Gadhi Shabads

by

The Yashwanti Niradhar is a compilation of sacred verses known as shabads written by Maharaz Darshan Das Jee. Maharaz Jee has given particular importance to the three Gadhi (spiritual altar) shabads that are to be recited in a particular order as part of Sachkhand Nanak Dham activities which include:

  • Gadhi sewa (preparation of the altar)
  • Kirtan (singing of shabads)
  • Satsang (a sermon from the Guru)
  • Jaap (group chanting)
  • Receiving parshad (offering of almonds and sugar crystals)
  • Arjoi
  • Nishaan Sahib sewa (service performed at the Sachkhand Nanak Dham Flag)

We will explain these practices and their significance in subsequent newsletters.

These shabads carry divine vibrations and very deep spiritual meanings. The ragas in which these shabads are to be sung have also been given to us by Maharaz  Jee. Below is the first of two shabads translated from Punjabi to English. 

Gadi Shabad 1: Tu Thakur Maat Pita Hamare (ਤੂਂ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਹਮਾਰੇ।)

ਤੂਂ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਹਮਾਰੇ।

Oh Lord, you are my mother and father

ਮਨ ਮੋ ਤੱਬ ਛੁੱਟ ਜਾਏ ਜਾਂ ਸਤਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰੇ।

The mind is freed of attachments, through the blessings of the Perfect Master

ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਨਾਮ ਕਮਾਵਾਂ ਸਤਗੁਰ ਆਪਣੇਂ ਬਲ ਬਲ ਜਾਵਾਂ।

I can only live when the Guru’s true knowledge manifests in me,
says Darshan, in his true love I dwell.

Your blessings and virtues are innumerable, in your meditation our joy is endless

ਤੂੰ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਪ੍ਰੱਬ ਬਕਸ਼ੰਦਾ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਨੀਚ ਜਨ ਤੇਰਾ ਬੰਦਾ।
Tu thakur prab bakshanda, Darshan neech tera banda
Oh Lord you are forgiving, Darshan the low one, is your being.

Gadhi Shabad 3: Nanak Bheyo Kirpal ਨਾਨਕ ਭਇਓ ਕਿਰਪਾਲ

ਨਾਨਕ ਭਇਓ। ਕਿਰਪਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਭਏ ਨਰ ਨਰਾਇਣ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਦਾਤਾਰ।
Nanak bheyo kirpal, parghat bhay, nar naryaan thakur dataar
When the lord becomes merciful, He appears in human form

ਦਿਉ ਨਦਰ ਸਿਰਜਨਹਾਰ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਸਿਰਧਰ ਦਸਤਾਰ।
Deyo nadar sarjan har swami, sir dhar dastaar
Oh beloved one, please appear before the world, with a turban upon your head

ਜੀਆ ਜੰਤ ਸਭ ਕੀਉ ਪੁਕਾਰ ਦਿਉ ਹਰ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਪਿਤ੍ਰਪਾਲਣ ਹਾਰ।
Jee Jant sabh kiyo pukar, deyo har Darshan prit paalan har
It is the plea of your creation, that you give us Darshan, our beloved nurturing Lord

ਹਮ ਨੀਚ ਕਿਛ ਜਾਨੌ ਨਾਂਹੀ ਤੁਮ ਭਿਓ ਖਸਮ ਹਮਾਰੇ।
Hum neech kich jano nahee, tum bheyo khasam hamare
We are downtrodden and ignorant, you are our all-knowing divine

ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਨੀਚ ਦਿਉ ਹਰ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾਜ ਸਵਾਰੇ।
Darshan neech deyo har Darshan, Satguru kaaj savaaray
Darshan is lowly; he humbly requests the Lord to give Darshan to his creation; the Satguru will take care of his sewak’s welfare

The Blessing of Maharani Pali Darshan Das Jee

By Das Sukhdev Singh (Nairobi, Kenya)

Nanak Naam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bhala

I am a retired officer from the Kenya army. In 1970 after a nasty incident with a swarm of bees during a military exercise, I resolved to trim my beard to make my military life a bit easier. I was the only Sikh in the whole of the Kenya army. In 1985 my family and I became devotees of Maharaz Darshan Das Jee. In 1986 my daughter and I had the golden opportunity to meet Maharaz Jee in Birmingham, (UK) and we were blessed with Naam. As time passed, on a routine basis we listened to Maharaz Jee’s spiritual discourses at the Darshan Darbaar in Kenya. Maharaz Jee explained that if a Sikh man wears a turban, then he should not cut his beard.

