Sikh Council of Gurdwaras Birmingham Betray the Sikhs

It is well known that only people that believe in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee as the living Guru are Sikhs. Namdharis who are a cult which openly call Guru Ji a book and believe in a human Guru are allowed to have stalls in the Handsworth park mela. On one hand they diss the Sikh Guru and on the other hand they make money out of us. Pritams sweet centre (Namdahri Business) probably make more money on that one day then they do all year round from the sangat. But these are the same people that tell us our father is not our father, so indirectly calling us bastards. Where is our Honour?


The Nazi regime of India has attacked our temples, people, religion and identity for years. They have killed and imprisoned thousands of innocent Sikh civilians. They oppress our people and deny us our human rights, yet in these melas we openly allow the sale of India flags and India T-shirts. Where is out honour? At smethwick mela some clowns dressed up as the Punjab police which hurt Sikh sentiments; because of the crimes commited on the Sikh Nation by the Punjab police in the 1980's to 1990's (Fake police encounters, torture, false confessions, rape and murder)



Last year at both smethick and handsworth melas innocent bystanders were attacked and injured with serious injuries. At smethick 8 youth from a local Muslim gang attacked women, elderly and children. Did the Sikh council provide support or compensation? At handsworth young bystanders were injured in the massive sword fight; were them victims given any support?

At handsworth mela last year bystanders who were only defending themselves against the rampage that occurred were arrested and hit with police batons; was there any compensation to the victims of police brutality?

At handsworth mela, the gang called Aston panthers come in with their dogs and intimidate and humiliate the sangat. They make sexual advances to our sisters and mothers infront of their male-counter parts and make a mockery of the Singhs. Why aren’t tickets sold to allow entrance into the mela?


A year on and no apologies or statements have been made by the Sikh Council of Gurdwaras in Birmingham. We spend 80 thousand pound and what do we have to show apart from disrespect and humiliation. If you want to have a mela, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee should not be present and a more responsible approach is needed. Tickets for entrance should be sold in Gurdwaras etc

We ask all the Sikh Sangat to boycott the Mela until the Sikh Council have agreed not to take Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to the Park. All organisations really need to think twice before they partake in any Seva; because is it really seva that they are doing if disrespect is the outcome?

A refection on beadbi at handsworth mela




S.I.K.H.

Spiritual Inquiry with Khanda & Heart

TIME FOR CHANGE

Handsworth Mela – dishonour, behzti – is this the state of Sikhi???

“Jin Bhe adab na baani dhara, jano so sikh nehi hamara”

“He who has no fear or respect of Gurbani, know that he is not my Sikh.”

(Extract from Sikh Rehatnama)

BEADBI (intentional and unintentional disrespect) of Maharaaj Guru Granth Sahib jee is something that as Sikhs we cannot, and will not tolerate. Currently there is general unrest in the Sikh youth as more importance has been placed on this issue from Sikhs worldwide over recent years.

We don’t take Guru Maharaaj into halls, hotels, pubs and clubs because of our love and respect for Guru ji, but then why do we take maharaaj into a park; where we have no control over the code of conduct in the parks boundaries. Where ever Guru Ji is present on thakt the atmosphere of the boundaries should be the same as a Gurdwara. The same behaviour and activities should be going on as a Gurdwara. Does this happen in the Handsworth Mela?

Even maharaaj Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s horse would not enter a field where tobacco was planted. Yet we annually take saroop’s of Maharaaj Guru Granth Sahib Ji in to an environment where tobacco stubs litter the ground and where people enter under the intoxication of various substances, be it unintentionally, this is something that must be evaluated and changed as there is continued discontent in the Sikh youth.

Do you think it is acceptable to take Maharaaj into areas with rave type atmospheres, loud and noisy music, rides, with inappropriate social interaction, with a non-existent dress code, where people smoke and drink? The problem lies not with the mela in principle but whether or not we are showing true respect for Guru jee. This isn’t even taking into account the recent bad publicity we have received from last years detrimental shenanigans with the “Sikh on Sikh” violence. Just type “vaisakhi mela” and “BBC” into www.youtube.com and see the negative social profiling of Sikhs in the media coverage as well as the camera phone videos of bhangra and Punjabi gang/thug/yob culture. Then think and decide for yourself… Are these really Sikh values? Are we moving forwards? If so towards what? Why are we continually causing confusion between religion and culture?

What is the point of a darbar in Boundaries were corrupt activities are taking place. This is total disrespect to Guru Ji and it is time for the sangat to wake up.

