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."
Akali Phula Singh
Not long ago in Amritsar, there was a group of people called the 'Nirankaaris'. They did great insults to the Guru like putting a man above the Guru that they said is the living Guru. Some Khalsa marched in protest to them carrying this man in a Palki at Baisakhi. The Nirankaaris shot at these men and many of them died. They died fearlessly and they never forgot the Guru.
The Martyrs Of Amritsar
Guru Amar Das, the third Guru, was becoming old and it was time to decide who had the selflessness to carry on the light of Guru Nanak. He tested both of his son-in-laws, Bhai Rama and Bhai Ram Das. He made them build platforms for him to meditate on. When the son-in-laws made the platforms, the Guru rejected their work. He continued to have them build and tested their devotion to see who would truly be selfless.......
Who Will Be Fourth Guru?
A begging Faqir, who was very unclean, always slandered Guru Amar Das for not giving him gifts. Bhai Jetha who later became Guru Ram Das, gave the man a very, very expensive necklace. He said "My Guru has given me the jewel of the Name, it is more valuable than anything." Bhai Jetha ji showed us a very great truth that day.
The True Necklace
This story took place not very long ago. A girl going to college serves her sick brother with sincere dedication. After a series of meetings with a divine character her faith is strengthened. She realizes there is great power in prayer and God can come to us in our normal lives.
The Power of Prayer
A robber named, Bhumi Daku, met Guru Nanak. He promised the Guru certain things. Later these promises made chaos as they changed how he could steal from people. The whole scene gets turned up side down but Bhumi Daku kept his promises to the Guru. He ended up learning a great lesson. The Guru taught him in such a wonderful way!
Bhoomi Daku's Promise to the Guru
Once Guru Amar Das ji was in deep, deep meditation. His daughter, Bibi Bhani, saw that the platform he was on was going to break and he would be jolted awake when that happens. She put her hand in the way. Her hand got cut really bad. When Guru ji saw her pain and devotion he granted her a blessing. She asked that the Guruship always stay in her family line. The rest of the Gurus were descendants of Bibi Bhani and Guru Ram Das.
Bibi Bhani and the Platform
Once Guru Nanak went on a long walk with all his dicsiples. As they were walking some people found money on the ground and they went home. After a long, long distance only two Sikhs were left. Guru Nanak told them to eat a dead body. One Sikh couldn't do it, but Bhai Lehna humbly obeyed. Lehna's devotion surpassed all tests. He was so devoted he was like an 'ang' a limb of the Guru.
Bhai Lehna Ji's Devotion
Guru Nanak knew that the time was coming for him to do his mission. He sat by the river and was confronted by all kinds of demons but he wasn't distracted. After they couldn't do anything to him, he went in to the river for 3 days. When he came out he said Japji. Soon after he, Mardana and Bala went on great journeys to go everywhere and help the world.
Nanak and the River
When he was a teenager, Guru Nanak had the job of weighing grain. Sometimes he would accidentally give too much grain. When his boss heard about this he came over to see how much Nanak had given away for free. To his surprise there wasn't less grain than there should have been, there was more grain than there should have been! Guru Nanak was again protected because he was joined with God.
Nanak Giving Grain
Once, when Guru Nanak was young, he stopped eating very much. He just stayed in his room and missed being with God. His parents got worried and called a doctor to see if he was sick. While he was being checked out, Nanak started telling the doctor all of the doctors problems. The doctor said "He's not sick, he just misses God."
Nanak and the Doctor
Kalu Mehta, Guru Nanak's father, tried to get his son to make some money. He gave him some money to go buy some things in the market to sell to someone else for more money. Nanak bought some good foods for this. When he met some holy men who hadn't eaten, he gave everything to them. His father was really angry when he came back with nothing. Serving the saints is surely more benefit than money!
Nanak Feeding the Yogis
As a child Nanak was only concerned with meditating on God. Even when he was sleeping, he was with God. Once he fell asleep under a tree. When the sun moved he was going to get burned by the hot rays. A cobra protected him from being woken up by spreading it's hood over him as shade. When Rai Bular saw this scene he considered this child Nanak to be very special.
Nanak and the Cobra
When Guru Nanak was a boy he once took the cows out to graze. He fell asleep and the cows ate all the neighbors crops. When the man found out he told Rai Bular, the village chief, to punish Nanak's father. Everyone went to see the field the cows destroyed. When they got there not only were the plants OK, they were even greener than before. Because Nanak was meditating on God nothing went wrong.
Nanak and the Corn Field
One time Guru Gobind Singh told one of his soldiers to climb up a huge tree that was near by. He told him to go up there and look for a Pipal tree. When the Pipal tree was found Guru ji told him that one day the Pipal tree will be even higher that the huge tree above it. "When it gets that high than the Khalsa will flourish in this world." The Pipal tree grows very slow and as it takes over the other tree surely the Khalsa will spread in the kindest of spirits.
