35Akhri (Punjabi Varanmala)

Shri Guru Ravidass Ji is the founder of Punjabi Varanmal Penti Akhri. Sri Guru Ravidass Ji coined Gurmukhi Alphabet.

The community in which Guru Ji was born was in the shackles of discrimination, untouchability, poverty and ignorance. He cherished to change the entire scenario of the community. He wanted first to take up educational aspect.

He preached – Madho abidiaa hit keen Bibek deep maleen

The untouchables were strictly prohibited from reading Devnagri script. Even a glance of the devnagri letters by them could mean damage of eyes and as such blindness. It was all horrible. To save the ignorant people Guru Ji invented his own Gurmukhi alphabet consisting of 35 letters.

Education was spread by Guru Ji. The people of his community started learning. Giani Gurcharan Singh has written a book ‘Gurmukhi Akhar Bhagat Ravidass ne banaai’. The author says that originally there are only 35 letters of the alphabet. With a view to make education difficult the selfish people have increased the letters to 52. It proves that 35 letters of Gurmukhi alphabet have been coined by Sri Guru Ravidass Ji. He has also mentioned in the book that untouchables were not allowed access to Devnagri script. He felt necessity of Gurmukhi script so that the untouchables could be educated. Before partition of India and Pakistan, a Lahore court had adjudicated that the gurmukhi alphabet was coined by Guru Ravidass Ji. He was not only religious leader but a literary luminary also. Dr. Krishna Kalsia, author ‘Guru Ravidass Kav Kala’ has mentioned in the book that there is sole influence of Punjabi in Guru Ravidass bani. This also shows that Guru Ji has coined gurmukhi alphabet. The Indian Supreme Court agreed to the fact that Satguru Ravidass Ji coined the letters of the Gurmukhi alphabet. This case was re-opened for 4 times because of the contradiction of other castes in India, all the hearings had the same decision of the Supreme court: Satguru Ravidass Ji coined the 35 letters of the Gurmukhi alphabet. The hearings were in these 4 years: 1857, 1933, 1977, 1988.

Guru Ravidass Ji created Gurmukhi Lippi Alphabet invention

Har(i) so heera chhadh(i) kai karih aan kee aas. Te nar dojak jaahige sat bhaakhai Ravidass.
Never hope for the dignity, having discarded the refuge of God ! the (Diamond) such are destined to go to hell-truly predicted Guru Ravidass Ji.

Dear Friends, What is the worth of life? It is a very typical question for us. Because you have a life to lead for what- is it only for eating, wearing enjoying and sleeping? Here it is a matter of great concern & think with seriousness.

Why we/one has born? We are viewing various species of animals and birds water living creatures. Some species stays at space/in air, whom we cannot view easily.

After viewing and realizing them Man can know and come to this conclusion that a State/Status of Man is supreme and above all these species of various types which are all figured by Great persons/God to a count of 84 lakh. What is the Journey of life? It is metered as per our past Karmas and links somewhat with recent karmas and by the grace of Almighty God. If we now attain good karmas it will decide the journey of our next life and it clears obstacles our journey/present life too.

So what is the glory to be a humanbeing? Realize it feel proud and thank God for this benign gift very carefully. This is a good art and a philosopher’s eye to realize over it.

For leading a good life one has to be well educated, earn wisely and honestly and be healthy by good care of body and mind.

We/one has to realize his duties i.e. towards our parents, wife and children, society, state and Nation & World and God above to all.

Here calculation of life is 100-150 yrs. only for nowadays man. Which is reduces as per his life style and leading of life all over the world. In this short span upto 22-25 years we spent in education/childhood. 25-45 for family duties only a few percent gives attention toward holy bhakti of God which is our prime duty/goal of this mere life. During this period we try to earn by serving the society/Nation. After that one realizes that the first half of the life’s inning is over and maximum comes to frustration at this stage for the worth of life. Since they have not opted for the real and right path of life from beginning or childhood. One has to lead and leading a life meaningful every one should know about the duties, and righteous acts in daily life of ours. Kindle every hope from God, do right karmas have pity, tolerance, love of mankind and love to God. 60 percent people do not cross 70-80 yrs of age even after so many medical aids are available in the world. Our saints and religious persons has showed us the holy path of Bhakti of God. And told about yogas to see the God and his Kingdom. Lord Krishna has quoted in the Holy Geeta that Yoga is Karmasu Kaushlam means Yog Karam se Uttam Hai. If one use to practice yoga daily under the real guidance of Good Master one can realize the power of love of God and the yoga. Body exercise is not called yoga it is very clear here. Here Yoga means love & devotion towards God. If one obeys his Master with love respect and devotion he get better resultsinstantly than the journey of thousand years in yoga. One who loves his Master (Guru) loves God and feels the truths of God. If we will pay some time daily towards gods love, he will also love us and it is said, that if one miss God only once a day with love & devotion, He (God) takes care of his such devotee the whole of the day. Be honest in your duty and love God and humanity and serve the whole Mankind as per capacity given by God. Do not be Proud at all because even Revered English Saints says that Pride Hath a Fall. And do not put of till tomorrow what you can do today. A sigh has no guarantee to return back even if we assume life tenure 100-200 yrs. Thanks with love to all.

Guru Ravidass Ji as a promising student.

Pt. Sharda Nand ran his Pathshala in his house. Guru Ravidass Ji was put to his Pathshala (School) by his revered parents. Many other casteist people tried to restrain Pt. Sharda Nand from admitting in his Pathshala and teaching Ravidass Ji – a low caste boy. He was a wise man he realized from his face that the boy Ravidass Ji appeared to be a godly boy. In utter disregard of the pressure of casteist people, Pt. Sharda Nand admitted Guru Ravidass Ji and started teaching him. He was a sober and promising student. When he taught him the letters of alphabet, Guru Ravidass Ji expanded and spoke poetic lines, originating from the particular letter, signifying Glory of God.

Man re! chal(i) chatsar parhaoon
Chit(u) kagad kar(i) mas(i) nainan ri,
A-agyan chhanr(i) man moorikh,
Aa-aasan achal lagaoon.
I-ila pingla khol kivrya,
Soon(i) samadh rakhoon.
U-ur mainh ram h(i) rakhoon,
Nainan mainh basaoon.
M-mer(i) taj(i) raam naam mil(i),
Param tatt kau paoon.
R-ran raam moh(i) guru deenhau,
Nanh(i)ih(u) mantar visraoon.
Kahai Ravidass rrankaar japthin(i)
Bhau sagar(u) tar(i) jaaoon.

All this had great influence on Pt. Sharda Nand, his teacher. He realized that boy Ravidass Ji was spiritually enlightened since beginning. Although Guru Ravidass Ji was still a boy, yet Pt. Sharda Nand had developed deep regard for student Ravidass Ji.

The dead son of Pt. Sharda Nand's son became alive.

In his childhood when Guru Ravidass Jiwas studying in the Pathshala of Pt. ShardaNand, he developed friendship with his son. Theyused to play together.One day in the game of hide-and-seek, GuruRavidass Ji won and his friend lost the game.As a result, his friend was to seek hiddenRavidass Ji in his next turn. By this time nighthad fallen. It was mutually agreed that the friend(son of Pt. Sharda Nand) would play his turn of seeking Guru Ravidass Ji tomorrow in the morn-ing.In the next morning, Guru Ravidass Ji,along with other play-mates, waited for his friendfor a long time but he did not turn up. At lastGuru Ravidass Ji himself went to his residencewith other play-mates.The parents and other members of familyof friend of Guru Ravidass Ji were weeping. The neighbourers and others were also sitting in re-morse. Guru Ravidass Ji enquired as to whathad happened. He was apprised that his friend(son of Pt. Sharda Nand) had died during night.Guru Ji wondered as to why he had died with-out playing his turn of seeking Guru Ji in thegame of hide-and-seek. He wanted to see hisfriend.

Pt. Sharda Nand took Guru Ravidass Jialong to the place where dead body of his sonwas lying. In a friendly tone, Guru Ravidass Ji,asked his friend that it was not the time to sleepand he should get up and play his turn of seek-ing him in the game of hide-and-seek. By virtueof spiritual powers of Guru Ravidass Ji, Hisfriend became alive. He got up and was willingto play. His parents and others were astonished.They were happy again.The parents and relatives of the friend of Guru Ji and others bowed at sacred feet of GuruJi and thanked him.

A Brahman Boy Rescued.

A Brahman boy named Ram Lal was aclose friend of Guru Ravidass Ji. For most of the time they remained together and played together. The Brahman boy did not observeuntouchability also. He loved Guru Ji very much.The Brahmans were jealous and could not toler-ate that a Brahman boy should play with an un-touchable boy. They emphatically impressedupon his parents to detract their son from mov-ing and playing with a boy of low-caste. ButRam Lal obeyed none.The Brahmans, being jealous of GuruRavidass Ji, complained to the king about thefriendship of Ram Lal (a Brahman) and GuruRavidass Ji (an untouchable). The king calledRam Lal to the court. He was decided to bekilled by throwing before a hungry lion. As such,he was thrown before a hungry lion. The lionthundered. Ram Lal cried at his high pitch andfainted. When the lion came near the boy it be-came calm. It looked around. Instead of killingthe boy it looked frightened. It saw GuruRavidass Ji sitting near and protecting Ram Lal.The lion bowed before Ram Lal and receded.Ram Lal came to senses. He got up and camestraight to his friend Guru Ravidass Ji andthanked him for his protection from the lion. The King and Brahmans felt ashamed. TheKing realised that Ram Lal has been protectedby some spiritual power. The king freed him.

Non-acceptance of the philosopher's stone (Paras).

Guru Ravidass Ji was a great saint of me-dieval Age who remained contented with his mini-mum belongings and resources of livelihood. Hepreferred to lead a poor man’s life. Many kingsand queens and other rich people were his dis-ciples but he never expected and accepted anywealthy offers. God deemed it proper to givehim a philosopher’s stone. One day God, in theguise of a saint, visited Guru Ji’s hut and of-fered him a philosopher’s stone with whosetouch iron would be converted into gold. Thesaint asked him to construct a palatial buildingwith money earned with converted gold. Suit-able boarding and lodging arrangements couldalso be made for visiting Sadhus. Guru Ji lis-tened all this. After a pause he politely refusedthe offer with the plea that he prefers to be poorand that he would serve the visiting Sadhus with his available resources. Even the repeatedoffers of the philosopher’s stone by the Godlysaint were not accepted by Guru Ji.At last the saint thought that he should leavethe philosopher’s stone in his hut and he coulduse it later. He requested Guru Ji to keep it withhim and he would collect it from him on return.Guru Ji told him to keep it in a particular place inthe hut. The saint kept that stone there.The saint came back after 13 months. Heasked for philosopher’s stone. Guru RavidassJi asked him to collect it from the place wherehe had kept. He had not used it. The saint won-dered on his tenacity of non-involvement inworldly wealth. The saint was very happy andtook away the philosopher’s stone, went out anddisappeared.Guru Ji has taught us a lesson that oneshould not be greedy. One should work hardfor earning livelihood.

Guru Ravidass Ji Escaped Attempt on Life.

Ever since his childhood, Guru Ravidass Ji had religious bent of mind. His talks were notconventional. Even his family members wereastonished at his strange actions. He was an un-daunted boy. When he became adult, he startedworshipping God like the Brahmans. He blewconch-shell, applied Tilak (mark) on foreheadwore Janju (sacred thread) and tied Dhoti (clothsheet used instead of trousers) like the Brah-mans. He vehemently condemned caste systemand untouchability. He preached equality, secu-larism, truthfulness, oneness of God and humanrights. Since his message was of universal broth-erhood, people of all shades irrespective of caste, sex or creed came to listen his sermons.His following was fast increasing. At this, theBrahmans and Piran Ditta Mirasi planned a strat-egy to kill Guru Ravidass Ji. A meeting of sev-eral young-men was to be arranged in desolateand lonely place away from the village whereGuru Ravidass Ji would also be invited. In thecourse of discussion, Guru Ravidass Ji wouldbe manhandled and killed. Guru Ji knew it be-fore hand due to his spiritual power.The meeting started at the venue. In course of discussion a group of persons caught holdof him and tried to kill him. At this juncture, byvirtue of his spiritual powers, Guru Ravidass Jicast his appearance on one Bhalla Nath. As aresult, Bhalla Nath, their companion, looked toothers as Ravidass. They killed him. After a shortwhile, Guru Ji blew conch-shell at his hut. Thekillers were astonished to hear the sound of theconch-shell. They went back to the spot of thescuffle and found that Bhalla Nath had been killedinstead of Guru Ravidass Ji. They repented andprayed Guru Ravidass Ji for forgiveness.