As per the instructions of Maharaz Jee, I always wore a Tilak (red mark) on my forehead and this used to surprise some of my friends. Seeing me with a Tilak, I was once challenged by one of the Sikh elders who said “hasn’t your Guru told you that if you are wearing a Kurta (long Indian tunic), then you also need to wear an Indian pyjama and not normal trousers?”. I thought about it and I said “No, my Guru has not told me that. I have my own uniform given to me by my Guru”.

In 1997 I retired from the military. One morning in 2002, as I sat in meditation, it dawned upon me that if somebody challenged me again, this time on my trimmed beard, I would have no answer. This would be an insult to my Guru. Maharaz Jee had clearly stated in his spiritual discourses, that if a Sikh man wears a turban, then he should also keep a long beard in its natural form. That morning I made a solemn promise to Maharaz Darshan Das Jee: I said “When I directly hear from you, I will keep a long beard”. A year went by and I was in India in February with Maharani Jee to attend Das Dharam Foundation Day. After the Foundation Day celebrations were over, we went to a devotee’s house for kirtan and satsang followed by a communal meal. During the meal, the hosts brought out a second round of gulab jamun’s (Indian sweets) in a large serving bowl. Devotees declined to have anymore. Then Maharani Jee said: “give the gulab jamuns to Brigadier Sukhdev because he is visiting from overseas”. She looked at me for confirmation.

After having finished eating the gulab jamuns I told Maharani Jee that I had eaten all of them. She said in surprise, “really?”. She gazed straight into my eyes and said “Putar (son) from today onwards do not touch (cut) your beard and go home”. That was her direct order. Everyone chanted Nanak Naam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat the Bhala.

I was totally stunned. The prayer that I said in my heart was heard by Maharaz Jee and the order came through Maharani Jee. They are truly one. I bowed my head to Maharani Jee and understood, that now was the time to keep a long beard. I felt honoured and humbled that my revered Guru had answered my prayer in such a profound and loving manner.

Gulab jamun’s are served to celebrate a joyous occasion. For me, this was indeed a joyous occasion, when again I realised that Maharaz Jee listens to all our prayers and answers them in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.

The Power of a Prayer at the Nishan Sahib

By Das Tejpal Singh (Melbourne, Australia)

When I was living in Kenya, there was a period when we were going through financial hardship and we were not able to pay the land rates and rents for our properties which had accrued penalties over a number of years. With every month that passed by the compound interest charged increased the penalty amounts exponentially.

Distressed about the situation, knowing it would be almost impossible to clear the penalties, I remembered something that Maharani Ji used to say. She had said that doing a prayer “Arjoi” at the Sachkhand Nanak Dham flag “Nishan Sahib” with a clean heart, would always be answered.

I did my prayer at the Nishan Sahib at Darshan Darbar, Nairobi. I surrendered this huge burden to my guru and asked for a resolution to what, at the time, seemed like an impossible problem.

Some weeks later as I was driving to work on Limuru Road in Nairobi, Kenya and saw a government banner stating that all penalties for rent and rate would be waived if the principal amount was paid up by the due date stated. I realised in that moment that my prayer had been answered.

Blessings from my Guru

By Das Neelkamal, (Melbourne Australia) 

I was born and brought up in Kenya, lived, studied and worked there my whole life. I was 35 weeks pregnant with our daughter Das Gauri, when my partner Das Tejpal Singh, our 6-year old son Das Rai Bahadur Navjyot Singh and I took Maharani Jee’s blessing and migrated to Australia permanently. Before migrating, I had a job with a well-recognised multinational in Nairobi. We had to pack up our lives in two weeks and move across continents because our visa was close to expiring.

