Thanks so much for this! I totally agree; to ask for the strength and willingness to be at peace with the Universe's ways - to accept His 'bhaana' - is the greatest prayer (ardaas) of all. In addition to this, 'ardaas' can take many forms, as it is simply a spilling out of all internal dialogue, to the Universe - it is a conversation with God. Ardaas can take place at any time and place, and need not always take the form of the formal ardaas discussed here. As humans, we are full of emotions, anxieties, excitements, etc., and knowing that we can talk about these to someone who is always listening, is such a blessing. And doing so, gives us solace. And I believe that upon hearing our ardaas, Vaheguru Ji helps our situation in whatever way is right; our ardaas never goes unheard. And because as humans, we don't have the power to do anything ourselves, ardaas is our greatest weapon - it is the way in which we can confide in our creator, knowing that he is all-knowing! Ultimately, I think doing ardaas is simply us reminding ourselves that the Universe is taking care of us... How intriguing!
Your teaching truly helped me to understand that my prayer was so self centered. I should pray for reconciliation, reconcile me to the ultimate path and give me the strength to walk the straight path. Thank you!
True,my ardaas daily to waheguru is do whatever you want good or bad, just keep my morale high , always keep me in chardikala,teh Apne charni layi Rakhi,
very nice sir i as a hindu i want to promote dhyana and meditation and yoga in the world you are doing exactly the same spirituality you are promoting so thankyou so much thankyou i am still learning and i am compassionate aboit every soul you are trying to heal let them rise from pain waheguru waahey guru
I listened to you and kind of had my mind blown. I thought, what, really? Is this what Ardas could be? And now genuinely reading it I don't know how I missed it before. Excellent video and excellent channel, I feel you give the most honest and productive account of what is most important in Sikhi.
How should I thank you.... wrds become limited when it comes to show gratitude to the Guru and his sikhs. Once in a life, I really really want to meet you. Thank you
Thank you for your beautiful teachings paji. My baba ji taught us, all grandkids, gurbani & this from infant age. Its true. So much love for your teachings. Wah
🙏 SSA ji, I believe that Ardas is the way to connect to almighty, if we are already programmed what is happened to us and what would be our actions, then there is no need to connect with God. As I heard is we can change our destiny by connecting with God.

I'm glad that I found this video. The best part said by you .. "Just get in line so you can also walk the path , just like all the Gurus did". You have cleared so many doubts that arisen in me regarding the explaination of "Ardas". And See what has been said by "Sikhwiki" regarding the Ardas , the meanings what Sikhwiki is providing , I don't agree upon these meanings because it just saying to meditate upon all the Guru's one by one , but why Guru will tell us to meditate upon the Guru's?.. We have to meditate upon the "True Naam" and not on Guru's , or maybe i misunderstood sikhwiki explaination .. What you say? See the Explaination , The ardas begins: ਅਰਦਾਸ: ੴ ਵਾਹਿਗਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹਿ ॥ ਸਰੀ ਭਗੌਤੀ ਜੀ ਸਹਾਇ ॥ ਵਾਰ ਸਰੀ ਭਗੌਤੀ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦॥ Ardaas, Ekh-oonkaar Vaaheguroo jee kee Fat'eh. Sree Bhagautee jee Sahaa-e; vaar Sree Bhagautee jee kee Paat'shaahee D'assveen Plea: One God, Victory belongs to Waheguru. The sacred Bhagauti pervails; Ode to the Bhagauti by the tenth master After first contemplating the one Primal Power of the Almighty, Ek- Onkar, Waheguru, the ardas continues with: Call to the mind Guru Nanak. Then let your mind dwell on Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das and Guru Ram Das, may they watch over us. Meditate in remembrance upon Guru Arjan, Guru Hargobind and Sri Har Rai. Dwell upon Guru Har Krishan, seeing whom all sufferings shall depart. Meditate in remembrance upon Guru Tegh Bahadar, and the nine treasures shall hasten to your home. May they protect and help us everywhere. And the Tenth Master Guru Gobind Singh Jee, father of the Khalsa who has blessed us with the gift of Amrit - may we enjoy his protection everywhere…
+harpreet singh Gurfateh Ji, This is a very common translation which mentions remembering each Guru individually. So it cannot be said that it is wrong. Only some of the older translations of Chandi Di Vaar (where the beginning verse of the Ardas comes from) translate it as mentioned in this video. Either way, we have to remember that in Sikhi we only view the Guru as Shabadh/Wisdom, which means that we do not worship the Guru's physical body in Human form, but rather we see all the Gurus as a personification of the One Divine.
