Chritar 3
The first part of Charitropakhyan is Chandi Charitar. This is the writing of Guru Gobind Singh describing the positive Charitars of Chandi (Vivek Budhi) and asking for blessing of Almighty before the rest of this bani is narrated. The second tale, Charitar 2 is the narration of the conversation between the The Wise Minister and Raja Chiter Singh. He has a long communication with his Minister on Charitropakhyan lasting for many days.
The First charitar ends with ਇਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਪਖ੍ਯਾਨੇ ਚੰਡੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਥਮ ਧ੍ਯਾਇ ਸਮਾਪਤਮ ਸਤੁ ਸੁਭਮ ਸਤੁ ॥੧॥੪੮॥ਅਫਜੂੰ॥ (iti sree charitr pakhyaanay chandee charitray pratham thhyaai samaapatam (ends)- satu subham satu ॥1॥48॥afjoon॥) which means "Here Sri Charitr-pakhyan's Chandi Charitar the first citation ends - true good and true".
All the other charitars end with ਇਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਪਖ੍ਯਾਨੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰੇ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੀ ਭੂਪ ਸੰਬਾਦੇ ਦੁਤਿਯ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਸਮਾਪਤਮ ਸਤੁ ਸੁਭਮ ਸਤੁ ॥੨॥੭੮॥ਅਫਜੂੰ॥ (iti sree charitr pakhyaanay triyaa charitray mantree (minister) bhoop (king) sanbaathay (between) thutiy charitr samaapatam (ends) - satu subham satu ॥2॥78॥afjoon॥) which means "Here Sri Charitr-pakhyan's Triyaa Charitar between Minister and King duality trickery ends - true good and true" This itself shows that these Charitars from number 2 onwards were the discourse between King Chitra Singh and his minister.
Charitar number 2 tells us how a foolish and quick decision which a person takes with their eyes closed, without analysing the situation and not going into the fact of reality; acting foolishly according to the words of their wives, girl-friends or other loved ones can lead to serious injustice and distortion of the truth. Guru Ram Das said such person is foolish -
ਜੋਰਾ ਦਾ ਆਖਿਆ ਪੁਰਖ ਕਮਾਵਦੇ ਸੇ ਅਪਵਿਤ ਅਮੇਧ ਖਲਾ ॥ ਕਾਮਿ ਵਿਆਪੇ ਕੁਸੁਧ ਨਰ ਸੇ ਜੋਰਾ ਪੁਛਿ ਚਲਾ ॥
Jorā ḏā ākẖi▫ā purakẖ kamāvḏe se apviṯ ameḏẖ kẖalā.Kām vi▫āpe kusuḏẖ nar se jorā pucẖẖ cẖalā.
Men who dance to the orders of overbearing women are impure, filthy and foolish.
Enslaved by lust, these impure men walk according to their women's wishes.

The Charitar - the TaleDohira
The Raja then put the son in the prison and early the next morning he called him over.(1) (Then his Minister commenced narrating thus:)
There lived a girl in a town. She had two lovers; one was thin and lean, and the other was a fat one.(2)
She was very pretty and possessed the eyes like of an antelope. She had full consciousness of understanding the highs and lows of the life.(3)
Chaupaee
She used to live in the town of Kalpi and indulged in all sorts of love makings. That, with the eyes of a deer, and with her exquisiteness, she made the Moon to feel shy.(4)
Dohira
Her fat lover was old but the other, the young one, was slender. Day in and day out she kept on making love with them.(5)
A young female is captivated by a young man and the old man is enchanted by an old woman; and the whole world knows this custom.(6)
The lady always enjoyed making love with the slender person but hesitated to go near the fat one. She always repented after making love with the old one.(7)
Once when she was passionately involved with the young man, the fat lover came back and knocked at the door of the lady.(8)
She suggested to the young lover to break the door and run as some sinner had come and would tie them both.(9)
She had made the thin friend to acquiesce to her request. And she hastily got up and stood before the old man.(10)
While getting up in haste the drops of semen fell on the floor, which were noticed by the fat-lover, and he asked woman to disclose the mystery.(11)
She informed, ‘On the sight of your handsome face, I could not control myself. As a result of this, semen (from my body) dripped down.’(12)
That fool, with animal instinct, was over exhilarated thinking, ‘Seeing me, the lassie became so excited that her semen dripped down on the earth.’ (13)(1)

What does a Gurmukh learn from this?For a Gurmukh, many lessons can be learnt from this short tale. Ponder over the following questions that are raised by this tale and you will become aware of various issues raised by this charitar and the need for these issues to be resolved?
