Dukh Bhanjani sahib paath :
Dukh Bhanjani sahib
...my dearest Admin G, glad you don't know because the tale is too good ! Read up on King Dhuni Chand [I think] and his daughter Rajni. Harminder Sahib came to be as a result of this fairy tale.New What is Dukh Bhanjani Sahib paath?
..literal meaning would be, "destroyer of suffering, ailments, pain, etc." Composed mainly by the 5th Nanak for restoration of good health, fortune, etc. It is dedicated to "dukh bhanjani beri", which till this stands as a testament to the fairy-tale of Rajkumari Rajni and her leper husband.Actually, I meant Dukh Bhanjani Sahib paath...
I do not know. Mine has not been restored. Yet.can good health and fortune be restored by this paath?
can good health and fortune be restored by this paath?
No ! Her literature is fictional, operative organ responsible for manufacturing such information is the mind, whereas, the "bani" in question is spiritual, operative organ responsible for emanating information is the soul and, soul as you know is part of God.could I get the same effect by reciting the works of Enid Blyton if I really believed EB could cure me?
..absolute truth as you know is God; can the existence or non existence thereof be concluded ? No, full stop. You looking to cement universal statements within religious education is like roping Pegasus in mid-air.I have a complete respect for any way of life, and the right to carry such out, my only problem is definitive universal statements that intimate absolute truth.

..you're the best ! But guess what, so are pathfinder and RD1 in your neck of the woods as writers of English. Thus, Poets' Corner I've labelled thee all. Pleasure to read -actually your argument works equally well against you, its the best answer I could have given, I feel quite redundant, I wish I had thought of that one.

.. no ! this'd be the work of the Sikh Institute to have extracted relevant literature and compiled under the heading "dukh bhanjani sahib".Is there any baani with such a name in SGGS?
...assertions ? you mean information ! story telling is common to every culture, Indian society was no exception and this here is truth [nam] clothed in the mantle of a story. This is evidenced in the opening verse, ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਜੀ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ [p218 SGGSJ - transliteration: dukh bhanjan tera nam ji, meaning, thy name breaker of pain]. Moreover, dukh bhanjani beri [tree] is still standing within the compound Sri Harminder Sahib.Are there any direct references to your assertions in SGGS?
...I'd love to, maybe another time, but for now try your parents or other senior citizens. The story of Rajni and her leper hubby prompted Guru Amardas to research for the holy nectar [amrit]. And, it was this location now known as Amritsar [saroovar] where after falling accidently into the holy waters, the leper was cured of his leprosy.Care to explain!

..over a 100,000 footfall a day is recorded at the holy shrine of Amritsar; ask yourself why ?So, what happened before and after this one instance?
..non believers I guess ! for look at those who believe the earth to be flat, an excellent approximation when mapping out their garden. The operative word is "belief". Sikhism is "belief", you can't reason nor can you experiment for objectivity, all you can do is believe. "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" Thomas Aquinas.There are still around quarter a million lepers around the world... mostly in India... why they never got cured? Sure they would have tried their luck at the sarovar after knowing of this fairy tale from the word of mouth!
..you mean, we the "beautiful" Sikhs. Sikhism is a science; where other species are shaped by evolution, we've taken control of our own destiny, hence the 3 pillars: kk,vs and nam jap. The word of God, meaning, shabad was passed on through storytelling before the art of writing was developed. The Saakhi's, albeit secondary a source from a historical standpoint, are an integral part of Sikhism without which, reconstruction of what it was really like back in the days of Sikh Gurus would be lost. Both the historian and the sociologists would consider the saakhi's important literature for reconstruction of the human past. Remember, the "shabad guru" is not ink and paper, but a word that is spoken; how then do you think it could've survived when homo sapiens were still in their infancy and writing was a far gone conclusion?(We, the gullible Sikhs, as usual, make a paradigm shift and call it a saakhi, an eyewitness account).
..you hav'n a laugh aren't ya ? forgive me, but do you not read Gurmukhi ? The actual shabad is "dukh bhanjan", literal meaning, breaker or destroyer of pain, suffering, etc. Where bhanjan [masculine] means to break, bhanjani [feminine] is depictive of the beri that stands testament to the tale of the leper who was cured.Where in this shabd, Guru refers to Dukh Bhanjani /or Beri?
..yeah, so did Shakespeare who never envisaged that much of his writing would be "anthologised".The fifth Nanak compiled the Aad Guru Granth Sahib, He never extracted relevant Gurbani to form a compilation called Dukh Bhanjani Sahib.
...so whose done it now then, jo blogs from planet cuckoo land ? wake up son and smell the coffee ! The guru lives in His sangat, meaning institution, meaning SPN, meaning everywhere, lives in you too. Reach him with heart and not head - the penny'll drop !He certainly could have done it if He ever intended to...
..the same institution that has given millions n millions of Sikhs around the world "gutkas'", inclusive of Guru Gobind Singh's Bani, called the "Sikh Panth". And, since the 10th master had conferred both substantive and procedural autonomy upon the 5 pyara to act in accordance with the Will of Akal Purakh, prerogative is inapplicable.So which so-called "Sikh Institute?" has had the authority to do it and by whose prerogative?
