'Sardarji Barah Baj gaye' (Sir it's 12 o'clock!)

It is easy to joke on a Sardar, but it is too difficult to be a Sardar.

I was standing at Jalandhar station when my attention went towards a Sikh youth standing near me wearing a Black turban having a long beard and wearing a kirpan over his shirt. 

After a while, one local train arrived, which was totally packed. The Sikh youth tried to alight the train but failed to do so. Just then a voice was heard from the back coach 'Sardarji Barah Baj gaye' (Sir it's 12 o'clock!) 

The Sikh youth looked over at that voice maker who was a young Mischievous type of person and instead of showing any anger made a smile towards him. 

The smile made was so enigmatic that it seemed as if some type of truth lies behind it. Not able to resist my temptation, I walked towards him and asked why did he smile at that person who teased him. 

The Sikh youth replied, 'He was not teasing me but was asking for my Help'. I was surprised with these words and he told me that there was a big history behind that which one should know. I was eager to know the History and the Sikh youth narrated: 

During 17th Century, when Hindustan was ruled by Mughals, all the Hindu people were humiliated and were treated like animals. Mughals treated the Hindu women as there own property and were forcing all Hindus to accept Islam and even used to kill the people if they were refusing to accept.That time, our ninth Guru, Sri Guru Teg Bahadarji came forward, in response to a request of some Kashmir Pandits to fight against all these cruel activities. 

Guruji told the Mughal emperor that if he could succeed in converting him to Islam, all the Hindus would accept the same. But, if he failed, he should stop all those activities. The Mughal emperor happily agreed to that but even after lots of torture to Guruji and his fellow members he failed to convert him to Islam and Guruji along with his other four fellow members, were tortured and sacrificed their lives in Chandni Chowk. Since the Mughals were unable to convert them to Islam they were assassinated. 

Thus Guruji sacrificed his life for the protection of Hindu religion.

Can anybody lay down his life and that too for the protection of another religion? 
This is the reason he is still remembered as "Hind Ki Chaddar", shield of India. For the sake of whom he had sacrificed his life, none of them came forward to lift his body, fearing that they would also be assassinated. 

Seeing this incident our 10th Guruji, Sri Guru Gobind Singhji (Son of Guru Teg Bahadarji) founder of khalsa made a resolution that he would convert his followers to such human beings who would not be able to hide themselves and could be easily located in thousands. At the start, the Sikhs were very few in numbers as they were fighting against the Mughal emperors. At that time, Nadir Shah raided Delhi in the year 1739 and looted Hindustan and was carrying lot of Hindustan treasures and nearly 2200 Hindu women along with him. The news spread like a fire and was heard by Sardar Jassa Singh who was the Commander of the Sikh army at that time. He decided to attack Nadir Shah's Kafila on the same midnight. He did so and rescued all the Hindu women and they were safely sent to their homes. 

It didn't happen only once but thereafter whenever any Abdaalis or Iranis had attacked and looted Hindustan and were trying to carry the treasures and Hindu women along with them for selling them in Abdal markets, the Sikh army although fewer in numbers but were brave hearted and attacked them at midnight, 12 O'clock and rescued women. 

After that time when there occurred a similar incidence, people started to contact the Sikh army for their help and Sikhs used to attack the raider's at Midnight, 12 O'clock. Nowadays, these "smart people" and some Sikh enemies who are afraid of Sikhs, have spread these words that at 12 O'clock, the Sikhs go out of their senses. This historic fact was the reason which made me smile over that person as I thought that his Mother or Sister would be in trouble and wants my help and was reminding me by saying off 'Sardarji Barah Baj Gaye'.

Meri Yahi Kahani Hai....

Har raat suhani lagti thi,
ab har baat kahani lagti hai.
Jo kabhi hamare lagte the,
ab koi kahani lagti hai.
Jin raahon pe sang chalte the,
ab kyu anjani lagti hain.

Un chhotti chhotti baaton me,
un jhoothe kasme vaadon me,
Teri khuddari si yaari me,
us jhoothi rishtedari me,
jane kyu sachhai si lagti hai..

Tu tab bhi koi kahani tha,

Tu ab bhi koi kahani hai...

Tere sang rehte rehte kyu tere sang rehna chaha tha,
apna har sukh dukh na jane kyu bas tujhe batana chaha tha.
Na samjha tune kabhi mujhe 
na tune kabhi mujhe pehchhana tha.

Tera tab bhi yahi fasana tha 

tera ab bhi yahi fasana hai..

Kaise bhoolega un raaton ko jo sang me humne kaati thi,

Vo masti aur vo shararatein jo mil ke dhoom machate the,
Un chhoti chhoti baaton me hum jhat se jo lad jate the,
Fir baith ke sang me kabhi kahin vo kisse fir suljhate the..

Tune tab bhi mujhe rulaya tha,

Tu ab bhi mujhe rulata hai.
tera tab bhi yahi bahana tha
tera ab bhi yahi bahana hai...



Tujhe milne ko  na jane kyu man mera machlata hai,
Jaane kyu chhup chhup ke ankhiyon se laar bahata hai.
 Dekhte  hi tujhko jane kyu ye dil mera bhar jata hai,
Bas tere paas jane ke ye bahane mujhe batata hai..

Kaise samjhaun is pagal dil ko ki tu ab mera yaar nahi,
Mere sang teri yaadein hain,
Par yaadon me tera sath nahi..

Tu tab bhi mujhe satata tha,
Tu ab bhi mujhe satata hai,

Tujhe tab bhi apna mana tha,
Tujhe ab bhi apna mana hai,

Meri tab bhi yahi kahanai thi,


Aur meri ab bhi yahi kahani hai….

Inspirational Stories..

STORY 1.

HOW FAR YOU BELIEVE GOD?

A man was climbing up a mountain as a practitioner.

The night fell heavy in the heights of the mountains and the man could not see anything. All was black.

Zero visibility, and the moon and the stars were covered by the clouds. As he was climbing only a few feet away from the top of the mountain, he slipped and fell in to the air, falling at great speed.

He could only see black spots as he went down, and the terrible sensation of being sucked by gravity.

He kept falling and in the moments of great fear, it came to his mind all the good and bad episodes of his life.

He was thinking now about how close death was getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very hard. His body was hanging in the air.

Only the rope was holding him and in that moment of stillness he had no other choice other to scream:

"Help me God".

All of a sudden a deep voice coming from the sky answered, "What do you want me to do?"

"Save me God".

"Do you really think I can save you?"

"Of course I believe You can."

"Then cut the rope tied to your waist."

There was a moment of silence and the man decided to hold on to the rope with all his strength. The rescue team tells that the next day a climber was found dead and frozen. His body hanging from a rope. His hands holding tight to it.

MOST IMPORTANT: He was hanging Only one foot away from the ground. If he had really believed the words of God, he would have fallen on the ground that is just one foot below and would have escaped.

CONCLUSION: What about all of us?
How attached we are to our rope of material desires? If we let go our material desires & wholeheartedly believe God, then we can be saved from this material miseries.
