Gobind Sadan - 22 - Power of Naam -part 01 ( ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
Everybody goes to religious places but they restrict themselves to bowing only. Like Guru Nanak Dev Maharaj ji said came and said what have I brought for you all? He said “Nanak de ghar keval NAM, Kalu aya NAM Bowo” (meaning – There is only and only one thing in Nanak’s house and that is NAM, Kalyug has come so sow the seed of NAM.
Guru Nanak Maharaj ji further explained or elaborated that if you recite NAM in this Kalyug, then what will happen? Actually the NAM is the only diet for Mind. Then Maharj Guru Nanak Dev ji said, “Man da dhosa har NAM hai, hriday rakho sambhal, why because “oh sada akuth hai”. Guru Nanak Maharaj ji said that when NAM is recited, then what happens is that our Mann, Mann means our thought and this word comes in Gurubani many times Example: “Mann Jeetai jag jeet” (If you conquer your Mann, you have conquered the whole universe), “Hai Mann meeraya tu sada raho har nalee” (Oh my mind, may you always stay focused on Hari/GOD).
Mann means khayal i.e. thought, and thought can be a loving thought, it can be a egoistic thought, it may also be a thought full of hatred, a thought that can lead you to do crime or some thought that may bring the feeling of doing service i.e. sewa.

Some though may motivate you to do meditation; other thought may convince you to believe that there is no GOD. So thats why, even when Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj ji came to the earth or in human form, the very first thing he explained was that “Aaat tapasaya sadhee” meaning I meditated for so long that “Mahakal kalkan radhee”. Mahakal is the one that is beyond birth and death, beyond time, beyond season. Maharaj Guru Gobind Singh ji explained that when he meditated on Paramatma/GOD, then what happened? “Dwaait ton eek ruup ho gaye”, what is Dwaait? Dawaait means two, in this context, it means GOD is separate and I am separate. Guru Nanak Dev Maharaj ji said, “Jyot rakhee tann tu jaag main aaya” (meaning: The GOD placed your Jyot first and only then you were able to come to this world or were born). We have to recognise or search for that Jyot. We shall recognise that Dharam/religion, we shall also develope such thought.
Now, when we start reciting NAM, then what will happen? As Guru Nanak Dev Ji explains, that “Mann tu jyot svaroop hann, aapna ruup pashan/pahchan” (meaning: that Oh my Mann, you are a Jyot so recognise yourself).
Once we recognise our MUUL or that Jyot i.e. our real self, then what will happen? The same will happen, as it happened with NAM Dev. Once Nam Dev was sitting in meditation, as he recognised that Jyot, he looked at the tree and said “Saab Gobind Hai” (all is Gobind/GOD, Gobind is everywhere). He looked at the earth and said the same i.e. “SAB Gobind Hai” - meaning (Gobind/GOD is everywhere).
He looked at the trees and again said “there is Gobind/God in trees. When he looked at the whole universe, again he said “Saab Gobind Hai”, but all this was when and only when he recognised that Jyot and became one with that GOD.
Similarly, when Kabir Sahib was also sitting in meditation and while reciting NAM, the MUUL/Jyot, to which Guru Nanak Dev ji had said that “Mann tu jyot saroop hann aapna ruup pshaan”. Muul means that we have Brahm/universe, we also have knowledge/wisdom inside, the GODS light and blessings inside too. All this is sitting inside us.

Ninth Sikh Guru (Shri Guru Tej Bahadur ji) also said the same i.e. “Kya ban khogan gayee, ghat is khojo phayee”, meaning – what for do you go to the forests? Search inside yourself).

The real thing is that the recitation of NAM, a lot of powers start to flow or come. When one starts to recite NAM, Bani even said to such extent that “Nam ke dharee saglee jant, Nam kee dharee Gas patal, Nam kee dharee khand brahmand” meaning – The whole universe is standing on NAM, world is standing on Nam, it’s the Nam due to which we are alive and being able to walk.
Nam is said to be everything. Why are we nowadays away from Nam, besides going to Gurudawara, Mandir, masjid. Neither anger leaves him, Greed does not leave him and attachment does not leave him either because he does not do anything except bowing.
The man does not mediate or go by Hukam. One thing to get straight in your head is that until we have that knowledge of self realisation, we can never obey the Hukam/order, why because obeying Hukam is also Gyan/knowledge.
Only those obey the hukam i.e. “Satt bachan”, on whome the GOD showers his grace and he meditates and obeys the order.
There are proofs of the above said too. Example: Millions of people use to recite RAM, at that time when Sant Kabir came on the earth but Kabir Ji use to obey the Hukam/order too.