After three and a half years when I had almost given up hope of ever finding a job in Melbourne I surrendered to Maharaz Darshan Das Jee. Miraculously I got an email invitation from SAP to attend a half day “show and tell session” at their St Kilda office in Melbourne. Coincidentally, I happened to have an interview in the morning of the same day at another organization literally a few blocks away. Living in the Eastern suburbs, going to the city was a little daunting. Nevertheless, I got there and as I walked onto the 15th floor of the SAP office I took a second to take in the incredible view and in that moment, I made a silent wish… “Wow, it would be nice to work here”. Little did I know that my Guru had heard my wish.  On that day I met a senior leader at SAP, she was also one of the presenters. After the presentation, I walked up to her and boldly asked her what it would take to get hired at SAP. She pulled me aside and before saying anything reached for her bag and got out her business card and handed it to me. Then she took a few moments, gave me her undivided attention and asked me what my background was, where I had worked and what experience I had and said “send me your CV”. Coincidentally I had a printed copy of my CV with me on the day and gave it her. I later found out that she went down to the 13th floor and personally placed my CV on the Human Resources desk.

I got called in for an interview; coincidentally the same senior leader happened to be the hiring manager. She interviewed me, embraced my culture and recognized my potential where no one in Melbourne had done so for three and a half years, and in two weeks I was hired!  My silent wish had been fulfilled just like that. 

How many times do we make silent wishes and lose track of what we have asked?  Maharaz Jee says in one of his satsangs, “God has a database and He keeps track of all the asks and fulfilments”. Maybe we should do the same so that we may also count the many blessings He gives us and learn to be grateful for all that we have. Were these all really coincidences?

Blessings of my Guru

Nanak Naam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bhala

I travelled to the United Kingdom with my father in 1986 to meet with Maharaz Jee. For me this indeed was a once in a lifetime opportunity. We both attained Naam from Maharaz Jee and spent a couple of weeks in the United Kingdom with Maharaz Jee. During our time with him, we attended a satsang that Maharaz delivered in in London. After the satsang, Maharaz Jee asked sangat members if they wanted to ask him anything. Instead of sangat members going right up to the front to talk to him, Maharaz Jee walked towards the sangat and asked members who wanted to ask him anything to stand up and do so. Maharaz Jee strongly encouraged debate and questions and asked the sangat to bring all their problems to him.

I am not sure where I got the courage from; it was really a “now or never” moment. I stood up and Maharaz Jee approached me. Yes he said, what did you want to say? I said Maharaz Jee I want to study. I was approaching my year 10 exams and wanted to do well in them. So be it, Maharaz Jee said and gave me a blessing. It is this amazing blessing that has carried me forward in life. As a young teenager, I was not even sure what to ask for. In fact Maharaz Jee says, that if you get such a chance, ask for your Guru him/herself. Then you will want for nothing.

I passed my year 10 and year 12 exams and secured a full scholarship to study at the LSE in London. I would never have dreamt of going to such a college in the United Kingdom. But that one blessing from Maharaz Jee carried me through. I then secured a second scholarship for my Masters also at the LSE. The way I gained this scholarship was nothing short of a miracle. For some reason my admission got cancelled; due to the Balkans war my Bulgarian airlines ticket to the UK was cancelled and I had no scholarship whatsoever. And then out of the blue, I received a phone call saying that although the airline had collapsed, I would be put on another airline at no cost.

My family and I had decided that since I now had a ticket, I could try and speak to the college and see if anything could be done about my admission. I went to the UK with no admission or scholarship and with 200 pounds in my pocket. It just so happened that my father was in the UK at the same time for work, and one early morning, he brought up a letter to me. We could not believe what we read. I received a full scholarship from the LSE for my degree program. We really have no words to thank Maharaz Jee. How do you tell the untellable?

Years later, this time with the blessings of Maharani Jee, I secured a third scholarship from Monash University to continue with my studies. When I think about Maharaz Jee’s blessings, I am lost for words. I just wanted to excel in my year 10 exams. And look where he took me? I feel he has charted my future, not just in this lifetime, but for all time to come.

My dearest Maharaz Jee and Maharani I ask for you always. Keep me humble and keep me always under your guidance. Maharani once told me that it is very important to be under your Guru.

Blessings of Maharani Pali Darshan Das Jee

Nanak Naam Chardi Kala Tere BhaneSarbat Da Bhala

I first met Maharani Jee in 2002 in New Delhi at the Khayala Darbaar (place of congregation) during a program for Amaavas (new moon). Someone fromMeerut was travelling to Delhi and invited me along. The following year Ireceived the gift of Naam fromMaharani Jee.

I would like to share how Maharani Jeeblessed my father Das Gurdeep Singh. While my father had deep respect for Maharani Jee, he did not go to the Darbaar or Dera (places of congregation) and he still had not committed to becoming a vegetarian.