Floating of Pathri (Stone)

According to Hindu scriptures worship of God was the sole right of Brahmins only. Onthe contrary, Shri Guru Ravidass Ji, who belonged to Chamar caste, also started worship of God. He started blowing conch-shell and ringing the bell. He was enlightened and had realised God. He simplified mode of worship and discarded rituals. His religious discourses were most convincing and truthful. As a result, cutting across caste barriers, large number of people became his followers. All this irked the Brahmans. It was a challenge not only to their priestly supremacy but an adverse impact on their source of livelihood also. Brahmans forbade him from worshipping God. But he did not relent and took worship as his birth-right. At last Brahmans approached the then Kashi Naresh Hardev Singh and complained against Guru Ravidass Ji for practising worship of God. Guru Ravidass Ji was summoned to appear in the court of the king. Guru Ji explained in the court that worship is everybody’s right and that he is the truthful worshipper of God. The Pandit priests and Guru Ravidass Ji were asked to bring their Thakur (Idol) whom they worshipped, to the river Ganga on the appointed day. Only that party will be adjudged as the true worshipper whose Thakur floats in the river. Brahman priests and Guru Ravidass Ji arrived at Rajghat of the river Ganga as directed by the king. The Pandits had brought small Thakur stones wrapped in the cotton. But Guru Ravidass Ji was stoutly carrying a 40 kg. heavy-weight square stone on his shoulders with unshakeable confidence. A huge crowd of residents of Benaras gathered on Rajghat of river Ganga to witness the fateful and decisive event. The king and the courtiers also reached the spot. The Brahman priests who were the aggrieved party were given first turn to float their Thakur stones in the river. All the tall fleshy, head shaven, Janju (thick thread) wearing and Tilak applied Brahman priests blew conch-shells and fumbled Vedic Mantras and gently placed their Thakur stones in the river one by one. To their great dismay, all their Thakur stones gently sank downdeep into the water. All of them bowed down their heads. The onlookers were stunned to see the sinking Thakurs of Brahmans. Then was the turn of Guru Ravidass Ji. He lifted his heavy-weight stone on his shoulders. There was thaw. All eyes were focussed on Guru Ji and the stone he carried. Curiosity prevailed. It was a decisive moment. In case his stone also sinks, there will be further gloom for the lowly. Guru ji closed his eyes and stood erect. His face blushed and with all humility he prayed to God.

Meri sangat poch soch din raati Mera karam kutilta janam kubhati.
Raam gosaeeaa jeea ke jeewnaa Mohi naa bisaarho main jan tera. (Rahaao)
Meri haro vipt jan karo subhaaieeCharn naa chhadoo sareer kall jaaiee.
Kaho Ravidass pario teri saabha. Beig milho jan karu naa bilanbaa.

At this moment there was dazzling light in the sky. All the onlookers expected something miraculous. Guru Ji moved ahead to the water and gently placed the stone in light-blue transparent water of the river. To great astonishment of the onlookers the stone (Pathri) floated majestically. Guru Ji gently smiled and thanked God for coming to his rescue. There was spontaneous applause from the viewers. The Pandits had failed in the test. They had been proved false worshippers. The onlookers made a mockery of the Pandits. The king announced victory to Guru Ravidass Ji as the truthful worshipper. All respectfully fell at his feet. Guru Ravidass Ji was seated in a golden palanquin and moved in a procession in the city.

The mindset of the masses was changed andthey developed regard for him and the lowly. They were blissful after having glimpses of GuruJi. A gala-function was organised after sometime in the honour of Guru Ravidas Ji to celebrate his victory. He was seated at a raised cushioned and beautiful seat decorated with jewels. All the courtiers, diwans, intelligentsia, chieftains and selected people formed the gathering. All spoke high of Guru Ravidass Ji. The king and members of his family intantly became followers of Guru Ji. At the end of the function sweets were distributed. The people touched sacred feet of Guru Ji and went back home singing his praise. This event was recorded in the annals of court in calligraphic golden letters. It was an unprecedented and eventful day for the untouchables. New glorious history was created for them on that fateful day. Truth hadcome out victorious against falsehood. False beliefs had been belied!

Disgrace of Guru Ravidass Ji Begot Leprosy

Saintly persons belong to entire mankind. They do not represent any single caste or creed. They cherish universal wellbeing and persuade humanity to follow the path of Truth and Equality. Guru Ravidass Ji was a reputed enlightened saint of medieval Age. Influenced by the truthfulness of his sacred sermons of worship of God, devotees from all castes became his disciples. After having learnt of his fame as an Emancipated saint, a wealthy Seth visited his place tohear his religious discourses. On that day GuruJi threw light on importance of human birth. It was elucidated that rare phenomenon of our birth is a result of our benevolent deeds in our previ-ous life. Dulabh janam pun phal payo The Almighty should, therefore, be wor-shipped to enlighten our this life. Other than His Name all show of rituals is false. At the end of Satsang (religious discourses) Guru Ji distributed nectar from shallow earthen pot lying near his seat. On observing it as dirty water, he threw nectar behind his head and back instead of drinking. It fell partially on his clothes and partially on the floor. The gathering dispersed. The Seth came back home. Thinking that his clothes had been spoiled and polluted by dirty water given by Guru Ravidass Ji, he took off the clothes and donated to a poor man who was suffering from leprosy.The poor man wore the clothes donated by the Seth. The clothes bore blots of nectar given by Guru Ravidass Ji to the Seth. The poor man felt soothing effect on his body as soon ashe put on the clothes. The wounds of leprosy started healing up. He started having sound sleepat night. In a short period, the poor man became completely healthy as if he had never suffered from the disease. On the other hand leprosy de-veloped on the body of the Seth. He got lot of treatment from highly qualified and experienced Vaids and Hakims but the disease continued be-coming serious. The wounds of leprosy became wet. Continuous intense pricking pain upset the psyche of the Seth and plunged him in gloom.

He sat alone and pondered as to whether the disease was due to disgrace of the saint. He went to Guru Ravidass Ji and apologized for throw-ing nectar on his earlier visit. Guru Ji forgave him. He got relief from the disease automatically within a few days. Thereafter, the entire family of the Seth became Guru Ji’s disciples.

Display of Janjus of 4 Ages

The Hindu religious books have put a baron the so-called Shudras from worshipping God. The Shudras were not allowed to wear the Janju (sacred thick thread), put mark (Tilak) on fore-head and observe other religious practices. Guru Ravidass was born to face the brunt. He started wearing Janju, put Tilak (religious mark) on fore-head and wearing Dhoti like that of Pandits. Healso observed other practices which were peculiar to the Brahmans only. All this was taken very ill by the Pandits. In the beginning they tried to impress upon Guru Ravidass Ji not to resort to the practices followed by them. But Guru Ji would not agree. He told them that they were wearing false Janju.

Aggrieved by the in transigent attitude of Guru Ravidass Ji, the Brahmans brought to the notice of the king, the religious practices fol-lowed by Ravidass Ji which are peculiar to the Brahmans only. The king was furious on the is-sue. He sent for Guru Ravidass Ji for clarifying his position. Guru Ravidasss Ji appeared in the court of the king. The Brahmans too had come in large numbers. The issue of wearing Janju (sa-cred thick thread) was discussed. Brahmans said that as per Hindu scriptures, Janju is to be worn by the Brahmans only. Ravidass being untouchable should stop wear-ing it. Guru Ravidass Ji told the king that it has falsely been written in the scriptures that non-Brahmans will not wear Janju. It is injustice with others. However, he will stop wearing Janju on one condition. The Pandits would show him what he was just going to show to the king. Guru Ji took out a Rambi (knife) and struck it into his chest making four-inch long cut. Blood blew profusely.

There was a pool of blood on the floor. He pulled out four Janjus from his chest-one of gold, second of silver, third of copper and fourth of thread-signifying his wearing these Janjus in Satyuga, Treta, Duaaper and Kalyuga.This also demonstrated that the untouchables are pure, truthful and innocent. The Brahmanscut a story figure. Their faces turned pale. Un-derstanding the reality, the king fell on the feet of Guru Ji and begged apology for the harass-ment caused to him. A broad-minded Guru Ji forgave him.At the end of the event, Guru Ji told the king and the gathering that in fact Janju has no significance in attainment of God. He wore it only to demonstrate its futility and to show theright path to the Brahmans. Guru Ji took off his Janju and gave it to the king. Thereafter, he never wore any Janju as such. The pains taken by Guru Ravidass Ji to wrest human rights should not be allowed to go unfelt and unsung. It should further kindle the spirit to continue the pace. Blood flowed from his chest may energise blood of the generations to tread his foot-prints and thrill the era

Meera Bai Saved

Meera Bai was the only child of her parents. Meera Bai was a queen of Chittor and a daughter of the king of Rajasthan. Her mother died when Meera Bai was still in her infancy. She was brought up under the custody of Duda Ji, her grandfather who was a worshipper of God. He had met Guru Ravidass Ji several times. He was under his influence. Meera Bai was also influenced by the devotional bent of mind of her grandfather. It is said that at the time of marriage of Meera Bai, Guru Ravidass Ji blessed the couple.

After her marriage, she adopted Guru Ravidass Ji as her Guru, with the consent of her husband and other elderly members of the family. Religious discourses were held daily at the open compound of 1800 ft. high Kumbh Shyam Mandir near Vijay Sitambh, Chittorgarh. These discourses had deep impact on innocent conscience of Meera Bai. In this compound, Meera used to dance in ecstasy of deep Divine devotion. She used to sing the praise of her Guru.

Guru milya Ravidass ji dini gyan ki gutki.
Chot lagi nijnam hari ki mharey hivrey khatki.

By this time, Meera Bai had become a truthful devotee of Guru Ravidass Ji She had unshakeable faith in Guru Ji. She was absorbed in mediation and company of saints all the time. After the death of her father-in-law, her troubles started. Bikramjit the younger brother of her deceased husband was apprehensive and did not like her remaining aloof in meditation and company of saints. But Meera Bai did not relent.

Bikramjit got her thrown in Gambhiri river at mid-night. She glimpsed Guru Ravidass Ji in the turmoil of waves. The waves comfortably sprang her out to the bank of river. This incident confirmed purity of Meera and she felt blissful.

On another day in her intuitional devotional state of meditation, Meera Bai was talking and laughing with Guru Ravidass Ji in her room. Bikramjit apprehended that she was talking and laughing with some outsider in her room. Out of wrath he unsheathed his sword to kill her. He knocked at the door and asked her angrily to open the door open. There was no man. Room was filled with dazzling light. Meera was absorbed in meditation. This shook him. His conscience cursed him. He fainted. After some time he gained consciousness. Feeling helpless he came out.

Meera Bai faced yet another crucial test. A cushioned bed was prepared. Piercing sharp nails were studded on it. Meera Bai was asked to sit on it as it was purported to be manufactured for her comfortable sleep. She did as directed. By virtue of protection by Guru Ravidass Ji the piercing nails became flowers. She had sound sleep on the bed.

Bikramjit was still haunted by the phobia of killing Meera Bai. He chalked out a strategy to kill Meera Bai in consultation with his ministers. She was to be offered milk mixed with poison by posing it as nectar sent to her by Guru Ravidass Ji. Uda Bai, sister of Bikramjit, secretly told Meera Bai that poison in the milk is going to be offered to her posing as nectar sent to her by Guru Ravidass Ji; that she should not drink it. Meera Bai replied that if it is said to have been sent by Guru Ravidass Ji, she would drink it as nectar. Milk mixed with poison was offered to Meera Bai through Pandit Daya Ram stating that it is nectar sent by Guru Ravidass Ji and she should drink it. In meditation Guru Ravidass Ji told her that although it is poison-mixed-milk yet she should unhesitatingly drink it as nectar. Meera Bai repeated Name of Guru Ravidass Ji devotionally and carried the pot containing poisonous milk. It became nectar. She drank it and became blissful. She sang in ecstasy:

Vish ko pyala Rana Ji melio dyo
mertani ne paye
Kar charanamit pee gayee re,
gun Gobind ra gaye.

