Punjabi Sakhis For Kids – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Guru Gobind Rai was born in the city of Patna in the state of Bihar. Gobind Rai; A divine soul sent from the heavens to help this earth. People always noticed that when he played with his friends, even though he was physically stronger, he was always kind to everyone. He was always having fun, joking around and he laughed all the time. And there were so many games he liked to play with his friends. Sometimes he also liked to do mischief.

Near his house, there was an old woman who spun yarn and she used a wheel to spin raw cotton into yarn balls. One day Gobind Rai decided to make a little mischief, and he snuck up behind her chair. She couldn’t see him and suddenly he knocked her basket of yarn balls on the ground and ran away. The balls of yarn had taken ages to spin and got all dirty and dusty. So the old woman got really angry with him. She picked up a big stick and waved it wildly in her hand while shouting at Gobind Rai, "I've been working on that basket of yarn all day. How dare you knock it down!" She chased him, thinking she would give him a sound beating with the stick. She yelled, "I don't care who your parents are, I'll teach you some manners! Come here boy!" She almost caught him. But he just ran away faster not letting her catch him. He used to do this prank on her until she got fed up. 

She went to Gobind Rai’s home and began complaining to Mata Gujri Ji, his mother. She whined, "Your son! He keeps sneaking into my workroom and scattering all my yarn. All I have is that yarn. And he does it all the time. I'm so miserable. He must stop this. I have no peace of mind." Mata Gujri was a kind and wise woman, and she could see the old woman was really in distress. So she gave the woman some clothes and some money, saying, "Here, take these. It's the least I can do for you."

The old woman was very poor and she was surprised and touched by Mata Gujri. It was not often she was given clothes and money. Instantly she became very happy and changed her tune, "Well after all he is just a child. Mata Ji, we shouldn't mind if he does a little mischief. It's alright, he can still play with me..." Mata Gujri herself was ever trusting and could never stay mad at her son. She thought, "He is sent by God so I have to accept what he does. He will protect humanity."

After the old woman had gone home Gobind Rai came home from playing. He clearly had something on his mind, and he shared it with his mother, "Mata, you know that woman today with the yarn? Well, when I knocked it over it wasn't her yarn that was being destroyed. It was the stains of her soul that were being destroyed. Her poverty had to be taken away. She was poor before, but after knocking over the yarn look how rich she is. It was destiny for you to give her all the nice clothes and money."

Everyone who heard this story was amazed that this young boy, not much older than a toddler could say such things. His grandmother knew better though. She thought, "He's a real Guru. He is bringing all the wisdom he brought with him from the heavens."

After this, the old woman began visiting the Guru's house more often. She began joining the Sangat for early morning prayers. She joined the company of the saints and her life became very blessed.

This is how Gobind Rai helped people. Even when he was annoying or bothering someone, he was actually helping them. Even when he was mischievous, it always turned out better for others. On one hand, this old woman was blessed with wealth on this earth. But she was even more enriched by the blessings of the heavens. Her spirit had been touched by the Guru.

Once upon a time, Guru Gobind Singh Ji was teaching the Sikhs wonderful lessons about our own hearts. In the Sangam, there came a rich boy who really wanted to serve the Guruji. Of course Guruji, knew what was in the boy’s heart and to test it he asked everyone, “I am thirsty, who can get me water?”

And before anyone else could answer, the boy exclaimed “I will!” and left to get the water. Soon enough the boy proudly came back with a glass of water. Guru ji said, “Your hands look soft. What do you do for work?”

The boy replied, “My parents have plenty of money, so I don’t need to work. Whenever I want something I ask a servant for it."

It’s true that his parents had spoiled him, they never even had him do chores or even clean his room. He led a very soft and easy life while other people did everything for him. Guruji asked, “You never work?”

“That's true, you are such an inspiration. You are the first person I’ve even thought of serving! This is the first time I have gotten water for anyone.”

Then Guruji continued teaching without drinking the water. Eventually, someone asked, “Guru ji, you asked for water, now you are not drinking. Are you no longer thirsty?” Guruji replied, “I will not drink this water. It is dirty.”

The boy did not understand, “True King, I assure you that this water is not dirty. I cleaned the glass myself, then I put in water directly from the well. It is pure!” Guru ji explained, “Your hands have dirtied the water.” The boy was surprised and said, “No Guruji, I cleaned my hands first. I brought it directly to you. There is nothing that could have dirtied the water, it really is pure!” “ Guruji said, “My boy, hands are made pure by doing service. Your hands are dirty.”

Then Guru ji spoke to everyone there, “Listen fellow sikhs, if you do not work or serve others, it is like as if you become filled with dirt. If you are filthy who will want to be near you? Your feet are made pure by going to see your Guru. Your hands are made pure by service. It is our lifestyle to serve the Sangat. This is very important!”