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”

“Do nothing then nothing changes”

“Prevention is better then cures”

With older generations of the Sikh community currently questioning the purpose and actual parchar of a mela, we are merely suggesting careful planning so as the youth and older community members can work together to try to avoid the disrespect and BEADBI that is prevalent in the “Vaisakhi” mela as it is. Please sign up on the petition via the website below to express your concerns towards organizers. Feel free to make comments in an appropriate and civilized manner. Many Thanks…

How melas disrespect Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji?

The R4G used to protest against the taking of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to hotels and bars etc because it was a great disrespect. But Sikh organizations organize these melas; what is the difference between a mela and a hotel?

People smoke in the park.
People sneak in the drink.
People come to the funfair in the mela buzzing.
The people who set up the fun fair are buzzing and always smoke (ignoring the signs).
Islamic extremists wear Karas and target venerable Sikh girls.
Guys and girls are kissing and messing about. The dress sense is outrageous!
Fights break out over stupid things.
It is bhezti and takes the piss out of our community.
These melas bring shame and dishonour to the Sikh people.

All this in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji! What to we gain apart from wasting money which got be used for other causes.

Why just don’t they do a Nagar kirtan without the mela? Even if you want to have a Mela why have Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in the park; were all these activities go on, it is a great disrespect! People that want to listen to Gurbani and kirtan will go back to Gurdwara. The people that just want to mess about will go to the mela. Why mix the two, last year innocent people got stabbed (at handsworth mela); have we still not learned?

The Kara is being used by our enemies!



The Kara is a symbol of Sikh identity; it is of great importance to the practising and even non-practising Sikhs. However they are so readily available in markets and other high street stores that the Kara has become a weapon for the enemies of Sikhs. Non Sikhs are buying them and using them as weapons to beat up Sikhs or deceive Sikh girls. They put on a Kara and use Sikh names in order to date Sikh girls who only date Sikh boys (we are not glorifying dating just mentioning a reality). This in turn can lead to other crimes; such as blackmail and rape upon these innocent victims of deception. There are predator cells of Islamic extremists that prey on Sikh girls and device them luring them into their vicious traps. These traps are made so much easier by the easy availability of the Kara. How stupid can the Sikh nation get, by providing a Sikh symbol as an effective tool to our enemies.

I think we should all concentrate on this issue, either high street shops ask for picture I.D or they stop selling Karas. It is up to the youth to tackle this issue, if you see this happen in your town, approach the shop keeper and tell them your concerns and ask them to stop selling them or tell them to ask for I.D. All internet shops should only sell Karas to payments recieved by Sikh Debit/credit cards.


Prevention is better than cure.
Don nothing then nothing changes.

Seva - Selfless service


Seva is a fundamental and important characteristic of the Sikh nation. Seva is when you help others and expect nothing in return. The Guru Sahibs all partook in seva and famous Sikhs have also based their life upon serving the creation of god.

There is countless type’s of seva; there is no seva too big and no seva too small for a true Sikh. A Sikh of the Guru will serve humanity with humility and will even die fighting for the better of humanity. Thousands and thousands of Sikhs have died on the battlefields fighting against evil-doers and tyrants. In the past death has not even altered Sikhs from doing seva, one example of this is Shaheed bhai Taru Singh ji who was told by the government that he must stop serving Sikh warrior clangs, langar (food). Bhai Taru Singh Ji said you can cut me to pieces but I cannot stop serving the needy and my warrior brothers who are fighting for a just cause against your government. He was martyred due to his unwillingness to stop his seva.

Centre your awareness on seva- and focus your consciousness on the word of the shabad. (Ang 110, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji)

Blessed are that mortal beings, who share the Teachings with others and engages in altruistic services of doing good to others. (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 311)
Worthless is the body that does not do good deeds to others. (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 69)


Every one does different seva’s but as long as you are serving others and benefiting their life for the better and expect nothing back that is seva. Join a charity or simply just go clean the dishes or toilets in the gurdwara.

How many times have you cleaned the Gurdwara toilets ?

How many time have you cleaned the shoes in the Gurdwara?

Toilet and shoe seva get rid of alot of ego

We done Vol 2 and dished that out to a few friends here and there. Some how it reached the net; so then we made vol 3 because of the positive feedback. Vol 1 has not got too much Sikhi issues, its more personal stuff huna. But we keep getting emails, we ain’t got part 1 etc’ so we decided just to make it available on the net.

Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji's Bani


One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: Shalok, Ninth Mehl:

If you do not sing the Praises of the Lord, your life is rendered useless. Says Nanak, meditate, vibrate upon the Lord; immerse your mind in Him, like the fish in the water. ||1||

Why are you engrossed in sin and corruption? You are not detached, even for a moment! Says Nanak, meditate, vibrate upon the Lord, and you shall not be caught in the noose of death. ||2||

Your youth has passed away like this, and old age has overtaken your body.Says Nanak, meditate, vibrate upon the Lord; your life is fleeting away! ||3||

You have become old, and you do not understand that death is overtaking you.Says Nanak, you are insane! Why do you not remember and meditate on God? ||4||

Your wealth, spouse, and all the possessions which you claim as your own none of these shall go along with you in the end. O Nanak, know this as true. ||5||

He is the Saving Grace of sinners, the Destroyer of fear, the Master of the masterless. Says Nanak, realize and know Him, who is always with you. ||6||

He has given you your body and wealth, but you are not in love with Him. Says Nanak, you are insane! Why do you now shake and tremble so helplessly? ||7||

He has given you your body, wealth, property, peace and beautiful mansions. Says Nanak, listen, mind: why don't you remember the Lord in meditation? ||8||

The Lord is the Giver of all peace and comfort. There is no other at all. Says Nanak, listen, mind: meditating in remembrance on Him, salvation is attained. ||9||

Remembering Him in meditation, salvation is attained; vibrate and meditate on Him, O my friend. Says Nanak, listen, mind: your life is passing away! ||10||

Your body is made up of the five elements; you are clever and wise - know this well. Believe it - you shall merge once again into the One, O Nanak, from whom you originated. ||11||

The Dear Lord abides in each and every heart; the Saints proclaim this as true. Says Nanak, meditate and vibrate upon Him, and you shall cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||12||

One who is not touched by pleasure or pain, greed, emotional attachment and egotistical pride says Nanak, listen, mind: he is the very image of God. ||13||

One who is beyond praise and slander, who looks upon gold and iron alike says Nanak, listen, mind: know that such a person is liberated. ||14||

One who is not affected by pleasure or pain, who looks upon friend and enemy alike says Nanak, listen, mind: know that such a person is liberated. ||15||

One who does not frighten anyone, and who is not afraid of anyone else says Nanak, listen, mind: call him spiritually wise. ||16||

One who has forsaken all sin and corruption, who wears the robes of neutral detachment says Nanak, listen, mind: good destiny is written on his forehead. ||17||

One who renounces Maya and possessiveness and is detached from everything says Nanak, listen, mind: God abides in his heart. ||18||

That mortal, who forsakes egotism, and realizes the Creator Lord says Nanak, that person is liberated; O mind, know this as true. ||19||

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Name of the Lord is the Destroyer of fear, the Eradicator of evil-mindedness. Night and day, O Nanak, whoever vibrates and meditates on the Lord's Name, sees all of his works brought to fruition. ||20||
Vibrate with your tongue the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe; with your ears, hear the Lord's Name. Says Nanak, listen, man: you shall not have to go to the house of Death. ||21||

That mortal who renounces possessiveness, greed, emotional attachment and egotism says Nanak, he himself is saved, and he saves many others as well. ||22||

Like a dream and a show, so is this world, you must know.None of this is true, O Nanak, without God. ||23||

Night and day, for the sake of Maya, the mortal wanders constantly. Among millions, O Nanak, there is
scarcely anyone, who keeps the Lord in his consciousness. ||24||

As the bubbles in the water well up and disappear again, so is the universe created; says Nanak, listen, O my friend! ||25||

The mortal does not remember the Lord, even for a moment; he is blinded by the wine of Maya. Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, he is caught by the noose of Death. ||26||
I
f you yearn for eternal peace, then seek the Sanctuary of the Lord. Says Nanak, listen, mind: this human body is difficult to obtain. ||27||

For the sake of Maya, the fools and ignorant people run all around. Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, life passes away uselessly. ||28||

That mortal who meditates and vibrates upon the Lord night and day - know him to be the embodiment of the Lord. There is no difference between the Lord and the humble servant of the Lord; O Nanak, know this as true. ||29||

The mortal is entangled in Maya; he has forgotten the Name of the Lord of the Universe. Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, what is the use of this human life? ||30||

The mortal does not think of the Lord; he is blinded by the wine of Maya. Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, he is caught in the noose of Death. ||31||