Bikramjit Still thought of killing Meera Bai. He thought out another plan. A poisonous snake was to be sent to Meera Bai posing as garland sent by Guru Ravidass Ji for her. The snake would sting her when the pot is opened. Pot carrying poisonous cobra snake was taken to Meera Bai and she was told that it is a garland sent by Guru Ravidass Ji for her. She should wear it. She meditated Guru Ji. By spiritual power of Guru Ravidass Ji the snake became a beautiful garland. She removed disc of the pot. It was a beautiful garland. She picked it up and wore it. She was moved and sang spontaneously:

Saanp pitaro Rana Ji bhejyo,
dyo mertani gal Daar
Hans hans Meera kanth lagayo,
yo to mhan Re nausar haar

Meera Bai thanked Guru Ravidass Ji. She was saved.

Bikramjit was now helpless. He yielded to Meera Bai and begged apology for past attempts to kill her. She forgave him. Bikramjit and members of his family developed deep regard for Guru Ravidass Ji.

Guru Ravidass Ji was a great saint. Meera Bai was his equally great disciples. Her heart beat with Guru Ji; her soul vibrated with Guru Ji. She wrote and sang profuse devotional poetry in praise of Guru Ravidass Ji. Sweet and melodious tunes of hymns of Meera Bai can be heard even today in air in the serene vicinity of Chittor. Radio and Television too sing her devotional songs as the day dawns.

The Chittaurgarh Fort

Meera regarded Guru Ravidas as her spiritual Guru. This enlightened saint was a shoemaker by caste and profession. In 15th century itself he propagated the message that caste has no meaning and its one’s own karmas that decide one’s fate.

One of the many incidents associated with him is that one morning some of his neighbors were going to take bath in the sacred Ganga and asked him also to accompany them. Guru Ravidas had promised to deliver shoes to one of his customers. So, he was not able to join them. When one of his neighbors persisted, then Guru Ravidas uttered his belief saying that: “Man changa tow kathoti mein Ganga“. That is if your heart is pious then the holy river is right in your tub and you need not go anywhere else.

There is a small chhatri in front of Meera’s temple. It has guru Ravidas’ engraved foot print. As a respect to her guru, Meera once wrote:

“Guru Milyaa Raidaasji .. Deeni Gyaan ki gutki ”

*engraved foot prints of Satguru Ravidass Ji

The Episode of Damri (Small Coin)

Kumbh festival was held at Haridwar on the bank of the river Ganga. Pandit Ganga Ram set out to attend this festival. On the way he visited Guru Ravidass Ji at Benaras and paid homage to him. On being asked by Guru Ji he apprised him that he was going to attend Kumbh festival at Haridwar. Guru Ravidass Ji gave one Damri (small coin) to Pandit Ganga Ram with the direction that he should offer this Damri to Ganga Mata only if she accepts it by taking her hand out of water. He was amazed at the unprecedented condition. However, he took the Damri and went away to Haridwar. He thought in his mind that since time immemorial innumerable devotees have offered money, gold and silver ornaments and other precious jewels but Ganga Mata has never accepted these offers by taking out her hand. This was something impossible and unheard of. He took it very lightly.

At Har Ki Pauri, Haridwar, after taking his bath, Pandit Ganga Ram said his prayers and started his journey back home. The Pandit had forgotten to offer Damri of Guru Ravidass Ji to Ganga Mata. Soon his way back home the Pandit felt giddy and fainted and sat down. He fell asleep. He realized that he had forgotten to offer Damri to Ganga Mata. As he woke up, he immediately went back to the holy river.

Pandit Ganga Ram spoke loudly towards the river not believing that he would get any response. He uttered that Ravidass Ji has sent a Damri to her. But it is to be given only if it is accepted by taking out your hand. At this, Ganga Mata lifted her right hand out of water and accepted Damri sent by Guru Ravidass Ji, leaving the Pandit in the shock. In return, Ganga Mata gave a golden Kangan (bangle) to Pandit Ganga Ram and asked him to give it to Guru Ravidass Ji as her gift. Pandit Ganga Ram came back home and gave the Kangan to his wife instead of giving it to Guru Ravidass Ji.

After a few days, at the instance of his wife, he went to the market to sell the precious Kangan as he was in great need of money. Jeweler was astonished to see the precious Kangan. He had never seen such a bangle before. He apprehended the mischief and passed on the bangle to the king that Pandit Ganga Ram had stolen it from somewhere. The king showed the beautiful bangle to his queen. She liked it very much and insisted for one more matching kangan of same type. The Pandit was helpless. The king directed him to arrange one matching bangle, failing which he would be punished. Pandit Ganga Ram broke down and narrated the whole episode as to how he got this bangle. He requested the king and queen to accompany him to Guru Ravidass Ji for the purpose. When they reached there, Guru Ji extended a hearty welcome to them. Pandit Ganga Ram narrated the whole tale of bangle to Guru Ji and repented for the perfidious act and humbly sought forgiveness. He also implored that a matching bangle is needed by the king and the queen.

Mun changa to kathauti mein Ganga

(If mind is pure, the Ganga flows in the small earthen shallow pot).

Broad minded Guru Ji asked them to see in the earthen shallow pot. To their amazement, river Ganga was flowing and there were innumerable bangles floating in it. Guru Ji asked them to identify the matching bangle. All this shook their spirit. They were fascinated and highly impressed by the spiritual power of Guru Ji that they became his followers. They listened evening religious discourses and went back home singing the praise of Guru Ravidass Ji.

Bibi Bhanmati becomes disciple of Guru Ravidass Ji

Bibi Bhanmati of Multan (now in Pakistan) was a pious lady who remained busy in
thakur pooja for major time of the day. However, she did not have any enlightenment. Her
mind remained upset. Somehow, she heard of fame of Guru Ravidass Ji of being divinely enlightened saint. She was told that if she aspires for supreme spiritual bliss, she should go to Guru Ravidass Maharaj Ji and seek his blessings. Bibi Bhanmati along with her husband
reached Guru Ji’s place at Benaras. They bowed at the sacred feet of Guru Ji. Incidentally, Gorakh Nath had also come to Guru Ji for goshti. Gorakh Nath tried to take away stealthily spiritual powers of Guru Ravidass Ji but he failed to shake Guru Ji. Guru Ji spared time for Bibi Bhanmati. She told Guru Ji her spiritual and mental position. Guru Ji recited following shabad:

Har(i) har(i) har(i) har(i) har(i) har(i) hare
Har(i) simrat jan gaye nistar(i) tare (Rahao)
Har(i) ke naam kabir ujjagar.
Janam janam ke kate kagar.
Nimat naamdeo doodh peeaia.
Tuo jag janam sankat nahi aaya.
Jan Ravidass ram rang raataa
Eiou gur prasad narak nahi jataa.

When Bibi Bhanmati understood the meaning of the shabad, she was highly impressed with divine enlightenment of Guru Ji. She was moved. She humbly prayed to Guru Ji for initiation. Guru Ji blessed her and asked her to chant the Name of God as Har(i) har(i) har(i) har(i) for attainment of supreme bliss and to avoid the pains of transmigration. She became disciple of
Satguru Ravidass Ji.

Once Rani Jhalan Bai of Chittorgarh visited Benaras on pilgrimage. She paid homage at many temples. There she heard of perfection in enlightenment of Guru Ravidass Ji. She went to the place of Guru Ravidass Ji at Seer Govardhanpur, Benaras and listened his religious discourses. She was highly convinced and influenced by Guru Ji. She was so much impressed that she prayed Guru Ji to make her his disciple. Guru Ji told her to adopt some high-caste saint as Guru as she belonged to Rajput caste. But she implored and insisted to become his disciple. Seeing her truthfulness and perseverance in conviction, Guru Ji initiated her and made her his disciple. The Pandits could not bear that a Rajput queen should become disciple of a low caste saint. They complained to Raja Sangram Singh that his queen had adopted Ravidass Ji as her Guru. At this the king was annoyed with the queen. However, she talked high of Guru Ji and his enlightenment and charismatic powers that he had. After hearing this, the king also developed regard for Guru Ji and cherished to see him.

The king and queen arranged a Sat Sang (religious congregation for discourses) at Chittorgarh.Guru Ji was prayed to attend the Sat Sang as the Chief Guest. After spiritual deliberations community dinner was arranged in honour of Guru Ravidass Ji. Guru Ravidass Ji knew spiritually that Pandits would not take meals if he sits in line with them. Therefore, he preferred to sit alone in a separate room. However, when service of food was ready the Brahmans stood away and refused to sit with Guru Ravidass Ji, because they said, he belonged to low caste. When Guru Ji came to know all about it he agreed to sit alone in another room. Then the Pandits agreed to take meals. The food was served. When the Pandits began to eat food they were astonished to see that Guru Ravidass Ji was sitting on both sides of each of the Pandits. On right side, he was there and on left side he was again there. The Pandits felt ashamed and repented for their unruly behavior with Guru Ravidass Ji. They prayed Guru Ji to forgive them. They were forgiven. All of them became Guru Ji’s disciples.

Freeing a She-deer from a Hunter

Long ago the area of present LEHARTARA in Benaras was a jungle. Deers and other species of animals inhabited it. Guru Ravidass Ji also used to visit this forest and mediate there in lonely place. Once a hunter laid net to catch a deer. A she-deer was entrapped; it was caught by the hunter and was to kill it. The she-deer implored the hunter that its small children are hungry and are waiting for her for feed. It will come back after feeding them. The hunter would not let it go. However, he agreed to free it against a surety. Guru Ravidass Ji incidentally listened all this. He offered to stand surely for the she-deer. In case it did not come back Guru Ji was willing to pay the price.

The she-deer was allowed to go to see its children. It fed its children and told them the tale of having been caught by the hunter and freed for a short-while on the surety of Guru Ravidass Ji. The children said, “We do not want to survive without you. We also accompany you to be killed with you.” Within the agreed time the she-deer and its children came back to Guru Ji where the hunter was also waiting.

The hunter was astonished to see the truthfulness of she-deer and thought that Guru Ji knew all the episode before hand.

The hunter repented for past killings and took a vow not to kill animals in future. The she-deer and its children were freed. The hunter fell on the feet of Guru Ji and became his follower. The she-deer and its children bowed at the sacred feet of Guru Ji and expressed their gracefulness. Thereafter, the she-deer and its children would bow to Guru Ji whenever he visited the forest.

King Pipa lost Nectar

Guru Ravidass Ji was famous for his enlightened Realisation. He had written many hymns in the praise of God. His sermons discussed in religious discourses were most convincing. His message was of universal appeal. As a result, large number of people attended his religious congregations.

King Pipa had a religious bent of mind. One day he attended Sat Sang (religious discourses) of Guru Ravidass Ji. He was highly impressed with truthful sermons. At the end of Sat Sang, Guru Ravidass Ji distributed nectar to the visitor. King Pipa thought of low caste of Guru Ji and hated water being posed as nectar. Guru Ji poured nectar on his hands to be drunk. Thinking it as polluted water he threw it down through the gap in both the hands together. As a result, nectar fell on the clothes of king Pipa. It left indelible blots on the clothes.

After reaching his home, King Pipa sent the clothes to washerman for washing. The indelible blots could not be removed. Daughter of the washerman sucked the blots for their removal. The moment she sucked the blots, she was enlightened. She could tell as to what was happening in the distant places. All this came to the notice of king Pipa. He enquired from the girl as to how she got this spiritual power. She told him that the moment she sucked blots on his clothes, she was enlightened. King Pipa repented. He realised that he had wasted nectar taking it as water of low caste saint.

