When The Model of a Priest, The Ocean of Kindness, The Lord of Peace, Wearing White Traditional Clothings with Rosary around His neck, is seen with His Winning Smile on His Face, His Sikh is in the state of joy that cannot be explained. All the sorrows and griefs, no matter how serious, are washed away as if they never existed. When He Speaks, it feels like all the flowers in the World are blooming at once. This is, The Millions' Lord, His Holiness Sri Satguru Jagjit Singhji Maharaj, Supreme Spiritual Head of Sikhs.
The Revered Master who by His own example Promotes a World that is free from terrorism and discrimination of any kind.
The Lord Who has a Vision of a Society that is Free of alcohol, drug and crime.
The Great Teacher
Propagating Love for all species on earth, Who Highly Values Vegetarianism and
Respect for all Faiths; and intensely Works for preservation of the Cultural
Heritage of Bharat. To the extent that the government of India has honoured Guru
Sahib with The Great Title of 'Gopal-Rattan'.
His Holiness took Avatar at Sri Bhaini Sahib on 8 Maghar 1977 Bikarmi to Sri
Satguru Partap Singh Ji Maharaj and Mata Bhupinder Kaur Ji.
When Guruji was of very young age, He was once asked by a Sadh what His Name was, to which His Holiness Replied:
Thus, before Ascending The Gurgaddi, His Holiness was also popularly known as
'Bay-Unt Ji' - The Limitless One.
And indeed, His Holiness is Limitless, His blessings are beyond comprehensions and are truly beyond what could be written in a book, published on a website or spoken in words, as written by the Fourth Master in The Holy Aad Granth:
One cannot fully describe His Teachings, nor His Form, nor His Presence. Though it is said that 'A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words', it is doubtful that the inventor of the phrase has ever taken a picture of an Akal Purakh Satguru. A picture, on a piece of paper, or the one shown above, is not Guru's Darshan, whose ONE Sight is worth more than anything else:
(Aad Granth Sahib Page - 44)
Since Satguruji Ascended The Holy Gurgaddi, His Holiness has been preaching
and practicing The
Spiritual upliftment and enlightenment through Naam Simran via Meditation on the
Holy Naam given by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It is Satguruji's Order to Recite
Naam with every breath a person takes. Many times would His Sikh Hear His
Holiness Stating Verses from The Holy Aad Granth to stress the importance of
Naam Simran, such as:
Satguruji has also Given Hukam that
when a child is borned, the parents should take the responsibility of doing Naam
Simran for 1 hour daily until the child is old enough to do Naam Simran on
his own.
Reviving the Traditions of Indian classical music is one of the major
teachings of Satguruji. It is one of His Orders that all Sikhs should be able
to perform Shabad Kirtan because Kirtan, according to His Holiness's
Teachings and as recorded in Aad Granth Sahib, is Priceless:
With Satguruji's Divine Blessings, The Namdhari
Diwan and Kirtan is litterally unmatched for the level of musical skills as well
as divinity. Namdhari Jathedars as well as Gianis today are well known for their
immense and most importantly accurate knowledge of GurMat Sangeet as well as
Sikh History for which the Credit goes to none other than His Holiness Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji who Himself is An Unmatched Expert in this Field.
Satguruji has Issued Strict orders against the consumption of addictive drugs as
well as alcoholic beverages that transforms a man into a beast. His Holiness has
Blessed countless beings towards Salvation and away from the impurities of
addictive drugs. Numerous sports events have been Sponsored by Satguruji to
promote physical well-being of a person. With Satguruji's Blessings, The
Namdhari Hockey Team is one of The Finest hockey team to have ever played the
game.
Promotion of vegetarianism world-wide is another Kirpa(Blessing) of Satguruji. Satguruji Himself has participated countless times
in vegetarianism conferences and meetings world-wide. Following His
Teachings, countless people have been put on the right track and refrained from
consumption of non-vegetarian diets.
War, terrorism and crimes are strictly forbidden by Satguruji who is popularly
known world-wide as 'The Warrior of Peace'. It is Satguruji's Teaching for a person to protect and respect
the belongings of others and not to take pride of what belongs to himself - In
other words, everything belongs to The Akal Purakh Satguru and since nothing
would last forever, no
one should take pride in materialistic objects(which one cannot take away with
him after death) that comes under temporary
ownership of a human being.
