ਅੱਜ ਦਾ ਫ਼ਰਮਾਨ: ਅੰਗ #੭੨੫ | Today's extract from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji from Page #725

ਹੇ ਹਰੀ! ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮ ਸਾਰੇ ਦੁੱਖ ਦੂਰ ਕਰਨ ਦੇ ਸਮਰੱਥ ਹੈ, (ਪਰ ਇਹ ਨਾਮ) ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਸਰਨ ਪਿਆਂ ਹੀ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ। ਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਸਨਮੁਖ ਰਿਹਾਂ ਹੀ (ਸੰਸਾਰ-ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਤੋਂ) ਪਾਰ ਲੰਘ ਸਕੀਦਾ ਹੈ।

हे हरी! तेरा नाम सारे दुख दूर करने के समर्थ है, (पर यह नाम) गुरू की शरण पड़ने से ही मिलता है। गुरू के सन्मुख रहने से ही (संसार-समुंद्र से) पार लांघा जा सकता है।

 

ਗੁਰੂ ਗਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਸਿੱਖ ਧਰਮ ਦਾ ਕੇਂਦਰੀ ਧਾਰਮਿਕ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਿੱਖ ਧਰਮ ਦੇ ਦਸ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ ਗੁਰੂਆਂ ਦੇ ਵੰਸ਼ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਅੰਤਮ, ਪ੍ਰਭੂਸੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਸਦੀਵੀ ਜੀਵਿਤ ਗੁਰੂ ਮੰਨਦੇ ਹਨ। ਆਦਿ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ, ਇਸ ਦਾ ਪਹਿਲਾ ਤਰਜਮਾ, ਪੰਜਵੇਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਅਰਜਨ ਦੇਵ (1563–1606) ਦੁਆਰਾ ਸੰਕਲਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਦਸਵੇਂ ਸਿੱਖ ਗੁਰੂ, ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਕੋਈ ਬਾਣੀ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤੀ; ਹਾਲਾਂਕਿ, ਇਸਨੇ ਨੌਵੇਂ ਸਿੱਖ ਗੁਰੂ, ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਜੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ 115 ਬਾਣੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਦਿ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਵਿਚ ਜੋੜਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਉੱਤਰਾਧਿਕਾਰੀ ਵਜੋਂ ਇਸ ਪਾਠ ਦੀ ਪੁਸ਼ਟੀ ਕੀਤੀ। ਇਹ ਦੂਜਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਗੁਰੂ ਗਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵਜੋਂ ਜਾਣਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਕਈ ਵਾਰ ਇਸਨੂੰ ਆਦਿ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਵੀ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

Guru Granth Sahib is the central religious scripture of Sikhism, regarded by Sikhs as the final, sovereign and eternal living Guru following the lineage of the ten human gurus of the religion. The Adi Granth, its first rendition, was compiled by the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev (1563–1606). Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, did not add any of his own hymns; however, he added all 115 hymns of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, to the Adi Granth and affirmed the text as his successor. This second rendition became known as Guru Granth Sahib and is sometimes also referred to as Adi Granth.

You won't Stop Laughing: Best Punjabi Partition Stories of 1947

Amit Tandon does no over-acting. One of the best stand-up comedian whom you can watch with family and makes everyone laugh.

A sophisticated comedian.. I am always confident that I don't have to plug in earphones when I listen to him .. And I am specifically writing this with a belief that if he ever read this then he realises how talented he is in his presentation. He has a niche audience.
