that you had to have been there. http://www.mrsikhnet.com/2005_09_01_gmustuk_archive.html Please correct me if I'm wrong, end of the Day sing the jaikare to your hearts content Bole So nihal...akaaal, sat Sri Akaaal or which ever way you want 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never scared but ur rite u cud feel Guru Gobind Singh ji amongst us! The reas why i raised this was cos my family are like the akaal jaikarah is wrong! there hsould only be 1 jaikara so wanted more clarification. I dnt knw if any 1 has seen the pictures from 1 of the paajis in camp..ont hem u can actually see the shaheed that were present!! it was amazing!!!! the bonfire nite shall never be forgotton!