But there is no need to remember each Guru Sahib one by one in Meditation. When we meditate on "Waheguru" that covers everything. I know there are references from the Gurbani only that tells Guru and God is same. And I will not say that this is wrong but according to my understanding no need to meditate on Guru's.If this is so then why not remember every Enlightened Being on this earth ? .. Buddha , Mahavira , Krishna , Jesus etc. And I'm talking about all Guru's names and not on a particular word Guru. Guru is already covered in Waheguru. So no need to remember any by their names. That's my point.
Wow thank you so much for this detailed description! Im trying very hard to connect with the divine Waheguru ji and get rid of this Maya.. Starting with Ardas is a great idea and you helped me so much. Thank you so much Wjkk Wjkf
Noorneet Sahota you cannot connect with waheguru by penance as you suggest.. you just have to walk the path of the sword without expecting or even in the remotest corner of your mind have any expectation.. that is what I gather from this katha.. ty
Ardas creates faith, faith creates devotion, devotion creates bhagti and bhagti leads to the brahm awastha that gives us the mentality and state of mind of Vin Boleya Sab Kich Janda.
Hi, really good videos looking forward to future ones. Insightful videos about the self and how we build up a fortress. The only thing I noticed was that you have BoS under the channel section which is really good, i've been following them and its been helpful in learning more about Sikhi. Not sure about that OSHO channel saw a few weird videos, e.g about the mystic talking about marriage and children - he was saying some pretty strange (un-gurmat) stuff... it may be best to review if you want that under that section. Thanks and keep up the gd work
+Aran Z Thanks for your comment. I have always held the view that where there is something positive that we can learn from someone then we should. Anything negative we should discard. I have learned a lot of useful things from Osho, especially his Katha on Jap Ji Sahib. So this is why I have shared his channel. Thanks
Your videos are really deep. They are thought changing. But for some reason I usually feel sad and cry listening to your teachings. Like I don't understand any of your videos. Maybe its my ego but I feel like I'm nothing and not worthy to be following this path because I don't know anything.
Mere ly har roz gurudwara jana possible nei aa kyo ki mere city ch koi gurudwara nei aa but main apne ghare nitnem path kardi aa , te ghare kida kariye ardas?
@nanaknaam many people describe ardas as a "plea" - like a humble request. Without a more in depth translation of each line of ardas, I'm finding it hard to understand. Especially when looking at other translations online. I can appreciate that when keeping in line of not asking for more and more, we must accept the hukam - I'm just sat here trying to write down my translations and this one has me puzzled!! Please help :) Thank you. WJKKWJKF
Phaji I have a question… when doing an Ardas should one remove their shoes and cover their head, when not in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib ji i.e. at a milni or at a funeral?
Wahaguru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahaguru Ji Ki Fateh SSA uncle Ji is the Vasu bhardwaj story true that a light came out of the bani and went towards him and cured his cancer, is their evidence and medical reports he did have cancer and got cured please answer back uncle Ji
Gurbani does not believe in miracles. Period. Everything happens because of His Hukam - "Hukmeh ander sab koh bahar hukam nah koay". Guru Angad Sahib Ji, Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, Guru Gobind Singh Ji could have used miracles if they wanted to, BUT that would have been going against the Hukam of Akal Purakh. So whatever happens beyond your understanding, is Hukam and not miracle.
he two people ardas for it to rain or not to rain well they are not going to be in the same area so it will rain for the person and for the other person it wont rain and they might be in different countries
Sin is universal problem. Sin is ubiquitous. Humanity contaminated by sin. Sin in us by default, not learnt, not taught. Sin manifests in many forms - evil, crime. Sin is the opium. The origin of sin is unanswered. My journey. Sin is pre-existing in all. Nobody taught us to sin. Sin pre-dates The Bible. The Bible explains origins of sin. The Bible provides remedy for pre-existing sin, through Jesus Christ death and resurrection. The Bible is best selling book in the world for this reason. Sin is real, The Bible is relevant. Sin is born at every child birth. Sin is disease of heart, and Jesus Christ is the cure. Satan is the enemy, came to steal, kill and destroy. Misleads us to blame good loving God. God is not the author of evil. Media, Police, Defense, Judiciary, Penitentiary, Security, Contracts confirm sin exists. The origins of life, natural laws, sin, morals, purpose, meaning, conscience, music, creativity, intelligence, beauty, color, nature, water, air, light and amalgamation, remain unevidenced - elsewhere. We love truth when it enlightens us, but hate when it convicts us. Instructing to "Heart wash" from sin is not "Brainwash". God created universe, placed natural laws, made humans in His image, gave talents, instructed to multiply and explore - The Initiation of Science. Science is the legitimate child of natural