- When young, the internal emotion of lust can plays havoc with the person's mind; without a proper course of action, this internal disease can get out of control. What in your opinion is the Gurmat (Guru's advice) to subdue this animal instinct?
- It is clear from this tale that without proper personal standards of conduct the young will get trapped by bad and evil habits driven by uncontrolled emotions and internal hormones. What should someone walking on the path of Sikhi recommend to young people?
- The tale provides a clear message that without a properly constituted monogamous relationship, there is no loyalty between the partners; the act of love making becomes a solution to overcome biological needs rather than a life long loving relationship between a man and woman to raise a family and connect with God as stipulated by the Sikh Gurus. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a monogamous relationship and a polygamous relationship?
- When the fat lover noticed the semen on the floor; he did not pursue this matter but remained subject of his emotions of lust; he was not alert! The Gurmukh should learn that when one is emotionally entangled then one cannot act in an unbiased manner; so always be alert and do not subject yourself to emotional blackouts!
Chritar 102
COMPOSITION CHRITROPAKHYAAN has been Composed by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee, and forms a part of Dasam Granth Sahib; which is more than 40 percent of he whole volume of the Granth.
The Instinct of Sex being most powerful, both creative and is most powerful in creation of sensual passions in creatures. It is closely related to the Creative Life Giving Divine Power; if, however it is used as unregulated by the Moral Divine Authority for mere sensual pleasures, it proves to be most destructive and perilous force for self and others too. If this instinct is properly made use of, under the Guidance of the Divine Authority, its proper use leads to all imaginable comforts, prosperity, fame and happiness in life. Keeping in view of the extreme dangers involved in one’s slightest carelessness in handling the situations of his sex life, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee composed this section of the Granth giving about 400 tales of the different aspects of the people of all lands, to make all to beware of the situations, which may lead them to its perilous effect.
In this issue, we shall study CHRITRA (TALE) 102, WHICH RELATES TO THE REVERED GURUS’ OWN ANCESTORS, RAJA DASRATH OF AYUODHIYA, AND HIS QUEEN KAIKAEE.
Raja Dasrath was the son of Raja Ajj, and grandson of Raja Raghu, in whose name the Dynasty of Kings became to be known as Raghubans. Raja Dasrath had wedded three wives, from them was blessed with Four sons, all of them of great merits. The Four sons were – (1) Sri Ram Chander (2) Sri Bharath (3) Sri Lakshman (4) Sri Satrughan.
Sri Ram Chander had two sons, (1) Luv and (2) Kush. The descendents of Luv and Kush picked up some quarrel with regard to their respective jurisdiction of administration of lands. One of the descendent of Luv had a son born from the princess of some Central India King; the son was named Sodhi Rai, and his descendents began to be called Sodhis, it was from the descendent of Sodhi Rai was born Sri Guru Ram Das of Sodhi Clan. The succeeding 5 – 10th Gurus were the descendents of Guru Ram Das.
While the descendents of Kush, who in their fight with descendents of Luv, after having been vanquished, fled to Banares, settled there, and began to study Vedas and preached religion, were called Baidies. It was from the descendents of those Baidis Guru Nanak was born.
The descendents of Sri Bharat began to called of Bhalla Clan, from whom Sri Guru Amar Das Jee was born. The descendents of Sri Lakshman began to called of Trehan Clan, from whom Sri Guru Angad Dev was born. So all the Ten Gurus belong to Raghuvansh Dynasty, and its Baidi, Trehan and Sodhi clans. THEREFORE THE STATEMENT THAT THIS TALE RELATES TO THE GURUS’ OWN ANCESTORS.
