Emperor Shah Jahan, known mainly for the Taj Mahal, also had his encounters with Sikhi. Watch this video to find out more!

Once, Shah Jahan heard a Sikh singing the Bani of Asa Di Vaar. Shah Jahan was taken back by the words that should God cast such a glance, a king can be made to eats grass. Staying true to the Guru, the Sikh explained how this was possible.

Bhai Harman Singh tells the story of how Shah Jahan was later captured by his son, Aurangzeb and how a king of many riches became a beggar who had to eat straight from the fields.

ਨਦਰਿ ਉਪਠੀ ਜੇ ਕਰੇ ਸੁਲਤਾਨਾ ਘਾਹੁ ਕਰਾਇਦਾ ॥
nadar upatthee je kare sultaanaa ghaahu karaaendaa |
If he should cast an angry glance, He can transform kings into blades of grass.

This video is a short clip taken from the Asa Di Vaar series by Bhai Harman Singh. To watch the full video, click here: https://youtu.be/BLYvy9UeTjA

This video is part of the Asa Di Vaar Series:
Asa Di Vaar is collection of ballads/stanzas and is usually sung before sun rise in the beautiful Raag Asa. Written by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Angad Dev Ji and Guru Raam Das Ji, the Bani (prayer) praises the wondrous creation and condemns hypocrisy. Many Gursikhs (Sikhs of the Guru) recite this Bani as part of their Nitnem (Daily Sikh Prayers), as it is a practical guideline for life. Be sure to watch this amazing 24 part series, and by implementing these practical teachings, you can be released from the 8.4 million cycles of life and merge with the One.