laws. Without natural laws science has no foundation. We are created with good purpose and meaning. We are good. Then sin entered through satan and we all fallen. Disease, despair, deformities, deficiencies, depression, stress, guilt, greed, hate, anger, rebellious spirit, spiritual death entered. Sin plays spoilsport. Unloose the Soul from the tight knot of sin. Soul outlasts death. Sinners cannot save themselves from sin. Jesus Christ, the Holy God, intervened, willingly died on The Cross and resurrected, for remmissions of our sins, to save us from sin and hell. We are weak at the core, however we try to portray otherwise. We need Holy God's help, who is willing to help with open arms. Unable to find any motive any reason for Jesus Christ to die willingly on Cross and resurrect - except His love to save us from pre-existing sin and hell. Nobody died for our sins and resurrected - except Jesus Christ. Exclusivity Jesus Christ claimed: "I am The Way, The Truth and The Life". "I am The Resurrection and The Life". "I am The Good Shepherd". Jesus Christ has the authority to forgive sins. Religion says "Do". Jesus Christ says "Done". Religion is man's attempts to 'search gods'. Jesus Christ came from heaven in 'search of man'. Salvation from sin and hell is not earned through works or deeds or pilgrimages or rituals or ceremonies or traditions or cultures or meditations or public displays or hypocrisy or making personal sacrifices or making animal sacrifices. Salvation from sin and hell is free, but not cheap. Because Jesus Christ laid His life on The Cross, and resurrected. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. Just like a parent loves child, but hates disease in child. We are saved by God's grace, not by our works. Karma is getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we don't deserve. Only Grace can be pre-fixed with word Amazing. Amazing Grace. Karma is not Amazing, it is depressing. GRACE: Getting what we don't deserve - i.e. forgiveness of sin, eternity in heaven through Jesus Christ. MERCY: Not getting what we deserve - i.e. punishment of sin, separation from God, eternity in hell. Other side of death is eternity. Either in hell; or in heaven through Jesus Christ. God offers grace and mercy for free through Jesus Christ death and resurrection. Jesus Christ suffered, ridiculed, spat-on, humiliated, crucified on The Cross, and therefore He understands our pain. He raised victorious, we will too. Those who endure till end are victorious. Jesus Christ coming again to judge all. The doors will be closed. Jesus Christ reveals every mystery, answers every question. We all deserve to know the truth. He is The Alpha and The Omega. He judges everyone. One day every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. The First Christmas - Jesus Christ came to earth from heaven to save us from pre-existing sin. The First Good Friday - Jesus Christ crucified to The Cross, died willingly for remission of our sins. The First Resurrection Day, also linked to Easter - Jesus Christ resurrected from death. Jesus Christ made entry to Holy Heaven free through Him. Repent of sin and be saved. Easy. The First Coming of Jesus Christ - He is Lamb, slaughtered for remission of sins to save us from sin and hell. And resurrected. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ - He will be Lion, The Judge. The Lamb and The Lion. Jesus Christ forgave all who crucified Him, and now forgives all, even who reject, ridicule and mock Him. He loves all unconditionally. Believe, trust, repent of pre-existing sin in Jesus Christ that He died for remission of our sins and resurrected, and coming back to judge, accept Him as Lord and Saviour, and be saved from sin and hell. Any time, any where. Even now. Simple. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. I found God loved me regardless of sins, weaknesses and rejections by others. As sinner I cannot save myself through deeds. He believed me and has faith in me. I am not in competition with others. God loves you all, individually. (My journal. Journey to life - after testing all 'isms' and religions, after failing to find origins, purpose and meaning of life, after swallowing pride, egos, anger, hate, depression.)
Nice .... But Universe , Multiverses , Parallel Unverses or Millions of Universes Ardas is done to Creator ( Almighty Lord Akaalpurkh ) of Infinite Universes .
Ek OnKar means One God does it not ?.you talk rubbish mate . The universe was created by WaheGuru Ji not by Guru Nanak and GuruNanak and All the Gurus said you should connect with WaheGuruJi and whatever happens between you and WaheGuruJi will happen only if WaheGuruJi wills it to happen
Bhaugati means sword. Period. Pls do not kid yourself nor mislead the innocent. I liken your interpretation as the "Blind leading the Blind." Bhaugati refers to Durga the Hindu Goddess. The whole ardas is lifted from Markandeh Puran, a Hindu text. So in the Ardas it says Pray to Durga FIRST, and it is mentioned not once but 3 times. Then only think about Guru Nanak after praying to Durga first. To understand Gurbani, use Gurbani and look for the contextual meaning of Bhaugati. The SGGS Ji will confirm that the word Bhaugati used in the Ardas is Durga and nothing else.Repent before it is too late.By the way what is that emblem that you have affixed on your turban. For those who do not know it is not the Khanda but a Hindu emblem. Don't believe me, look at it carefully and compare it to a Khanda.