In good times, there are many companions around, but in bad times, there is no one at all. Says Nanak, vibrate, and meditate on the Lord; He shall be your only Help and Support in the end. ||32||

Mortals wander lost and confused through countless lifetimes; their fear of death is never removed. Says Nanak, vibrate and meditate on the Lord, and you shall dwell in the Fearless Lord. ||33||

I have tried so many things, but the pride of my mind has not been dispelled. I am engrossed in evil-mindedness, Nanak. O God, please save me! ||34||
Childhood, youth and old age - know these as the three stages of life. Says Nanak, without meditating on the

Lord, everything is useless; you must appreciate this. ||35||

You have not done what you should have done; you are entangled in the web of greed. Nanak, your time is past and gone; why are you crying now, you blind fool? ||36||

The mind is absorbed in Maya - it cannot escape it, my friend. Nanak, it is like a picture painted on the wall - it cannot leave it. ||37||

The man wishes for something, but something different happens. He plots to deceive others, O Nanak, but he places the noose around his own neck instead. ||38||

People make all sorts of efforts to find peace and pleasure, but no one tries to earn pain. Says Nanak, listen, mind: whatever pleases God comes to pass. ||39||
The world wanders around begging, but the Lord is the Giver of all. Says Nanak, meditate in remembrance on
him, and all your works will be successful. ||40||

Why do you take such false pride in yourself? You must know that the world is just a dream. None of this is yours; Nanak proclaims this truth. ||41||

You are so proud of your body; it shall perish in an instant, my friend. That mortal who chants the Praises of the Lord, O Nanak, conquers the world. ||42||

That person, who meditates in remembrance on the Lord in his heart, is liberated - know this well. There is no difference between that person and the Lord: O Nanak, accept this as the Truth. ||43||

That person, who does not feel devotion to God in his mind O Nanak, know that his body is like that of a pig, or a dog. ||44||

A dog never abandons the home of his master. O Nanak, in just the same way, vibrate, and meditate on the Lord, single-mindedly, with one-pointed consciousness. ||45||

Those who make pilgrimages to sacred shrines, observe ritualistic fasts and make donations to charity while still taking pride in their minds O Nanak, their actions are useless, like the elephant, who takes a bath, and then rolls in the dust. ||46||

The head shakes, the feet stagger, and the eyes become dull and weak. Says Nanak, this is your condition. And even now, you have not savored the sublime essence of the Lord. ||47||

I had looked upon the world as my own, but no one belongs to anyone else. O Nanak, only devotional worship of the Lord is permanent; enshrine this in your mind. ||48||

The world and its affairs are totally false; know this well, my friend. Says Nanak, it is like a wall of sand; it shall not endure. ||49||

Raam Chand passed away, as did Raawan, even though he had lots of relatives. Says Nanak, nothing lasts forever; the world is like a dream. ||50||

People become anxious, when something unexpected happens. This is the way of the world, O Nanak; nothing is stable or permanent. ||51||

Whatever has been created shall be destroyed; everyone shall perish, today or tomorrow. O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and give up all other entanglements. ||52||

Animal Sacrifice in Sikhi?


Some so called Sikhs; sacrifice a goat in the name of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. They put the blood on their foreheads as tilaks. The meat is cooked and given out as Prasad; known as mahaprasad. This is done on special occasions; and is a very common practice in India. But it is totally Anti-Gurmat; Sikhi teaches kindness, compassion, humility, truth, righteousness and love. The slaughtering of animals is totally against Sikh principles. The so called Sikhs that do this are tapped in the head to sacrifice an animal in the name of the Guru. Why associate Sikhi and the Guru’s name with such cruel activities; it is so wrong to do so.

What logic and purpose lies in sacrificing an animal?

What is so religious and pure about it?

The goblins/barbarians that want to eat those carcasses of flesh just want to do so for taste and try and make it legitimate in their peanut sized brains by saying it is apart of Sikhi.

Gurmat:

Kabeer, they oppress living beings and kill them, and call it proper. When the Lord calls for their account, what will their condition be? Kabeer, it is tyranny to use force; the Lord shall call you to account.When your account is called for, your face and mouth shall be beaten. Kabeer, it is easy to render your account, if your heart is pure. In the True Court of the Lord, no one will seize you. –Ang 1375 - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Kabeer, to use force is tyranny, even if you call it legal. When your account is called for in the Court of the Lord, what will your condition be then? Kabeer, the dinner of beans and rice is excellent, if it is flavored with salt. Who would cut his throat, to have meat with his bread? -Ang 1374 - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Muslim man killing goats on eid!



