My Jatha Is The Best :), I love my Jatha
By: TejiKaur
I wanted to belong to one who I loved only then could I ever be whole
I wanted The one whose compassion instantly broke my anger to pieces
the one who melted my heart and made it smile over and over when Kaljug took its toll
whenever I was broken he was alway there to heal me as I went over lifes confusing bumps and creases
I longed to be his and dreamed of being his wife
I dreamed of hearing the unspoken speach of love and affection
I dreamed of making his tender sweetness my comfort in trouble and strife
I wanted to build my home in his perfect perfection day and night I would cherish the connection
finnaly the day came when I would join him in his permanant palace
I was to recieve the Amrit the necter of life and join my Lord
I was to be liberated from my bodys flaws no more anger, greed or ego-filled malice
And so my soul became elavated and ecstatic as I embraced the exilir of the double eged sword
For so long my heart was always his but now its official I thought
meanwhile day and night I enjoyed belonging to my wonderous husband
My heart was never lonely nor did my mind ever become distraught
How could ones spirit ever hurt when they have the power of Gods hand
But then would day I met someone who said my life was totally wrong
This was not the way to worship God he said that not how it goes
than he asked me how I do simran and said it was incorecct all along
and to follow his jatha cause only his jatha knows
So I listened about his jatha and my heart filled up with wonder and prem
I loved every bit of Bhai Randhir Singh jis messege and doctrine of jeeven
I followed the akj rehit in hapiness my burning soul peaceful and tame till another messenger came
and I allowed myself to get brainwashed again thinking my bumpy soul would leven
The Sikh He said give up Akj become a nihung
Akj is all about looking good they are pakhand not panthic at all
come on look at their Simran look how its sung
dont you wanna join the army of those strong as a mountain twice as tall
I listened to the teachings and they Vibrated inside
My heart longed to be a nihung but I still loved Akj
Regardless from that day onwards it was with the Gurus Laadli fauj I would abide
or so I thought Till once again a Sikh cane to show me the way once more my soul was to sway
I head the amazing love filled voice of the angels and listed to his Sakhis in awe
I saw God in the face of The Saint in all his glory and extol
Nanaksar Sahib made its place in my heart it was the only way I saw
But still I could not forget the way of life of the Nihungs or Akj from my soul
Than one day a Singh came from Damdami Taksal
He was so brave and so paka in rehit
I thought I would love to join Sant Jis Jatha this is my true call
I would be Taksali and that was that
Untill I heard the Chardi Kala Jatha play
And saw the faces of 3h0
Bibi Snatam Kaur just made my day
3ho was the way to go
I lived in Peace one day I woke to do my nitnem
My heart was wavering confused
I had forgotten the meaning of life and who I am
My soul was broken and confused
I loved the nihungs but akj too
3h0 had a place within me
I was bound to Nanaksar Sahib through and though
The Taksal experience could last eternity
So who do I follow where do I go
All of the Bhramgianis were right
So which jatha to join I don’t know
Their were so many differences but each Unparelled inspite
Do I eat meat or not
What color and style should I tie my dastaar
Such trivial matters but my mind still faught
From the truth I wandered far and far
I missed those days when it was me and my Guru
and I was just his period
The days where I would do Simran in the language of love and dwell on the One whose True
The days where I was free to dance how God moved me and be happy whatever he did
Suddenly it seemed so excruciatinly confusing
Nothing was right nor was it wrong
Hanging on by hopes famous last sting
I wondered where is it that I belong
Than I looked to the sky and remembered the day, the feeling, the monment the true belief
The reason I live, the inspirer of rehit, my Satguru my jaan and support
I remembered the one to who I belonged and who was their to share my trouble and grief
as I gave up all other colors My hear intuitively led my feet to his court
After roaming around I was home to my maharaj
And I asked Guru Ji for the answer
I folderd my hands and offered my body soul and laaj
And placed my faith in one who no obstacle could deter
As I prayed I felt it all it was all right their ahead
The source of all the necter, bliss, and power
The Guru to whom all great Saints bowed their head
The one who mended the broken and loved the meek and at the same time made the 5 sinners cower
Sitting there in Guru Jis Hazoori I found the one who filled the heart of Baba Nand Singh Ji
The one whose love inspires the Nihungs to fight save lakh se ik
The one whose bani enticed the mind of Sant Jarnail Singh Ji
The one who Bhai Randhir Singh ji called his sacha tek
The one who pulled 3ho on the path by sending wandering hearts his call
The source of all this greatness Amazingly Was always there sitting right in front of me
He was the ocean and the source of it all
All the saints came from Guru Granth Sahib Ji
The love was with all there in the bani of all the Gurus and so was the strength
Even though my dastar is not always gol I could still stand for justice like taksal
I could still do simran with each breath like Akj and wear a keski of any length
I could wear a chola like 3ho and fight to defend my kaum with the dal
I relized that this was the truth the teachings of the saints
They wanted Guru jis love thats it !They did not want a wakhree kaum
It doesn’t matter what one calls themself nor does dressing in various turban colors styles and taints
What is the use if you still havent found your home
The Saints are all one with the shabad all perfect and unflawed
And they all want us to follow that way as well
For it is love and compassion that lead to God
And pakhandi rituals pave the way to hell
So with the grace of the saints lets unite in the shelter of our true jatha
The Khalsa panth jathedhar Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharajjjjj
Lets give him our hearts our souls and let him give us the naam with his hand upon our matha
We are his He is ours and that’s the truth of the Khalsa Fauj
