Japji Sahib - By Sikh Touch

Dukh Bhanjani sahib ji  Bhai Gurpreet Singh Ji Shimla .mp3

Guru Amar Das ji warns us about allowing people to fill our head with negativity against others. 

Bhai Baljit Singh goes through how we often get caught up in petty arguments that turn into something bigger, which often happens with the people we share our lives with. Many of times we end up speaking to people about our problems that are stuck in situations in their own lives leading to a negative outcome. Bhai Baljit Singh gives an example from his own life how he was guided by a Saint to be very selective about who he decides to spill his heart to. 

Guru Amar Das ji tells us that The Guru knows your inner-state, fall at the Guru’s feet and The Guru will guide you.

Petty Arguments | 29th April | Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama | Bhai Baljit Singh

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji taking it upon themselves brings our attention to how we get tired of instructing our mind and how it also doesn’t take on any advice. Instead it remains in the loophole of the same habits. Guru ji uses a famous example about how a dog's tail cannot be straightened, in the same way we do not change our ways. 

Bhai Baljit Singh helps us to understand how habits are formed and how to become conscious of the sequence a habit works in. Most often we are unaware of certain habits and go about living our life unconsciously but receiving the wisdom of something is like shining a light on it which helps us to make conscious decisions.

Understanding Habits | 30th April | Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama | Bhai Baljit Singh

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/aaICXETOEe8

Guru Arjun Dev Ji gives us some examples of how we may go through extreme physical difficulties & suffering but tells us that the worst suffering of all is the mental suffering of anxiety. 

Guru Ji tells us that the only way out of this suffering is meditating on the Name of God taking us beyond the ego.

Bhai Baljit Singh tells a beautiful Sakhi towards the end of the Katha about an incident that took place with Baba Amar Das Ji whilst bringing water back in a metal pitcher for Guru Angad Dev Ji.

Guru Arjun Dev Ji reminds us about the beautiful nature of Vaheguru Ji (God). Vaheguru Ji’s nature is forever compassionate & forgiving, not taking into account our merits or faults Vaheguru Ji embraces us like a loving mother. 

Bhai Baljit Singh goes through the Sakhi (true story) of a very bright, intelligent Raj-Pandit (Royal Brahmin Priest) who came to be known as Ajaamal the Sinner (Ajaamal Papi). This Sakhi gives us all hope that it’s never too late and Vaheguru Ji will take us in no matter how much luggage of faults we are carrying.

#0 All things Guru Nanak Dev Ji | Basics of Sikhi Podcast

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Z3CFcV3LpNM

Before undertaking tasks, we often take in to consideration ‘what others might say, what others might think’. This was prevalent in the time of Guru Angad Dev Ji just as much as it is now. When Guru Ji was given the Gur Gaddi (Guru’s throne), Mata Khivi Ji took up the immense seva (selfless service) of feeding the congregation that came to visit Guru Ji. In this video, Bibi Gurprit Kaur describes how Mata Khivi Ji went against the stigma of the time and unwaveringly carried out the seva of Langar (free communal food), because her Guru’s happiness was more important than anything else.

ਬਲਵੰਡ ਖੀਵੀ ਨੇਕ ਜਨ ਜਿਸੁ ਬਹੁਤੀ ਛਾਉ ਪਤ੍ਰਾਲੀ ॥
balvandd kheevee nek jan jis bahutee chhaao patraalee |
Balwand says that Khivi, the Guru's wife, is a noble woman, who gives soothing, leafy shade to all.

ਲੰਗਰਿ ਦਉਲਤਿ ਵੰਡੀਐ ਰਸੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਖੀਰਿ ਘਿਆਲੀ ॥
langar daulat vanddeeai ras amrit kheer ghiaalee |
She distributes the bounty of the Guru's Langar; the kheer - the rice pudding and ghee, is like sweet ambrosia.

In this series, Bibi Gurprit Kaur shines light on some of the many key Bibia (women) in Sikh history who instilled the highest virtues in Sikhi and because of their actions, the Khalsa Panth flourishes today. Watch this short 5 video series to learn about these five blessed Mothers of the Panth and may Guru Ji bless us to implement the qualities into our life. 🙏

Mata Khivi Ji | Mothers of the Panth | By Bibi Gurprit Kaur

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jQOBgesbC0I

Our previous generations emigrated to the west in the worst conditions of racism, poverty and having next to no religious rights. They fought in the world wars, and also worked hard, as a result building a positive reputation. Sikhs earned the rights that we appreciate today that protect the likes of the Kirpan and the Sikh identity. They built Gurdware (Sikh temples) around the world and have left our generation with a great foundation to build on. Unfortunately our generation have failed in our job to protect our Gurdware and push the Khalsa Panth forward. We are stuck in remembering the legacies of the past rather than making history now.

In this extremely powerful, inspiring and hard hitting talk, Bhai Jagraj Singh discusses where we have gone wrong and what we need to do to flourish, using a Shabad (hymn) of Guru Amar Das Ji.

ਹਸਤੀ ਸਿਰਿ ਜਿਉ ਅੰਕਸੁ ਹੈ ਅਹਰਣਿ ਜਿਉ ਸਿਰੁ ਦੇਇ ॥ 
hastee sir jio ankas hai aharan jio sir de |
The elephant offers its head to the reins, and the anvil offers itself to the hammer;
ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਆਗੈ ਰਾਖਿ ਕੈ ਊਭੀ ਸੇਵ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ 
man tan aagai raakh kai oobhee sev kare |
just so, we offer our minds and bodies to our Guru; we stand before Him, and serve Him.
