Bhagats of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

First a question.

Does anyone know how many original hymns were written by Parmanand?

The most amazing thing of this Shabad/hymn is the great choice by our Gurus. What a beautiful Shabad!

Before I use the privilege given by all of you to think aloud I would like to point out one thing about the transliteration which is often used by us without a second thought.

Guru Nanak said in Japji," Patalan patal lakh, Agasan agaal". In other words there are innumerous planets and Milky ways. Which means this Universe of ours is just a speck in the vastness still being created by Ik Ong Kaar.

Co -incidentally, yesterday there was a big news by Nasa:

Telescope blasts into space to find other Earths.

Telescope blasts into space to find other Earths

ਸਾਰੰਗ ॥
saarang.
Saarang:

Quote:

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad.
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

So the above verse by Guru Nanak shows that IK ONG KAAR is not the Creator of only ONE UNIVERSE.

Hence, in my opinion we should not use ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD( God once again is personified deity, a term borrowed from dogmatic religions) but ONE SOURCE of ALL.

This beautiful and the only Shabad of Parmanand chosen by our Gurus shows how we should be honest with ourselves. How we should look and examine our inner nakedness without tucking our tummy in while standing in front of the mirror.

The Shabad shows how we do our Nitnem- Paath mechanically and hence learn nothing from it.

Quote:

ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad. One Source of all, attained by the Grace of the True Guru.

Quote:

ਤੈ ਨਰ ਕਿਆ ਪੁਰਾਨੁ ਸੁਨਿ ਕੀਨਾ ॥
tai nar ki-aa puraan sun keenaa.
So what have you accomplished by listening to the Puraanas?
ਅਨਪਾਵਨੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਉਪਜੀ ਭੂਖੈ ਦਾਨੁ ਨ ਦੀਨਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
anpaavnee bhagat nahee upjee bhookhai daan na deenaa. ((1)) rahaa-o.
Faithful devotion has not welled up within you, and you have not been inspired to give to the hungry. ((1)(Pause))

As we all know that RAHAO is the nectar of the flower- the main idea or shall we say the naked truth of what we are actually up to. RAHAO is the real challange as Gurbani talks to us so we can learn and practice.

This Shabad shows us that we 'DO' Paath-Nitnem- reading Gurbani etc etc like good parrots rather than studying it so we can put the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji into practice so they can become our second nature or the only nature,eventually.

Today after doing your Nitnem, you went to school or went to work to do your job honestly. Did you truly do that? Did you cheat from your fellow student during the test?After putting your jacket in the back of your chair, did you escape to the beach or wander around without fulfilling your duties? How have you practiced what you learnt during your Paath this morning?

The true love for IK ONG KAAR has not sprouted in you yet despite you doing your daily Paath . That may be the reason you give a damn about helping others.

Quote:

ਕਾਮੁ ਨ ਬਿਸਰਿਓ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਨ ਬਿਸਰਿਓ ਲੋਭੁ ਨ ਛੂਟਿਓ ਦੇਵਾ ॥
kaam na bisri-o kroDh na bisri-o lobh na chhooti-o dayvaa.
You have not forgotten sexual desire, and you have not forgotten anger; greed has not left you either.
ਪਰ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਮੁਖ ਤੇ ਨਹੀ ਛੂਟੀ ਨਿਫਲ ਭਈ ਸਭ ਸੇਵਾ ॥੧॥
par nindaa mukh tay nahee chhootee nifal bha-ee sabh sayvaa. ((1))
Your mouth has not stopped slandering and gossiping about others. Your service is useless and fruitless. ((1))

You have not given up lust- sexual desire-. This may also mean committing adultery if one is married. You still get angry and greedy.

I had no idea Parmanand had watched the episode of " The Desperate Housewives" on ABC.

Once again we all see ourselves in his words. Or He sees us much better than we want to see ourselves.

Quote:

ਬਾਟ ਪਾਰਿ ਘਰੁ ਮੂਸਿ ਬਿਰਾਨੋ ਪੇਟੁ ਭਰੈ ਅਪ੍ਰਾਧੀ ॥
baat paar ghar moos biraano payt bharai apraaDhee.
By breaking into the houses of others and robbing them, you fill your belly, you sinner.
ਜਿਹਿ ਪਰਲੋਕ ਜਾਇ ਅਪਕੀਰਤਿ ਸੋਈ ਅਬਿਦਿਆ ਸਾਧੀ ॥੨॥
jihi parlok jaa-ay apkeerat so-ee abidi-aa saaDhee. ((2))
But when you go to the world beyond, your guilt will be well known, by the acts of ignorance which you committed. ((2))

Well, these economic crisis have made some desperate but I do not think he is talking about this in the literal sense. He is showing us our cunning nature of being confidence tricksters. How we, with our sweet talk can con others for our own benefit. Let us not forget the RAHAO verse here which starts with our Paath which is supposed to make us better people.

