"Narewal" refers to a specific community or group within the Jatt caste, primarily found in regions of Punjab, India, and Pakistan. Jatts are traditionally agriculturalists, and the term "Narewal" may denote a particular lineage or sub-group within this broader caste. Like many communities, Narewal Jatts have their own unique customs and traditions, contributing to the rich cultural diversity of the Jatt community.
"Guru" is a Sanskrit word which means "one who eliminates the dark". When we say "dark", we must understand what darkness is, how it prevails and what is its source. Before understanding darkness, we must understand light. Because a simple answer to "what is darkness?" is "absence of light is darkness". But the light we are referring here is not the light we see like sunlight or a bulb's lights. Otherwise every electrician in the town would have been the "Guru". The light we are talking here is the "light of knowledge." So a Guru is one who has the capability of extinguishing the darkness of ignorance with the light of knowledge. So, the one line answer to "What does a Guru do" is "A Guru illuminates our lives with knowledge". However, the answer to the question does not end here. Because, a true Guru is the one who has the capability of spreading the light of true knowledge. Now what is this true knowledge? According to Vedas only one thing is true in this creation and that is God. Other than God everything else is covered by illusion of Maya. So, we can say that darkness is Maya. Darkness is to be deprived from God. Darkness is the absence of God. The following equation can make it simpler: When, God=Light and, absence of light=Darkness thus, Darkness=absence of God. So naturally, a Guru is someone who has the presence of God in him, who has realized God himself, who is the light himself. Thus, Vedas further says a true Guru is the one who is a practical plus a theoretical man. Understand this way, if we want to cook Pasta what would we do? Get a cook book or catch someone who can cook Pasta. Getting a "101 ways to kill your Boss" or any other book will not help you cook Pasta and similarly bringing home a shoemaker or Britney Spears (I bet she cannot cook Pasta) or any other superstar who does not know what Pasta is, will also not help. It is very clear that you need someone who knows how to cook Pasta to teach you so. And only getting the cook or a guide will also not help. The cook book or the guide could be the world best but if you don't cook it practically, you will still be starving. Similarly, to attain the true light (God) we must get a person who can teach you how to attain God theoretically and also motivate you to work practically to attain God. Because, we cannot attain God just by sitting there and reading or writing this article. We need to get up, search the true God realized Guru, surrender to him, work as he instructs and then only we will attain true light, then only the darkness of ignorance will eliminate.
What is the story of baisakhi?
Vaisakhi is a religious holiday Sikhs celebrate. On that day, April 13, 1699, our tenth beloved guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, gave amrit, divine nectar that Sikhs are baptised with, to the Five Beloved Ones, the first five people to give up their life to the guru. After that, guru ji took amrit from the Five Beloved Ones. This had taken place in Anadpur Sahib, India. However, if you want to know how this happened in detail, keep reading.
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji went to Anandpur Sahib and invited all Sikhs there. It was harvest season. He went up a stage and asked for one head. Many people got shocked and left. Some went to his mother Mata Gujri Ji and told her that her son was asking for one head, and that they thought he was out of his mind. However, his mother said that she knew what he was doing and it was going to be okay. After some more requests, a person named Daya Ram stood up and said, "I am ready to give my head to my guru." The guru took him inside a tent and then everyone heard a slash! Most of them got frightened. Then the guru came out with a bloody sword. This had happened four more times and with Dharam Das, Himmat Rai, Mokham Chand, and Sahib Chand. Each time people got more and more frightened, and each time his sword got even bloodier. Finally, when he was done, he came out and called out the five people. They all came out wearing beautiful saffron robes and turbans. The guru baptised them, and was then baptised himself by them. He then named them the Five Beloved Ones. That motivated the crowd to take amrit on that same day. Guru Gobind Singh Ji added Singh to the names of the men, meaning Lion. He added Kaur to the women's names, meaning princess.
What does the Guru Granth Sahib say about Women?
Concerning women, Guru Nanak has said, 'It is through woman that order is maintained. Then why call her inferior from whom all great ones are born.' Guru Granth Sahib, Pg. 473. The Gurus went further. They used the Woman symbolically in the Bani to represent the disciple. Read what the Guru Granth Sahib says.
I think it is a Punjabi Khatri (Kshatriya) last name. I am unaware of any Jatts with that name, but a list of Khatri last names where "Phull" appears can be found at the related link below.
Also, ancient Hinduism classifies Jatts as Kshatriyas, in a warrior ruling class sense (Chandravanshi), so they could be related some how. Of course, they both come from Punjab
Phull are ramgarhia Sikhs
Sewa is important because it's a celebration to Sikhs and has been ever since the Guru's Sikhs have shown their faith by their service to other people. (I ain't Sikh but I'm learning it in R.s I'm smart :v)
I would say Guru Nanak is the first to give Sikhism its militant aspect. I say this because he was never afraid to speak the truth. He told emperor Babar he was a tyrant and told many other truths to people as well. Sometimes people did not like the truths he told and wanted him dead. He did not take up arms. The sixth Sikh Guru is the first Sikh Guru who actually organized Sikh armies and fought battles. Guru Teg Bahadur, whose name means the brave swordsman also did fight in battle though he chose to die without taking up arms by protesting tyranny against religious freedom in a peaceful manner. Guru Gobind Singh also fought battles and organized Sikh armies. He is the one who also passed Guruship to the Guru Granth Sahib so we would not believe in any more human Gurus or religious teachers.
Why do all the Gurus have Ji at the end of it?
The 'Ji' at the end of a name is a sign of respect. All the Gurus have Shri at the front and Ji at the back as signs of respect.
Who is the living God of the Sikhs?
The Sikhs Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, passed on the Guruship to The Guru Granth Sahib Ji, or their Holy Scripture. Some people see their Scripture merely as a 'Book' but to a Sikh, The Guru Granth Sahib is considered as a Living Guru. Some people also see that although Sikhs do not believe in Idol worship, they think that worshiping to a 'Book' is contradictory. According to a Sikh, when the the Gurus passed the Guruship or Guru Gaddi to one-another over time, Guru Nanak Dev Ji came in the form of the next Gurus. Guru Nanak has come in the form of Guru Granth Sahib Ji or prayers/Gurbani. Sikhs believe in One God, some people call God as Allah, Ram and other names, but those names are all pointing to One God. Each religion doesn't have different Gods but it is the same God. Also there are ELEVEN Gurus of the Sikh faith and not only ten. Guru Granth sahib is the last Guru of the Sikhs for Eternity. P.S the Guru Granth Sahib is not only for Sikhs but for the rest of humanity. Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a Spiritual Guide for Humanity.
Who started the religion of silkism?
