katha

Learning to self heal through Gurbani Ji. A journey of Bhai Randip Singh Ji, a student of Bhagat Jaswant Singh Ji. Bhai Sahib has lived quite a life! He discusses his failures, the time he spent hosting a foster home with his wife, and his ultimate goals in Sikhi. 

He is also starting up Chaupai Sahib classes every Saturday for Sikhs around the world, regardless of their background.

The podcast is truly priceless and has a lot we can learn from. Everyone's journey is different.

The Journey - In Conversation With Bhai Randip Singh

Bhai Kamalpreet Singh Pardeshi (Sikhism in Snippets) interviews Harjinder Singh (Akaal Publishers) about the life of Baba Thakhur Singh Jee Bhindranwale. The podcast includes inspiring insights into the life of Baba Jee.

We hope to bring you more such podcasts in the future. At 33mins into the podcast Harjinder Singh was trying to recall the name of Giani Partap Singh Langiaane Vale (which he could not recall at the time).

#4 Chhand 01 Pangti(Line) 4-6 - Chhapai Chhand | Sri Jaap Sahib English Katha

Hukamnama Katha of Parkash Hukamnama Sahib, by Bhai Sukhdeep Singh Ji (Basics of Sikhi):
ਪਹਿਲ ਪੁਰੀਏ ਪੁੰਡਰਕ ਵਨਾ ॥
First of all, the lotuses bloomed in the woods;
ਤਾ ਚੇ ਹੰਸਾ ਸਗਲੇ ਜਨਾਂ ॥
from them, all the swan-souls came into being.
ਕ੍ਰਿਸ੍ਨਾ ਤੇ ਜਾਨਊ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਚੰਤੀ ਨਾਚਨਾ ॥੧॥
Know that, through Krishna, the Lord, Har, Har, the dance of creation dances. ||1||
ਪਹਿਲ ਪੁਰਸਾਬਿਰਾ ॥
First of all, there was only the Primal Being.
ਅਥੋਨ ਪੁਰਸਾਦਮਰਾ ॥
From that Primal Being, Maya was produced.
ਅਸਗਾ ਅਸ ਉਸਗਾ ॥
All that is, is His.
ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਬਾਗਰਾ ਨਾਚੈ ਪਿੰਧੀ ਮਹਿ ਸਾਗਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
In this Garden of the Lord, we all dance, like water in the pots of the Persian wheel. ||1||Pause||
ਨਾਚੰਤੀ ਗੋਪੀ ਜੰਨਾ ॥
Women and men both dance.
ਨਈਆ ਤੇ ਬੈਰੇ ਕੰਨਾ ॥
There is no other than the Lord.
ਤਰਕੁ ਨ ਚਾ ॥
Don't dispute this,
ਭ੍ਰਮੀਆ ਚਾ ॥
and don't doubt this.
ਕੇਸਵਾ ਬਚਉਨੀ ਅਈਏ ਮਈਏ ਏਕ ਆਨ ਜੀਉ ॥੨॥
The Lord says, "This creation and I are one and the same." ||2||
ਪਿੰਧੀ ਉਭਕਲੇ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥
Like the pots on the Persian wheel, sometimes the world is high, and sometimes it is low.
ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਆਏ ਤੁਮ ਚੇ ਦੁਆਰਾ ॥
Wandering and roaming around, I have come at last to Your Door.
ਤੂ ਕੁਨੁ ਰੇ ॥
"Who are you?"
ਮੈ ਜੀ ॥ ਨਾਮਾ ॥ ਹੋ ਜੀ ॥
"I am Naam Dayv, Sir."
ਆਲਾ ਤੇ ਨਿਵਾਰਣਾ ਜਮ ਕਾਰਣਾ ॥੩॥੪॥
O Lord, please save me from Maya, the cause of death. ||3||4||