Hindu brahmins killing a goat on a religious festival!


The so called Singhs put tilaks like above on their forehead and Nishan Sahib.

Shaheedi


Shaheedi means when a Sikh or a person sacrifices their life for a just and noble cause. It is an act of heroism for the betterment of humanity and one may die fighting for the righteous principles he/she stands for. Bhai Gurdas ji was a close Sikh o Sri Guru Arjan dev Ji, he describes a shaheed (martyr) as a person who has faith and love in the one lord and his creation, but also a person who has valour, fortitude and fearlessness.


Sikhs cherish their shaheeds that gave their lives to uphold the rights of Sikh people as well as general human rights for non-Sikhs. A shaheed has no discrimination; as long as the cause is just the Sikh will take a stand to overcome oppression. Sikhs remember the shaheeds in the Ardas-which is repeated daily by practicing Sikhs. We ask Guru Ji to give as the strength which the shaheeds had. So that when the time comes like past shaheeds we too can resist oppression, even if it means death.


Sikh Gurus not only commanded the Sikhs to make all types of sacrifices for the common welfare of the people. The Gurus made al types of sacrifices for humanity even giving their lives to their cause. A Sikh is to give a tenth of their earnings for a noble-charitable cause. The Langer (free food) for the whole community is just one of the ways in which Sikhs help others (langar is available at every Sikh temple and is open to everybody). Sikhs have carried out immense acts of courage, bravery and died on the battle field against evil-doers. The bhakti (Sikh prayers) give the Sikh a strong spirit which allows them to endure torture, imprisonment and even death, but the Sikh will not alter from the path of righteousness. Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Sri Guru Teg bahadur Ji both laid down their lives for noble causes. These sacrifices gave every Sikh; the desire to follow in the same path of their Guru. Sri Guru Gobind singh ji sent his sons out on the battlefield to fight against the evil-doers.


Death is not an evil; there is a kind of dying which gives permanent life devoid of any pain. For those who fight against tyranny for a noble cause without forgetting the lord, death cannot have any terror for them and their death is approved by god” Sri guru granth sahib Ji.


In sikhi holy war means, a battle between good and evil forces, i.e., the Good stand up for justice, truth, humanity and the evil stand up for crime, cruelty and commit inhumane unjust acts.

“Blessed is the person whose tongue chants the lord’s name and whose mind contemplates holy war” Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

After the Shaheedi of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, his son Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji started the “Dharam yudh” a war to defend truth and justice. The Khalsa army was created, the soldiers are known as God’s warriors, they seek the protection of God and fight for god’s victory. They used the sword when needed; in sikhi the sword represents Gods glory (resistance against evil) as a form of protection for the saints, weak and oppressed.

The True Guru of the SIKHZ!

The Light of Guru Nanak Dev Ji was passed on to Guru Angad Dev Ji; like a candle which lights another candle. This happened until the everlasting Guru; Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.




In 1708 AD at Sri Hazoor Sahib, Nanded with 5 Singhs in the Hazoori (Presence) of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee uttered the following in front of all those present as a command:

Dohra “Agya bhai akal ki tabhi chalayo panth

Sab Sikhan ko hukam hai Guru manyo granth

Guru granth ji manyo pragat guran ki deh

Jo prabh ko millbo chahe khoj shabad meylay

Raj karaga khalsa aqi rahei na koe

Khwar hoe sabh mélange bache saran jo hoeey”

“With the blessing of God the Khalsa Panth was created, all Sikhs have a commandment to believe in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, which is the living embodiment of the 10 Guru’s. If you desire to meet God Worship the Shabad (Verses) of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee.”

The names of the 5 Singh’s were:

1) Baba Gurbaksh Singh Jee, who was martyred fighting against Ahmed Shah Abdali’s forces, his place of martyrdom was behind Sri Akhal Takhat Sahib.
2) Baba Deep Singh Jee Shaheed
3) Pyare Bhai Dharam Singh Jee
4) Bhai Santokh Singh Jee (Sevadar Sri Hazoor Sahib)
5) Bhai Heer Singh Jee (author of Guru Jee’s daily diary)




This is what happened there is not no arguing this, other fakesters just chat waffle because they want the Gurship.

"As the Lord's word comes to me, Lalo, so I deliver it." (Ang 722, SGGSJ)


"The Divine Word is the Guru, and my mind in reflective meditation, the disciple" (Ang 943, SGGSJ).