The tale begins with the statement that Raja Dasrath, son of Raja Ajj, used to live in the City of Ayodhiya. He was benevolent to the poor and loved his subjects. Once a war broke out between gods and the demons, and Raja Inder sent for Raja Dasrath for the help to fight the war. Raja Inder told the messengers to go as fast as they could and bring with them Raja Dasrath and his army leaving aside all his other engagements, to fight their war. The messengers told Raja Dasrath accordingly. However, Queen Kaikaee came to know of the Inder’s message relating to war participation, which her husband Dasrath was to fight. She told Dasrath that would also accompany him, failing which she would immolate herself and die. As there was great mutual love in them, the Raja agreed to take her with him. She told him that she would serve him in fighting; if he were to get killed, she would also become Sati – immolate herself with him on his pyre. Dasrath accompanied by his wife reached the battlefield where fighting was in progress. (1 -7)
Inder, who was fully armed with weapons entered the battlefield, where other proud gods had been engaged with powerful demons. When the demons discharged rain of deadly arrows, then gods took to their heals. Inder alone found himself fighting with the demons on the battlefield. At that time Raja Dasrath came to god Inder’s help. Inder while fighting, found himself having been besieged by the demons, just like gust of wind engulfs dark clouds, and blows in a storm. (8 – 10)
In such a situation when deadly frightful fighting between gods and demons was in progress, Raja Dasrath, who was known of his greatness in all the seven worlds, and who was son of Raja Ajj, was seen having entered the battlefield and fought with great determination. The demons directed their onslaughts on him from all directions. Thus ensued the deadly battle. One demon, from the army of the demons sprung forth, who could kill the charioteer of Raja Ajj’s coach. (11 – 15)
When Queen Kaikaee, mother of Prince Bharath, came to know of the death of her husband’s charioteer, she disguised herself as the charioteer and replaced herself for the dead one. She drove the chariot in such a masterly way that no enemy’s arrows could hit him; and also wherever the Raja wanted to move, she would take him there. She drove the chariot in such a mastery way, that wherever Raja moved, there he killed the enemies. Although the atmosphere became dusty due to the raising of the dust storm in troop movements, yet the Raja’s Sword shone like the flash of lightening.
(16 – 18)
Raja Dasrath killed demons one by one. It was a very dreadful battle, and many pious persons died, which the poet Shyam (the Guru) was fully aware of. (17 – 30)
Wherever Dasrath’s mind would think of going, there Kaikaee would take him; thus she managed to move the coach in such a way that he did not even have a scratch on his body. Wherever Kaikaee would take him, he would kill the demons. The Raja thus fought the battle so valiantly, that his fame spread amongst Romans and Syrians. The Raja annihilated all the enemies of gods, and thus he removed all worries of god Indra. Kailaee served her Husband in such a way that she became instrumental in saving him when he was put in extreme danger. Kaikaee was blessed with extremely beautiful body and cmplexion; she won not only the battle, but also TWO SOLEMN PROMISES FROM HER HUSBAND LORD. (31 – 34).
It is most regretted that Pritpal Singh Bindra has extremely poorly translated this Composition of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee, with prejudiced mind, incorrectly and poorly translating passages of importance to prove sexy and Brahmanic in nature, to defame SATGURU JEE.

Chritar 325
Raja Sultan Sain had a daughter, who was very beautiful as well as passionate. She sent her maid servant to ask a handsome prince to come to her. On meeting the Prince, both sexually indulged to the extreme, then got married. As a result of the extreme sensual indulgence, the Prince got totally exhauted. The Princess then began looking for another man to satisfy her lust. She thus developed adulterous relations with other men. Again she developed relations with a man, who would use intoxicants like opium and wine, and indulged in sexual spree in excess. Her husband came there and saw his wife was adulterous. The wife tactfully killed her husband. Then she got her friend to hide himself in a room. She then began crying that some one had killed her husband. The King, her father, came there. The king was told that her husband had died without cause. She posed herself a faithful wife. She said that she would pray to Shiva for restoring life to him, failing which she would burn herself with him. She then tactfully buried her dead husband in a pit, and took all people to another house where her friend was hid. She deceived all, and appeared before all from the room, where her friend was hiding, stating that as a result of her prayers, Shiva revived her husband in a better form, who was with her alive.
