Sabad Hajare Patisahi 10 - Sabad 04: Divine Protector | The Sikh Cast | SikhRI
Tuesday Jan 31, 2023
Tuesday Jan 31, 2023
Introducing Sabad Hajare Patshahi 10, new translations and commentaries of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's composition. Harinder Singh (Innovation Director) and Jasleen Kaur (Research Associate) discuss their learnings and challenges while engaging with the words of this composition. The unique contexts and subversions these compositions reveal are a treat for those who yearn to get to know Guru Gobind Singh Sahib and those who yearn to celebrate Guru Gobind Singh Sahib.
In the fourth composition of the “Sabad Hajare Patisahi 10” (popularly Shabad Hazare Patshahi 10) series, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib proclaims to the world that he seeks the protection from only the 1-Divine; his honor and dignity are with the 1. Guru Sahib equates 1-Divine with all deities; 1 has all their attributes and more, as texts and people identify with.
In this fifth podcast, Harinder Singh and Jasleen Kaur explore Guru Gobind Singh Sahib’s many invocations of divine names and attributes and their contexts in larger Indic systems. They then discuss Guru Gobind Singh Sahib’s reframing of these names within the larger understanding of IkOankar as the Ocean of compassion, the One who protects our honor.

Sabad
ਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੀ ੧੦
ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ਪਰਮ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਪਗਿ ਲਾਗੋ॥
ਸੋਵਤਿ ਕਹਾਂ ਮੋਹ ਨਿੰਦ੍ਰਾ ਮੈ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਸੁਚਿਤ ਹ੍ਵੈ ਜਾਗੋ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ॥
ਔਰਨ ਕਹਾਂ ਉਪਦੇਸਤ ਹੈ ਪਸੁ ਤੋਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਬੋਧੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੋ॥
ਸਿੰਚਿਤ ਕਹਾਂ ਪਰੇ ਬਿਖ੍ਯਨਿ ਕਹ ਕਬਹੁ ਬਿਖੈ ਰਸ ਤ੍ਯਾਗੋ॥੧॥
ਕੇਵਲ ਕਰਮ ਭਰਮ ਸੇ ਚੀਨਹੁ ਧਰਮ ਕਰਮ ਅਨੁਰਾਗੋ॥
ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹਿ ਕਰੋ ਸਦਾ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਕੋ ਪਰਮ ਪਾਪ ਤਜਿ ਭਾਗੋ॥੨॥
ਜਾ ਤੇ ਦੂਖ ਪਾਪ ਨਹਿ ਭੇਟੈ ਕਾਲ ਜਾਲ ਤੇ ਤਾਗੋ॥
ਜੌ ਸੁਖ ਚਾਹੋ ਸਦਾ ਸਭਨ ਕੌ ਤੌ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਰਸਿ ਪਾਗੋ॥੩॥੩॥

Mentor Specified
Who is the best mentor?
Ramkali Sovereign 10
O being, attach to the feet of the Supreme Being.
Why are you asleep in attachment’s sleep? Awaken sometime to be attentive! Pause-reflect.
O animal-like, why do you preach to others? You are not attached to the teachings.
Why are you collecting the poisons? When will you renounce the flavor of poisons?
Realize performing only the deeds as an illusion; love the principled deeds.
Always collect the remembrance, run away from the great sin.
Such that you don’t submit to the pain and the sin, you must confront the death-web.
If you always want all kinds of comforts, then drench yourself in the flavor of Hari-1.

Introducing Sabad Hajare Patshahi 10, new translations and commentaries of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's composition. Harinder Singh (Innovation Director) and Jasleen Kaur (Research Associate) discuss their learnings and challenges while engaging with the words of this composition. The unique contexts and subversions these compositions reveal are a treat for those who yearn to get to know Guru Gobind Singh Sahib and those who yearn to celebrate Guru Gobind Singh Sahib.
In the second composition of the “Sabad Hajare Patisahi 10” (popularly Shabad Hazare Patshahi 10) series, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib emphasizes union with the 1. Guru Sahib disrupts fixation on yoga for union and offers developing the love for the 1 and feeling the identity of the 1.
In this third podcast, Harinder Singh and Jasleen Kaur explore what it means to earn union in comparison to transactional relationships with the divine. They also discuss what it means to sing as waves of love and deep knowledge arise from within, in comparison to the one-noted concentration of the yogis.
Sabad
ਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੀ ੧੦ਰੇ ਮਨ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਜੋਗੁ ਕਮਾਓ॥ਸਿੰਙੀ ਸਾਚੁ ਅਕਪਟ ਕੰਠੁਲਾ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਬਿਭੂਤਿ ਚੜ੍ਹਾਓ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ॥ਤਾਂਤੀ ਗਹੁ ਆਤਮ ਬਸਿ ਕਰਿ ਕੀ ਭਿੱਛਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਧਾਰੰ॥ਬਾਜੈ ਪਰਮ ਤਾਰ ਤਤੁ ਹਰਿ ਕੋ ਉਪਜੈ ਰਾਗੁ ਰਸਾਰੰ॥੧॥ਉਘਟੈ ਤਾਨ ਤਰੰਗ ਰੰਗਿ ਅਤਿ ਗਿਆਨਿ ਗੀਤਿ ਬੰਧਾਨੰ॥ਚਕਿ ਚਕਿ ਰਹੇ ਦੇਵ ਦਾਨਵ ਮੁਨਿ ਛਕਿ ਛਕਿ ਬ੍ਯੋਮ ਬਿਵਾਨੰ॥੨॥ ਆਤਮ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ਭੇਸੁ ਸੰਜਮ ਕੋ ਜਾਪੁ ਸੁ ਅਜਪਾ ਜਾਪੈ॥ਸਦਾ ਰਹੈ ਕੰਚਨ ਸੀ ਕਾਯਾ ਕਾਲੁ ਨ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਬ੍ਯਾਪੈ॥੩॥੨॥
Translation
Yoga Disrupted What kind of Yoga?
Ramkali Sovereign 10O mind! Earn the union by this method:Consider Truth as a horn, non-deception a necklace, and ascend ash of contemplation. Pause-reflect.Control inner-self as holding a one-string instrument, and Nam-Identification as a support to receiving alms.Experience the essence of Hari-1 as the sound of supreme strings; that's where melodious musical modes emerge.Wave of color-love arises from melodic improvisations and compositions of songs of deep knowledge. Gods, demons, and sages witness in amazement; those riding skies are in happiness.Control inner-self as the instruction; practice self-restraint as garb; and unrecitable recitation as the recitation.That’s how the body always remains golden; the fear of death doesn’t affect it.

