A Great Experience..
12/3/2013: The event for Seva of vulnerable and elderly Sangat was coming to the end of day at Gurdwara Singh Sabha Bradford. The Granthi singh had just finished doing katha and simran of the 11th asthpadee of sukhmani sahib, when a very upset young lady walked in. She said fateh to everyone with great humility and love. She looked very upset. The granthi singh asked, "is everything ok". She weeped slightly and said, "no my husband was suffering from bakhaar (temperature), he collapsed and got rushed in to intensive care, as he is quite serious. Can we do an ardaas she repeated in a very upset voice". The granthi singh said "dont worry bhenji you have great good fortune, as you have come to guru sahibs hazooree whilst Sangat is going on, he said I can not do anything myself the Sangat will bless you". He started the simran, there was around 13 older bibiaa in the Sangat and a couple of young singhs. The simran only lasted 5 mins but the ras (power/taste) in those 5 mins was immense. The bibi was crying whilst chanting Vaheguru. Everyone felt her pain and chanted in great vigour.
The simran stopped, the granthi singh did an ardaas. In the ardaas the granthi singh said, "guru sahib ji I have no power, "I am weak but u have blessed your daughter in Sangat today and she is begging for you to listen to her prayer, birthee kadey na hoveaee jan Ki ardaas. Your servants ardaas has never failed. Nanak jor govind ka pooran gunthaas. Nanak takes the strength of the perfect lord of the universe, the treasure of excellence. Please bless bhenji with strength, please bless bhenji with gursikhi jeevan. Only you know her mind's desires guru sahib, please fulfil them". The granthi singh explained to guru sahib what was wrong with bhenjis husband and ended the ardaas. Bhenji in great humility thanked the Sangat, for chanting Vaheguru in Sangat and standing in the ardaas. She had tears running down her face and the Sangat really felt her emotions. Bhenjis love for the Sangat was visible through her eyes. The granthi singh said, "don't worry bhenji Guru ji and the Sangat will look after your husband, you came at the perfect time". Bhenji still crying tried to smile and slowly walked to her car. She asked the granthi singh to pls come to the hospital and see him. He agreed. Daas received a call around 14.30 from the granthi singh saying, "we got to the hospital and with Guru sahib and his sangat's apaar (amazing) kirpa the husband was absolutely fine before we got there". Saadsangat ji I was really touched by the love and power of guru sahibs Sangat and had to share this story. Proud to be a slave of my Guru. Guru sahib loves us and is always here for us, his love is unconditional. We only remember him when we need him. Let's all remember him always ji, without any condition. Dhan Teri Sikhee Guru Ji. Bhul Chuk Maaf Karni Ji. Balvinder Singh - www.singhsabhabradford.com |