You claim that "Bhagauti" refers to Durga in "chandi di vaar". But if you continue reading "chandi di vaar", you will notice that Guru gobind singh ji says, "durga picked the Bhagauti in her hand". LOL so does this mean that the guru is saying that durga held herself in her own hand?? LOL. The answer is NO! "Bhagauti" refers to the sword. Therefore, guru gobind singh ji does NOT call out to durga before calling to Guru Nanak and the other gurus in the ardas, but rather the guru calls out to the sword. NOT Durga.
And there is a story behind why guru gobind singh ji calls out to "bhagauti" (sword) before he calling out to the other gurus. Here it is: In a certain place in india in the time of Guru Nanak dev ji, the mughal king "Babur" had attacked. Just before attacking this news had reached the hindus of that area that "Babur" has attacked or is going to attack. Then, the hindus of that area went to their hindu temples and prayed to their hindu gods and goddesses to protect them from the islamic king "Babur". The hindu priests said to the people, "do not worry, we will recite a certain prayer/mantra which will turn the army of Babur blind and they will not be able to harm us". Hearing this, the people of that area got happy and trusted the priests to actually stop Babur and his army from attacking. So they never got ready to fight, they never took out any weapons , with the foolish hope that the hindu priests will actually stop the army of Babur simply by reciting a mantra (prayer). What happen then is that, Babur and his army attack and kill all the people (lol) and the priests could not do anything though their superstitious practices which they thought will benefit them. Guru Nanak dev ji talks about this and says, "none of the mughals became blind, no one could perform miracles". Therefore, putting all this together, this is the reason why Guru Gobind singh ji calls out to the "bhaguti" (sword) before he calls out to the other gurus. It is because it represents the fact that the sword is essential to fight against injustice, and simply doing unless rituals will NOT benefit. This is JUST ONE of the stories behind why Guru Gobind singh ji gives importance to the sword. Because if the people of that area had took out a sword against the mughal army instead of just sitting down like morons peforming rituals with the hope that the army will turn blind, they would have actually been able to save themselves or at least they could have protected themselves somewhat . Thus guru ji gives importance to the sword and calls out to it before calling out to other gurus in Ardas. He does NOT call out to Durga.
It must be understood that Sikhism points these stories out from chandi di vaar simply as stories to learn from. Durga is NOT made an object of worship. If the guru was calling out to Durga, then can you explain why did guru ji give Durga such a low status in Guru granth sahib ji?? I gave you references from Guru Granth Sahib Ji above which basically depict Durga as an ordinary creation and nothing more. Therefore, Guru Granth Sahib JI is very very VERY clear that Durga is nothing special and should not be worshiped. Chandi di vaar on the other hand highlights how nothing is beyond the almighty God and if any deities / beings with divine powers exist or existed, they are solely God’s creation, and it is to show that women are able to do same stuff as men as well such as fighting on battlefield.
Durga is NOT supposed to be worshipped in sikhism. Sikhism is against the worship of durga. Durga is NOT given importance in sikhism. Therefore, your claim that, "sikhs call out to Durga", is complete and utter nonsense. I have proof which I will provide.
Durga is NOT given significance in sikhism. Here is the evidence from our scriptures: ਚਰਨ ਸਰਨਿ ਜਿਹ ਬਸਤ ਭਵਾਨੀ ॥ Charn Sarni Jih Basata Bhavaanee ॥ The goddess Durga takes refuge at His (God's) Feet and abides there. ਅਕਾਲ ਉਸਤਤਿ - ੫/੨ - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ (end of quote) In the above quote, the guru says that Durga is just an ordinary creation of God and she takes refuge at his (God's) feet. This quote shows she is not given any importance in sikhism and is described as a mere creation and servant of the Almighty God. ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਰੁਦ੍ਰ ਉਪਾਇ ਖਪਾਏ ॥ Barhama Rudar Aupaaei Khpaaee ॥ He (GOD) hath created and destroyed Brahmas and Rudras (Shivas). ਅਕਾਲ ਉਸਤਤਿ - ੬/੨ - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ (end quote) In the above quote, the guru again speaks of hindu gods and says they are just creations of the one true Almighty God and they even get destroyed by the one Almighty God. They are NOT given importance in sikhism either.
Reality check: The Ardas is copied from Chandi Di Vaar which is a composition in the Bachittar Natak (Magnificient DRAMA). Chandi Di Vaar's origin is from Markanday Purana. Chandi refers to Durga and her other names are Bhagauti etc. So in the Ardas, Sikhs pray first to Durga (3 times) before they focus their thoughts on the teachings of Guru Nanak. My recommendation for every Sikh is do your own research and studies. Sikhism is a universal way of life and jogging on the same spot will not help!! We need to use our mental faculties to decipher critically what is being said by these so called preachers!!
