A month back, the Baru Sahib Jatha and Baba Iqbal Singh Ji did keertan and the Tucker Gurdwara. It was amazing and the Jatha even did Dhaadhi vaar, I did the recordings off my iphone, so it took me a while to transfer the files off my phone, but i finally was able to do it. Below is Baba Ji’s katha on Haumani and attachment, its mainly in punjabi but there is some english and you can still understand it :)

April 28th, 2008Amazing Asa Di Vaar



I came across this amazing Asa Di Vaar sung by the Akal Academy Bibi Jatha =) simply amazing. its all in classical raag with classical stringed instruments. i remembered about 2 years back the bhen jis were directed to learn tanti saag, its so amazing to feel their josh and shakti in their keertan, i advise you not to play this if you are trying to sleep after sadhana, because the naad will keep you up =)… also at the end they sing the shabad Jagat Jalanda Rakh Layee,


it was really amazing, so i chopped that and made it another downloadable file. I also chopped up their anand sahib out of the Asa Di Vaar and made that in to a mp3 as well.

Now ok so here’s a funny thing, I was talking to a bhen ji about how within Punjabi culture women aren’t allowed to embrace their divinity. That the majority Punjabi males are threatened by it and encourage their wives and daughters to just get stuck with in the world, rather than to wear bana or be blessed with taking Amrith.

Now here is a strange thing which is happening with in the Panth these days, a lot of the kids/Youth have a strong pull to Guru JI , which is the exact opposite of the parents. The Kids have more gyaan and pyaar for Sikhi and for Guru Ji maharaj. Youth actually want to Chuk amrit and wear Bana. I’m talking about families in which the parents, are so in to Punjabi culture, such as partying with the other uncles and aunties, lots of alcohol, and a lot of meat =) . Eventually down the road they’ll embrace Sikhi… or so they tell their kids and their nagging soul/consciousness…

Now that’s the thing when the parents find out their children are more in to sikhi than they are, they are puzzled and they think “hai Hai kee hoyea? Ehni Bastee de Ghal hoye gha Jadho Mayra Puthra/Bheti Sikhi vich jagea , May Guru Ji dhey paas nahi hai? Ay Casa hoeya? Patha Nahe?” so in English they think “Oh God? How did this happen? Now my Honour is at stake? How did my Son/Daughter get in to sikhi? I’m not in to sikhi that much or hardly how did this happen I just don’t get it?

So you a woman’s psyche is 16x stronger than a males, in every single facet a woman is stronger, more intutative, more agile, more graceful, more smarter, she is just the embodiment of SHakti of God’s creativity , there is no Doubt to that!..

Ok so now here is the thing, IN a lot of punjabi households, not all , there are exceptions… but majority of cases when a punjabi female is married to a Punjabi male, and she has the strong desire to embrace her divinity, and she asks her husband that she wants to get in to sikhi, but the Punjabi male declines it. Or she has a lot of karma with her husband and get in fights and such. So then she turns to Guru JI Maharaj and starts reading a lot of bani, tons of Jap JI and Sukhmani Sahib, the veeraag comes with in her and she wants to embrace sikhi, but she knows she can’t.

So where does that Pyaar and Prem for Rabh go? That strong devotion to the Lord go? Simple it just gets to gets engraved in to her psyche and aura, also it just stay in her center of creativity, her womb…. Thus it just stays there.. so now when the Fetus is maturing with in her womb … there are Souls, very divine souls which are coming from Sach Khand, who are sent be by the Earth’s pleas for saving Humanity and this world.. like this benti which Guru Amar Daas states in Gurbani….

Shabd



So after 120 days the soul enters the fetus, not just any soul but a soul of a shaheed, a soul of a sant, a soul of a sihpahi, a soul of rabh’s pyaara, just a bhagat of God….. a soul of consciousness…

OK so now looking at the panth, why are the kids in to sikhi and the parent’s aren’t. well 23 years ago Harminder Sahib was attacked, so when Darbar Sahib and the panth were under attack, Oh the mothers woke up and Brothers and Sisters and Husband woke up from the slumber and started praying for the safety of the Akal Takath.