Introducing Sabad Hajare Patshahi 10, new translations and commentaries of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's composition. Harinder Singh (Innovation Director) and Jasleen Kaur (Research Associate) discuss their learnings and challenges while engaging with the words of this composition. The unique contexts and subversions these compositions reveal are a treat for those who yearn to get to know Guru Gobind Singh Sahib and those who yearn to celebrate Guru Gobind Singh Sahib.
In the first composition of the “Sabad Hajare Patisahi 10” (popularly Shabad Hazare Patshahi 10) series, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib redefines everything yogic. Yoga is reframed as the original idea of union or the connection with the 1. Guru Sahib disrupts yogic rituals with practical things an everyday person can do, including those in the family.
In this second podcast, Harinder Singh and Jasleen Kaur explore the context of Indic paradigms, rituals, systems, and popular understandings that the Guru addresses in his reframing of renunciation and non-attachment. We also discuss translation decisions and challenges.
Sabadਰਾਮਕਲੀ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੀ ੧੦ਰੇ ਮਨ ਐਸੋ ਕਰਿ ਸੰਨਿਆਸਾ॥ਬਨ ਸੇ ਸਦਨ ਸਭੈ ਕਰਿ ਸਮਝਹੁ ਮਨ ਹੀ ਮਾਹਿ ਉਦਾਸਾ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ॥ਜਤ ਕੀ ਜਟਾ ਜੋਗ ਕੋ ਮੱਜਨੁ ਨੇਮ ਕੇ ਨਖੁਨ ਬਢਾਓ॥ਗਿਆਨੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਆਤਮ ਉਪਦੇਸਹੁ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਭੂਤਿ ਲਗਾਓ॥੧॥ਅਲਪ ਅਹਾਰੁ ਸੁਲਪ ਸੀ ਨਿੰਦ੍ਰਾ ਦਯਾ ਛਿਮਾ ਤਨ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ॥ਸੀਲ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਸਦਾ ਨਿਰਬਾਹਿਬੋ ਹ੍ਵੈਬੋ ਤ੍ਰਿਗੁਣ ਅਤੀਤਿ॥੨॥ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਹੰਕਾਰ ਲੋਭ ਹਠ ਮੋਹ ਨ ਮਨ ਸਿਉ ਲਯਾਵੈ॥ਤਬ ਹੀ ਆਤਮਤਤ ਕੋ ਦਰਸੈ ਪਰਮ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਕਹ ਪਾਵੈ॥੩॥੧॥
Working Translation Renunciation RedefinedWhat kind of renunciation?
Ramkali Sovereign 10Ramkali Sovereign 10O mind, adopt this kind of renunciation:Consider all houses as the forest; remain non-attached within the mind. Pause-reflect.Sexual restraint is matted hair, connection with the 1 is pilgrimage bathing; daily commitment is growingnails.Wisdom is the Guru; let it instruct the inner-self, apply the ash of Nam-Identification.Consume less, sleep even less; consider compassion and forgiveness as the love for the body.Always be gentle and content; transcend three prescribed Indic virtues.Do not bring lust, anger, pride, greed, stubbornness, and attachment into the mind.Only then can inner-self envision the essence and realize the Supreme Being.

Nam: Divine Identification | The Fragrance of Bhai Vir Singh
Friday Dec 30, 2022
Friday Dec 30, 2022
Join us as we delve into Bhai Vir Singh’s epic poem “Rana Surat Singh.” The poem unveils mystical love’s mysteries via 14,270 lines in thirty-five cantos. Mystical love is helical and circular in its workings. The poem artistically presents a passionate vision of a world beyond the divisions of time and space. It is a lustrous recollection written by the one who has gazed upon the mystical experience.
The poem begins with the hero’s death, Rana (King) Surat Singh, and its profound and shattering effect on his young widow, the Rani (Queen) Raj Kaur. At the onset of the poem, the poet makes us aware that the Rani’s love for the Rana was at a physical level. So immersed was the Rani in her love for the Rana that it blinded her to his illuminated and enlightened self. As much as the Rana wanted her to be a part of his spiritual journey, the Rani could not see him beyond his physical self.
As we become immersed in the poem, we witness the transformation of her physical yearnings into spiritual ones. We journey with her through the various stages of her inner development, from the Realm of Principle to the Realms of Knowledge, Effort, Grace, and Eternity—the final abode. Guided by a Guru-inspired being, the Rani is introduced to the “Love Path.”
In the fourth and final podcast, we discuss: What is Nam-Divine Identification? How is one to recite Nam? Does Nam aid in one’s journey towards becoming a Gurmukh, Guru-oriented?

Listen as we reflect on the enduring effects of Partition through a conversation with third-generation Partition descendants from India and Pakistan, who are also oral historians doing the work of memory. We delve into conversations around how their memory work both transcends and is contained by national borders and boundaries and how it challenges the divide between "this" and "that" side.
