Baba Deep Singh was a beloved child of Guru Gobind Singh, who's commitment was so strong, his word always came true. When the Hari Mandir Sahib was taken over by invaders he promised to fight until his head bowed at the threshold. In the battle field he fought fearlessly and sent many men to their Maker. Then he faught the general of the other army. Baba Deep's head was cut off in this fight........... then a miracle happened......
As God Conscious beings, we are in the world. We are like the lotus flower, with its roots in the mud and its flower floating on the water, untouched by the dirt. Whether we are a street sweeper or a brain surgeon, we can do everything with a consciousness of service.
We can achieve Jiwan-Mukht, liberation while yet alive. We don’t have to wait until an afterlife to achieve it. It exists for us right now.
Between man and God there are two paths: The path of fate and the path of destiny. Those who will give distance to their destiny shall fall into the path of fate.
A heartfelt poem from Harman Sadana with an English translation by Coco Singh.
But belief has never been a foundation stone and nor will it ever be, thus experience of life after death is the only way to create a certainty about it.
A noble King had all his subject do a fast in honor of Vishnu on the day of Ekadasi. There was one man who didn't do the fast though, he was a Sikh of Guru Nanak. "I am constantly fasting. I eat little food and sleep little. I fast from any and all temptation that distract my devotion to God," explained the man. The King was very impressed and wanted very much to meet this Guru. But how would he ever meet this famous saint known as 'Baba Nanak'?
Baba Atal was the son of Guru Hargobind. He was very wise for his age, he was adventurous and loved to play games and have fun. One of his play-mates, Mohan, was bitten by a cobra in the night. When Babal Atal came to play with his friend in the morning he learned that Mohan had died. All he wanted was to continue playing with his friend so he said, "Get up Mohan, let's go play." You will never guess what happened next.
After Guru Gobind Singh's time, during the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, there was a purely devoted fearless Khalsa named Akali Phula Singh. After taking a hukam from the Guru he wouldn't delay his battle plan to attack at dawn. He was the only one to charge in to battle against the Afghan army at first. He fought bravely without fear of death. He said, "The Khalsa of Guru Gobind Singh can do anything."
