Sulhi...Paath

Taranjeet singh · #1 (**permalink**) 19-Nov-2011, 19:08 PM

I am posting the 'Shabad' for a specific query. I am told by my wife that following ‘shahabd’ is also to be recited as a prayer to keep away the evil spirits. I am not aware of this and would like comments of learned members on this. It is called as –'sulhi-paath'. and appears on ang 825.[;Seems to be controversial to me and have formed no opinion on this as yet and do not do it as a Paath.]

This relates to a historical incident in Guru jis life....SK was coming to kill/capture Guru ji when his horse bolted straight into a Brickklin...and he was burnt to death.
2. Notice that THIS DOESNT mean that we cna assume then Guru Ji never died...becasue Jehangir Chandu etc were NOT "destroyed" like SK !!
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37626
IT simply declares and affirms GURU Jis assertion that EVERY ACTION is HIS HUKM...bad and the Good BOTH come form HIM.....SK wanted to kill Guru Ji..he was burnt alive...BUT same didnt happen to jehangir and Chandu...neither did Aurengzeb get burnt etc etc..

Concluison" This is MANMATT to take Gurbani as a Mantar....to chase away evil spirits or invite good spirits......NEITHER ..GURBANI is to Accept HIS HUKM in each action.PERIOD.

yes , Gurbani is not a manttar ..... gurbani is guidelines ,a guidance by guru ji's.....

Veer Ji the only way to be sure is to try and use it against the one who suggested it,let me know if it works and I will try it against mine!

Spji Veer ji ..I am only half year old in marriage yet. Let me enjoy myself for some time.
I shall try it after ,say, five six years and then let you know the consequences.

Don't worry about the consequences I'm fifteen years married ,my wife usually says that we are married for seven life times,God Help Us!

Gyani is right I was just joking she does not have an evil spirit but sometimes when I was first married because she has eyes like a cat she used to scare me a bit in the dark.
