The Golden Temple which houses The Guru Granth Sahib which is venerated and worshipped by scores of devotees, was first designed and built by Him. This itself should illustrate His spiritual wisdom, the depth of His heart, the Oneness of His Soul and the humility of His very Being. Thus Guru Arjan included in the Holy Book not only words of His Predecessors but also of other spiritual Giants irrespective of caste, creed, religion and profession. Then you had Saints like Ramanand, Trilochan and Surdas who were Brahmins and Saint Pipa belonged to the royal class. Saint Dhanna was a farmer and Saint Namdev was a tailor, while Saint Sadhana was a butcher and Saint Ravidas, a shoemaker, while Saint Sain was a barber. Saint Kabir, belonged to no religion and was a weaver by profession. Five Holy Ones whose words are in the Holy book, namely Farid, Mardana, Bhikan, Satta and Balwand professed the faith of Islam. Thus, the Guru Granth Sahib has the Words of the GuruвЂ™s of Sikhism, starting from Guru Nanak, to the Words of Sages and Sufis. Like His illustrious Predecessors, He made sure that the Holy Book had writings and philosophies of other spiritual Giants, irrespective of which religion They belonged to, for the simple fact is that we do not belong to any religion, we belong to The One, who has no religion, and if S(H)e had a religion it would be the religion of Oneness. But the best part is that out of nearly six thousand hymns in The Holy Book, nearly two thousand two hundred and more came from the heart andВ SoulВ of Guru Arjan Dev. He was not only a poet, but The Holy Guru Granth Sahib came about due to His need to make sure that the true words of The GuruвЂ™s before Him and the Sages and Sufis in praise of The One, reached scores of believers. The Sikh community has a lot to be grateful to Guru Arjan Dev who is considered to be One of the most loveable Gurus, due to His simple, loving and calm temperament.

He was a fascinating human being and a phenomenal Guru. Thus, He is the first Guru who allowed Himself to be Martyred in The Name of God and His principles. So, He was mercilessly tortured for three days and nights. Thus, He willingly, just like The Son of God, allowed Himself to be tortured by maggots in the form of human beings, and brutally murdered.ДЄs for altering a word in The Guru Granth Sahib, He made it clear that only The Almighty God, was truly worthy of praise and that He would alter not a word. вЂњSuch is the will of My God accept it,вЂќ and He added, вЂњMove not stand calm in your injury.вЂќ He refused to use His influence or HisВ spiritualВ powers to protect Himself. His followers were willing to pay the money or make the opposition pay with their lives but He made sure not one Sikh removed a sword to protect Him. He was clear that by paying the cash fine, which was a normal form of punishment for criminals, by force He would have to admit that He had wronged and thus to escape death agree to be called a criminal, which He wasnвЂ™t, thus there was no question of Him agreeing to pay any fine. Guru Arjan Dev very willingly allowed Himself to be tortured and killed but refused to pay a fine of rupees two lakh or alter a word in The Guru Granth Sahib (The Holy Book of Sikhs). All treasures, O Nanak, are by LordвЂ™s Blessing. Remembrance of God, in the Company of Saints. Remembering God, you donвЂ™t suffer with sorrow. Remembering God, night and day youвЂ™re fully awake. Remembering God, your enemies are repelled. Remembering God, the fear of death is dispelled. Meditate, meditate, meditate peace is obtained, Worry and anguish is expelled from the body. Baba had asked them to buy a cd or a tape and play the Path and sit silently while the Prayer went on and then distribute the offered water or food as Holy Water or Bhog (food offered first to The Big Boss) amongst the family members. Once a Sikh family had come for channeling and when told to pray the Sukhmani Sahib, they said it took over an hour and they werenвЂ™t well versed with the Prayer. The Sukhmani Sahib is the Prayer for Peace and Guru Arjan Dev who wrote this prayer and song of peace was mercilessly tortured to death. The Sukhmani Sahib was penned down by the fifth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Arjan Dev. According to Baba Sai, this Prayer is a must for all those who follow theВ FaithВ of Baba Nanak and The GuruвЂ™s of Sikhism.ДЇrom bringing peace into their lives, to praying for the wellbeing of the ancestors, to protecting oneself from negativity, lower energies, jealously and dark forces, Baba Sai has recommended the praying of the Sukhmani Path Baba Sai of Shirdi, has often told numerous Sikh families who come for BabaвЂ™s Guidance to Pray The Sukhmani Path or Sukhmani Sahib.