Now you say oh what bout the older ones, that simple lol in 78 there was the nirankaari massacre, also umm ever since partition , umm Sikhs have taken interest with in sikhi =)

Hope I did not offend anyone, and I hope it made sense and something to think about
Bul chuk maafi

my soul has revolved around the Sun 24times…
with in this sack of dirtyou blessed me with
to make me realize you through my divinity
it took a little bit longer than usual,
also how many lifetimes have i been sent out
out in to this world to find you again?
but you already knew that didn’t you
i guess thats why i love you the most
retro -spectively & (some what) -actively just seeing where my karmas have taken me
we just wanted to see how i’d be able to figure out it out…
firstly when i wasn’t sure about the Dharma,,
you made it a big Drama haha
;oh waheguru….
you certainly blessed me with many Dukh Bukh Sadh maarsi know i’m quite your lazy undisciplined child

there quite a number of things i may have lacked
but for what i gained in return, i still don’t deserve it…
I still can’t even begin to comprehend the mad amounts of Daya
you’ve had with me….
and i dont even know where to understand the the nectar of immortality you blessed me with,
which is flowing through my veins… dhan dhan Kalgidhar Patshaah
Speak about DharmOh my Great Father,
may i always be able to live up to what you want me to,
Daddy how can i even begin to fill your shoes?
i can’t even begin to see how or why you’d want to have a son like me?
when everyone else would look at me as the “cut kid”
who was half hindu
being excluded from sikh camps
and the other keshdhaari kids

Daddy, how come you never gave up on me?
when aunties and uncles would ask about where my daddy was
, i’d say i wasnt sure
i’d always knew something was weird and different about me,
then later i realized that i was labeled
as a bastard child
yet still Daddy, Kalgidhar vale,
you still didn’t give up on me,
i was so in the dirtyet you blesssed me with to be a member of your lineage
then i remember about my Great Great Great Grandfather,
when born, he was an orphan,

but Waheguru had mehr on him, and made him sit on the THrone of Raj Yog,
oh oh Guru Ram Daas ji =)..


Daddy ji, i hope i’ll be able to keep up
and live up to your vision of what i’m supposed to be….
and Daddy thank you for always being there for me
even during those amrit velas
when i was buried under my blanket ,
and the times when
i wouldn’t take a cold shower
thanks always be there waiting for me with Open arms
and just taking me in
when i had become a burden to the rest of the world,
and no one understood me
Thanks for understanding me and always being there,
just a simple ardaas away =)

thank you again for sacrificing 35 members of your family,
just so that i could practice it….
thank you daddy for everything,
even though when i still get caught in the maya of everything and forget you
, you still wake me and make me realize….


Daddy, i just have one simple benti….
when can you wake up my fellow brothers and sisters?
and bless them to be a part of our family?


Daddy ji i know this isn’t that smooth of an ode to you,
but its all i really have in me right now,
i know i’m not that good as Bhai Naand Lal,
but thank you for everything
Daddy Ji,thank you for picking me up outta the dirt
and pulling me out of the dirt
everytime i fall down
and thank you for making me keep on respecting and loving Shakti>..
also by the way Daddy you were so right,
this whole world is a Tamsha…. and thanks for renarrating Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji for us,

and also Daddy Ji i really want to apologize for my everyone critizing you and saying your bani isn’t good.
i’m also sorry that all my brothers and sisters view you as a burdern
i’m sorry that we take you for granted,

Sorry


Daddy Ji thank you for everything
and thank you for being patient
and also thank you for blessing me with everything,
now may i be able to serve all,
just as you did….
oh Daddy you are so amazing and

oh yea guys this is my Dad!!
he so totally awesome and no words can describe him…

Guru Gobind Singh Ji