Durga is NOT supposed to be worshipped in sikhism. Sikhism is against the worship of durga. Durga is NOT given importance in sikhism. Therefore, your claim that, "sikhs call out to Durga", is complete and utter nonsense. I have proof which I will provide.

They are NOT given importance in sikhism either.
Here is more proof from sikh scriptures that we do NOT worship Durga or give her any significance: ਦੁਰਗਾਕੋਟਿਜਾਕੈਮਰਦਨੁਕਰੈ॥ Millions of Durga goddesses massage His Feet. (Sahib Shri Guru Granth Sahib, Ang 1162) This verse is saying that millions of Durgas massage God's Feet hence why Durga is not considered important in the Sikh religion. .
sikhism promotes gender equality and encourages women to take an equal and leading role in all walks of life - including on the battlefield. In the Sikh composition ‘Chandi di vaar’, Durga is used as an example of the power of a woman on the battlefield. She is depicted slaying demons and overcoming her evil enemies. Even the greatest of deities such as Indra bow to her. This is merely used as an inspirational example rather than making Durga an object of worship.
Although I'm not Sikh, I've just started to receive so much clarity thanks to your teachings. Expressing my sincere appreciation. Thank you.

Beautifully explained
Thanks lot of clarity here. Your channel is the way forward
🙏 SSA ji, I believe that Ardas is the way to connect to almighty, if we are already programmed what is happened to us and what would be our actions, then there is no need to connect with God. As I heard is we can change our destiny by connecting with God. Whatever is coming in our way that will come but with our good karma and gurbani and doing ARDAS to our almighty we can change the impact.
Example if I would have fight or something at high level but with the power of gurbani the impact will be super low. Whatever is happening would happen but it's impact will be not that high if we have faith on God and we do the prayer.
Your parchar is God but as you speak, it gives the direction that nothing will goes change.. love the God is Good, trust the is also good but the believe that he is with us and also listen our request is and helping us to achieve is also a right direction.
This is amazing,so deep and powerfull

Plea: One God, Victory belongs to Waheguru. The sacred Bhagauti pervails; Ode to the Bhagauti by the tenth master
After first contemplating the one Primal Power of the Almighty, Ek- Onkar, Waheguru, the ardas continues with: Call to the mind Guru Nanak.

Noorneet Sahota you cannot connect with waheguru by penance as you suggest.. you just have to walk the path of the sword without expecting or even in the remotest corner of your mind have any expectation.. that is what I gather from this katha.. ty
Very Meaningfully described what is Ardaas🙏🙏
So nice listening u I was not aware of ur videos today got one what’s up where i saw u will watch ur videos very nice 👍🙏🙏
Thanks a lot
Clearly understood everything about ardaas ❤️
now i clearly understand the reason of ardass
Brilliant. I agree completely. Our Ardas, the way it is done, is so not Ardas.
Yes.. We go as beggars too often to Vaheguru ji... Maybe we should go in Chardi Kulla with a "Hukam Rajai Chalna Nanak Likhya Naal" attitude 🙏🙏🙏
@@jatinderdaniels True.
Nice effort.
Hey I'm not sikh bt I have to much faith in waheguru hi...will you please tell me how to do Ardaas
❤❤❤❤❤
This is helpful
i need learn in spanish my english still is not good
What r the nine treasures
There is a useful article on SikhiWiki about this: www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Nau_Nidh
Ardas creates faith, faith creates devotion, devotion creates bhagti and bhagti leads to the brahm awastha that gives us the mentality and state of mind of Vin Boleya Sab Kich Janda.
Hi, really good videos looking forward to future ones. Insightful videos about the self and how we build up a fortress. The only thing I noticed was that you have BoS under the channel section which is really good, i've been following them and its been helpful in learning more about Sikhi. Not sure about that OSHO channel saw a few weird videos, e.g about the mystic talking about marriage and children - he was saying some pretty strange (un-gurmat) stuff... it may be best to review if you want that under that section. Thanks and keep up the gd work
+Aran Z Thanks for your comment. I have always held the view that where there is something positive that we can learn from someone then we should. Anything negative we should discard. I have learned a lot of useful things from Osho, especially his Katha on Jap Ji Sahib. So this is why I have shared his channel. Thanks
Can some one help me who will teach about Sikhism and it's principles in Hyderabad
Your videos are really deep. They are thought changing. But for some reason I usually feel sad and cry listening to your teachings. Like I don't understand any of your videos. Maybe its my ego but I feel like I'm nothing and not worthy to be following this path because I don't know anything.
GM S not knowing anything is the first step...just listen with your heart and turn your grief into happiness. Let it resonate with happy love.
GM S i feel exactly the same... i sometimes start crying listening to all this knowledge. Dont know how to interpret...
