As we sail through these challenging times, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s 400th Prakash Purab (Illumination Day) comes to our rescue. Celebrating his teachings, Daler Mehndi launched his new song ‘Jo Sukh Ko Chahe Sadaa’ which is a strong mantra with 57 shlokas authored by Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur. The road map to have a ‘Spiritual Immunity’ is to constantly be in GRATITUDE. Salok Mahalla 9 centres our consciousness, makes us reflect, if we follow the directions, Life becomes joyous. If we learn from the words- JO SUKH KO Chahe Sada – whoever wants eternal bliss – Saran Raam Kee Leh – run take sanctuary, a refuge under Ram. Kaho Nanak Sun Re Mana – Nanak says Listen O Mind! – Durlabh Manukh Deh – this human body is extremely rare.
Talking about the Live prayer session, singing icon Daler Mehndi said, “I have lost my very close family members and friends to COVID just like many other people. But instead of losing hope let us shift our minds from fear to Fearlessness. Together We Can do it. We should empathise, pray for all, Trust and Surrender, Be more mindful, Pause and Process your thoughts and feelings, check if they are in alignment with the Divine, if not, start over, We should pay our Gratitude to the supreme power”.
He adds that people nowadays are not even aware of the value of the rare precious gift – our Human Body. Only if we were to acknowledge ourselves, teach our kids how durlabh (rare) our human body, life and the mind is – only then, we will be able to take care of it and only then will make well-informed choices and thus be better people, then a better society, a nation and a world. We are reminded of the words of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Guru –
Guru Tegh Bahadur Simariyai – Meditating on Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib ji
Ghar Nau Nidh Aawe Dhaye – we receive the 9 treasures, (of which Great Physical Health is one and the riches of the world ) – Oneness with the Divine
Sabh Thaayee Hoye Sahaaye – we get the support – Right Here Right Now
Our parents or grandparents had experienced partition, wars etc. Today we all are experiencing the greatest churning of all times suffering, pain, deaths but we also are getting an opportunity to experience ONENESS- coming together as one big community – HUMANITY.
