Puratan Reinsbhai

Waheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguroo Ji Ki Fateh!

Reinsbhai is the time, for us to feed our soul and to take the full laha of Sat Sangat.Iv personally know some diffrence of the Puratan times and our present time Reinsbhai.Heres an article which was posted on the AKJ.org forum by some singh.
------------------------------------------------------
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I have heard that during puratan rainsbai Kirtan, Sikhs who performed the Kirtan and Tabla sewa used to prepare themselves before attending the rainsbai program by spending extra time in simran and learning the deep translation and Padd & Chadd of shabad to be performed and followed the life style according to the shabads.

During kirtan, Kirtaniya just closed the eyes and facing toward Sahib Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, did the Kirtan keeping fear and love of Guru Ji on ground (no stage). Kirtaniya repeated the each line of shabad in very clear voice so that shabad abides in all the sangat's heart and made sure that Vaaja and tabla did not become so much loud that sangat did not listen to the shabad. Kirtaniya spent quite a time in simran, did the simran in such a manner that all the sangat could participate for longer duration. Sikh doing tabla sewa also sung along with sangat and performed the sewa in rhyme.

I heard that once Bhai Sahib Randir Singh Ji was doing simran in Kirtan, suddenly stopped using the Vaaja and become silent and then everyone in the sangat started doing simran with Sas Giras for over 1 hour, there was complete silent in the sangat.

After kirtan, Kirtaniya tried to hide from comments from sangat and Sangat was also so wonderful they just expressed themselves without speaking even single word.

Now it is all different, we all know what has been done these days.
----------------------------------------------------------
Its true that the keertani that does keertan should always do khoj of the shabad,so that we understand the meaning and when we sing Keertan, our mind and heart becomes one and the Shabad would effect the listener and us.

In this modern day, i know of one keertani that does this.Just one , but im sure theres more but just Gupt.When we hear keertan sang by them, our mind becomes relax, and that a sign our Atma is receiving its food.

I personally do keertan once a blue moon, but dont do all this.I would really like to try doing this.Bhai Jeevan Singh is one puratan keertani that i would say really leaves an effect on my life.I love hearing him sing Keertan and nowdays I hear Bhai Sahibs keertan alot.Keertani like Bhai Avtar Singh Ji, whos popular for Gurmat Sanget is another example.I personally havent heard of Bhai Sahibs keertan but have heard how it leaves impact on some people.

Bhai Harpreet Singh is another wicked keertani.He is a set example for our modern keertanis to come.My friend once told me, you really have to listen to Bhai Sahibs keertan, cause i dont really hear Bhai Harpreet Singh much, but do love his keertan.After hearing Bhai Sahibs keertan, the same feeling of which i had after hearing Bhai Jeevan Singh Jis keertan was amazing.

Iv also heard that Puratan times, there were no time setting like this keertani does for this this hours.Im sure they still follow somewhere around the world, but not here.Here time is very precious for some.LOL.

Well thats all i guess.Iv spoken to much.LOL.Hope to have some Reinsbhai here some day.I have only went to one Reinsbhai and that 3 years or so back.It was amazing, but i didnt understand the true meaning on Reinsbhai Keertan.Maharaj Kirpa, hope more keertan programs to be set.

The American(Gora) Baby!!

Waheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguroo Ji Ki Fateh!!

How ya all!? Hope everything is going on well for you people out there.Im really excited , cant wait for the Amrit Sanchar!

Any way, someone reminded me about the American baby story which I was suppose to share but didnt.Thank to who ever it was.Any how, heres the story.

Well, the other day at the Penang Keertan Darbar, there we few tourist at the Gurdwara.Well to be more precise , 2 white couple one with kids.I saw the small kid and she was really adorable and cute(Didn't know it was a SHE until I asked her mom).So I told Nasseb Phenji, how I would really wana hold that baby and just talk to her, I felt some bonding with her.Then, we forgot everything about it, and just went to out pangat spot and ate.

As I finished first, so I was sharing some stories with Naseb Phenji.From no where...CHA!!!, she came to us.We were the first person she talked to, and that too hidden at the back of the walls.Shockingly, she was playing with me, looking into my eyes.I was like , Hey Guroo Sahib, does she has to do something with me in my past life, cause from no where, she just came and played with me.Everyone was stunt.So well, I played with her a lil.Then her parents wanted to go upstairs into Darbar Sahib and have Guroo Jis Darshan.

So I accompanied them and gave them rumal for the guy and dupata for the lady.The man asked,"Is it ok for the kids to go up?"I was like yea , why not, its for everyone.Then he replied"Oh no, cause they dont have head gears!".Now just look at that,our own Punjabis dont bother if our children cover their head to Darbar Sahib, but this man was really humble and nice.Maharaj kirpa karan.