These words pierced the boy’s heart. He had always been a good boy but he realized he wanted to be more than that. He was no longer comfortable just receiving from others. The boy bowed his head and he made a decision: “From now on I will not just be a taker, I will also give. I won’t just let people serve me like I’m royalty. I will also be a humble servant.”

Some time had passed and Guru Ji again saw him in the Sangat. He knowingly smiled, “I am thirsty, who will get me water?” Just like before the boy volunteered right away, “I will bring you water!” 

Chanting Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru, the boy brought the water. Guru ji looked at his hands, which were rough and stained from work. He could see the boy was more humble. He could also see the water was different from last time. It had the vibration of love and service. This was because the boy's heart was shining now. Smiling, Guru ji said, “THIS is pure water!” And Guru ji happily drank the water. The boy felt a connection with Guru Gobind Singh Ji that he hadn’t felt before and his heart filled with more love than ever.

We should all work honestly and earn a living. Even the first Guru, Guru Nanak showed us the way to earn our living by farming. As a little child, you should, along with your studies, serve your elders and the needy.

Akbar was a famous king of India. He was a kind and good king and respected the Sikh Gurus for their fair and just teachings. In the year 1569, Akbar came to Punjab and wanted to see Guruji. So he sent a message to Guru Amar Das Ji that he was coming to visit him.

The Sikhs were very happy at the news. Some Sikhs thought that special arrangements should be made to welcome the king. But Guruji said, "Akbar is as much a human being as others are. The Guru's place is open to all. So Akbar will be welcomed like all other visitors to the Guru's place and special arrangements need not be made."

The king, along with the soldiers, arrived in Goindwal where Guruji lived. Guruji and a few Sikhs received them warmly and showed him the place. Akbar had heard of Guruji’s order that “anyone coming to visit his place must have their food in the Langar". King Akbar was interested to know how the Guru's Langar was run. Simple food was served to all in the Guru's Langar. It remained open day and night and anyone no matter what caste or religion they belonged to had Langar by sitting sat in rows (Pangat) as equals. The king and his subjects, the Hindus and the Muslims, the rich and the poor are all equal here

After meeting Guruji, Akbar said "I want to make a grant of land for running the Langar. Would you mind it!”.

Guruji replied, "Dear Akbar, I am grateful to you for your offer of a grant of land for the Langar, but I am sorry I cannot accept it because the Guru likes all to work hard to earn (Kirt Karni) and to share their honest earnings (Wand Chakna) with others, by giving something to the Langar from their honest earnings to help others. As such, the Guru's langar is the people's (Sangat's) Langar and it must be run on people's free gifts and not on a royal grant. That is why all share equally in the Guru's Langar and no one is looked upon as an outsider. In the Guru's Langar, each gives as much as we can spare and takes as much as he/she needs. Here, there is no difference between kings and beggars. All sit together, and eat simple food served with loving care." Akbar liked the Guru's idea very much.

Akbar had made up his mind to do something for the house of Nanak and presented the land to Bibi Bhani the daughter of Guru Amar Das. Baba Budhaji was responsible for the upkeep of the land and any income generated was used for good deeds.

Mana, a hard-working and devout Sikh of Guru Angad, served in the langar of the Guru's kitchen. But due to Mana's hard work, he became conceited and thought there was no other hardworking sewak in the Darbar of the Guru. Though Mana did his duty well, he became very rude and didn't hesitate to abuse other Sikhs.

Sikhs complained to Guru Angad about the behavior of Mana. Guru Angad spoke with Mana and asked him to treat all Sikhs alike and to improve his behavior and attitude.

Hearing such words from the Guru, Mana became even more rash and cursed and abused the Sikhs that had complained about him.

 The Sikhs told Guru Angad that Mana's behavior was becoming worse. This time the Guru called a congregation and summoned Mana. Guru Angad asked why Mana had not been serving everyone as instructed. Mana said, that he is Guru’s Sikh and will only do what Guru orders him to and that he was no one else’s servant. Upon hearing, Guru Angad decided to test Mana and asked him to leave the duties of Langar, gather some firewood, go to the forest and cremate himself.

Accordingly, Mana collected wood, went to the forest, and made a pyre. But on setting fire and seeing the flames Mana got scared and did not relish the idea of death. Meanwhile, a thief arrived and asked the reason the great fire had been lit. Mana related his whole story. The thief on hearing of the Guru Angad's greatness began to repent and concluded that, at last, he had an opportunity of wiping out the sins of his past life. He handed over the casket of gems to Mana and in exchange sat on the pyre. The fire left the thief unharmed who thereafter became a Sikh and joined the Sangat at Khadoor Sahib. Meanwhile, Mana went to the bazaar to sell the gems and was arrested on suspicion of having stolen them and was hanged following a trial.

