Thanks to Dharmesh Parikh, Harvinderjit Singh Hans, Jiwan Singh, Banjot Singh Bajaj and also special thanks to Jaswinder Singh Sandhu from British Columbia, Vancouver for the encouragement and support.


This is the beautiful shabad by the tenth master, Guru Gobind Singh recited in the Machhivara forest when the Master was separated from everyone; not everyone because the connection to the Lord remain strong as always! The Shabad is present in Dasam Granth Sahib.

From Mukhaarbind of Guru Gobind Singh ji; this Shabad was sung by him on the night of the cold Winter when Guru Sahib jio had earlier in the day led the Khalsa forces in the battle of Chamkaur where Guru ji fought with the huge army of enemies of Khalsa Panth.His sons embraced martyrdom in front of his own eyes fighting for Khalsa ideals. Guru Sahib ji in this shabad yearns for remembrance of Waheguru inspite of hardships and tough times.
