Saint-Soldier
Lakh Lakh Vadhaee Hovai Sumuchai Khalsa Panth Nu Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Jee Dhe Janam Divas Dee, Congratulations to the Khalsa Panth on the birthday of our pure master Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Jee.
Deh Shiva Bar Mohe Ihai, O Lord grant me this boon
Shubh Karman Te Kabhoon Naa Taraun, May I never refrain from righteous acts
Na Daron Arr Siyo Jab Jaa-i Laraun, That I may fight without fear or foes
Nischai Kar Apni Jeet Karaun, And with firm resolve claim victory
Arr Sikh Haun Apne Hee Man Ko, May the directive of the glory guide my mind
Eh Laalach Hau Gun Tau Uchraun, And my highest ambition be to sing thy praises
Jab Aav Kee Aud Nidhaan Banay, When the time comes for this mortal life to end
At Hee Rann Mein Tab Joojh Maraun, May I die on the battlefield fighting courageously.
There is no National Anthem in the world as powerful and meaningful as the Sikh National Anthem, it is not about saving the human Queen, it is about being a pure and true Saint Soldier.
Who is and was a Saint-Soldier in the Sikh faith?
Being a Saint-Soldier is the purest quality of human life form, we cannot be a pure human being if we are not Saint-Soldier. To become a perfect Soldier we have to first become Saints, we can not become perfect Soldiers, Warriors or Heroes without becoming a Saint first. The reason for this is when we become Saints we purify our mind through Naam, we conquer our ego, anger, fear, and attachment which leaves us with a pure and steady mind. Those people who think they can be true Warriors, Heroes, or Soldiers without Naam, or being a Saint first are lost, their Warriorship would be ruled by ego without them realising.
Great warriors in the past like William Wallace the Scotsman in the movie 'Brave Heart' were gifted by God with the qualities of bravery, courage, great swords men, great fighters, they were and will always be known for their qualities but sorry to say all this quality is wasted through their ego and they also suffered through anger, attachment, fear and lust as their souls were not blessed with Naam and the guidance of the Gurus teachings on how to purify this filthy mind.

many heroes waged great wars; in their egos they were ruined, and they ruined others as well.
Sikhs have always been known and respected for their outstanding bravery and courage around the World and also by other faiths. Many Sikhs gave their lives in the World Wars, even now the British Army and Police Force are trying their hardest in recruiting more Amritdhari Sikhs, the reason for this is in the past our forefathers who battled in the Wars were only recruited in the army if they were Amritdhari. The army knew these people are very disciplined people and would not hesitate in giving their life in battle. Even Adolph Hitler the German dictator who feared no one said “ if there is one group I respect it is the Sikhs”.
bhai kaahoo ko dhaeth nehi nehi bhai maanuth aan
One who does not frighten anyone, and who is not afraid of anyone else
kuhu naanuk sun rae munaa giaanee thaahi bukhaan
says Nanak, listen, mind: call him spiritually wise. 16
Where do we get this courage and bravery from?
Guru Nanak Dev Jee, the first Guru who called King Babur Jabur who feared no body and wherever he went spoke the truth. An example is when he spoke to the Brahmins, they were pouring water to the left so Guru Jee poured water to the right, they asked “what are you doing” Guru Jee replied “what are you doing”, they said “giving water to our ancestors”, Guru Jee replied “I am feeding my crops in Panjab”, they said “how can that be possible” Guru Jee said “how will the water reach your dead ones who are not even on earth”, they had no reply.