What is the Hukum? And the path to follow?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
Mere ly har roz gurudwara jana possible nei aa kyo ki mere city ch koi gurudwara nei aa but main apne ghare nitnem path kardi aa , te ghare kida kariye ardas?
🙏
volume is low a bit.... otherwise excellent
@nanaknaam many people describe ardas as a "plea" - like a humble request. Without a more in depth translation of each line of ardas, I'm finding it hard to understand. Especially when looking at other translations online. I can appreciate that when keeping in line of not asking for more and more, we must accept the hukam - I'm just sat here trying to write down my translations and this one has me puzzled!! Please help :)
Thank you. WJKKWJKF
Phaji I have a question… when doing an Ardas should one remove their shoes and cover their head, when not in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib ji i.e. at a milni or at a funeral?
Wahaguru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahaguru Ji Ki Fateh SSA uncle Ji is the Vasu bhardwaj story true that a light came out of the bani and went towards him and cured his cancer, is their evidence and medical reports he did have cancer and got cured please answer back uncle Ji
Cosmic Fatty thank you so are you sure darbar Sahib has its copies
Gurbani does not believe in miracles. Period. Everything happens because of His Hukam - "Hukmeh ander sab koh bahar hukam nah koay". Guru Angad Sahib Ji, Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, Guru Gobind Singh Ji could have used miracles if they wanted to, BUT that would have been going against the Hukam of Akal Purakh. So whatever happens beyond your understanding, is Hukam and not miracle.
Bhagawati ji is Maa Bhagavati and not the sword wt it's said I feel. Have heard about this in many places.
Someone please reply In Sikh and I believe in Sikhism of course and I also believe in Hanuman g…. Does Sikh allow you to believe in other gods ?
@@bengaloffset ok
🩵🙏🏼
I have always been disturbed with the reference of violence in the ardas from a very young age......
I thought time ago, that preaching UNIVERSE makes me away from akaal purakh. Now i understood, i was wrong.
he two people ardas for it to rain or not to rain well they are not going to be in the same area so it will rain for the person and for the other person it wont rain and they might be in different countries
Sin is universal problem. Sin is ubiquitous. Humanity contaminated by sin. Sin in us by default, not learnt, not taught. Sin manifests in many forms - evil, crime. Sin is the opium. The origin of sin is unanswered.
My journey.
Sin is pre-existing in all. Nobody taught us to sin. Sin pre-dates The Bible. The Bible explains origins of sin. The Bible provides remedy for pre-existing sin, through Jesus Christ death and resurrection. The Bible is best selling book in the world for this reason. Sin is real, The Bible is relevant. Sin is born at every child birth. Sin is disease of heart, and Jesus Christ is the cure.
Satan is the enemy, came to steal, kill and destroy. Misleads us to blame good loving God. God is not the author of evil.
Media, Police, Defense, Judiciary, Penitentiary, Security, Contracts confirm sin exists.
The origins of life, natural laws, sin, morals, purpose, meaning, conscience, music, creativity, intelligence, beauty, color, nature, water, air, light and amalgamation, remain unevidenced - elsewhere.
We love truth when it enlightens us, but hate when it convicts us.
Instructing to "Heart wash" from sin is not "Brainwash".
God created universe, placed natural laws, made humans in His image, gave talents, instructed to multiply and explore - The Initiation of Science. Science is the legitimate child of natural laws. Without natural laws science has no foundation.
We are created with good purpose and meaning. We are good. Then sin entered through satan and we all fallen. Disease, despair, deformities, deficiencies, depression, stress, guilt, greed, hate, anger, rebellious spirit, spiritual death entered. Sin plays spoilsport.
Unloose the Soul from the tight knot of sin. Soul outlasts death.
Sinners cannot save themselves from sin. Jesus Christ, the Holy God, intervened, willingly died on The Cross and resurrected, for remmissions of our sins, to save us from sin and hell.
We are weak at the core, however we try to portray otherwise. We need Holy God's help, who is willing to help with open arms.
Unable to find any motive any reason for Jesus Christ to die willingly on Cross and resurrect - except His love to save us from pre-existing sin and hell.
Nobody died for our sins and resurrected - except Jesus Christ. Exclusivity
Jesus Christ claimed:
"I am The Way, The Truth and The Life". "I am The Resurrection and The Life".
"I am The Good Shepherd".
Jesus Christ has the authority to forgive sins.
Religion says "Do". Jesus Christ says "Done".
Religion is man's attempts to 'search gods'. Jesus Christ came from heaven in 'search of man'.
Salvation from sin and hell is not earned through works or deeds or pilgrimages or rituals or ceremonies or traditions or cultures or meditations or public displays or hypocrisy or making personal sacrifices or making animal sacrifices.
Salvation from sin and hell is free, but not cheap. Because Jesus Christ laid His life on The Cross, and resurrected.