He went to Guru Ravidass Ji and begged apology for throwing nectar. He prayed Guru Ji to give him the same again. Guru Ji told him that he had missed the opportunity, as the nectar was not available now. However, on his insistence, Guru Ji initiated him and made him his disciple. King Pipa worshipped God as guided by Guru Ravidass Ji. As a result of Divine devotion he became emancipated. Other members of his family and many visitors also became followers of Guru Ji.

Freedom from the Jail of King Sikandar Lodhi

Sikandar Lodhi was the ruler of Delhi. He was very cruel towards Hindus and their traditions. He even converted a large number of Hindus to Islam.

The Pandits saw Guru Ravidass Ji dressed like a Hindu (Brahman) and reported it to the king. The king ordered his soldiers to put Ravidass Ji in prison and had him locked up. As usual Guru Ji was in meditational mood. It so happened that locks of the jail broke away automatically. Soldiers were amazed to see all this. Guru Ji was seen moving freely outside the jail inspite of strict supervision by the soldiers. All this was brought to the notice of king. The king realized his high-handedness and set Guru Ji free from prison. He begged apology from him. Thereafter, the king never interfered with Guru Ravidass Ji’s affairs.

Reverse Flow of Ganga River

Benaras is a sacred city inhabited on the bank of river Ganga. In Benaras it is a custom to perform last rites of the dead bodies on bank of pious river Ganga. Even from the distant places surrounding Benaras, dead bodies are brought here.

Revered father of Guru Ravidass Ji grew very old. He fell ill and died. Guru Ravidass Ji called his neighbors for performing last rites.

Guru Ravidass Ji along with his companions carried the dead body to the bank of the river where last rites of dead bodies are performed. The Brahmans forbade on the plea that water of river Ganga flows from the spot towards the main city where Brahmans take bath and they would be polluted. Guru Ji felt very much harassed. They again carried the dead boy to a distant place named Nagwa on bank of the river where Brahmans were not likely to be defiled by untouchability. The last rites were performed on dead body of revered father of Guru Ravidass Ji at that spot. They prayed peace of the departed soul. At this time due to spiritual power of Guru Ji there was thunder. Water of river Ganga flowed reverse and a strong wave sprang up towards the dead body and washed away and immersed all the mortal remains. From that moment, at this spot reverse flow of Ganga water continued. Reverse flow of river water took place due to spiritual power of Guru Ravidass Ji.

At this pious place at Nagwa, a fascinating ‘Guru Ravidass Smark and Park’ have been set up. Guru Ravidass Ghat is also proposed to be built on the bank of the river quite adjacent to the park.

Blessings of Gold coins

Guru Ravidass Ji had not accepted the God’s offer of Philosopher’s stone earlier. Once again God visited the place of Guru Ji. He told Guru Ji that large number of devotees visit him daily. There is dire need of running of free community kitchen and a good sarai accommodation for the pilgrims. It is said that a large number of devotees, kings, courtiers used to visit the place of Guru Ji. You need money for all these facilities for the followers. You will, therefore, be getting 5 gold coins daily. Thereafter, 5 gold coins were found daily at Guru’s place. A splendid Satsang Bhawan, residential accommodation and Dharamshala were constructed. Community kitchen was also run. Mandir Mehal kya bahutera Jahan tahan bhagtan ka dera. Satsang is as necessary now as it was in olden times. All of us should attend satsang and adopt sacred teachings of Guru Ravidass Ji.

A Sheikh begged for mercy

Shri Guru Ravidass Ji held religion discourses everyday. He inspired the audience to
shun discrimination on any ground. Equality and fraternity, worship of the Almighty with devotion and detachment from material belongings were the essence of his discourses. He cherished universal well-being. It was appealing to all the Hindus and Muslims alike. His fame spread all around. One Sheikh of Varanasi also heard the fame of Guru Ji. He came to the place of Guru Ravidass Ji and heard his satsang. He observed that many kings, queens and others prominent figures were also there raptly listening the satsang. He was very much impressed with Guru Ji truthful sermons having universal appeal. His many misconceptions were clarified and removed. At the end of satsang, Guru Ji distributed nectar (amrit) from his dauri (shallow earthan pot which he used for soaking leather). Its colour was brown. It was served to all those present including Sheikh. Thinking it as polluted water, he hated and threw it aside. In this process, some drops of the nectar fell on his clothes. After reaching home he took off the clothes and handed over to the maid servant for washing. The maid servant tried to wash off the blots on the clothes but these could not be removed. She put the clothes bearing blots in
mouth and sucked so that the blot was removed. When she sucked the blots, she was divinely enlightened. She started talking God and heavenly bodies. Sheikh also came to know the spiritual powers of the maid servant. He enquired from her as to how she has attained all these powers. She told him that when she sucked the blots on the clothes, she became spiritually emancipated. The Sheikh repented that he had wasted and disregarded the nectar offered to him by Guru Ravidass Ji. He felt himself sinful and disgraced. He came to Guru a few days later and begged apology for throwing nectar thinking it polluted water. All the truthful saints are kind hearted. Guru Ji forgave and told him that you have missed the opportunity. However, he was initiated and asked to chant God’s Name Har(i) Har(i) Har(i). Even now those who want to be spiritually elevated should chant God’s Name Har(i) Har(i) Har(i).

Jealousy of Piran Ditta Mirasi

Guru Ravidass Ji was well wisher of human beings. He never discriminated between anybody on any ground. He preached sat margin his religious discourses. He became famous amongst the people. People of all varnas and castes became disciples of Guru Ravidass Ji. Piran Ditta Mirasi did not like increasing fame of Guru Ji. One day Piran Ditta Mirasi called a meeting of his favourites. They planned to kill Guru Ravidass Ji. On some pretext Guru Ji was called to the Sabha. When Guru Ji arrived, some started hot talk with him. Guru Ji argued with them as to why they were talking rough with him without any reason. Some of them suddenly jumped over Guru Ji to kill him. At this Guru Ji remembered God and recited shabad:

Ram gusaaeaa jeea ke jeewnaa
Moh na bisaar(u) mai jan tera (Rahaao)
Meri har(u) bipit jan krhu subhaaiee
Charan na chhaadao sareer kaljaaiee
Kaho Ravidass parao teri sabha.
Beig milhu jan karu na bilanma

As soon as Guru Ji humbly and devotionally recited above shabad there was dazzling
light in the sky. All members of the Sabha started seeing appearance of Guru Ji on all sides.
They all were confused and scared. At the same time Guru Ji was seen blowing conch-shell at
his house. Guru Ji was rescued by God. They failed in their plan. The Sabha members repented
on their action and begged apology from Guru Ji. The sacred place of occurrence of this incident
is located towards Ganga near Lotu Baba Pir at Seer Govardhanpur Varanasi.

Ganga Ji as a girl

Guru Ravidass Ji arranged a Bhandara. Ganga Ji also appeared in the shape of an unmarried girl to take part in Bhandara. Seeing her unique beauty, the king sent a message to Guru Ji that the girl be married to him. Guru Ji told all to Ganga Ji. Ganga Ji told Guru Ji that king will
harass him. So let the king come for marriage. On the appointed day, the marriage procession arrived at the place of Guru Ravidass Ji. Fully adorned Ganga appeared. When she saw the king, she disappeared in the shallow earthen pot showing flowing Ganga. At this such a strong stream of water out-flowed from the pot that the entire marriage procession was drowned. Every body realised that it was Ganga Ji in the shape of girl who had come to seek blessings from Guru Ravidass Ji.

*Bhandara and feeding the poor. Bhandara means Auspicious food or gifted food. It is also known as Anna danam.

Karma Bai Ji – the disciple of Satguru Ravidass Ji

Karma Bai – the disciple of Satguru Ravidass Ji Karma Bai was divinely enlightened lady.
Karma Bai’s fame spread all around. Saints visited her place from far and near. One day a saint
said, ‘Karma ! how is it that God takes meals at your home daily.’ She told while preparing
meals chapattis, khichri for the God, I chant the sacred Name of God. When the meals
are ready, all the items are kept in proper manner and are covered with a clean cloth. The saint
told her that this is not the proper manner. She should wash wood needed as fuel, mud plaster
the kitchen, bathe and then prepare meals. From next day she started the new process. One day while observing the new process, the meals were prepared late. God had to wait. God was still busy in eating khichri, Sant Rama Nand also prayed him to take meals with him. God had to
go to Sant Rama Nand Ji immediately. He could not even cleanse khichri from his face and hands. Sant Rana Nand Ji enquired all about from the God. God told that he daily took Khichri at the house of Karma Bai. Today she was late in preparing Khichri. ‘I was still taking Khichri that
you called me’. Hearing all this, Sant Rama Nand Ji was astonished to know that God takes meals at the house of Karma Bai! The priest went to Karma Bai and enquired on to how God comes to her house daily. She told him that while preparing meals she did simran of naam on
blessings of Satguru Ravidass Ji that God takes meals at my house every day. Sant Rama Nand
requested Karma Bai to pray to God to show me His appearance. Next day she requested God to let Sant Rama Nand have His darshan. God told that Sant Rama Nand is not clean at heart; he nurtures duality. She again requested that kindly do have mercy on him and bless him with your darshan. At the instance of Karma Bai God blessed Sant Rama Nand Ji with His darshan.

Dialogue of Satguru Ravidass Ji with Alawadi King

Shri Jasbir Singh Sabar, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar has mentioned on Page 71
of his book “Bhakt Ravidass” that the dialogue being narrated is written at Page 463, 466, 487
of manuscript Sikh Reference Library Amritsar written in Samvat 1786. Alwadi was king at Benaras. The qazis were jealous of increasing popularity of Satguru Ravidass Ji. They complained to the king that a chamar is preaching religious tenets. Many persons have become his disciples. On their instigation king Alawadi called Guru Ji to his court. Guru Ji was seated beside the seat of the king. Beside several persons of Guru Ravidass’s community
carrying leather on their heads also accompanied Guru Ravidass Ji. The king felt foul
smell of leather. The persons carrying leather were beaten and expelled from the court yard.
The king asked Guru Ravidass Ji that you were initiating others as your disciples, show some
miracle. Guru Ji said that miracle has already been shown. He told that “I was worshipping
God by chanting His Naam, you have seated me by your side although I am also Chamar whereas you have expelled others of my community from your darbar.”

Naagar Janan meri jaat(i) bikhiaat Chamaarun
Ride raam govind gun saaran.
Guru Ji told, “O! residents of Benaras I am
Chamar by caste. I am seated near the seat of
the king in darbar because I am worshipping God
whereas my companions carrying leather had
been shunted out.”
Sursari salal krit baaruni re
Sant jan karat nahi paann
Suraa apviter nat awar jal re
Sursari milat nahi hoie aann.
If alcohol is prepared out of Ganga water, it
is disliked. When alcohol is prepared with well
water and thrown in Ganga it mixes with Ganga
water. It is worshiped.
Tar tar(i) apviter kar(i) maaneeaai re
Jaise kaagaraa karat bichaarn
Bhagat(i) bhaguot likheeaai tih(i) uoopre
Poojeeai kar(i) namaskarn
Leaves of TAR tree are considered impure.
But when paper is prepared out of Tar leaves
and God’s praise is written on this paper, every
body bows before it.
Meri jaat(i) kut bandhla dhor dhouwanta
Nith(i) baanaarasi aas paasaa
Ab bipar pardhan tih(i) karih dhanduout(i)
Tere naam sarnaaie Ravidass daasaa.

I am cobbler by caste. People of my caste still carry away dead bodies around Benaras every
day. Since I worship God, I am divinely emancipated. Even the distinguished pandits lay
flat before me in reverence. After hearing all this, the king was highly impressed and gave gold chowki and large sums of money to Guru Ji. The qazis again complained to the king that Ravidass Ji has disregarded the offerings given to him. He had distributed entire money to the destitutes and threw gold chowki in the Ganga. The king felt angry. He again called for Guru Ravidass Ji and asked all about the gold chowki. The king insisted to return him the same gold chowki. Guru Ji took the king to the Ganga. He spoke to Ganga that his gold chowki may be given back to him. Ganga threw seven gold chowkis out in a strong wave. The king
said that his is only one chowki, how it is that these are seven chowkis. Guru Ji told the king
that in a single day one gold chowki has multiplied to seven chowkis. Had it remained there
for more days it would have multiplied manifold. All these would have been for your comfort.
Since the original gold chowki has been taken back from the Ganga, nothing will increase
now. The king realised his blunder and begged apology from Guru Ravidass Ji. He bowed to
the sacred feet of Guru Ravidass Ji in reverence and scolded the Qazis.

