The Prayogs were initiated in 1906. Their purpose is to get together in the form of ‘sangat’ and meditate the name of GOD (ie jap of naam) in the longing of Darshan (appearance) of Satguru Ram Singh ji. Hundreds of paths of chandi-de-var, aad Granth Sahib, sardaran and other paaths are done by the sangat world over. The bhogs of these paaths take place at the end of the prayogs. The prayogs start with all the sangat having amrit on the first day. Many persons abstain from the usual pleasures of life and devote their time to meditation, reciting gurbani, kirtan, paaths and general seva. A few kept sodh too. (sooch sodh is the practice of ablution and purification to lead a puritan way of life). During this auspicious month events are organized to encourage the sangat and especially the children to follow the tenants of Sikhism. Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji emphasised the importance of the early morning naam-simran in the sangat.

DAY 05 – 17 Sept 2015 Prashad & Langar Seva: Kulwant K Virdee

Thought of the day: In todays Satguru Jagjit Singh Jis updesh: ‘Refrain and keep away from bad sangat and realise what’s good and what’s bad’.

Shared by Ajeet Singh Anjan, quoting from Adi Guru Granth Sahib: In Raag Malar by Guru Ram Das says:
ਜੋ ਗੁਰ ਕਉ ਜਨੁ ਪੂਜੇ ਸੇਵੇ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵੈ ॥
ਹਰਿ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਆਪਿ ਤਰਾਵੈ ॥੨॥
ਭਰਮਿ ਭੂਲੇ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਅੰਧੁਲੇ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਫੂਲ ਤੋਰਾਵੈ ॥
ਨਿਰਜੀਉ ਪੂਜਹਿ ਮੜਾ ਸਰੇਵਹਿ ਸਭ ਬਿਰਥੀ ਘਾਲ ਗਵਾਵੈ ॥੩॥
ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬਿੰਦੇ ਸੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਕਹੀਐ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਥਾ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ॥
Jo Gur Ko Jan Poojae Saevae So Jan Maerae Har Prabh Bhaavai ||
Har Kee Saevaa Sathigur Poojahu Kar Kirapaa Aap Tharaavai ||2||
Bharam Bhoolae Agiaanee Andhhulae Bhram Bhram Fool Thoraavai ||
Nirajeeo Poojehi Marraa Saraevehi Sabh Birathhee Ghaal Gavaavai ||3||
Breham Bindhae So Sathigur Keheeai Har Har Kathhaa Sunaavai ||

That humble being who worships, adores and serves the Guru is pleasing to my Lord God. To worship and adore the True Guru is to serve the Lord. In His Mercy, He saves us and carries us across. ||2|| The ignorant and the blind wander deluded by doubt; deluded and confused, they pick flowers to offer to their idols. They worship lifeless stones and serve the tombs of the dead; all their efforts are useless. ||3|| He alone is said to be the True Guru, who realizes God, and proclaims the Sermon of the Lord.

DAY 06 – 18 Sept 2015 Prashad & Langar Seva: Sooba Kuldip Singh Chana & family


DAY 07 – 19 Sept 2015 Prashad & Langar Seva: Sant Kuldeep S Ryatt & family

Thought of the day: Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji quotes Guru Amar Das Ji’s bani how salvation is obtainable if by Guru’s Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind:

ਰਾਮ ਰਾਮ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਕਹੈ ਕਹਿਐ ਰਾਮੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਰਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਤਾ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਕੋਇ ॥੧॥
Raam Raam Sabh Ko Kehai Kehiai Raam N Hoe ||
Gur Parasaadhee Raam Man Vasai Thaa Fal Paavai Koe

Everyone chants the Lord’s Name, Raam, Raam; but by such chanting, the Lord is not obtained.
By Guru’s Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind, and then, the fruits are obtained.