Occasionally, he would eat nonvegetarian food and have some alcohol outside our home which would upset me. In 2009 my father had a stroke, and the entire left side of his body was paralysed. He could not move the limbs of the left side of his body. He was rushed to hospital and admitted into the ICU. The MRI scan revealed that the right artery of his heart was 99.9% blocked. The doctors at the hospital warned us that my father could go into a coma. The situation was very serious. I spoke to Maharani Jee over the phone and told her what had happened. I cried a lot, and she consoled me and said, don’t worry, and have courage.

Maharani Jee then came to the hospital and although no visitors were allowed into the ICU, she was permitted to see my father.

Maharani Jee held the thumb of my father’s left foot and meditated. She then blessed him. The following day, he gained some movement in his left leg. The doctors were quite surprised by the fact that even though my father’s artery was almost completely blocked, the clot that caused the blockage was not very large.

Once he began to gain movement in the left side of his body, my father thought he would recover very soon, and perhaps even go back to his old ways.

But Maharani Jee had other plans. It took 6 months for my father to fully recover from the paralysis caused by the stroke. It was during those 6 months that he became spiritually attached to Maharaz Jee and Maharani Jee. With a new lease on life, he took Naam from Maharani Jee and today remains a strong and committed devotee. I understood that his illness was a calling from Maharaz Jee and Maharani Jee for him to take Naam and to meditate.

After my father’s illness he lost his business and I had to support the family. This would not have been possible had it not been for the immense blessings of Maharani Jee.

When I first met Maharani Jee, I was in my 20’s and was very confused about what direction to take in life. I was of marriageable age, but I also wanted to study further. I went and filled the forms required to enrol in an MBA and sat the entrance exam, for which I had had very little time to prepare.

Nevertheless, I got admission into the program but was still unsure of whether I should pursue it or not. I wrote to Maharani Jee explaining thewhole situation to her. I received aphone call from the SND secretary Das Inderjit Singh who told me that Maharani Jee had received my letter and that she wanted me to continue with my studies. I completed my degree in 2005.

When I started working, I was on a very modest salary, this soon changed, and I received a lucrative package after six months. With Maharani Jee’s grace I travelled to Singapore, China and the United States. It was because of Maharani Jee’s direction and blessings that I was able to support my family financially when my father fell sick. Her blessings are the reason for the progress I have made in my life.

Today I am a director in a multinational company. Maharani Jee is always with me during every step in my life. It is through her blessings that I have been able to achieve all that I have in my life.

Blessings of Maharani Pali Darshan Das Jee

Nanak Naam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bhala 

Maharani Jee has hugely blessed my life. I was in the 10th grade when I first met Maharani Jee. Before meeting her, I used to go to the Darbaar where Babaji Sani gave spiritual sermons. Later I found out about Maharani Jee. Once I met her it felt like I had come home, and later I took Naam from her. I would like to share a recent miracle that happened in my life regarding my son Das Ashish. When he was born in 2014, Ashish was named by Maharani Jee. She said that Ashish was a blessing from the Gurus. The word Ashish means blessing. When he was two months old, Ashish held both of Maharani Jee’s hands in his tiny fingers. She gathered him in her arms and put him to sleep beside her. He was showered with her love. Ashish was just a year old when Maharani Jee left her body. However, she continues to bless him and our family each day.

Four years ago, my husband and I had decided to put Ashish in a good school in New Delhi. However not only is the admission in good schools very competitive, the school fees is also very high. We thought of applying for a fully funded seat offered by the Government. I spoke to Das Jee Kartar who asked me to put my full faith in Maharaz Jee and Maharani Jee. He said, it would all be fine, and that Ashish would secure a fully funded place in the school. With the blessings of Maharaz Jee and Maharani Jee, we applied for the seat. The outcome of the application was communicated through an online process. When we looked through the online list, Ashish’s name was not on the list. My sister and my husband also checked the list and they too confirmed that Ashish’s name was not on it.

I was in dismay and helpless wondering what I could do for my son. I immediately stood up and went and said a prayer to Maharaz Jee and Maharani Jee. I said, dear Guru, it is your wish, whatever you decide is fine. I fully surrender to you. But he is your son, please look after him. After saying this prayer, a certain sense of calmness came upon me. I strongly felt that they had heard me. For some reason, I decided to look at the online list again. Lo and behold, when I checked the second time around, his name was on the list! For me, this was nothing short of a miracle! I felt that Maharaz Jee and Maharani Jee wanted me to completely surrender to them with full faith. Once I had done that, they opened the path for Ashish. My son is truly a blessing from the Gurus. A deep thankyou to Das Jee Kartar who has given us so much support and is the true successor of Maharani Pali Darshan Das Jee.

