Sitting infront of GuruSahib, Bhai Gopala Jee first contemplated on Sahib Sri Guru Nanak

Dev Sahib Jee’s name and then began to recite Sri JapJi Sahib Jee.

Upon hearing the beautiful Banee, Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee bowed down to the

Gurshabad Banee. Then Gurusahb proceeds to clasp his hands

and pay reverence to Bhai Gopala Jee.

One of GuruSahib Jee’s sikhs, Bhai Gopala Jee obtained shudh santhya from Guru Arjun Dev Sahib Jee himself. Bhai Sahib gets up and does Benti to Guru Hargobind Sahib Maharaj to give him the strength and blessing to recite Sri Jap Ji Sahib. Pleased, GuruSahib gave Bhai Gopala Jee a seat at the highest point of the congregation

GuruSahib looked to the sangat and did Benti to all his sikhs. He asked if there is any sikh who can recite Sri JapJi Sahib Jee correctly with all the characters and full focus.

Upon hearing the Banee, GuruSahib was overcome with euphoria. He was so

pleased with the way Bhai Gopala Jee was doing Banee that he thought to himself, what could I possibly give in return for

hearing Banee so beautifully? If I make him emperor of the world, thats temporal. What should be given to award such

beautiful recitation of Banee?

Bhai Gopala jee’s concentration was dissrupted and a though crossed his mind that Guruji would gift him a royal horse from GuruSahib’s stable. Understanding BhaiSahib’s sudden thought, GuruSahib gets up at the completion of JapJi Sahib and hugs Bhai Gopala Jee. Guru Sahib tells him that ‘I was about to give you Guru Nanak Dev Jee’s crown had you not asked for a horse

With full focus and concentration he recited Ik

Oankar w

ith correct pronunciation and characters. Then he continued in the sam

e m

anner with Satnam

With their heart full of love, Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee decided to give him the one kingdom that was eternal: Guru Nanak Dev Sahib Jee’s Throne. Guru Sahib moved one of his knees to get up from their throne and give the Gursikh their seat(

Upon the victory of the Second Hargobindpur battle, Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee had set up a congregation for the sangat and the fallen Shaeeds. After the w

ar Gurusahib’s state of mind w

as one of gratitude and calm

ness .

The importance of doing Shudh Banee

cannot be understated. If GuruSahib him

self was about to give his throne based

on the correct recitation of Bani, imagine

how m

uch significance reciting Shudh Banee holds. .

GuruSahib was so pleased that he gave Bhai

Sahib blessings after granting him the royal

horse. Bhai Sahib’s life was blessed and he

was free from

the birth and death cycle. He w

as liberated from all his sorrow

and pains in the physical and afterlife

Guru Sahib goes on further to say that any wishes that you may ever have will come to fruitation instantly.