With Kabir obeying the Hukam, Ram and Kabir became one.
Nam dev use to recite Gobind Gobind Gobind and while reciting, Gobind showed himself in everything but to Nam Dev not to everyone. Our history, our knowledge and the world today is challenging us, like today these words like Sant, Bhagat, Rishi, Darvesh, Muni are all words of wisdom. In old days (In this context being referred to Satyug), Muni was the one who becomes Bramhgayani i.e. one who had attained that self realisation.
Rishis were also Baramhgayani, but the difference between the two was that Muni does not use to get married all life whereas the Rishies use to get married but they were both Bramhgayanis.
Then in kalyug (today’s generation), the name of Sant/sage/saint came up and that to means the same i.e. Bramhgayan.
In reality, and as mentioned in Gurubani, who is sant?, The one who is liked by RAM. Only that person is a true Sant, who becomes one with RAM, and that light of RAM manifests in him.
Then Maharaj guru Nanak Dev Ji thought that anyone may say that RAM/GOD is happy with me because I love him so much. To this Maharaj ji said that the true person with who RAM is happy will be the one whose actions are in accordance to Hukam, quoted in gurbani as “ Sant and Gobind ke eeeko kam” meaning, the actions of RAM/Gobind/GOD will be same as Sant i.e. saint. The saint will, for example have the following qualities in him: Tyag/detachment, he will be Kirti/Hardworking, Love, Free/away from Greed, Free from ego, he will be fearless and Nirwair (without enemy).
Today everyone needs to recite NAM, why because our Mann is very hungry. Human being does the best of their effort to attain food and good health for the physical body.

Similarly, today our Mann is very hungry, its sick, why because it’s just running around without target. Bani says “Mann da thosa Har Nam hai” meaning, the food for Mann is only Nam and not this other food. Our body will get strong with the food, our muscles will build well and our health will be good with the food we eat but with Nam.........continued in part 2

Gobind Sadan December Program 2011

Who is Baba Virsa Singh ji

Baba Virsa Singh Ji (Babaji) is considered a holy person of biblical proportions.
Since his youth, Babaji has been recognized for his powerful spirituality.

Babaji was raised in Sarawan Bodla, Punjab, India in a mud brick village.
As a youth he helped on the family’s farm until one day he was overcome
by the guilt of having caused harm to the plants he was cutting. Babaji
felt he had committed a great sin and prayed to be released from that duty.
As he prayed, painful sores began appearing on his feet rendering him unable
to stand and work. From that day on, Baba Virsa Singh Ji began meditating
under the tree known as Ber Sahib.

The followers of Babaji believe he was blessed with a vision of Baba Siri
Chand (also spelled Baba Sri Chand), the eldest son of the first Sikh Guru,
Guru Nanak. Baba Virsa Singh Ji was also reportedly given instructions through
vision by the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. The boy became recognized for
his spiritual and healing capabilities by villagers in the area. Many people
are said to have been miraculously healed at the hands of Babaji.


Babaji then moved from place to place preaching Guru Nanak's basic spiritual
program--hard work, sharing with others, and remembrance of God--and reminding
people of the eternal truths of religion, beyond any sectarian divisions.
Baba Virsa Singh Ji also began developing flourishing farms and spiritual
communities in previously harsh and barren environments. Though the largest
of such farms is known as Shiv Sadan, on the shores of Ganges in Uttar Pradesh,
the most well-known community is Gobind Sadan in Delhi, India.



Though Babaji never received any formal education, scholars have sought his
guidance and knowledge on many topics. Government officials, religious leaders,
scientists, businesspeople, and the hardworking poor also seek Babaji’s
guidance and blessings. Though he makes no claims of being a Guru, Baba Virsa Singh
Ji models all of his practical teachings after those of the Sikh Gurus,
as well as those of prophets of all religions. He stresses that religious divisions
are the creations of humans and not of God or God’s prophets. To emphasize
appreciation of all prophets, he celebrates their birthdays on a large and
joyful scale at Gobind Sadan.

