'Think before you speak' is a common saying, but do we practise it?

In this video, Bhai Harman Singh goes through a historical story told by Guru Gobind Singh Ji on how a weaver walks from village to village saying things without thinking about what he is saying. Each time he visits another village, he recites words without considering who he is speaking to. Watch this video to find out what happens! It's a funny one!

This video is a short clip taken from the Asa Di Vaar series by Bhai Harman Singh. Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/SSXru9FrYCU

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.

Celebrating 400 years of the Parkash Purab (coming into the world) of the 9th Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, Basics of Sikhi presents this beautiful Gurbani Kirtan of Salok Mahalla 9.

Salok Mahalla 9 are letters written by the ninth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji in 1675 whilst being imprisoned in Delhi, India.

These letters were sent to the Sikhs in Sri Anandpur Sahib, including their mother, Mata Nanaki Ji, their wife, Mata Gujri Ji and their son, Sri Gobind Rai Ji, after the martyrdom of their three beloved Sikhs, Bhai Mati Das Ji, Bhai Sati Das Ji and Bhai Dayala Ji.

These letters epitomise Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s true state of detachment and emphasise the precious opportunity given to us in this life to connect to Vaheguru Ji.

Kirtan sung by Bhai Arjan Singh & Bibi Mehima Kaur - May Guru Sahib keep them in Chardi Kala (High Spirits).

In great detail and with so much love, Bhai Baljit Singh has translated and explained all of Salok Mehalla 9. Check out the video here: https://bit.ly/3iSYKhU

Many of us will find our thing to serve the Creator’s creation but the essence behind 'the thing' is love. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s sacrifice came from love. What is love? Love is beyond discrimination, love has no boundaries, love is desire-less and love is beyond attachment. Where there is love, there is effortless service. 

During this program Bhai Baljit Singh explains how to embrace your gift with humility & always remain grateful. If you're feeling lost, then put a forward a heartfelt plea (Ardaas) to Vaheguru (God) & beg for direction.

An animated true story about the Shaheedi (martyrdom) of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj (The 5th Guru of The Sikhs).

Around 1606, Guru Arjan Dev Ji was asked to accept a marriage between Their son (Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji) and the daughter of Chandu, who was a minster for the mughal Emperor, Jahangir. On refusal, Chandu grew furious and plotted his revenge.

Guru Amar Das Ji tells us that that Sikh who walks in the Will of The Guru is my friend, relative & sibling. Let’s take inspiration from the beautiful Sakhi of Baba Amar Das Ji’s meeting with Angad Dev ji for the first time as a Sikh & Bhai Lehna Ji meeting Guru Nanak Dev Ji for the first time. 

Bhai Baljit Singh goes through how Baba Amar Das Ji’s humility was beyond words. Even though Baba Amar Das Ji was 25 years older then Guru Angad Dev Ji they gave them so much respect that one time when they were walking together Baba Amar Das Ji’s arm passed Guru Angad Dev Ji’s body. Baba Ji felt that they had disrespected their Guru, and to punish themselves they stopped using that arm. When Guru Angad Dev Ji found out that Baba ji hasn’t used their arm, they called for them and said, “I honour your love and devotion but you don’t need to be so hard on yourself and must start using your arm again”.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji tells us when we don’t live in loving fear of Vaheguru Ji (God) we become heavy with sins and drown in this world ocean. 

Bhai Baljit Singh explains how embracing positive fear for Vaheguru Ji helps us to live with a heightened awareness of every physical action we do, the words we speak, the thoughts we have, even the emotions we experience. Embracing positive fear means taking control of your life instead of living in autopilot not being conscious of the consequences.

ਸੋਰਠਿ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥
Sorat'h, First Mehla:
ਜਿਨੑੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਤਿਨੑ ਕੇ ਸਾਥ ਤਰੇ ॥
Those who serve the True Guru, O Beloved, their companions are saved as well.
ਤਿਨੑਾ ਠਾਕ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਰਸਨ ਹਰੇ ॥
No one blocks their way, O Beloved, and the Lord's Ambrosial Nectar is on their tongue.
ਬੂਡੇ ਭਾਰੇ ਭੈ ਬਿਨਾ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਤਾਰੇ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ॥੧॥
Without the Fear of God, they are so heavy that they sink and drown, O Beloved; but the Lord, casting His Glance of Grace, carries them across. ||1||
