He went to Anandpur on the Vaisakhi of 1700 A.D., where after obtaining baptism (into Sikhi) he started learning weaponry and riding from the Sikhs. He began learning reading and writing Gurmukhi and interpretation of Guru’s word from Bhai Mani Singh Ji.

Sewa: After spending couple of years at the Guru’s institution, he returned to? his village in 1702 A.D. got married and started living there. He then went to Guru Gobind Singh Ji at Talwandi Sabo in 1705 AD where he helped Bhai Mani Singh Ji in making copies of Guru Granth sahib.

After, Guru Sahib left for Delhi, he took up the service of looking after Gurudwara Damdama Sahib.

Joining the Army: In 1709 A.D., he joined Baba Banda Singh Bahadur in chastising the tyrants of Sadhaura and Sirhind. in 1733 A.D. he was appointed as a leader of one of the squad by Nawab Kapoor Singh Singhpuria. On Vaisakhi day of 1748 A.D., when Dal Khalsa was reorganized into twelve misls, he was entrusted with the leadership of Shaheedan Misl.

Storming of Golden Temple: In April 1757 A.D., when Abdali during his fourth invasion was returning to Kabul from Delhi with precious booty and young men and women as captives, Singhs made a plan to rob him of the valuables and set the prisoners free. The squad of Baba Deep singh was deployed near Kurukshetra. His squad freed large number of prisoners and lightened the burden of valuables of Abdali considerably. While departing from Lahore, Abdali appointed his son Taimur Shah, the Governor of Lahore and told him, “Try to finish them (Sikhs)?. In accordance with his orders Taimur Shah started demolishing Gurudwara?s and filling the holy pools with debris.

Restoring the sikh pride: When Baba Deep singh came to know of the demolition of Harminder Sahib, he narrated it to the congregation of Damdama Sahib and said, “Diwali will be celebrated at Amritsar this year.” Five hundred Singhs came forward to go with him. Baba Deep Singh offered prayers before starting for Amritsar, “My head may fall at Harminder Sahib.” By the time squad reached Taran Tarn the number of Singhs going with Baba Deep singh reached approximately Five thousand.

As the news of the approach of Singhs spread, the Governor of Lahore sent his general with an army of Twenty thousand(20,000) to face them. His army took up positions Six miles north of Amritsar and waited for the Singhs there. Both the armies clashed near Gohalwar on the 11th November, 1757 A.D. Fighting bravely Singhs pushed the army back and reached village Chabba where General Attal Khan came forward and inflicted a blow on Baba Deep Singh ji which made his neck lean to one side.

A Sikh reminded him, “You had resolved to reach the periphery of the pool.” On hearing the talk of the Sikh, Baba Deep Singh ji did unfathomable task. With Guru’s Grace he took his head in his left and double-edged sword in the right hand, removing the enemies from his way with the strokes of his , reached the periphery of Harmindar Sahib where he breathed his last. There was a chaos in the rival amr and when they saw this miracle of a Gursikh many afghanis are said to have left the battlefield.

Wallpaper depiciting the importance of female to the society as a daughter, sister or mother

Sikhi preaches equality of both men a women in society. All Sikh Gurus preach equality of men and women in society.

But it is surprising to see the imbalance in the sex ratio in Punjab and as a matter of fact in whole of India where couples seek a male child.

All of these people unfortunately commit a serious crime by killing girl child before even they are born. Those committing female foeticide, however forget that they were also born from a woman.

Sikh Sangat fear another arson attack on Blackburn Gurdwara in Melbourne

The president of Melbourne’s largest Sikh Gurdwara has requested additional night-time security from Victoria Police fearing another untoward incident after another Melbourne gurdwara was torched last week. The president said that we feel safe for the moment but are fearful of the future of another arson attack.

He said local police were working with the Gurdwara and Indian community on strategies to keep themselves, their possessions and property safe. Indian High Commissioner Sujatha Singh also visited the Blackburn Gurdwara last Sunday to urge followers to remain calm and let authorities handle the burning of the Lynbrook Gurdwara.

End Domestic Violence Vote on Facebook to build Culturally Diverse Women’s Centers and Domestic Violence Shelters

The Issue : Violence does not discriminate. Every 9 seconds a woman – regardless of race, class, or academic achievement – is battered in the US. 1 in every 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime and 1.3 million women experience it every year. Most cases go unreported due to fear – fear of being alone, fear of further violence, and/or fear for the children’s safety. The Jakara Movement hopes to be a part of the solution to domestic violence.

With government funding dwindling and violence against women on the rise, now more than ever is the time for action.

The Jakara Movement will create culturally diverse Women’s Centers with domestic violence shelters, open to all women and children. These centers differ due to their special sensitivity for minority, marginalized and rural women. Language or culture should never stand as a barrier between a battered woman and help. To establish such centers and give abused women the support they need the Jakara Movement seeks your vote on Facebook in Chase Charity Giving.

The Plan

The Jakara Movement’s Big Idea is to create culturally diverse Women’s Centers for underserved communities. Centers provide shelter for those in domestic violence situations and a transition home for those seeking a safe space to create change.

$1MM allows us to create the structures and provide a place of safety, while engaging with the families through support, counseling, and legal services. New beginnings are possible. Culturally diverse Women’s Centers provide the place.

With hundreds of active volunteers in California, especially on issues connected to diverse immigrant cultures, the Jakara Movement has the innovativeness and expertise to serve families in the community. The $1MM will give the right people the right resources to create the right space.

As families struggle with the loss of jobs, family conflicts have increased as have cases of domestic violence. By voting for the Jakara Movement, you will make sure that a safe place is ensured in undeserved communities.

The Outcome

Within a year of receiving funding, you will have made the first new culturally diverse Women’s Center in California a reality. The Center is a community safe place and critical to empower families in need. It is a hub for exploring innovative solutions to social problems.

From helping those in need to community engagement and education, the Center comprehensively combats domestic violence. The Center’s mission statement includes providing support, counsel, and legal advice as well as a holistic view of prevention through educational camps for young men and women.

Creating a Women’s Center serves communities and women, especially those marginalized due to linguistic and cultural barriers. New solutions are possible with your vote. The $1MM will be transformative for local communities. Within one year local statistics will fall and for those in violent situations, a safe and secure place is ensured. You will make this the first Center a reality by voting for the Jakara Movement.