Dialogue of Guru Ravidass Ji with Guru Kabir Ji and Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Satguru Ravidass Ji used to hold religious discoursed daily at Seer Govardhanpur, Benaras.
Satguru Kabir JI also held satsang daily at Kabir Chaura, Benaras. Both of them often met each other and held mutual discussions on religion, Naam, satsang, ritualism, enlightenment,
saadhsangat, Hari(i), discrimination, high and low, caste system, secularism, equality, fraternity, truth, human beings and host of other topics. Shri Lekh Raj Parwana writes in his book “Sri Guru Ravidass Jeewan ate Kirtaan” that Guru Nanak Dev Ji held three counts of dialogues with Guru Ravidass Ji. Their first meeting and goshti was held at Chuharkana (Nankana Sahib) when Guru Nanak Dev Ji was still in boyhood. Five saints Kabir Ji, Ravidass Ji, Sain Ji, Peepa Ji and Dhanna Ji had travelled to Punjab for preaching religiosity. Guru Nanak Dev Ji had been given twenty rupees from his revered father Mehta Kalu Ji for a profitable deal. He spent the amount of twenty rupees in the service of the above saints and got their blessings. He deemed it as Sacha Sauda. Guru Nanak Dev Ji spiritually knew everything. He might have
judged their divinity as a regard of which he served them. Father Mehta Kalu Ji scolded Guru Nanak when he learnt that the five saints belonged to low caste. Feeling it a social stigma, he slapped Guru Nanak Dev Ji and said that Guru Ravidass Ji and Guru Kabir Ji belonged to low-caste and that why had he developed his relations with them. At this Guru Nanak Dev Ji blatantly condemned jaat-paat and stoutly reacted.

Neechan andir neech jaat neecha huu at(i) neech
Nanak tin ke sang saath waddyan so kya rees.

Second goshti of Guru Ravidass Ji with Guru Nanak Dev Ji took place when Guru Ravidass
Ji, along with sant-mandli, visited Punjab 125 years later. They reached Sultanpur after meeting their friends, devotees, saints and disciples. The sant smagam was fixed to be held at the spot where gurdwara Sant Ghat stands today. In this sant smagam it appears the concepts of God, formless, omniscient, omnipresent, Sach Khand (abode of God), pervading everywhere in the Universe, - were discussed. The discussion held here formed the basis of the concepts of Udasian of Guru Nanak Dev Ji which are stated to have commenced from the Sant Ghat site.
Third goshti of Guru Nanak Dev Ji was held with Guru Ravidass Ji and Guru Kabir Ji at
Gopaldass di bagichi at Kashi where Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh stands today. At this meeting final shape was given to entire fabric of Bhakti Andolan in the interest of human beings. A strategy
was also chalked out for smooth management of the movement. In the same visit to Benaras Guru Nanak Dev Ji discussed various divine concepts with Sant Rama Nand Ji and Swami Shankracharya Ji. Thereafter, again there was general meeting of the saints. Guru Ravidass
Ji was the champion on religious and spiritual reforms in the meeting. The road map of religious,
social and political reforms was prepared in this sant smagam. Millions and millions of human beings engrossed in superstitions and rituals were to be freed from its quagmire and the concept of ik om (one God) was to be taken down to the masses. The ideal of Guru Ravidass
Ji was to liberate millions of human beings including scholars, saints, Sidhs, brahmans from
superstitions, rituals and false and misplaced beliefs and practices and to motivate them to
believe in one God. It was decided in this goshti that non-violent movement should be started for amelioration of shudras and raising their social status to equality, liberation of womanhood, removal of injustice and to raise voice against the atrocities perpetrated by the kings on their subjects.

Raja Chander Partap

Raja Chander Partap of Ghazipur had heard the fame of Guru Ravidass Ji. He attended the mass feeding function (Yagg) organized by Maharana Sangha at Udaipur where Guru Ravidass Ji was also invited. At the end of the function, Raja Chander Partap humbly prayed to Satguru Ji to pay his pious visit to his palace at Ghazipur to grace the occasion of mass feeding function. Rana Sangha assured that in case Satguru Ji wished, he would escort him to Ghazipur. Satguru Ji blessed and accepted the invitation. Meera Bai and Karma Bai would also accompany Guru Ji.
On the scheduled day Guru Ji reached the palace of Raja Chander Partap. He was received
honourably by the king, his queens, courtiers and other dignitaries. He was garlanded profusely.
Guru Ji was seated in the specially decorated room in the palace. A big mass feeding function (yagg) was organized in which Guru Ji participated. All neighboring kings and relatives also attended the ceremony. Next day Guru Ji came back to his place.

Dialogue with Gorakh Nath

Gorakh Nath heard popularity of Guru Ravidass Ji. One day Gorakh Nath visited Seer Govardhanpur, Varanasi and enquired about the place of Guru Ravidass Ji. He came to the place where Guru Ji lived. Guru Ji welcomed Gorakh Nath and offered him the seat. He thanked Gorakh Nath for having visited him. Gorakh Nath told Guru Ji that he has heard his fame. As such, he had come to see him. Gorakh Nath gave his shoe to Guru Ji to be mended. Gorakh Nath said that mending shoes is a mean occupation. You should not carry it on. I give you a precious herb. Warm it and touch any metal; it will turn the metal into gold. Construct a good house in place of the hut. Guru Ji replied that he had appeared on this earth for joining the souls which are departed from the Almighty. He cut a piece of leather. Put it at a proper place on the shoe of Gorakh Nath. He put the yarn in his mouth for readying it for sewing the shoe. As the cotton thread passed through Guru Ji’s mouth, it turned into gold. Gorakh Nath was astonished to see all this. He came to know that Guru Ravidass Ji possessed supreme spiritual powers. Ignorant people misunderstand him as lowly. He wished Guru Ravidass Ji to become his disciple. Gorakh Nath asked Guru Ji to look into his toombi. Guru Ji saw that in toombi there were jewels, diamonds, and golden Sumer Parbat. Guru Ji said that you are great. I praise you. He then asked Gorakh Nath to look into his dauri ( shallow earthen pot containing water in which leather is soaked for repair of shoes). Gorakh Nath saw viraat swaroop , jarh, chetan, Asthawar, Jangam, life, 5 elements- sky, air, fire, water, earth, Kuber, Inder, other devtas, moon, sun, stars, Vishnu, Brahma, Shiv and the Universe. Gorakh Nath became numb to see all this. His pride was shaken. He prayed to Guru Ji to be apologized. He fell on Guru Ji’s feet. Guru Ji told him that ridhian sidhian are nothing before God’s Name. God’s Name is source of all comforts. Guru Ji preached that he who mingles with God, all the godly powers appear in his palm.

Meeting of Guru Ravidass Ji with Sadhna Ji & Guru Ravidass Ji released from jail by Sikandar Lodhi

Sadhna Pir used to kill birds and sell their meat in the market. On the other hand Guru Ravidass Ji preached non-killing of animals. Sadhna Ji did not like his preachings. One day he came to the place of Guru Ravidass Ji and asked him to be converted to Islam as it did not observe caste system. It is a sacred religion. Guru Ravidass Ji told Sadhna Ji to shun his pride and
chant God’s Name. Sadhna Ji was highly impressed with the arguments of Guru Ji and became
his disciple. At some other time Sadhna Ji visited King Sikandar Lodhi and spoke high of Guru Ravidass Ji and that he had become his disciple. Sikandar Lodhi was annoyed. He called Guru Ravidass Ji through Sadhna Ji. Sikandar Lodhi was a cruel king. As Guru Ravidass Ji appeared in the court he was asked to be converted to Islam but Guru Ji refused to oblige the king. At this Guru Ravidass Ji was sent to jail. He sat in Samadhi and worshipped God. God took pity on Guru Ji. He appeared before him and talked with him. When Sikandar Lodhi visited jail in the evening, he overheard voice of God. “You have troubled my worshipper. Your dynasty will be annihilated.” The king was stunned and trembled to hear all this. He went to Guru Ravidass Ji, repented and begged his apology. He was released immediately. King Sikandar Lodhi gave a word to Guru Ji that in future he will not harass any body. Sikandar Lodhi had a precious diamond. He offered it to Guru Ravidass Ji. Guru Ji refused the offer. Guru Ji told the king that he was worshipper of Diamond- the God. Har(i) so heera chhadh(i) kai karih aan kee aas,
Te nar dojak jaahige sat bhaakhai Ravidass.

Impact of teachings of Guru Ravidass Ji on Babur

As a result of his victory in Battle of Panipat in 1526 Babur was the first Mughal King who occupied throne in Delhi. He had brutally massacred lakhs of innocent bodies. However, whatever he did, he did in the name of God. During the course of advance in Indian Territory he came across pirs, saints, rishis also. He also heard of spiritual powers of Guru Ravidass Ji. Once he took his son Humayun along and went to see Guru Ravidass Ji. At that time Guru Ji was sitting at his place. Babur bowed at the feet of Guru Ji in reverence. Guru Ji scolded Babur for murdering innocent bodies. He asked him to shun pride. Kyon Babur hua babra, man mein adhik ghumaan Kroron prani maar kar, tu ne kiya paap mahaan. Therefore, Babur developed regard for Guru Ji. His teachings stunned Babur. In remorse he distributed money of his treasures at Delhi and Agra to the poor and destitute. Now the subjects developed respect for Babur and called him QALANDAR or FAQIR.

Udasis of Guru Ravidass Maharaj Ji

Guru Ravidass Ji was an institution in himself. He wanted to make amends in the social
and religious system. He set out for spreading his teachings to far off places. Guru Ji travelled
to distant places to spread his message. Due to discrimination the spots built in his memory
have been destroyed. Today there is no remnant showing his visit to any distant place. He not
only wrote amritbani but also travelled all corners of the countries, as below, to make common man understand his philosophy of removing caste system, discrimination, ignorance, illiteracy, poverty, illusion.

Kashipur to Gorakhpur, Partapgarh,Shahjahanpur. Then he proceeded up to Himachal mountains. All the devotees accompanying him were asked to go back to their places. He directed that henceforth his son would initiate the disciples and that he would come back after a long time. Guru Ji was instrumental in bringing about many revolutionary reforms in society. The age old unhealthy rituals and traditions were abandoned. Large number of sinful bodies were
blessed who started their fresh pious lives. When they were shown the right path even the religious hard core fanatics repented and begged apology. Many patients struggling for life and
death were cured. Whosoever came to his shelter, all were emancipated and they became pious

Udasi – 3

Satguru Ravidass Ji travelled to Arabs countries also. He held dialogues with chiefs of various
religions and innumerable persons were blessed with the powers he had. We find mention
of various places in Guru Ji’s bani. In shabad ‘Begumpura sehar ko naon’ there is mention of
Abadaan . As per mahan kosh of Bhai Kahan Singh it is a famous place in Iran. It indicates
that Guru Ji visited Arab country also. He visited Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arab, Madina and
Mecca and Afghanistan. In his journey to all these places large number of muslims became
his disciples. Some monuments might have been erected in Guru Ji’s memory by his followers in these countries. But these could not have been maintained.

Travel to Himachal and Sirdhar Parbat

There is mention in Guru Nanak Dev Janam Sakhi that Guru Nanak Dev Ji along with Bhai Bala and Mardana visited Himachal and Sirdhar Parbat. Bhai Bala and Mardana asked Guru Nanak Dev Ji if any body else has also visited this place before them. Guru Nanak Dev Ji told them that Guru Kabir Ji and Guru Ravidass Ji have visited his place. As such Guru Ravidass Ji, visited Himachal and Sirdhar parbat also. Virtually Guru Ravidass Ji travelled
entire India and Arabian countries. There is, however, utmost need of research work in travels
of Guru Ji.