Nanak Naam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bhala 

In 1994, I had completed my Masters and was back in Kenya looking for work in the development/aid sector. However it was difficult for me to get employment in this sector. I applied for numerous jobs but my applications but to no avial. I became quite despondent and felt dejected. I missed my friends from university and the academic atmosphere I had been surrounded by for over 4 years. Then one day I saw an advertisement in a Newspaper about a job which was related to what I had studied. The job which was advertised by a pan-African non-governmental organisation in Kenya. To apply for the job I was required to write a 2000-word essay. My father at the time was working for the Defence Staff College in Nairobi as the Deputy Commandant, and he had access to a well-equipped library. I was therefore able to access a wide range for reading materials which I used to write the essay. On 7 December 1996 I was invited for a job interview and a day later I was offered the job. It was no coincidence that I was interviewed on Maharaz Jee and Maharani Jee’s Birthday. It was the job of my dreams and opened many opportunities for me.

In 1996, I applied for an Australian permanent residency visa. I received the visa and had to migrate permanently to Australia before the end of 1999. At the time I was travelling the world and was deeply engrossed in the work I was doing. I had a very strong group of friends and was making great strides both professionally and personally. Importantly, I had the strong support and backing of my family. My parents came to the many events I organised including a book launch and an event for a campaign I was coordinating on the cancellation of Kenya’s debt. So giving everything up, just as I had started to feel comfortable in my career and my personal life was very difficult to do, and yet it had to be done.

I purchased a way one ticket and arrived in Australia on 11 November 1999. I remember that though I was quite spiritual, I was still quite absorbed in the material world. Yet, when I arrived after midnight in Melbourne, the first thing I did was to take out Maharaz Darshan Das’s photograph from my suitcase and put it on the bedside table and say a prayer. I have never forgotten that next to his photo there was a small card calendar with the photograph of Durga Ma sitting on a tiger. I suddenly felt the palpable energy of Maharani Pali Darshan Das Jee.

While I was glad to be in Melbourne, I missed my family terribly. I had no job, few savings and was living with a family we had known back in Kenya. They were very kind to host me.

I knew that in order to move on, I needed a job. However I arrived at a time when things begin to shut down in Australia for the end of year Christmas break. Every week I would buy all the Newspapers and go through the job advertisements for hours. I would cut them out and write job applications. I applied for numerous jobs and I received interviews for a few jobs, my efforts were not successful. Each week I was more and more upset. Communication with my family was difficult because there were no smart phones, WhatsApp or Facebook at that time. I did email them though, and this is how we kept in touch. I also relied on the snail mail. I felt alone and miserable and felt I had left everyone and everything that was dear to me in Nairobi, for a largely unknown future. And so I turned inward.

Years ago, Maharani Pali Darshan Das Jee had given me a brown coloured Indian suit. She asked me to get it stitched and to wear it and never to give it away. I had this in my suitcase. I began to wear the suit each day and meditate on my Naam for half an hour. I was in the city one day and just opposite Flinders Street Station there is a church known as the St Paul’s cathedral. I went into the Church so that I could sit in silence. There I spoke to my Guru and said “Maharaz Jee, please, please give me a sign about whether I will get a job”. It was a plea and I felt it came from my soul. I was in tears and for a moment I did not know where I was and my eyes were closed. When I opened my eyes, I was looking at a board which said “World Vision, Working for Children”. A few days later I was invited for an interview to World Vision Australia and got a job which was very similar to the one that I had in Nairobi. This was indeed a miracle because my work is very specialised and it is difficult to find a job in my field. And yet, a permanent job came up in Melbourne in exactly the area that I had expertise in. When I saw the paperwork, I saw again, that the job had been advertised on 7 December 1999. So I knew that this employment had come from my Guru, again.

Such are the blessings of my Guru Maharaz Darshan Das Jee and my Guru Mata (mother) Maharani Pali Darshan Das Jee. I have no words to thank them. But I now deeply understand that I am in their hands and I have to learn to be with them in each moment.