24 - Day 3 - Hukamnama Katha - Bhai Sukhdeep Singh Ji - ਹੁਕਮਨਾਮਾ ਕਥਾ

16 - Day 2 - 'Mothers of the Panth' Talk by Bhai Maan Singh Ji

Hukamnama Katha by Bhai Jivanpal Singh (Nihung Santhia/SGGS Academy)on the morning of Day 2:
ਸੋਰਠਿ ਮਹਲਾ ੯ ॥
Sorat'h, Ninth Mehl:
ਮਨ ਰੇ ਕਉਨੁ ਕੁਮਤਿ ਤੈ ਲੀਨੀ ॥
O mind, what evil-mindedness have you developed?
ਪਰ ਦਾਰਾ ਨਿੰਦਿਆ ਰਸ ਰਚਿਓ ਰਾਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਨਹਿ ਕੀਨੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
You are engrossed in the pleasures of other men's wives, and slander; you have not worshipped the Lord at all. ||1||Pause||
ਮੁਕਤਿ ਪੰਥੁ ਜਾਨਿਓ ਤੈ ਨਾਹਨਿ ਧਨ ਜੋਰਨ ਕਉ ਧਾਇਆ ॥
You do not know the way to liberation, but you run all around chasing wealth.
ਅੰਤਿ ਸੰਗ ਕਾਹੂ ਨਹੀ ਦੀਨਾ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਆਪੁ ਬੰਧਾਇਆ ॥੧॥
In the end, nothing shall go along with you; you have entrapped yourself in vain. ||1||
ਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਭਜਿਓ ਨ ਗੁਰ ਜਨੁ ਸੇਵਿਓ ਨਹ ਉਪਜਿਓ ਕਛੁ ਗਿਆਨਾ ॥
You have not meditated or vibrated upon the Lord; you have not served the Guru, or His humble servants; spiritual wisdom has not welled up within you.
ਘਟ ਹੀ ਮਾਹਿ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਤੇਰੈ ਤੈ ਖੋਜਤ ਉਦਿਆਨਾ ॥੨॥
The Immaculate Lord is within your heart, and yet you search for Him in the wilderness. ||2||
ਬਹੁਤੁ ਜਨਮ ਭਰਮਤ ਤੈ ਹਾਰਿਓ ਅਸਥਿਰ ਮਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
You have wandered through many many births; you are exhausted but have still not found a way out of this endless cycle.
ਮਾਨਸ ਦੇਹ ਪਾਇ ਪਦ ਹਰਿ ਭਜੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਾਤ ਬਤਾਈ ॥੩॥੩॥
Now that you have obtained this human body, meditate on the Lord's Feet; Nanak advises with this advice. ||3||3|| - ਅੰਗ ੬੩੧, Ang 631

10 - Day 2 - Hukamnama Katha - Bhai Jivanpal Singh Ji - ਹੁਕਮਨਾਮਾ ਕਥਾ

Katha by Bhai Sukhdeep Singh Ji (Basics of Sikhi) of the opening Hukamnama Sahib: 

ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥
Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:
ਇਛਾ ਪੂਰਕੁ ਸਰਬ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਾ ਕੈ ਵਸਿ ਹੈ ਕਾਮਧੇਨਾ ॥
The Lord is the Fulfiller of desires, the Giver of total peace; the Kaamadhaynaa, the wish-fulfilling cow, is in His power.
ਸੋ ਐਸਾ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਮੇਰੇ ਜੀਅੜੇ ਤਾ ਸਰਬ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨਾ ॥੧॥
So meditate on such a Lord, O my soul. Then, you shall obtain total peace, O my mind. ||1||
ਜਪਿ ਮਨ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਦਾ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ॥
Chant, O my mind, the True Name, Sat Naam, the True Name.
ਹਲਤਿ ਪਲਤਿ ਮੁਖ ਊਜਲ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ ਨਿਤ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਹਰਿ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨਾ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
In this world, and in the world beyond, your face shall be radiant, by meditating continually on the immaculate Lord God. ||Pause||
ਜਹ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਭਇਆ ਤਹ ਉਪਾਧਿ ਗਤੁ ਕੀਨੀ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਨਾ ॥
Wherever anyone remembers the Lord in meditation, disaster runs away from that place. By great good fortune, we meditate on the Lord.
ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਉ ਗੁਰਿ ਇਹ ਮਤਿ ਦੀਨੀ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਵਜਲੁ ਤਰਨਾ ॥੨॥੬॥੧੨॥
The Guru has blessed servant Nanak with this understanding, that by meditating on the Lord, we cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||6||12||

ਰਾਗੁ ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਭਗਤ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ ਕੀ ॥
Raag Dhanaasaree, The Word Of Devotee Kabeer Jee:
ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਸਨਕ ਸਨੰਦ ਮਹੇਸ ਸਮਾਨਾਂ ॥
Beings like Sanak, Sanand, Shiva and Shaysh-naaga
ਸੇਖਨਾਗਿ ਤੇਰੋ ਮਰਮੁ ਨ ਜਾਨਾਂ ॥੧॥
- none of them know Your mystery, Lord. ||1||
ਸੰਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਬਸਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
In the Society of the Saints, the Lord dwells within the heart. ||1||Pause||
ਹਨੂਮਾਨ ਸਰਿ ਗਰੁੜ ਸਮਾਨਾਂ ॥
Beings like Hanumaan, Garura, Indra the King of the gods and the rulers of humans
ਸੁਰਪਤਿ ਨਰਪਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਗੁਨ ਜਾਨਾਂ ॥੨॥
- none of them know Your Glories, Lord. ||2||
ਚਾਰਿ ਬੇਦ ਅਰੁ ਸਿੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਪੁਰਾਨਾਂ ॥
The four Vedas, the Simritees and the Puraanas, Vishnu the Lord of Lakshmi
ਕਮਲਾਪਤਿ ਕਵਲਾ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਨਾਂ ॥੩॥
And Lakshmi herself - none of them know the Lord. ||3||
ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਸੋ ਭਰਮੈ ਨਾਹੀ ॥
Says Kabeer, one who falls at the Lord's feet,
ਪਗ ਲਗਿ ਰਾਮ ਰਹੈ ਸਰਨਾਂਹੀ ॥੪॥੧॥
And remains in His Sanctuary, does not wander around lost. ||4||1||