God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. Just like a parent loves child, but hates disease in child.
We are saved by God's grace, not by our works.
Karma is getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we don't deserve. Only Grace can be pre-fixed with word Amazing. Amazing Grace. Karma is not Amazing, it is depressing.
GRACE: Getting what we don't deserve - i.e. forgiveness of sin, eternity in heaven through Jesus Christ.
MERCY: Not getting what we deserve - i.e. punishment of sin, separation from God, eternity in hell.
Other side of death is eternity. Either in hell; or in heaven through Jesus Christ.
God offers grace and mercy for free through Jesus Christ death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ suffered, ridiculed, spat-on, humiliated, crucified on The Cross, and therefore He understands our pain. He raised victorious, we will too. Those who endure till end are victorious.
Jesus Christ coming again to judge all. The doors will be closed. Jesus Christ reveals every mystery, answers every question. We all deserve to know the truth. He is The Alpha and The Omega. He judges everyone.
One day every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
The First Christmas - Jesus Christ came to earth from heaven to save us from pre-existing sin.
The First Good Friday - Jesus Christ crucified to The Cross, died willingly for remission of our sins.
The First Resurrection Day, also linked to Easter - Jesus Christ resurrected from death.
Jesus Christ made entry to Holy Heaven free through Him. Repent of sin and be saved. Easy.
The First Coming of Jesus Christ - He is Lamb, slaughtered for remission of sins
to save us from sin and hell. And resurrected.
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ - He will be Lion, The Judge.
The Lamb and The Lion.
Jesus Christ forgave all who crucified Him, and now forgives all, even who reject, ridicule and mock Him. He loves all unconditionally.
Believe, trust, repent of pre-existing sin in Jesus Christ that He died for remission of our sins and resurrected, and coming back to judge, accept Him as Lord and Saviour, and be saved from sin and hell. Any time, any where. Even now. Simple.
Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
I found God loved me regardless of sins, weaknesses and rejections by others. As sinner I cannot save myself through deeds. He believed me and has faith in me. I am not in competition with others. God loves you all, individually.
(My journal. Journey to life - after testing all 'isms' and religions, after failing to find origins, purpose and meaning of life, after swallowing pride, egos, anger, hate, depression.)
Nice ....
But Universe , Multiverses , Parallel Unverses or Millions of Universes
Ardas is done to Creator ( Almighty Lord Akaalpurkh ) of Infinite Universes .
Ek OnKar means One God does it not ?.you talk rubbish mate . The universe was created by WaheGuru Ji not by Guru Nanak and GuruNanak and All the Gurus said you should connect with WaheGuruJi and whatever happens between you and WaheGuruJi will happen only if WaheGuruJi wills it to happen
You r trying to say . No hope .
Bullseye!!
just get to the point & say the truth
do not do the ardaas its against sikhism
Bhaugati means sword. Period. Pls do not kid yourself nor mislead the innocent. I liken your interpretation as the "Blind leading the Blind." Bhaugati refers to Durga the Hindu Goddess. The whole ardas is lifted from Markandeh Puran, a Hindu text. So in the Ardas it says Pray to Durga FIRST, and it is mentioned not once but 3 times. Then only think about Guru Nanak after praying to Durga first. To understand Gurbani, use Gurbani and look for the contextual meaning of Bhaugati. The SGGS Ji will confirm that the word Bhaugati used in the Ardas is Durga and nothing else.Repent before it is too late.By the way what is that emblem that you have affixed on your turban. For those who do not know it is not the Khanda but a Hindu emblem. Don't believe me, look at it carefully and compare it to a Khanda.
You claim that "Bhagauti" refers to Durga in "chandi di vaar". But if you continue reading "chandi di vaar", you will notice that Guru gobind singh ji says, "durga picked the Bhagauti in her hand". LOL so does this mean that the guru is saying that durga held herself in her own hand?? LOL. The answer is NO! "Bhagauti" refers to the sword. Therefore, guru gobind singh ji does NOT call out to durga before calling to Guru Nanak and the other gurus in the ardas, but rather the guru calls out to the sword. NOT Durga.
And there is a story behind why guru gobind singh ji calls out to "bhagauti" (sword) before he calling out to the other gurus. Here it is:
In a certain place in india in the time of Guru Nanak dev ji, the mughal king "Babur" had attacked. Just before attacking this news had reached the hindus of that area that "Babur" has attacked or is going to attack.
Then, the hindus of that area went to their hindu temples and prayed to their hindu gods and goddesses to protect them from the islamic king "Babur". The hindu priests said to the people, "do not worry, we will recite a certain prayer/mantra which will turn the army of Babur blind and they will not be able to harm us". Hearing this, the people of that area got happy and trusted the priests to actually stop Babur and his army from attacking. So they never got ready to fight, they never took out any weapons , with the foolish hope that the hindu priests will actually stop the army of Babur simply by reciting a mantra (prayer).