Draw Energy From The Power of Naam - Baba Virsa Singh ji

Draw Energy From The Power of Name

Reciting the name of God, Naam , is a way of thanking and praising the Nami who is the omnipresent and timeless creator. When you recite Naam and love God without any motive, He cleanses your mind. There is light in your heart, and the Naam heals your mind, eliminating all negative thoughts; only positive thoughts remain. The hidden joy, love and fearlessness within you will become manifest. It is not that God wants our praise. The effect on Naam works on us. our body is just a house where we live. Our life is governed by our Karmas, the effects on our life of our sanskars, our habitual thoughts and actions from this life and from previous births. Our Karmas are like great waves that are not under our control. Naam breaks those waves.

As you recite Naam when you are worrying – through word, thought and every breath – those waves start to break up here and there. As you recite Naam there is a small break in that train of thoughts. You feel, “It will be okay”. But at this stage you are still reciting Naam only with your tongue. Your thoughts and your awareness are not on Naam, and soon your mind returns to its old pattern.

As you go on reciting Naam, you will experience a little light inside, a brief moment of Samadhi, a kind of spiritual absorption. But then mind starts running away again at great speed, and the little bit of light you perceived ‘disappears’. Then a longing for God may begin to grow in you, although it is very faint at first. As you are singing or reciting Naam, you may experience a brief communion with the Nami.

To become close to God, focus on your mind on your Isht or that form of God in whom you have Faith. At first, your Isht may seem just a faint image in your mind, but gradually its presence becomes a reality. Slowly that power gives your mind confidence and you begin loving that Isht you are trying to focus your attention on. It takes a long time but gradually you will feel the presence of your Isht within you.

Once you feel your Isht inside you, through the power of Naam, you will begin to see that your Ishtis actually controlling everything outside you as well. You will see your Isht is pervading everywhere nad everything.

As you keep reciting Naam, whenever you begin to feel anger, greed or ego, the feeling does not last long. It moves aside. Why? Naam is washing away the dirt of your past tendencies; the light of divine wisdom is burning up your past actions. Gradually, you cease to feel anger or greed and you feel that you are nothing great. You become very humble.

All ignorance ceases as light of Naam manifests fully. If you reach this stage of enlightenment through continual recitation of Naam and concentration on the Nami, you will see only God everywhere. Like God, you will feel neither enmity nor fear. You will recognize that the Nami is sustaining and controlling all life. Naam will make your actions bright and will give you clear inner vision, truthfulness, renunciation, the desire to help those in need, and the power to do anything, for the power of the Nami has manifest in you.

Who is Baba Siri Chand ji

Baba Siri Chand ji - the great mustic saint and elder son of Guru Nanak Dev ji. His life spanned the 149 years from 1494 to 1943. The Emperor once asked his Fakir, Syed Mia Mir, " As I am the Emperor over all of India, who is the greatest spiritual king amongst you all"? Mia Mir Replied, "Guru Nanak's elder son, King of all Fakirs." the Census conducted at the time of Shah Jahan showed that Baba Sri Chand ji had the greatest following throughout his entire kingdom.

While the Guru Gaddi was passed to Guru Angad Dev ji, Baba Siri Chand ji accepted his responsibility from his father and Guru of uniting the various spiritual schools of India. He was revered by Muslims and Hindus, ascetics and householders alike. He carried Guru Nanak Dev ji's message throughout the subcontinent from Sindh to Srinagar and from Kandhar to Kabul.


Baba Ji was held in great esteem by the ensuing 5 sikhs Gurus. Guru Amar Das ji offered Baba Mohan ji, who is the best known as the custodian of Guru's pothis (hand written verses) from which Guru Arjun Dev ji compiled Guru Granth Sahib. And Guru Hargobind Sahib offered Baba gurditta, who became Babaji's successor and is regarded as the patriarch of the Udasi Samperdai. Interestingly Baba Gurditta ji was father of Guru Har Rai ji, grandfather of Guru Harkrishan ji, the elder brother of Guru Tegh Bahadur and the uncle of Guru Gobind Singh ji......
