(Recorded in 1984)
Related Keertan from Bachittar Natak
Urging the Sikhs, particularly the youth, to prepare for 'Dharam Yudh' (struggle for righteousness) after the attack on Sri Harimandir Sahib in 1984, Darshan Singh Ragi performs keertan and katha of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's 'Apni Katha' from Bachittar Natak. Darshan Singh explains the meaning of 'Dharam' by quoting from Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's bani. He explains how Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's bani makes one a complete 'Sant Sipahi' and prepares him for 'Dharam Yudh'.
ਹਮ ਇਹ ਕਾਜ ਜਗਤ ਮੋ ਆਏ ॥ ਧਰਮ ਹੇਤ ਗੁਰਦੇਵਿ ਪਠਾਏ ॥
I have been sent into this world by the Preceptor-Lord to propagate Dharma (righteousness).
ਜਹਾਂ ਤਹਾਂ ਤੁਮ ਧਰਮ ਬਿਥਾਰੋ ॥ ਦੁਸਟ ਦੋਖੀਅਨਿ ਪਕਰਿ ਪਛਾਰੋ ॥੪੨॥
The Lord asked me to spread Dharma, and vanquish the tyrants and evil-minded persons. 42.
ਯਾਹੀ ਕਾਜ ਧਰਾ ਹਮ ਜਨਮੰ ॥ ਸਮਝ ਲੇਹੁ ਸਾਧੂ ਸਭ ਮਨਮੰ ॥
I have taken birth of this purpose, the saints should comprehend this in their minds.
ਧਰਮ ਚਲਾਵਨ ਸੰਤ ਉਬਾਰਨ ॥ ਦੁਸਟ ਸਭਨ ਕੋ ਮੂਲ ਉਪਾਰਨ ॥੪੩॥
(I have been born) to spread Dharma, and protect saints, and root out tyranny. 43.

ਪੜਿਆ ਹੋਵੈ ਗੁਨਹਗਾਰੁ ਤਾ ਓਮੀ ਸਾਧੁ ਨ ਮਾਰੀਐ ॥ 'Prof' Darshan Singh Ragi was excommunicated from the Sikh Panth in January 2010 for his blasphemous remarks on the life of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Throughout his career, first as a 'Ragi' and later the 'Jathedar', Darshan Singh had performed keertan and katha from the bani of Dasam Pita. During the turbulent years following Operation Bluestar in 1984, Darshan Singh regularly performed keertan from the 'Beer Ras' Bani enshrined in Sri Dasam Granth and incited the Sikh youth to take up resistance. However, two decades later, Darshan Singh changed his faith. He not only started opposing the bani of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, but also used derogatory language for the same bani he once performed keertan and katha of. Till date the turncoat Ragi has not explained to the panth why and how he decided to choose the path of a 'Guru Dokhi'. In one of his loose arguments justifying his latest stance he said that earlier when he used to do the keertan of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's bani he did not understand the meaning of the bani, and was only doing the keertan as "any other Ragi", relying only on Amrit Keertan pothi. However, this lie and an absurd excuse is soon exposed when one listens to his earlier recordings where he not only performs keertan but very articulately also does the katha of the bani in the light of Gurmat. It is quite clear that Darshan Singh was well versed with the actual content and purpose of bani contained in Sri Dasam Granth, which he now shamelessly denies. Now what really has transpired between the turncoat Ragi and his intellect that lead to his own downfall and his ultimate exit from the Sikh fold is anyone's guess. Darshan Singh has been shown the door by the panth. And as expected from the renegade Ragi, he still continues to create confusion. The panth needs to be vigilant and have the relevant information at their disposal. And this is a similar attempt. Related Keertan by Ragi from the bani of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib: |