Bernie Madoffs and Stanfords and all those CEO's of big banks who got our money and gave themselves big bonuses are known to him.Bernie Madoff even stole from the charities as we all know.

Now the last part of verse can be interpretated in two manners. As Parmanand was a Hindu and believed in reincarnation then it may mean that in the next world you go to you will do the same thing as you have learnt nothing in this world from your Bhakti-Paath here.

or

If you are punished for your thievery and robbery there is no way you are capable of learning anything because your doing your daily Paath is a mere ritual not a true learning process.

Quote:

ਹਿੰਸਾ ਤਉ ਮਨ ਤੇ ਨਹੀ ਛੂਟੀ ਜੀਅ ਦਇਆ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਲੀ ॥
hinsaa ta-o man tay nahee chhootee jee-a da-i-aa nahee paalee.
Cruelty has not left your mind; you have not cherished kindness for other living beings.
ਪਰਮਾਨੰਦ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਕਥਾ ਪੁਨੀਤ ਨ ਚਾਲੀ ॥੩॥੧॥੬॥
parmaanand saaDhsangat mil kathaa puneet na chaalee. ((3)(1)(6))
Parmaanand has joined the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. Why have you not followed the sacred teachings? ((3)(1)(6))

According to Prof. Sahib Singh ji, the above transliteration is wrong. Parmanad is talking about himself as if he were looking in his inner mirror and talking to himself. He is not separating himself as the one who follows what eh has learnt from his Paath.

Once again, inspite of doing Nitnem, the cruelty has not left your mind. You have not been able to cherish any kindness, compassion and love for others.

One can still see this way of treatment in many Sikh households in India the way they treat their servants as slaves and with cruelty.

Parmanand, you while being in the Sadh Sangat- like we going to Gurdwara routinely, have not taken any benefit out of it, have not learnt anything.

After having Langar we may look for antacid and as soon as we leave its premises, our ugly nature shows up again.

So in other words, Parroting Paath can not change us. Only Shabad Vichar and putting it into practice will.

One more thing according to "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" Parmãnand was a devotee of Vishnu and used in his songs the nom de plume Sarañg, the name of a bird ever thirsty for the rain*drop.

But again according to Prof. Sahib Singh SARANG is a Raag. In fact the following Sahabd is in Sarang Raag:

ਸਾਰੰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ਸੂਰਦਾਸ ॥ ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਸੰਗ ਬਸੇ ਹਰਿ ਲੋਕ ॥ ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਅਰਪਿ ਸਰਬਸੁ ਸਭੁ ਅਰਪਿਓ ਅਨਦ ਸਹਜ ਧੁਨਿ ਝੋਕ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਪੇਖਿ ਭਏ ਨਿਰਬਿਖਈ ਪਾਏ ਹੈ ਸਗਲੇ ਥੋਕ ॥ ਆਨ ਬਸਤੁ ਸਿਉ ਕਾਜੁ ਨ ਕਛੂਐ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਬਦਨ ਅਲੋਕ ॥੧॥ ਸਿਆਮ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਤਜਿ ਆਨ ਜੁ ਚਾਹਤ ਜਿਉ ਕੁਸਟੀ ਤਨਿ ਜੋਕ ॥ ਸੂਰਦਾਸ ਮਨੁ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਹਥਿ ਲੀਨੋ ਦੀਨੋ ਇਹੁ ਪਰਲੋਕ ॥੨॥੧॥੮॥ {ਪੰਨਾ 1253}

Bhagt Parmanand has only ONE Shabad in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Sarang is name of the Raag and not his nom de plume - no nom de plumes allowed in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Not everything in wiki is 100% authentic....use your other sources to double check. There is so much plagiarism on the Internet....of the more than DOZEN sites i googled...ALL had this Same Para word for word Cut and Pasted ( Para that is qioted by naam Japp ji's beginning Mail). This means that ALL those supposedly Sikh sites...didnt turn anywhere except Wikipedia !!! or didnt even bother to look elsewhere..THIS IS BAD !!

Gyani ji,

Guru Fateh.

As not all the hymns/Shabads by the Bhagats were added in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, I was just wondering if there were other Shabads by Bhagat Parmanand besides the one added and if there are, how can one find them? And secondly, did he write the original in Marathi? If he did who translated it to add it to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji?

Actually Gyani -- The same group of pepole that writes material for sikhiwiki also writes for what is stermed the "Sikhism Portal" on Wikipedia -- because the people running Wikipedia are not as free of bias and inaccuracy as they would like the world to think. The smaller web sites appear to copy from Wikipedia, probably sikhiwiki, or both. That is why there is so much "identical"material. There is a kind of syndicate of "Sikhism" authorities, who may not actually be Sikh scholars. They are not plagiarizing. They are monopolizing. Heh Heh!