Guru Jee also went to Mecca where non-Muslims are strictly forbidden, he put his feet towards the Ka'aba and went to sleep, the Qazis saw this and told Guru Jee to move his feet, Guru Jee said move my feet to where the Ka'aba (Gods house) is not, so where ever they moved Guru Jees feet the Ka'aba also turned with it, (meaning: God is everywhere). The Muslims called Nanak their Pir (saint) from this day and put Guru Jees jorde (slippers) inside the Ka'aba (the black holy place where all Muslims gather). Guru Jee had many verbal encounters and travelled most of Asia preaching Sikhi in this unique fashion of no fear. Guru Jee had an amazing verbal encounter with the very spiritual Siddhs, these people had many spiritual powers, lived for many hundreds of years by holding their breath and just sat meditating in the mountains without food or water. These people called Guru Jee a child (Balak) until he spoke to them, experience this amazing verbal encounter in the Guru Granth Sahib Jee Ang (page) 938-946; it should give you an insight on how spiritual our Gurus really were. The Banee is called Siddh Gosht.
Guru Arjan Dev Jee was the 5th Guru and first Shaheed (martyr) in Sikhism. He was made to sit on a hot burning plate with burning hot Sand being poured on his head by Jahanghir, the Muslim ruler at the time, he uttered this beautiful prayer.
thaeraa keeaa meethaa laagai
Your actions seem so sweet to me.
har naam pudhaaruth naanuk maagai
Nanak begs for the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. 24293
Guru Jee sat in total bliss remembering the great Lord Vahiguroo. Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee the 6th Guru gave us 2 swords to carry and fought many battles against the Muslims after witnessing this outrageous oppression, he decided we will fight oppression physically and not peacefully no more, the swords represent spiritual power and soldiership. Guru Tegh Bahadur Jee was the 9th Guru. The Kashmiri Pandits (Priests) approached Guru Jee and said the Muslims are trying to convert us, please help, they said only a pure soul can save us. Gobind Rai at the age of 9 who later became Guru Gobind Singh said to his father “there is know one as pure as you father please save these people and tell them God is creating a 3rd faith called Sikhi”. Guru Tegh Bahadur was then Shaheed (martyred) at Chandni Chownk in Delhi, his head was separated from his body by Aurangzebs men, the ruler at the time. 3 beloved Sikhs of the Guru went with him at the time, they were also martyred, there names were Bhai Matee Daas who was sawn in half with a saw, Bhai Dyalaa Jee who was boiled to death in a pot, and Bhai Satee Daas who was wrapped in cotton wool and burnt to death. These Sikhs were granted 1 wish before they passed away, they asked to be facing their Guru at the time of death, which shows how much faith they had.
Guru Gobind Singh Jee created the Khalsa Panth in 1699 and many Sikhs were shaheed in battle against the Muslims, the Sikhs were always out numbered in battle and always victorious, the Sikhs never attacked first, they always defended. Guru Jee said my family will give their lives for the Panth, please bless me with Amrit, this was said to the Panj Piaare (5 beloved ones). Baba Ajeet Singh, Baba Jujhaar Singh the elder sons of Guru Gobind Singh gave their lives on the battlefield, Baba Zorawar Singh, Baba Fateh Singh were bricked alive by Wazir Khan the ruler at the time, they were the youngest shaheeds in the history of shaheeds, aged 7 and 5, they were shaheed with their heads high, they were offered money, gifts, rule and many more worldly pleasures and asked to convert to Islam their answer was:
murun munusaa sooriaa huk hai jo hoe murehi puruvaano
The death of brave heroes is blessed, if it is approved by God.
naanuk kis no baabaa roeeai baajee hai eihu sunsaaro
Nanak: for whom should we mourn, O Baba? This world is merely a play.
The only way death is approved by Vahiguroo is if we die uttering Naam or praising the Lord. No other death is approved by the Lord even if they are shaheed for their faith, e.g Suicide bombers. The only time we will remember the Lord in the last breath is if we have been remembering him Athai Pehar (24 hours) throughout our life.
anth kaal naaraaein simurai aisee chinthaa mehi jae murai
At the very last moment, one who thinks of the Lord, and dies in such thoughts,
budhath thilochun thae nur mukuthaa peethunbur vaa kae ridhai busai
says Trilochan, that man shall be liberated; the Lord shall abide in his heart. 52
How wise must these so called 'children' have been, if you know Kids at this age you will know what Daas is trying to say. Bhai Manee Singh was cut limb by limb because he did not accept Islam, he told the oppressor to start at the first joint like he had been commanded, the Wrist joint is not the first joint. Bhai Taroo Singhs scalp was removed, Baba Deep Singh was shaheed in battle with his head cut off at a very elderly age, Mataa Bhag Kaur was also shaheed in battle, she was the first female martyr, lets not forget all our forefathers and Mothers who were shaheed for the Panth.