At the age of eighteen, Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s father Mehta Kalu Ji was disappointed that Guru ji’s was neither interested in farming nor other worldly work. He thought that perhaps by engaging Guruji in trade would not only be a good profitable profession but will also make him happy. Father Kalu Ji gave Twenty Rupees to Guru ji and said, “Buy some genuine goods which can make us a profit when sold.”

Guru Nanak Dev ji along with Bhai Mardana Ji started from Talwandi towards Choohar-khaana to purchase some merchandise. They had hardly gone ten miles when they came across a village, where the saints and other people were thirsty, hungry and sick due to lack of water and an outbreak of disease. Guru Nanak Sahib Ji said that no bargain can be more truly profitable than to feed and help the needy and spent all the money on buying food and clothes for the saints and other people.

Upon reaching back to Talwandi, Bhai Mardana Ji went to the village and narrated the whole story to Mehta Kalu Ji. Mehta Kalu was very angry that they had wasted money on feeding, clothing and taking care of needy people and didn’t make any profit. Guru Nanak Dev asked his father not to get angry on him and tried to convince his father that he had not done anything wrong with the money but has done a ‘Sacha Sauda’ (True bargain) in the true sense.

At the place where the true bargain took place, stands Gurdwara Sacha Sauda Sahib. In current times, Gurdwara Sacha Sauda is in Pakistan in the city of Farooqabad.

This story is from the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

When Guru Nanak Dev Ji was young, he managed to find a job on the reference of his sister's husband with Nawab Daulat Khan Lodhi in Sultanpur. His job was to weigh the food from godown to sell to the customers. But while counting, whenever Guru Ji reached No. 13 (Tera) he would completely lean in the god's name and will give more to the customer than asked for while reciting "Tera Hi Tera" meaning "Everything belongs to you". 

But when Nawab Daulat Khan heard about this, he went to the godown to check things himself. Everyone was then surprised to see that all the things were in order and all the wheat and money is well accounted for.

This story is from the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Once there lived a man named Sajjan in Tolumba, now part of Pakistan. He was considered to be a good person in his region since he had established a place, Dharamshala, for people to stay. But he had a bad habit that if anyone forgets their belongings, he used to take them as his own and keep it. Over time, this habit took a bad turn and he started to loot any visitor who happened to come to his place. And over time, people started to call him Sajjan Thug. 

Then once, Guru Nanak Ji and Bhai Mardana stayed at his place and when Sajjan Thug listened to Guru Ji's recitals in the evening, he had a complete transformation. He donated all the wealth he had acquired by wrongdoings to the poor and started living a moral life and helping others.

This is the story from the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

When Guru Nanak Dev Ji was travelling with Bhai Mardana, he reached Aminabad. There, Guru Ji saw Bhai Lalo who was working diligently and honestly and Guru Ji enjoyed the 'Kodre Di Roti' in a meal at Bhai Lalo's place. But even that simple meal was very delicious and Guru Ji explained that this meal was flavored with honesty and truth. But in the same city, a rich guy Malik Bhago used to live who had arranged a massive feast and invited Guru Nanak Dev Ji. But Guru Ji declined to join but when Malik Bhago insisted, Guru Ji went to meet him. There Guru Ji held poor Bhai Lalo's "Kodre di roti" in one hand and when pressed, pure milk started to flow out of it. Similarly, when Guru Ji pressed Malik Bhago's malpuras, poor people's blood started to drop out of it.

This is the story from the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Once when Guru Nanak Dev Ji was traveling, he reached a mountainous region with Bhai Mardana. When Bhai Mardana started to feel thirsty, Guru Ji asked him to go to a spring at the top of the mountain and seek help from Peer Vali Kandhari who lived there. When Bhai Mardana went there to seek help, Vali Kandhari declined to help them out. Then Guru Nanak Dev Ji made water appear from the barren mountainous land. Frustrated to see this, Vali Kandhari rolled down a big rock towards them but Guru Ji stopped this huge rock with his bare hand. This is where the Gurudwara Panja Sahib was built later on. Seeing this, Vali Kandhari realized the divine power of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and accepted his defeat.

This story is from the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Once a dacoit Bhumi Daku used to live in a village. When he invited Guru Nanak Dev Ji to come and have food at his place, Guru Nanak Dev Ji asked him to make four promises.

1. He will not steal from the poor.
2. He will always speak the truth.
3. If he eats somewhere, then he can’t steal from that house.
4. He will not let anyone else take the blame for his bad deeds.

When Bhumi Daku once again thinks about going back to his old ways, he remembered the promises he made to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. While he managed to get his hands on the enormous riches of the King, but his promises to Guru Ji save him from committing the crime and act as a guiding light for him and for the rest of the villagers.