Sachkhand gaman of Guru Ravidass Ji

Valmiki, Indian Sage

Valmiki is that legendary Indian sage, who was solely responsible for instilling ancient literature into countrymen.

Valmiki is celebrated and legendary as the harbinger of Sanskrit literature. He is the author of the epic, Ramayana, based on the acknowledgment in the text of the epic itself. Valmiki is the inventor of the Vedic poetic metre ?loka, which re-determined the form of Sanskrit poetry in several later works.

Valmiki, Indian Sage Valmiki is venerated as the first poet in Hinduism. At least by the 1st century CE, Valmiki`s reputation as the sire of Indian poetry appears to have been already legendary, as Ashvagosha penned down in the Buddhacarita.

Valmiki was born as `Ratnakar`, with legendary tones and strings to become a Hindu sage. He was the tenth child of Pracheta. There is actually a religion established on Valmiki`s teachings, named as Valmikism. The Ramayana consists of 24,001 verses in seven cantos (kandas) and speaks about the story of Lord Rama and Sita. Valmiki Ramayana is dated variously, starting from 500 B.C. to 100 B.C. Maharshi Valmiki belongs from a Kirata Bhil community, which was essentially a backward caste community. His name before he went on to become Adi-Kavi (prime poet) who recorded the Ramayana, was Vailya.

Universally accepted and acclaimed as as adi-kavi, the foremost among the poets in India, he was also the principal to determine a metrical expression of gigantic proportion. He had the perceptivity to match the emotional elation of an optimistic soul, empowered with compassion and concern for every living being. It was in such a state of recognition of the human being with the universal that his eternal epic, the Ramayana, burst forth from his core.

Maharishi Valmiki is acknowledged by various Indian communities as the author of the Yoga Vasistha; this specific piece of work was instructed to Rama when he had turned cynical towards the world at large. The Yoga Vasistha is an unsurpassed piece of text which discusses a broad array of philosophical issues. Moreover, it appears to have been penned more than 5000 years ago. In Valmiki`s hermitage he taught both girl and boy students. Valmiki is also known to have given Sita shelter after her deportation from Ayodhya.

However, this Sanskrit scholar, Valmiki is singly noted out as the author of Ramayana, the acclaimed epic in Indian mythology ever written. Yet, his penning down the Ramayana was not just a mere cause or sake to perform for the society. His was a task of self-appreciation, of self-judgement, to make the story of that superlative man known to the world. Approximately three thousand years ago, Valmiki was residing in a remote forest ashram, practising asceticism with his disciples. One day, the wandering sage Narada visited the ashram and was asked by Valmiki if he knew of a perfect man. Narada said, indeed, he did know of such a person, and then recited to Valmiki and his disciples a story of an ideal man.

Lord Brahma, Indian Sage Some days later, Valmiki happened to witness a hunter killing a kraunchya (crane) bird. The crane`s partner was left dejected and shed tears ceaselessly. Valmiki was overpowered by anger at the hunter`s action and grieved at the bird`s loss. He felt impelled to take an immediate action, but checked himself with difficulty.

After his anger and sorrow were cooled down, he was in a mood to question his outrage. After so many years of practising meditation and asceticism, he was still not successful to master his own emotions. For a while he had abandoned all hope, but then he recollected the story Narada had recited to him. He thought about the significances of the story, about the options weighed by the protagonist and how he had indeed demonstrated great command over his own thoughts, words, deeds and feelings. Valmiki felt enthused by the reminiscence and was filled with a calm composure, such as he had never felt before.

As he recalled the tale of that perfect man of whom Narada had spoken, he discovered that he was enumerating it in a specific metre and rhythm. He realised that this rhythm or metre corresponded to the descanting cries of the kraunchya bird, as if in homage to the loss that had invigorated his reminiscence. Right away, Valmiki resolved to compose his own version of the story, using the new form of metre, that others might hear it and be as invigorated as he was.

However Narada`s story was only just a mere narration of the events, a mere plot outline. In order to make the retelling captivating and outstanding to ordinary listeners, Valmiki would have to add and beautify substantially, filling in details and devising incidents from his imaginative genius. He would have to dramatise the whole story in order to bring out the sinewy dilemmas faced by the protagonist.

However, Valmiki himself was in a huge dilemma, as he had no right to retell it his way. After all, this was not his story; it was a tale told to him; a tale of a real man and real events. At this point, Valmiki was visited by Lord Brahma himself. The Creator of the universe assured him to set his worries apart and begin framing the work he had in mind.

Lord Brahma instructed Valmiki to recite the tale of Rama as he had heard it from Narada. Brahma also instructed him to recite those deeds of Rama that are already known as well as those that are not, his adventures, his battles, the acts of Sita - known and unknown. Valmiki had that intention to write as per instructed, so that Rama`s tale may prevail on earth for as long as the mountains and the rivers exist.

Valmiki needed no further urging. He began writing his poem. He titled it, Rama-yana, meaning literally, The Movements (or Travels) of Rama.

The first thing Valmiki realised after wrapping his composition was that it was incomplete. The story would serve no good if could not be retold. During his time and age, a bard would generally recite his compositions himself, possibly earning some favour or payment in coin or kind. But Valmiki knew that while the structure of the story was his creation, the story itself belonged to all his countrymen. He recalled Brahma`s exhortation that Rama`s story must prevail on earth for as long as the mountains and the rivers exist.

Lord narada, Indian Sage Hence he taught it to his disciples, among whose numbers were two young boys whose mother had sought refuge with him years ago. Those two boys, Luv and Kusa, then journeyed from place to place, reciting the Ramayana as composed by their guru. In time, destiny brought them before the very Rama illustrated in the poem. Rama recognised at once that the poem mentioned him and comprehended that these boys could be none other than his sons by the ostracised Sita. Called upon by the terribly interested king, Valmiki himself then appeared before Rama and adjured him to take back Sita.

Later, Rama asked Valmiki to frame an annexed part to the poem, so that he himself, Rama Chandra, might realise what would become of him in future. Valmiki obeyed this extraordinary command and this annexed section became the Uttara Kaand of his poem.

Valmiki`s Sanskrit rendition of the tale was a luminous work under any parameter, ancient or modern. Its appeal, beauty and originality is honestly matchless. It is a true masterwork of Indian literature, the `adi-kavya` which stands as the fountainhead of Indian cultural proof.

Today, although, some are of the faith that the first and seventh kaands, as well as a number of passages within the other kaands, were all additions by later writers who chose to remain anonymous.

Perhaps the earliest retelling of Valmiki`s poem can be found in the pages of that vast ocean of stories that one acknowledges as the Mahabharata. When Krishna Dwaipayana-Vyasa, more popularly known today as Ved Vyas, composed his equally legendary epic, he retold the story of the Ramayana in one passage. His retelling differs in small but significant ways.

Early Life of Valmiki, Indian Sage: Early life of Valmiki was an entirely different one, in which he used to earn his living as a highway robber, by depriving innocent men from their belongings. Valmiki`s family was wholly unaware of his guilts, which was brought to light by Lord Narada. In fact, it was Narada who helped Valmiki turn into a disciplined human being. He was changed from the robber in his early life, to Valmiki the sage, forever creating history by writing Ramayana.

THOUGHTS FOR HONEST EARNING

Friends, realize that what will you do the money your earning and storing with many many efforts and labour of body and mind in this mortal world? There is nothing bad in earning money by good deeds and spent on good needs of our and ours. When a person becomes earner he does not think that how much he has to earn & spend on his needs or how much he has to store for the sake of his future, or his generations. If one earn and saves for his future than there seems no evil in storing money, but if a person try to earn for his generations and makes storing of money than it becomes a evil to the society and even proves a curse to the earner. Because he becomes the bonded labourer of his generations whom he can not see and use to earn by so many ways of earning and committing sins. Here Sri Guru Nanak Saheb ji says about Maya that Papa Bajon Na Hove Ikathi, Te Moiyan Naal Na Jaai, to realize that this wealth can not be stored without doing the sins, and this wealth can not be taken with the person after his death. Iran’s King, Sekh Shaadi Ji have such a abundant wealth that keys of his wealth stores were use to loaded on 35 Camels, Alexander was the King of whole Earth but ultimately they have to tell the world that nothing will go with and every thing will be left here only. Then become so wise in earning the money, and storing the money. Actually, the man has forgotten God and his message while coming to earth and in the atmosphere of world. But saints the true Messengers of God makes people to remember the message of God that live in this World gladly and earn the holy Bhakti of God which is our ultimate goal of our life. And this life is upto 100-120 years so do good Karmas so that your soul can prosper and one must not prosper this world only. For leading a standard life earning well is must but for leading a standard life doing sins for earning is not recommended in any form. Man should earn timely and spend it timely otherwise it is not sure that the earner can use the earned money in his life span. There is no worth in storing endless money, only good people can do the best with wise distribution/spending of money among family, society, nation and world. My mean to say that do not be so much strenuous to earn and store money, earn well, spend and save proportionally. A little savings makes the man wise and prosper. Otherwise all empires standing here, will remain here and will be perish. If one forgets God and his Bhakti in his life span weeps bitterly at the last day of his life on this planet. So, oh ! Poor man do not waste your life in earning money only, give some time to you and God too, otherwise you will repent . Just Follow this holy spirit immediately. Thankyou please.

PROBITY OF GOD IS FETHOMABLE?

Friends, The Probity of God is unfathomable by any human acts. There is no yard so far to stick with in this case so far. Parameters of his access are tender love, faith devotion, kindness, help and promotion of humans and other living beings over this planet. In the past time the weaponry was so sophisticated that no body can imagine even now a days. Realise, People can move three Lokas with the mind speed elsewhere. And light, rain, fire, dust, thunder storm were possible by a single arrow. all the ocean can be dried up even with a single arrow. think and think over it, this is not a miracle for scientists. God's creations are infinite, while scientists researches/creation are proving destructive, because these can be used by any ordinary person in any convulsed state of mind, while the earlier one can be used only by Good and able persons who have love and tolerance toward this world and God. The Modern Achievements are worthy if these are used for well being of humanity and promotion of this worlds all living beings and classes. Use of Weapons have never created this World but just spoiled it for many many centuries. the earth becomes infertile and people faces calamities and aakaals for many many centuries. People may born with multiple disabilities. By the grace of Almighty God Good Peoples with their skilled labour of body and mind have made this planet flourish in many many ways. It is the first and foremost duty of all Good Peoples/Nations/World, not let anyone to destruct the peace and structure of this planet/soil by use of Nuclear or other Weaponry. If it happened, the God can not be held responsible for this act of destruction and we the humans and living being have to suffer and face the remained. So Hey, Good Souls It is to injuvenate and awaken the sleeping souls toward this immediate duty and safeguarding need of the Humanity/ World.

It is a very diligent issue now, it is upto brass and top peoples to adhere with good action by realising and stopping any Nuke use. Some Good Nations and People are already doing well and World's good peoples/community will remain thankful and grateful of them and they will reap the blessing of God too. Accentrely stupid people do not admit the truth?

Thanking you, please.

Savitri and Satyavan

The oldest known version of the story of Savitri and Satyavan is found in "The Book of the Forest" of the Mahabharata.The story occurs as a multiple embedded narratives in the Mahabharata as told by Markandeya. When Yudhisthira asks Markandeya whether there has ever been a woman whose devotion matched Draupadi’s, Markandeya replies by relating this story:The childless king of Madra, Asvapati, lives ascetically for many years and offers oblations to Sun God Savitr. His consort is Malavi. He wishes to have a son for his lineage. Finally, pleased by the prayers, God Savitr appears to him and grants him a boon: he will soon have a daughter. The king is joyful at the prospect of a child. She is born and named Savitri in honor of the god. Savitri is born out of devotion and asceticism, traits she will herself practice.

Savitri is so beautiful and pure, she intimidates all the men in the vicinity. When she reaches the age of marriage, no man asks for her hand, so her father tells her to find a husband on her own. She sets out on a pilgrimage for this purpose and finds Satyavan, the son of a blind king named Dyumatsena, who after he had lost everything including his sight, lives in exile as a forest-dweller.