There has been so many amazing Grsikhs in the 20th century who were also shaheed such as, Sant Jarnail Singh Jee Khalsa Bhindranwale, Bhai Fauja Singh, Bhai Amrik Singh, Bhai Sukhdev Singh Babbar and many many more. Faith only continues when one remembers the blood of our Fathers, Mothers, Sisters and Brothers. Banda singh Bahadurs sons Heart was ripped out in front of him and put into his mouth, children were chopped in to small pieces and put on spears in whole before their Mothers eyes.
How many more shaheeds does Daas have to name, we are the sons of these people, lets ask ourselves 1 question are we ready to die for the Panth, Guru Jee says to die for the Panth you have to first learn how to live for the Panth.
murun n mundhaa lokaa aakheeai jae mar jaanai aisaa koe
Death would not be called bad, O people, if one knew how to truly die.
saevihu saahib sunmruth aapunaa punth suhaelaa aagai hoe
Serve your Almighty Lord and Master, and your path in the world hereafter will be easy.
punth suhaelai jaavuhu thaa ful paavuhu aagai milai vuddaaee
Take this easy path, and you shall obtain the fruits of your rewards, and receive honor in the world hereafter.
We should count ourselves truly blessed we were gifted the most perfect human being in the world as our Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Jee the 10th Guru, he had every quality a human being needs to become pure, he had all the qualities of God in a human form, he was a saint, soldier, brave, and also courageous, he was an expert in languages, poetry, music and scriptures, he had every virtue of a God loving being, his qualities have no end they can not be named.
Sikhism has a golden history for martyrs. Daas has named a few shaheeds who have been shaheed for the panth, there is 1 thing all these shaheeds have in common. THEY WERE RASEEYAI OF NAAM AND BAANEE, they loved Naam and Baanee and this is the only support they had. They would not be called great shaheeds without the support of Naam. We would not have been called Sikhs today if these great Gursikhs had not have shed their blood for the Panth.

Singh Ji,
enjoyed this article very much along with all the previous ones.
was just wondering where u heard about hitler's comments regarding Sikhs - was it a book?
thanks.
jugroop singh
VahiGuruJiKaKhalsa,VahiGuruJiKiFateh
hanji yeh i was wondering about that too
As am I..
great work reallly inspirational stuff..cant begin to say how much its helped me out
haha i was wondering about that hitler thing too, whats the reference to that comment?
made up mind story
Hitler was man whose mind was full of poison then how can he show respect towards sikhs?
A Gursikh Veer was told this by an Ex-Army officer. He has spoken some good words about the Sikhs in his autobiography, they were the only words Daas could remember.
Gurooofateh!
Singh Sahib, I do not know much about Bhai Rama Singh Ji other than his autobiography but is he eating out of sarbloh utensils in your profile image. Has the image been edited or was it taken just as it appears? I heard he had a very high spiritual status. Hope you can get back to my small questions.
Guru Ang Sang
Gurooofateh!
Bhai Rama Singh indeed had a very high spiritual state, no he is not eating out of Sarbloh utensils in the picture. As far as Daas knows he was not Sarblohi.
Daas got the picture from another Singhs blog, I think the address is novtej.blogspot.com. I requested the Singh to add more pictures of these Jot Vigaasee Singhs but he has not done so.
Piareo,
Guru Jee was never againts the Muslims....he never was...He was only againts Zalim(cruel,heartless) people who oppressed the others.... Guru Sahib raised his sword only againts tyranny not Islam.
dass is the same last anon.It was beautifull post with Maharajs keerpa.