"The profound and unfathomable 'Shabad' is his Guru and spiritual guide. Without the 'Shabad' the world is gone mad." (Ang 635, SGGS)


'Baani', the Word of God, is the Guru, the Guru is Baani, in 'Baani' is Amrit, the nectar of life." (Ang 982, SGGS)


I myself know not what to say; all I speak is what the Lord commands. (Ang 763, SGGS)


"The Divine Scripture (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji) is the meeting place where one can meet the Transcendent Lord God." (Ang 1226, SGGS)



Dont believe the waffle going on out here!


Example of some wafflers!

This joker who looks like Ghandi with a beard claims to be the Sikh Guru. Where were you in 84 muppet. Go back and play with your barbies.



This fatso claims the same thing, He looks like a Little fat Battyman! Some one tell him to shut up and go back to his gay partner.

The meaning of the Ardass

Ardass-Supplication (Means Earnest prayer)

A devout Sikh performs the ardass at least twice. The Ardass is also performed at the start of important tasks. In order to receive Gods blessing; Ardass is to be performed standing with palms together (Showing humility).

Below is an English translation of a very brief Ardass:

God is one, all victory is of God.

May the respected sword, god in the form of destroyer of evil-doers help us, recited by the tenth Guru!

First remember the sword, then remember and Guru Nanak, then remember Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das and Guru Ram Das, may they help us!

Remember Guru Arjan, Guru Hargobind and respected Gur Har Ria! Remember Guru Har krishan, by having the sight of, all pains vanish. Remember Guru Teg Bahadur, and then the nine sources of wealth will come hastening to your home!

Oh respected Gurus please help us everywhere, May the kind respect tenth Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji assist us everywhere!

Think and meditate upon the divine light of the ten Kings contained in the respected Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and turn your thoughts to the divine teachings and get pleasure by the sight of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji! Utter Waheguru.

Think and remember the deeds of the five beloved ones, of the four sons of Sri Gobind Singh Ji, of the forty Martyrs (redeemed ones), of the brave Sikhs of indomitable determination, of the devotees steeped in the colour of the naam, of those absorbed in the naam, of those who remembered the naam and shared their food in companionship, of those who started free kitchens, of those who wielded their swords for truth and justice, of those who overlooked others short-comings, and all the pure and truly devoted ones! Utter Waheguru.

Think of remember the service of the brave Sikhs, who sacrificed their heads but did not surrender their Sikhi, who got themselves cut to pieces from the joints of their body, who got their scalps removed, who were tied and rotated on the spiked wheels and were crashed to pieces, who were cut by saws, who were flayed alive, who sacrificed themselves to upkeep the dignity of the gurdwaras, and who did not abandon their sikhi, who kept their hair until their last breath! Utter Waheguru

Turn your thoughts to the five seats of the Sikh religion and all other Gurdwaras, Utter Waheguru First the entire respected khalsa make this supplication that may they meditate on your name, may all pleasures and comfort comes through such mediation, where-ever respected Khalsa is present, give your protection and grace, may the free kitchen and sword never fail, maintain the honour of your devotees, confer victory on the panth, may the respected sword come to our assistance, may the khalsa always get honours, Utter Waheguru! Kindly confer upon the Sikhs the gift of Sikhi, the gift of long hair, the gift of observing Sikh laws, the gift of divine knowledge, the gift of firm faith, the gift of belief and the biggest gift of naam and of having bath in the respected tank of nectar, O God! May the choirs, mansions and the banners exist forever, May the truth forever triumph, utter Waheguru!


May the minds of all the Sikhs remain Humble and their wisdom exalted, O God! You are the protector of wisdom, O immortal God the constant helper of his Sikhs, kindly confer the gift of visiting, maintaining, controlling and worshipping without any restrictions, the Gurdwara of Nankana sahib Ji and other Gurdwaras which the Khalsa has been deprived of. O true Father Waheguru, you are the shelter of the shelter- less, the honour of the meek, the power of the helpless ones, we humbly make a prayer in your presence.

Kindly pardon our errors and shortcomings, kindly fulfil the objectives of all, kindly cause us to meet the true devotees, by meeting whom , we remember your name, o God threw Guru Nanak may your name be exalted and may all prosper according to your will. The Khalsa belongs to God, the Victory is Gods.










The Ardas is very Panthic; even though most Sikhs read it everyday they don't seem to have a Panthic bone in their body. I think we overlook the meaning of the Arads and just seem to be lip reading such a powerful prayer!
