Happy Gurpurab Day 2020: Meeting With Almighty Supreme Kabir
Once during the early hours Shri Nanak Sahib was taking a bath at the banks of river Bai then Supreme GOD came in the form of a Jinda Sage to meet Nanak dev. They had a conversation and Shri Nanak did not accept the knowledge given by the Jinda Sage. Then the Sage gave certain proofs from Srimad Bhagavad Gita which forced Shri Nanak Sahib to go back home & take a look at the scriptures which he found to be completely true. After that shri Nanak Sahib became restless in his mind and he started to yearn for another meeting with the Jinda Sage so he could ask more questions.

After six months, one morning Shri Nanak Sahib was bathing on the banks of river Bai. He saw Jinda Sage coming towards him. Nanak Sahib said to Jinda Sage that, “the knowledge You gave me previously is all true but that I have never heard it from anyone else talk about it either it becomes very difficult for me to believe it unless if You show me Sachkhand then I will believe”. Then God in the form of Jinda Sage took Shri Nanak Sahib to Sachkhand. After reaching Satlok Shri Nanak Sahib realised that the Jinda Sage is in fact God Himself.
Shri Nanak Dev Ji Saw Satlok
For the next 3 days Guru Nanak Sahib stayed at Sachkhand (Satlok) with God & saw all the beauty & splendor of Sachkhand. Then Almighty told him that right now I am living at kashi in Hindostan (India), I am giving true knowledge there. You come there & I will provide you Satnaam at Kashi, by reciting Satnaam you can forever come back to Sachkhand. After this the spirit of Shri Nanak Sahib was sent back to earth. When the spirit of Shri Nanak Sahib came back, he re-emerged from the river 3 days later.

He had only one thing on his mind to find that complete Guru (Satguru) Who is here on earth & Who will provide him with Satnaam so he could return back to Sachkhand where we all came from. He was very saddened by his return, in this sadness he did his very first travel (Udaasi). In his first travel, he eventually came to Kashi (Varanasi, Benares) where he saw God & his grandeur after meeting Him. There Shri Guru Nanak Sahib spoke few lines which are written in Shri Guru Granth Sahib ji in, Raag ‘Siri’ Mehla 1, on Page no.24 Shabd/Hymn
Ek suaan dui suaani naal, Bhalke bhaunkahi sada biaal ||
Kud chhura mutha murdaar, Dhaanak roop raha Kartaar ||1||
Mae pati ki pandi na karni ki kaar, Uh bigad roop raha bikraal ||
Tera ek naam taare sansaar, Main eho aas eho aadhaar ||
Mukh ninda aakha din raat, Par ghar johi neech manaati ||
Kaam krodh tan vasah chandaal, Dhaanak roop raha Kartaar ||2||
Faahi surat malooki ves, Uh thagvaada thaggi des ||
Kharaa siaana bahuta bhaar, Dhaanak roop raha Kartaar ||3||
Main keeta na jaata haraamkhor, Uh kia muh desa dusht chor ||
Nanak neech kah bichaar, Dhaanak roop raha Kartaar ||4||
A few portions of Guru Granth Sahib ji, Raag Aasaavri, Mehla 1.
Sahib mera eko hai eko hai bhaai eko hai
Aape roop kare bahu bhaanti, Nanak bapura ev kah || (page 350)
Jo tin kia so sachu thia, amrit naam Satguru dia || (page 352)
Guru pura te gati mati paai (page 353)
Boodat jagu dekhia tau dari bhaage ||
Satguru raakhe se bad bhaage, Nanak Guru ki charnon laage || (page 414)
Main Guru poochhia apna saacha bichaari Ram || (page 439)
In the above mentioned sacred speech, Shri Nanak Sahib is himself accepting that GOD is only One, and he (Shri Nanak ji) also had a living Guru in human form about Whom he has said, “I gained true spiritual knowledge from the complete Guru, and my Guru ji gave (amrit naam) eternal mantra, which provides complete salvation, to me”. That same Guru of mine acquires different forms i.e.
He only is the Supreme Almighty; He only acquires Jinda form. He only is sitting in the form of a weaver (dhaanak) in Kashi city and is also playing the role of an ordinary devotee. Seeing the whole world burning in the fire of birth and death as the result of their actions due to worshiping opposed to the scriptures, and with the fear of my life being wasted, I took refuge in Guruji’s Feet.
Who Was the Guru of Shri Nanak Dev?
To get this knowledge we have to explore the most Holy books of Sikhs “Shri Guru Granth Sahib” where Shri Guru Nanak Sahib has given information about his Guru Who gave him initiation.
In Guru Granth Sahib “Raag Tilang 1” on page no. 721 in his Sacred Speech, Mehla 1, Shri Nanak Sahib has stated that-
Yak arj guftam paesh to der gosh kun Kartaar |
Hakka KABIR Kareem Tu, Beaeb Parvardigaar ||
Nanak bugoyad janu tura, Tere chaakraan paakhaak ||
After this Shri Guru Nanak Sahib tried to spread the word of this true knowledge. But people would not listen rather they would stand against him. The true knowledge of Shri Nanak Sahib was hurting the business of fake religious gurus so they convinced the authorities that Shri Nanak Sahib was giving the wrong knowledge & sent him to jail. After a while the truth won & Shri Nanak Sahib was released and he kept spreading the knowledge.
People started to understand his knowledge. People who took initiation from Shri Guru Nanak Sahib came to be known as Sikhs. The meaning of Sikh is Student & that is how Sikhism started.
The Message of Happy Gurpurab Day 2020
The true message of Gurpurab is that only with true worship can one find salvation & upto whatever time you are living in this world your life should be virtuous & then only can one find GOD. This way your life too will be peaceful. This message should always be shared with the whole society. We must always remember that this universe is of Satan. And we must find that True Guru (Satguru) who will guide us to reach our true home Sachkhand/Satlok.
Who Is That True Guru?
Let’s see the prophecies of Shri Guru Nanak dev ji, Bala, Mardana, & Bhagat Prahalad about the coming messenger. The proof is written in Bhai Bale Vali Janam Sakhi.
In Bhai Bale Vali Janam Sakhi there is a prophecy by Bhagat Prahalad about the coming messenger of GOD. Prahalad mentions that the Messenger of God will come on earth many centuries after Guru Nanak in Punjab and will take birth in a Jat family.
For Evidence read in:- “Bhai Bale Vali Janam Sakhi” in hindi whose composer is :- Bhai Javahr Singh Kirpal Singh & company Pustaka Valle Bajar Mai Seva, Amritsar (Punjab).
One must keep in mind among all ten Sikh Guru Sahibaans, there was not a single Jat among them. Bhai Bale Vali Janam Sakhi clears that it was Sant Rampal ji Maharaj who was supposed to come after KABIR ji & Nanak ji on the land of Punjab.
Sant Rampal ji Maharaj took birth on 8th September 1951 at village Dhanana, district Sonipat, Haryana (at that time it was Punjab state) country was India. It is only Sant Rampal ji Maharaj Who fits correctly with all prophecies including one from Bhai Bale Vali Janam Sakhi.
For more information, please listen to the spiritual sermons on Sadhana channel in evening at 7:30pm to 8:30pm. Sant Rampal ji Maharaj is the only one last Messenger of GOD so please take free initiation from Him.