Satguruji's Love and Care is not limited to only human beings but extends to the
animal kingdom. With the weapon of vegetarianism as well as The Message of
Aad(Previous) Gurus and Dasam(Tenth) Guru recorded in The Holy Aad Granth and
Dasam Granth as well as The Teachings of Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji and His Own Ingenious Ideals, Satguruji preaches as
well as practices kindness towards all kinds of animals from tiny insects to
large mammals. For they too are souls residing in bodies. Thus, their right
for living should as well be respected. Very
straight forward Hukams are also recorded in Aad Granth Sahib:
Serving the old and infirm is an important part of Satguruji's Teachings.
Satguruji Instructs His Sikhs to Serve. Without any concern about the needy's
caste, social status or wealth. No matter what cult or religion the needy
belongs to, if he is in need, a Sikh should always help out as much as he can. Satguruji
has donated litterally millions of Rupees for the construction/maintenance
of hospitals as well as homes for the senior citizens. Satguruji Himself would
many times visit the poor and homeless providing them with food and shelter as
well as His Darshan - The Sight Worth Living For.
Respect for all religions, their philosophies and beliefs is yet another
Teaching of Satguruji. Satguruji has always been An Excellent Model of A
Peaceful Ocean and Instructs His Sikhs to become ones who possess tolerance
towards all other religions. This is perhaps one of the reasons why many cults
and sects of Sikhism are allowed to exist today.
The Faith in Aad and Dasam Granth Sahib has been reinforced times
and times again by Sri Satguruji. It is Satguruji's Hukam for every Sikh to wake
up at Amrit Vela(Before Sunrise) and Meditate on the Holy Naam as well as Read
from the Holy Granth Sahibs. In a Namdhari household, Aad or Dasam Granth Sahibs
must be read from cover to cover atleast once a month, as per Satguruji's Divine
Hukam. However, Satguruji's teachings do not stop only
at Reading of Granth Sahibs but also Following Their directions: To Meet The
Guru of The Time Who would Give His Sikh Gurmantar that Must be Meditated Upon.
Satguruji has always been encouraging movements for empowerment of women and respect for the girl
as well as world
wide campaign against foeticide. Like Satguru Nanak Dev Ji and Satguru Ram Singh
Ji, Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji also Gives Out strict Hukams against misstreatment
of women. As Recorded in Aad Granth Sahib:
Beating, Selling as well as other
misstreatment or discrimination towards a girl is forbidden by Satguruji, For it
is Satguruji's Teachings to treat everyone, especially a woman, with
respect. A women who is either a mother or a sister of someone else's should be
treated as a Sikh's own mother or sister.
Satguruji has Blessed countless of His Sikhs with the True Khalsa Anand
Karaj(Marriage Ceremony). It is against Satguruji's Holy Teachings to include
any kind of dowry or senseless celebration to The Anand Maryada Taught by Sri
Satguru Ram Singh Ji. Satguruji also Stresses the fact that the Sikh whose Anand
Karaj would be performed should be a Khalsa and possess the 5 Kakars (Kes-Hair,
Kanga-Comb,Kirpan-Sword,Kachera-Traditional Underpants,Kara-Silver Bangle) or else the Anand Karaj
would not be performed.
The existence of Simple White Kurta-Pajama or 'The Khalsa's Bana(Uniform)' today, so long after Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji departed from India, is yet another Great Blessing of Satguruji. The white uniform does not only symbolize purity as the color suggest, but also the 'equality' that people around the globe are striving to accomplish. When all men wear the same uniform, the unequality is automatically destroyed from their minds as far as the social status is concerned.
The above mentioned Teachings of Sri Satguruji add up to just a tiny fraction of His Divine Message for men of all walks of life. It is infact impossible to describe all His Teachings on a website, yet it is also impossible to stop singing His Holy Deeds and Blessings that He has showered upon His Sikhs. This is perhaps why His Sikhs have written over a dozen Books about His Holiness, Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji Maharaj - The Supreme Spiritual Leader of The Khalsa.