SO before going up to the Darbar Sahib, I did a lil sewa for the baby, took off her shoes.That the lest I could do to thank her and God knows.We went up stairs, and I explained to them what Guroo Sahib was all about and Sikhi.Seriously, I told that Mother that how lucky they are to come and bow down to Guroo Sahib, as some of the past karma are erased by just doing Matha Takena(Bhai Rama Singh Jis book).She was like of ok.

Then they came down, and was ready to go home.I just told them if you would like to learn more go and see the our American Sikhs, they are good too.She was like oh ok.Thanks.So then i said Bye to lil phenji and they went home.I wanted to take picture with them, but i thought oh well, in past karma they we with me or something, this joon we had to finish it.So just forget about taking pictures.I would really love to share this beautiful family picture, but i didnt take any.

Oh another thing was, when Sukhinderpal Veerji was talking to them, about Bujer Kurehat, when veerji said we cant take intoxication, the Father said I dont drink and smoke!What about that??A gora not smoking and drinking.Our Punjabis are worst!My dads a drinker, so ....ahaha.

Well thats all.I would really love to meet my lil phenji again some day.Hope shes grown up and have a great future, or maybe better, a Sikh:)

Thats all for now.Theres gona be a program at Police Gurdwara today.So we are going there.Ill record the keertan and maybe some picture.

Ok then jio.Hope it was interesting, i personally think it is.

Bana For A Day

Waheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguroo Ji Ki Fateh!

Bana is a Sikh uniform. Common colors of Bana are blue, black, white and yellow or orange. There are other colors which are also worn but above are the most popular colors.

I always wanted to wear a Bana, and I got the inspiration from Gursikhs who wear them. The BIG difference between me and those Gursikhs are their Banis and Rehat. I’m still new and still have a long way go until I think Bana is ready for me .I used to feel comfortable in Bana as its loose and it really looks beautiful on any one who wears it.

I want to share this story with everyone .Its about me wearing Bana for the whole day.I used to think that I could and can do it, wearing Bana in public .This attempt was not planed, but happened unexpectedly.

On the Amritwela day, I wore the Bana (Nihung one) , which was white in color with a churidar pajama and blue kamarkasa .I wore a blue dumalla, with a Khanda and white Gatra with a chained Kirpan. I was not hesitant to wear it to Gurdwara, as we are used to it.After the program, there was another Keertan Darbar in Penang and I thought, why not just and do sat sangat.So we went there.

After the program, we planned to visit our Mata Ji, Mata Harjinder Kaur, which is our beloved Jasbir Singh Veerjis mother. Mata Ji was not feeling well, so we thought right LETS GO!!

I was excited to go cause I didn’t meet Mata Ji and was really looking forward to surprise her.. ahaha. Well everything was fine, UNTILLL...I realized I was wearing Bana .LOL.I was really petrified as I didn’t know what to do .I had a blue kamarkasa around me. Tying my gatra around it would still be the same .I also brought my Hazooriya along. So, just hide my Kirpan with the hazoriya. I was really still shy, because I was wearing a Khanda on the Dumalla. I was telling Phenji Rajvin how I was feeling, and think I should take it off. She was like,no..just leave it looks fine. SO I took her words and kept the Khanda on.

As I walked into the hospital corridors, Waheguroo, I was the attention. Everyone walking pass was looking at me, thinking what the hack he’s wearing .AHAHA!! Then the phenjis were like look people are looking at you and I was like leave them alone .I was busy asking Guroo Ji to be Ang Sang, I was really really shy.I didn’t like people looking at me.

God . It was hysterics. People looking at you, as you’ve done some crime .Bare in mind, in our place here, there hasn’t been anyone who wears Bana full time or in public .So you can imagine what it would be like.

Well, after this day, I was really stunt to know how Gursikhs leaving abroad who wear Bana full time go thru all this. It was really an experience and I wouldn’t forget this day .It has made my confidence more stronger and Maharaj Kirpa Karan, Bana Di Dat Bakshey.

That’s all, thought would like to share this with everyone .BUT! One thing iv learned that is, wearing Bana means your hauling Guroo Jis image and your insight should be strong .More Baniyia , Amritwela , Sewa and humbleness is required.

I hope my experience would be some eye opener to some who wana wear Bana .I really wana wear it, but for now, Guroo Sahib knows its not the right time. Hope some day, before I leave this world, I would get the chance to wear Bana.

P.S.The pictures are example of a few people I know that wear Bana full time.First picture is Bhai Swaran Singh Ji,Bhai Raghbir Singh Ji , Bhai Jarnail Singh Ji at the Irish Airport.Second picture is Bhai Pritipal Singh Ji.