Bhagat Ramanand (1366 - 1467 AD)
Swami Ramanand is rightly regarded as an eminent of the bhagati movement in northern India and as a distinguished leader of the Bhairagi Movement. He was a follower of Swami Ragavacharya of the Ramanuj Movement (1017-1137). In the later part of his life the Archarya commanded more respect than even his own Guru and came to be known as an exponent of Rama Bhagati.
Born in 1366, Ramanand was the son of Bhoor Karma and Sushila. He was mystically inclined from his early childhood. Acharya Ragavnand, showed him the path of Yog sadhna. Ramanand also visited places of pilgrimage such as Kanshi, where as mark of respect, people built a memorial that stands there to this day. After his pilgrimage, Ramanand realised that God can be worshipped by everyone whereas his Guru Archarya Ragavnand, who comes from the Sadhu Varna Ashrama believe that not everyone is entitled to perform Puja Bhagati.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=23874
Hence he started preaching his gospel in Kanshi and imbued many devotees with the spirit of Bhagati. Kabir was the most renowned amongst his disciples. Ravi das, Sain, Dhanna and Pipa are believed to be his followers even though all of them were not his contemporaries.
Ramanand was a learned Pandit. Many of his books such as Sri Vaishnava, Matanbuj Bhaskar, Sri Ramarachan Padhti are still available. One of his hymns has been inserted in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib under Rag Basant.

Where should I go?
My home is filled with bliss.
My consciousness does not go out wandering.
My mind has become crippled. || 1 || Pause ||
One day, a desire welled up in my mind.
I ground up sandalwood, along with several fragrant oils.

You are totally pervading and permeating in all.

Encyclopaedia of Sikhism (???? ??? ???????)

Many works in Sanskrit and Hindi are ascribed to Rāmānanda by his followers, but modern scholars accept only two, Vaiṣnavamatabja Bhāskar and Rāmāchanā Paddhatī as authentic. Two Hindi padas (hymns) attributed to him are found in the Sarbāṅgī compiled by Rajjab. One of them which duplicates his single hymn included in Sikh Scripture, the Gurū Granth Sāhib, points to his nearness to the Sant tradition of nirguṇa-bhakti (worship of the Transcendent One). In this hymn (GG, 1195) idol-worship is clearly rejected, the supreme Deity, Brāhmaṇ, is conceived as all-pervading, revealed to the mind only through the śabda of the True Gurū, whereas Vedas and purāṇas avail nothing.

Bhagat Sadhna

He honours His Servants Himself, He Blesses with both hands on his forehead.

According to the Holy Word, every kind of being can get liberated provided he or she moulds his or her life in keeping with the ideals of the true preceptors. There are evidences in the Sakhis (religious stories) about the Gurus that Kauda, a Kapalika with devilish tendencies got transformed through Guru Nanak's company into a noble being. Similarly, there was a robber who used to rob people wearing the garb of a noble. He gave up his evil deeds and devoted himself to remembering Divine Name and service of mankind. Then, there was prostitute by the name of Ganka who succeeded in achieving the ultimate end of her life by remembering the Name (Lord). Sadhna, the butcher, was also one such person who used to kill daily many innocent animals for earning his livelihood. He belonged to village Sihwan, in the Hyderabad region, known as the cradle of ancient civilization. The exact date and year of his birth are not known. On the basis of whatever little information we have about him, we can say that Sadhna was a contemporary of Bhagat Namdev.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=23874
A hymn by Sadhna has been included in the Guru Granth Sahib; a fact which has immortalized him.
It is said that Sadhna used Salgram (a stone idol symbolic of Siva) as a weight to weigh the meat he sold. One day an enlightened mendicant passed by, and he chided Sadhna for what he did. Sadhna repented and renounced his home and left for the forests. It is also said that on his way to the forests, a woman met him She felt so charmed by Sadhna that she wanted to possess him. However, Sadhna remained indifferent to all her actions. She thought that perhaps the presence of her husband is the hindrance and Sadhna does not take the initiative because of his fear. So the woman took no time in murdering her husband, thereby clearing the way for Sadhna. However, while committing this crime, she failed to read correctly the mental state of Sadhna who was then on the point of acquiring mystical unity with the Lord. Therefore, whatever she did, she failed to charm Sadhna. At last when she found defeat staring in her face, she alleged that Sadhna had killed her husband. Consequently, the poor Sadhna had his hands chopped off as a punishment for the crime he never committed. God has always protected his devotees and there are extant evidences to prove this contention : for example, He saved Prehlad, helped Namdev and saved the honour of Daropadi, similarly, Sadhna also prayed to God

Nothing am I, no pride is mine; nothing is mine,