Savitri returns to find her father speaking with Sage Narada who announces that Savitri has made a bad choice: although perfect in every way, Satyavan is destined to die one year from that day. In response to her father’s pleas to choose a more suitable husband, Savitri insists that she will choose her husband but once. After Narada announces his agreement with Savitri, Ashwapati acquiesces. Savitri and Satyavan are married, and she goes to live in the forest. Immediately after the marriage, Savitri wears the clothing of a hermit and lives in perfect obedience and respect to her new parents-in-law and husband.

Three days before the foreseen death of Satyavan, Savitri takes a vow of fasting and vigil. Her father-in-law tells her she has taken on too harsh a regimen, but Savitri replies that she has taken an oath to perform these austerities, at which Dyumatsena offers his support.The morning of Satyavan’s predicted death, Savitri asks for her father-in-law’s permission to accompany her husband into the forest. Since she has never asked for anything during the entire year she has spent at the hermitage, Dyumatsena grants her wish. They go and while Satyavan is splitting wood, he suddenly becomes weak and lays his head in Savitri’s lap. Yama himself, the god of Death, comes to claim the soul of Satyavan. Savitri follows Yama as he carries the soul away. When he tries to convince her to turn back, she offers successive formulas of wisdom. First she praises obedience to Dharma, then friendship with the strict, then Yama himself for his just rule, then Yama as King of Dharma, and finally noble conduct with no expectation of return. Impressed at each speech, Yama praises both the content and style of her words and offers any boon, except the life of Satyavan. She first asks for eyesight and restoration of the kingdom for her father-in-law, then a hundred sons for her father, and then a hundred sons for herself and Satyavan. The last wish creates a dilemma for Yama, as it would indirectly grant the life of Satyavan. However, impressed by Savitri's dedication and purity, he offers one more time for her to choose any boon, but this time omitting "except for the life of Satyavan". Savitri instantly asks for Satyavan to return to life. Yama grants life to Satyavan and blesses Savitri's life with eternal happiness.

Satyavan awakens as though he has been in a deep sleep and returns to his parents along with his wife. Meanwhile at their home, Dyumatsena regains his eyesight before Savitri and Satyavan return. Since Satyavan still does not know what happened, Savitri relays the story to her parents-in-law, husband, and the gathered ascetics. As they praise her, Dyumatsena’s ministers arrive with news of the death of his usurper. Joyfully, the king and his entourage return to his kingdom.

SHRI GURU RAVIDASS JI MAHARAJ- A LITTLE INTRO:

Bhagat Ravidas Ji was pious and religious minded right from the beginning and thus came in contact with many spiritual men and adopted Swami Ramanand Ji as his Guru. Bhagat Ravidas Ji made his living as a cobbler. He distributed a major part of his income among the poor and needly. Once Queen Jallibai presented him with costly clothes and ornaments as depicted above. He enlightened her by saying that the name of God was more precious than the ornaments. By the turn of the fourteenth century, the Muslim rule had been comfortably established in India. When Bhagat Ramanand (1366 - 1467 A.D.) came to Northern India and made Kashi/Benares as his home, he noted that the Muslim religion had penetrated: a considerable number of Hindus had 'been converted, and they had adopted Islam as their religion. Ramanand was an orthodox devotee of Shiva. He was, no doubt, impressed with the Islamic theory of Oneness of God and Feeling of Equality in social set up, except Ruling Feudal Elite, the Muslims of all classes mingled indistinctivety in every aspect of life - living, eating, religious ceremonies, marriages, etc. But he was very much distressed to observe that these criteria were enhancing the conversion of Hindus, particularly of low-caste, into Islam. He forsook the Shivaite austere practices endowed to him by his Guru, Ramanuj, and initiated the veneration of the Unjversal Brotherhood. He accepted Hindus of low-caste and Muslims to join him in worship, and become his followers. Among his most noted disciples were Kabir - a Muslim weaver, Sam - a barber, Dhanna - a cultivator, and Ravidas, a cobbler.

There is consensus that Bhagat Ravidas was born on Maghushudhi 14 Pooranmashi in Smt. 1456, i.e. February 1399 in Kashi. His parents were in the leather trade, and were very well off. He was barely five days old when Bhagat Ramanand visited his house and blessed the child. When he reached the age of discretion, his father inspired him to join the family business. But Ravidas was imbued with with celestial and humane values. The money he received from his father for business, he spent in the welfare of the Saints and needy. His father was extremely perturbed and banished him from the house. By thAs time, Ravidas was already married. He did not resent, quietly left the house, started living in a make-shift hut with his wife, and set up a small wayside shop of mending shoes.

He did not abandon his love for the God and built a Temple of clay walls and thatched roof. He installed an idol made out of hide in the Temple. His extreme devotion and universal love induced hundreds of people of all castes to join him in worship. This resulted in enviousness among the Brahmin priests who raised the matter in the Court of Muslim Nawab of Kashi. The Nawab was a man of righteousness, and put the matter to a miraculous test. Bhagat Ravidas went into meditation and recited one of his hymns (Gauri Purbi P.346) and requested the Almighty "Take pity on me that my. doubts may be dispelled." His prayer was answered, and his adoration acclaimed the triumph in the miraculous test. To express his gratitude he sang his hymn (Asa P. 1606), "Thou art sandal and I am the poor castor-plant, dwelling close to thee. From a mean tree I have become sublime and Thine fragrance, exquisite fragrance, now, abides in me."

A rich man tried to allure him with the charm of wealth. He gave the Bhagat a philosopher's stone by the touch of which one could change any article into gold. In spite of Bhagat's refusal the rich man left the stone hung under the ceiling. When he came back after one year, the stone was still hanging there. The rich man announced to the world the indisputable godliness of Bhagat Ravidas. This episode is considered to be an ecclesiastic test to judge Bhagat Ravida's endurance towards the worldly love. But some accounts associate this to the devious manipulation of the Brahmin priests to discredit Ravidas, which, rather, ended in the triumph of the Bhagat.

Ravidas's selfless devotion and casteless love for humanity spread far and wide. Maharani Jhally of Chitaur was a noble woman of benevolence and piety. Her ardency brought her to Benares on a pilgrimage. In spite of the disapproval of the Brahmin priests, she straight-away went to the Temple of Bhagat Ravidas. Ravidas was in h:s ecclesiastic benediction at the time, and was reciting his hymns (Rag Sorath P.658-59). Maharani was captivated. Eventually she became his disciple and abandoned all her luxurious set up. Her husband, the Maharana, had been instigated against her adopting a cobble as her Guru. He was full of rage when she returned. H~ was pacified by listening to some of the hymns of Bhagat Ravidas but still wanted to put the Bhagat through a test to invalidate the allegations of the Brahmins. The Bhagat was invited to Chitaur and and requested to participate in an oblation. The Brahmin priests refused to eat while a cobbler was seated in the same column of rows. Bhagat Ravidas voluntarily moved away. But, miraculously every person distributing food looked like Bhagat Ravidas to the Brahmins (Another account states when the Brahmins sat down to eat, they saw Ravidas seated between every two of them). They complained to Maharana. Maharana comprehended the hidden meaning of this marvel, and himself became an ardent devotee. Bhagat Ravidas remained in Chitaur for a long time. It is said that Mira Bai became his disciple as well during that period. As per some accounts he died at a ripe old age of nearly 120 years, in Benaras.

There are 41 verses of Bhagat Ravidas in the Sikh holy book, Guru Granth Sahib. Most of them are in very clear Hindi. His poetry is brimming with ardent love for God, Universe, Nature, GurU, and the Name. His sarcasm and pique shows his closeness with God.

Bhagat Ravidas neither ever laments nor complains to God on his low-caste lineage:

O people of the city, everyone knows

I am, a cobbler by trade and tanner by caste

One of the low-caste, and yet within my heart

I meditate upon God.

The only grievance he expresses to God is his mistreatment by the high-caste priests:

I am haunted day and night by the thought of my low birth, society and deeds. But all he want is:

O God! the Lord of the Universe! O Life of me! Forget me not. I am ever thy slave.

Through his simplicity, piety, and worship he seeks celestial amalgamation with God:

Thou art me, I am thou What is the difference.

The same as between gold and its bracelet, And between water and its ripple. And his hymn, Beghumpura, in the Rag Gauri is the most visionary, romantic and eternal:

Griefness' is the name of my town, Where abide not either pain or care:

No anguish there of tax on goods, Neither fear, nor error, nor dread, nor decline.

Oh! how wondrous is my fatherland, Where there is always peace, and CaIrn, 0 Friend!

And there is not a second nor a third there, by my only Lord.

Populous as ever, its repute is eternal, Yea, there abide only the Rich and Content, And there men go about as and where they wish.

They know the Mansion of their Lord, so no one preventeth (them).

ASTROLOGICAL FACTS OF HUMAN QUALITY.

Dear Friends, Have a look on our society and its constituents. It is astonishing that persons from high castes of society are indulging and committing sins, while peoples of lower castes are becoming sober and generous. why it is happening so, realize it carefully and geniously. God created Man/Woman only, the castes took place at later stages. Man is important first not the later. There are so many Colors, Castes in this World now a days. But do you realise that these colors/ castes are only man made as per their own minds and powers of his state. In actual, when one takes birth over this earth on a particular day, time and planetary position. Well from that time God bless him with the designation of his Varana, Like Brahmin, Kashtriya,Vaisya, Shudra. If a child takes birth out of his nation(India or others) has the same caste will be given to him/her as brahmin/khatriya/vaish or shudra as per laws of the nation where they takes birth? Justify it, Reply will be No. So think over it again and again? As per Jyotish the Varana/caste of a man is decided as per his Zodiac/constellation basis/position, which is accurate and actual as per Jyotish system of Lord Shiva. This is the original Caste of a Man decided on zodiac basis and you may study it on any four childs on this issue and can find out the reality of the planetary position/varana effect on these four different childs. Their behaviour/caliber will certainly be as per his Varana decided by Zodiac. In early ages like Satyauga there were no castes/subcastes, only these four varana's were prevailing in this world but due to mighty powers in the hands of the people/kings, they give form to these castes/subcaste in place of Varana system, which was in accurate option, because this caste system has been made on their own wish and powers they have at that time in their hands. In this world only four types of people are present in every age. but due to some very poor living standards of peoples they started to behave such peoples like untouchables/ downtroddens, though they were humanbeings alike them, but it is obvious that due to very bad/critical living standards, uncleanliness of these peoples, this practice of hate redoubled this inhuman face/attitude day by day in the society which created a distance in humanbeings and a very big part of the society was let recognised as untouchables and lastly these peoples had been converted in lower castes/subcastes by the rulers of that particular time/age. But as per Jyotish/Astrology system everyone is not brahmin in named brahmin castes. In a Brahmin family there may be other varna's people, decide them on actual Zodiac system basis. So in a Brahmin family every one is not a Brahmin. And in the same way in a Kshtriya family there every one is not a Kshatriya,and in a Vaisya Family every child is not of a Vaisya varna and in the same way in Shudra family everyone is not of a Shudra varana. So in this way Everyone has a different Varana. This type of formation of castes in society is a big surprise to all genius persons. Kindly realise over this truth world-wide. Present caste sytem is not O.K. All astrologers and good peoples shall be agree to this truth, but the people denominated as high caste will find it a little bitter to admit the truth and may run away from the facts/truth of human quality based on Astrology. What is the naked truth and distracted alignment of our society/world? realize it on zodiac system/constellation basis. Give it a wide considerations and realize the basic truth. The dignity of humanity is lowered due to present caste system, since every caste's people thinks themselves higher to others. So realise how many ranks of higherness are there in castes and the super rank/title of humanity is ignored/being ignored without proper consideration/consequences. Thanks.

World’s Sorrows and its Causes:

Dear Friends, Do realize why the world is abundant with sorrows? Has God created these sorrows for peoples or Peoples have created sorrows by their own acts in this stage of world? Some people feel themselves very much happy and tries to show such to the people of this world, are they realy happy from all corners of heart? Actually who feel so and tries to show the world they are not fully happy from all corners of their heart and can never remain constantly happy, since Good English saints has realized it and phrased that ‘No one is constantly Happy in the Mortal World’ it is 100% true. No one can deny it.