What happen then is that, Babur and his army attack and kill all the people (lol) and the priests could not do anything though their superstitious practices which they thought will benefit them. Guru Nanak dev ji talks about this and says, "none of the mughals became blind, no one could perform miracles".
Therefore, putting all this together, this is the reason why Guru Gobind singh ji calls out to the "bhaguti" (sword) before he calls out to the other gurus. It is because it represents the fact that the sword is essential to fight against injustice, and simply doing unless rituals will NOT benefit. This is JUST ONE of the stories behind why Guru Gobind singh ji gives importance to the sword. Because if the people of that area had took out a sword against the mughal army instead of just sitting down like morons peforming rituals with the hope that the army will turn blind, they would have actually been able to save themselves or at least they could have protected themselves somewhat . Thus guru ji gives importance to the sword and calls out to it before calling out to other gurus in Ardas. He does NOT call out to Durga.
It must be understood that Sikhism points these stories out from chandi di vaar simply as stories to learn from. Durga is NOT made an object of worship. If the guru was calling out to Durga, then can you explain why did guru ji give Durga such a low status in Guru granth sahib ji?? I gave you references from Guru Granth Sahib Ji above which basically depict Durga as an ordinary creation and nothing more. Therefore, Guru Granth Sahib JI is very very VERY clear that Durga is nothing special and should not be worshiped. Chandi di vaar on the other hand highlights how nothing is beyond the almighty God and if any deities / beings with divine powers exist or existed, they are solely God’s creation, and it is to show that women are able to do same stuff as men as well such as fighting on battlefield.
Durga is NOT supposed to be worshipped in sikhism. Sikhism is against the worship of durga. Durga is NOT given importance in sikhism. Therefore, your claim that, "sikhs call out to Durga", is complete and utter nonsense. I have proof which I will provide.
Durga is NOT given significance in sikhism. Here is the evidence from our scriptures:
ਚਰਨ ਸਰਨਿ ਜਿਹ ਬਸਤ ਭਵਾਨੀ ॥
Charn Sarni Jih Basata Bhavaanee ॥
The goddess Durga takes refuge at His (God's) Feet and abides there.
ਅਕਾਲ ਉਸਤਤਿ - ੫/੨ - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ (end of quote)
In the above quote, the guru says that Durga is just an ordinary creation of God and she takes refuge at his (God's) feet. This quote shows she is not given any importance in sikhism and is described as a mere creation and servant of the Almighty God.
ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਰੁਦ੍ਰ ਉਪਾਇ ਖਪਾਏ ॥
Barhama Rudar Aupaaei Khpaaee ॥
He (GOD) hath created and destroyed Brahmas and Rudras (Shivas).
ਅਕਾਲ ਉਸਤਤਿ - ੬/੨ - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ (end quote)
In the above quote, the guru again speaks of hindu gods and says they are just creations of the one true Almighty God and they even get destroyed by the one Almighty God. They are NOT given importance in sikhism either.
Reality check: The Ardas is copied from Chandi Di Vaar which is a composition in the Bachittar Natak (Magnificient DRAMA). Chandi Di Vaar's origin is from Markanday Purana. Chandi refers to Durga and her other names are Bhagauti etc. So in the Ardas, Sikhs pray first to Durga (3 times) before they focus their thoughts on the teachings of Guru Nanak. My recommendation for every Sikh is do your own research and studies. Sikhism is a universal way of life and jogging on the same spot will not help!! We need to use our mental faculties to decipher critically what is being said by these so called preachers!!
Guru Maniyo Granth you said that your humble request to sikhs is to do their own research. Okay I did, and here is the info I got.
Durga is NOT supposed to be worshipped in sikhism. Sikhism is against the worship of durga. Durga is NOT given importance in sikhism. Therefore, your claim that, "sikhs call out to Durga", is complete and utter nonsense. I have proof which I will provide.

Here is more proof from sikh scriptures that we do NOT worship Durga or give her any significance:
ਦੁਰਗਾਕੋਟਿਜਾਕੈਮਰਦਨੁਕਰੈ॥
Millions of Durga goddesses massage His Feet.
(Sahib Shri Guru Granth Sahib, Ang 1162)
This verse is saying that millions of Durgas massage God's Feet hence why Durga is not considered important in the Sikh religion. .
sikhism promotes gender equality and encourages women to take an equal and leading role in all walks of life - including on the battlefield. In the Sikh composition ‘Chandi di vaar’, Durga is used as an example of the power of a woman on the battlefield. She is depicted slaying demons and overcoming her evil enemies. Even the greatest of deities such as Indra bow to her. This is merely used as an inspirational example rather than making Durga an object of worship.
