ਅੱਜ ਦਾ ਫ਼ਰਮਾਨ: ਅੰਗ #੩੮੫ | Today's extract from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji from Page #385

(ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਆਤਮਕ ਜੀਵਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਨਾਮ-ਜਲ) ਸਿੰਜਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਉਸ ਇਕ (ਸਿਰਜਣਹਾਰ-) ਮਾਲੀ ਨੂੰ (ਆਪਣੇ ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿਚ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਰੱਖੋ) ਜੋ ਹਰੇਕ ਬੂਟੇ ਦੇ ਪੱਤਰ ਪੱਤਰ ਡਾਲੀ ਡਾਲੀ ਦੀ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ (ਜੋ ਹਰੇਕ ਜੀਵ ਦੇ ਆਤਮਕ ਜੀਵਨ ਦੇ ਹਰੇਕ ਪਹਿਲੂ ਦਾ ਖ਼ਿਆਲ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੈ)

(हे भाई! आत्मिक जीवन के वास्ते नाम-जल) सींचने वाले उस एक (सृजनहार-) माली को (अपने हृदय में संभाल के रखो) जो हरेक बूटे के पत्र पत्र डाली-डाली की संभाल करता है (जो हरेक जीव के आत्मिक जीवन के हरेक पहलू का ख्याल रखता 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.

BJP Leaders about the Corona Pandemic - compiled by The Wire

With remarks ranging from flippant and insensitive to downright dangerous, BJP leaders have led the pack on 'what not to say in the middle of a pandemic'.
Here's Seraj Ali's video report inspired by Jahnavi Sen's article for The Wire.

 

It has been 414 days since the World Health Organisation (WHO) first declared COVID-19 infections to be a pandemic and 389 days since Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the country that "21 days" of lockdown was all that was needed to "win the war" against the coronavirus. In the interim, India has seen the number of active COVID-19 cases rise, then fall and now quickly rise again, as a severe second wave of infections spreads across the country.

India today has 1.93 million active COVID-19 cases, which is nearly double its active case load at the time of the first wave last year.

Time may have passed, but our leaders' understanding of how this virus spreads and what measures need to be taken to curb it does not seem to be benefitting from science, the experiences before them or even common sense. Making remarks ranging from flippant and insensitive to downright dangerous, Bharatiya Janata Party leaders have led the pack on 'what not to say in the middle of a pandemic'.

Here is a list of examples put together by The Wire of things BJP leaders have said over the last two months, but shouldn't have.

The Delhi High Court on Saturday, April 24, 2021 asked the Centre about the preparedness to deal with the expected COVID-19 second wave peak in mid-May, terming the massive rise in cases as a 'Tsunami', and warned it will "hang" any person who tries to obstruct oxygen supplies to hospitals here.

  

If anyone obstructs oxygen supply, "we will hang that man", the Delhi High Court reportedly said as it heard a Maharaja Agarsen hospital's petition over shortage of oxygen for seriously-ill COVID patients.
