  • #279 Greed Paves a Path to Hell | Sri Nanak Prakash Katha | Bhai Harman Singh
    Guru Nanak Dev Ji picks up pieces of broken clay pots. The local king says those won't help you here or hereafter. Guru Ji tells the king then all the money and sins you've committed out of greed will not help you hereafter either. We must gain our earnings from honest means. Guru Ji describes dojak (narak/hell) that the king is headed towards if he continues these sins. We must always remember death.
    "Sri Nanak Prakash is a detailed historical account of the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It was written by Mahakavi (great poet) Bhai Santokh Singh Ji in 1824 (AD), and represents one of the most comprehensive and beautifully written accounts of Guru Ji’s life. It is usually associated as a part of the greater text known as Sri Gurpartap Suraj Granth (aka Suraj Prakash) which details the historical accounts of all 10 Guru Sahibs in poetic form. It is an ocean of bliss, knowledge and experience. It is said that if one listen to the history of the lives of all 10 Gurus through these texts with complete devotion and faith, they can reach enlightenment.

  • #277 Ethical Ways of Making a Living | Sri Nanak Prakash Katha | Bhai Harman Singh
    Sometimes we rely on Guru Ji to forgive our sins and thus gives us justification to commit sins. But these thieves realized that it isn't worth doing sins in the first place, as the blessings from Guru Ji can be even more from then on. Guru Nanak Dev Ji tells the thieves to become farmers and positively contribute to the world. Next, Guru Ji goes to the country of Room, where there is a baadshaah.

  • #276 Guru Ji Enters the Town of Thieves | Sri Nanak Prakash Katha | Bhai Harman Singh
    Guru Nanak Dev Ji tells Bhai Mardana Ji that that place where Naam isn't present, that place is seen as wilderness - even though it may be filled with people and luxuries. They then enter a town in the middle of nowhere, filled with thieves. Guru Ji teaches the thieves a life lesson and Guru Ji turns Bhai Bala Ji into a 16 year old newly married-looking male covered in luxuries to attract the thieves and made Bhai Mardana Ji the personal Doom (musician).

    Where does our suffering come from? Bahuta Karam - Japji Sahib Podcast EP25
    Sometimes we get afraid of pain but it's a calling for us to do something! When the suffering is mental/emotional, it's a calling for us return to the One. This powerful episode is filled with gems of wisdom, as Bhai Baljit Singh & Bhai Jagmeet Singh discuss how by taking strength from Gurbani and the Shaheeds, what practical steps we can take when we feel defeated. There's an abundance of gifts in our life, and by opening our eyes to them, we can transform our mindset to gratitude and appreciation for the One who is the giver; if we live in this praise of the One, we can be on top of the world!