If one has realized over it, he finds that we are prone to sorrows due to our undisciplined life styles and leading manners. Today everybody is conscious about his rights but has forlorn his duties in this life. Due to this in discipline our society, nation & world has become an ocean of sorrows. See, son has forget his duties towards his parents, and social men have also forget their duties toward society and God. They are charging from the innocent disciples/peoples for their blessings, whom they claim that power gives them due to them? They are becoming crorepaties and arabpaties. While their so called fool disciples are admitting that their works are being done only because of their so called social men? Now, so many stalls/shops in God’s Name have been/ being opened every where and every there, has any body from these shops have saw the form of God till now, ask these so called saints please? They do not teach the disciples that we all humans are one and we should take care of each and all in the world. We have duties to pay toward God, Family, Society, State, Nation and the World. Do not be in disciplined at all and obey all your duties obediently. Do not be a selfish in this world. Only once we have come here and never will come to this world in this very form again realize it again and again. Do not store any thing more than requirement even money, land, property buildings etc. Be a less user of properties of this world it is highly commendable and a saints status.

See in the past, any saints in history has raised money/fund in the name of God anywhere in the world over. Have Guru Nanak Ji created a Gurudwara, Mohd. Prophet Ji has created any Masjid, Kabir Sahib has made any Mandir even Lord Christ had made any Church? These Respectable and Respected Souls have never raised any money from their disciples, why today all saints and organizations are trying to build buildings only why they do not pay heed for chanting the holy name of God with love. And spread love for mankind(insaaniyat) and infragrant their souls.

Today see the plight of common peoples. Has every one having 2-3 times meal regularly? Administators/Kings are also lacking in their duties by and large at many levels.

The temples/so called saints, which have so much abundant wealth, due to their storage of money and wealth the dearness is growing day by day, why the leaders are not passing the efficient laws to distribute this stored wealth/money among the peoples of Nation/World. The daughters/sisters of the land, state/nation are looking for gold ornaments for their marriages, but now it has become a nightmare for them due to high price costs why don’t such social people realize over it?

This world is the place of sorrows as Lord Mahatma Buddha has said. They have seen it with their golden eye. Which lacks people of this world. That is why he left his kingdom, beautiful wife and son and went in search of truth and ultimately found that. But today’s saints are doing reverse to it. See with your eye please. Friends in this blog there is song in which lord Shiva says to Mother Parvati Ji kis kis ke dukh door karoon, dunia dukhi phire Rani………Sukh Thode Dukh Ghane Jagat mein......

Thanks.

Disappearing Humanity, Truth, Holy Earning, Chastity, Fraternity from the World?

Dear Friends,

Namaskar. As a good human being it is becoming necessary to pay heed towards the Insaaniyat(Humanity) by one and all & sundry. See carefully toward the face of humanity since, it is becoming ugly as we are experiencing the bad acts of humans now a days at a faster pace and in high density all over the world. World is crying for humanity to survive but we are inching toward machinic advancements, technology only. There is no firm decisions/action/efforts to preserve the humanity the foremost need of all of us to have a living atmosphere over this planet. No proper punishments are being sentenced to the culprits the killer of human/humanity? There is no one Human Plateform to protect Humanity while we have many Human Right Acts/Commissions for this mission, We are proclaiming Human Rights First but Human Duties later. It is the duty of each and every human of this world to observe the duty of a Human. The duty to preserve Humanity should the at the top of the Charter of Humanity Commission. The Foremost duty is to regard Humanity, Preserve Humanity, Enhance & Prolong Humanity among all of us by the deep corners of our Hearts. It is the Prime need of Humans only then this human race can survive a long otherwise there will be no peace and harmony across the World if we do not pay attention to this. Peoples are running away from the basic truths, they are taking that for surviving a lie is must? It is becoming alarming to the world’s genius peoples. People of all levels are earning endless/limitless money for themselves and committing serious crimes/offences. There is no necessity felt towards the advises of our Forefathers/Gurus/Saint/Religious Persons/God/Shastras/Vedas in respect of Holy earnings. They have no conscious/realisation toward the face of money whether it is black or white? Peoples have no shame in earning & storing by bad ways and the consequences/affect of the bad money in their life and its affect over the society? There is not value of any Good Words of Holy persons/Saints. The luxurious attainments and luxurious standard and luxurious life is only achievement of this life now for them. No, Respect for Truth, Dharma, No value for chastity to preserve and protect by the peoples? Perhaps, It has not alarmed the Humanity? The respect of all these metals of the society is being ignored by all except a few one who are the firm lover of God and Humanity. Today, some/a few Females have spoiled the whole human culture to a animal culture? i.e. The live in relation ship crop up now a days, which has totally lowered the Indian Values of Marriage and the Respect of Parents/Family/Society has distorted the value of Chastity of Woman imminently for Indian perspectives. Our Girls should take a lesson from Mata Ansuya, Sita, Parvati, Gargi in our past woman glories. This will protect their Value in coming eras, realise it wisdomely? We people have went abroad to earn money but from there we have started taking up their cultures/ live ups and we have forget/forgo ours cultured life and values and become like a crow who adopts to be a peacock by inserting a wing of peacock. Realise our culture, its value, and then Adoption of foreign culture is no crime it betters the our real culture, It is good to adopt foreign culture to remove poverty, untouchability, raising good living standards but it is never recommended to take up the evils from foreigns like live-in relationship and other bad and inhuman evils? India is a sacred land of God from its creation? We have to keep it in mind. We should give up bad earnings, and to follow bad ways/people from anywhere. The value of chastity in Indian females scenarios should be realised and preserved by our respected mothers and sisters. My all brothers should realise the value of holy earning by weighing the life of our revered saints in the history who lived in huts but were respected by the kings. Because without preserving the real values of the life, it is not glorious at all. Living luxurious is not glory of life, a valued life is standard of living good glorious life, realise it, consciously. It is better to die hungry than to earn a Paap ki Kamai, because it will ruin your future and all if you kindly admit that the every karmas have to be accumulated. It is a humble Appeal to all Human beings to protect and preserve the Humanity, Truth, Honesty, Chastity, Holy Earning, Love and Affection, Fraternity among us all over the Planet to Make a The Best World and liveable World. To see God follow Truth, Dharma, Rightious Karmas, pay love with devotion to Humanity and God and its all good creations and enjoy the blissful life. Thank you please.

Significance of Life and Achievements – Formation of a Good World

Dear Friends, We all have come to this world for some purpose? But we have forget the purpose as told by our forefathers/gurus to us. Some good souls sent by God reminds the humanbeings that this life is a diamond do not lost it in meaningless /quarrells/achievements. We have a maximum life of 100-120 years to sustain/stay over this Planet. We have to go back to our previous state. Do not make a permanent schedule of living here? Atleast realise it carefully, that you have to return to the Cosmos where from you have landed to this planet. Man started life from caves now a days resides in Residencies/Palaces, but improving himself to such a state had Man got his sole achievement in this life as our forefathers had achieved. Do not waste your life/money/time in quarrels with each others. Do not waste the money in arms, weapons etc., serve it for each others betterment/needs, follow your good conscious/conscience. This type of your behave will mould a new World. Sell your all bad deed? For the betterment of humanity. Pledge all that you will not quarrels for the piece of land, borders, and will strive to explore to meet the human need of each others and share our state’s productions to the state/nation/worldwide to sustain this world for more ages. Today we have super techniques, we can have all data regarding our resources/sources to share our stores/knowledge. Collection of Money and Material is not paying at all if we do not persists on Peaceful living on this planet. Our revered English saints has said that Live and Let Live. This is the standard way and formula of living that is why they have emphasised over it. If you have techniques you serve it for the betterment of whole world, if you have the better knowledge share it for the benefits of all. Put your extra money, resources for the advancement of humanity all over the world.

My mean to say that if a country wants to win another country’s territory by deploying human life, weapon and other resources, if he has a good capacity to understand that so much money he have tried to stake in attack may offer such a good amount to the territory/people of that rival Nation as charity instead of an attacked win and so much loss of humans and money. he will win the all hearts and good favours for yuga yuga. Since from many ages many nations and countries have fought many wars but the conclusion was/is in only peaceful ways of solving the problems. Tell us that which war has concluded the issue for permanent in history. Our minds are warmth because of the Weapons and techniques we have advanced. The heat of mind is obstructing us to live and let live.

We should keep the history in mind. Our history says that learn from Kalinga War (The Ruler Ashoka) who had won this earth but lastly he had come to this knowledge that there is no worth in war. The real win is in human services, love and care for each others. Who persists for peace and peaceful solutions of matters of contention? They are really of high calibre and intellect.

Realise it that after losing huge man power/ money power in wars can the humanity rise? Has nucleariser rised further after using such nukes? in our past wars, or they have got full patient. We have to forgo the quarrelling attitude and inculcate the good sense of living and sharing our belonging for the benefits of each others in this humanity. Are we have not got this sense or we have got only knowledge/techniques? A Good Sense is Better than any Techniques. Attacking on others is not a bravery, A Real Brave is who Do not put anyone into Danger. Thanks.

The Real/Royal Teachings by Saints

Dear Friends, A real Saint is he, who actually guides this world’s all peoples to a good path means ‘Sanmarg’ and follows himself the same path of dignity. Sanmarg means the righteous Karmas to do and follows with jeal and jest with thorough holy spirit. The Karmas which pure the impure soul of ours that makes us to realize that what is Sanmarg and what are its benefits to all of us. In other words Saints are the real guides of God’s Kingdom, since they have traveled that path with their silver light speed of mind and soul. Actually they know the path and door of God’s Kingdom very well by the grace of Almighty God.

For a while assume, one visits a historic place, he views it, read the constructions there, but he can not enjoy to the extent of his visit properly and cannot have the full knowledge of the place without a skilled guide’s descriptions. In the same manner one soul travels to this earth/planet he views every thing but he cannot really enjoy his status until he sees a good skilled guide of the World and God’s Kingdom. And Friends, no one is so skilled as of a Great Master (The Samarath Satguru). The Capable Satguru (The Good Master) is only capable soul who can guide and lead us to travel towards God and his Kingdom and holy spirit, which is our ultimate destination to achieve over, while living over on this planet. If we get success in perceiving this knowledge and Holy Spirit, we can be eligible to see the doors of God’s Kingdom/Holy CharanKamals of God by the grace of a Samarath Satguru.

So, please try to follow a Good Master in your life and fill it with happiness’s/glories, in each sigh of your life, otherwise there are so many pains in this life without a Good Master and Righteous Karmas, that you can not imagine. No one can achieve his life’s full goals without the proper guidance/grace of Samarath Satguru. The Master who gives you the holy WORD and its values. This magical/powerful WORD has created this whole WORLD. By chanting of this holy NAAM/WORD you can win every favour of fortune and God/Satguru. In the Holy Ramayana, it is mentioned by the saints that the greatness/importance of this WORD/NAAM is so high and it is written that ‘Kaha lag Karoon Naam Badai, Ram na sake Ram Naam Gun Gai’. Follow Good Samrath Satgurus. Do not follow the greedy peoples at all who are in the guise of Saints, looting this world, avoid them. The Holy Bhakti Needs only holy Shradhabhava, Love and Devotion to God and deep respect to your Satguru. No Donation is required for this purpose at all. For the Bhakti shradha is only needed, for upliftment of Humanity Donation (10^th share of your earning as told by Vedas/Shastras) is merely required if one is capable to donate, otherwise it is never stressed to make any donation - by any Satguru from his disciples. In the Past None of the saints has given us any trust for fund in any history sheet. If one has donated it is the duty of the taker to serve/distribute it for the sake of humanity and society causes immediately without any delay and it should not be stored at all like in trusts/funds/Accounts. Because this Money is the root cause of pains & sorrows, it makes lure/greed to its looker instantly. So, follow your good conscious correctly. Love God with deep Devotion, Respect highly to your Satguru. Love and care for All Human beings and Creatures/Creations of God. This way you will live happily in your whole life and you will be able to bear all pains laughingly. No Doubt…………Thanks please.