Moral
The immoral indulgence of the youth, both sons and daughters, without a formal marriage, is a sin. It is stated that this relationship was regularized and both got married. Then they indulged in sexual practices in excess to the extreme, thus husband got exhausted, and the wife rejected him. She chose another man to satisfy her lust, and killed her husband, deceived every one that her husband got revived to life by Shiva, who was actually her new lover. It is parental duty to keep a watch over the activities of their children and give proper religious guidance to them. Both men and women stoop to lowest level of character to satisfy their lust.
Chritar 185
A trader (Bania) living in Agra, had a very beautiful and charming wife. She was so beautiful that it is said even, both gods and demons used to be enticed by her looks.
One day Emperor Akber proceeded toward jungle for a game, when on the way he saw the trader’s wife, and was allured to see her. He sent a maid servant to her house with the message that the Emperor wanted to see her. The maid went to the house of the lady, and conveyed to her the imperial message. The lady, however, did not go to see the Emperor but called him at her house.
Akber went to her house, took a seat beside her on the bed. The lady then said to Akber, if he could permit her, she would go out to pass the urine. Thus saying, she went out of the house, and firmly locking all the doors of the house. She straight went to her husband and told of the whole matter. The husband was outraged, got hold of his shoe in his hand came to the house, immediately started shoe beating of Akber on his head. After sufficient shoe beating, the husband put Akber in a dungeon underneath the house.
On the following morning the husband went to the police station and reported the case to the police officer. The trader and his wife stated that they did not know the antecedent of man who had entered their house, whether he was a King, or a Big Man, or a Holy Man, or a thief; the Kazi, (Judge) and his clerk, were requested to go to their house and see for themselves the man, who had entered the house. They accompanied by the Kazi and his clerk, came back to the house. Thus saying, both husband and wife hurriedly disappeared from the house.
What the Kazi and his clerk observed that Emperor Akber was sitting there. Akber felt much humiliated, could not utter a word, and hung his head down.
THE GURU’S DICTUM IN THIS REGARD –
Whosoever goes in someone’s house in this manner, it is obvious he only receives the Punishment. Those who entice others’ women, fall in the Pit of Hell.
After this happening, Akber never went to anybody’s house. He reaped, what he had sown. Therefore, he did not indulge in such actions thereafter.
When Sri Guru Gobind Singh wrote this Tale, the country was then ruled by Emperor Aurangzeb, great grand son of Emperor Akber.

The Moral of the Chitar is that, a young women is married to a old man, she fools her husband, to make love with the young prince. Guru Ji try to show sikhs the
"love-sickness", when a man is blind and his or her partner cheats on them.
Guru Shaib Ji Quote
"Arril: When the charity of gold coins is available, who would accept the ones of base metal? If one abandons the opulence, why would one go after wealth? Who would like to go to poor man’s house after leaving the rich mans? Who would remember the poor, forsaking the Raja aside? "
Now i am sure we all can understand what Guru Ji is trying to say, I my self living in NZ, have seen many examples of young girls who marry a old man for the sake of coming to NZ, but here after there hasband goes to work, a dirty play happens, where the man is decieved, he is to foolish to understand that his wife is acting a love show, but is satisfying her self with other males. Just as Guru Ji stated Love - Sickness.
Now if we see this or hear about this, we can manage, but our father makes us aware 400 years back and we say Guru ji is saying Valguar things. Is it not valguar when we talk about it as a community ?

Chritar Forty-six Tale of Noor Bibi
This Chitar Talks about how clever a women can be and to wat limit she can lie to hide her falsehood and cover up her lust, Here is perfect example which we see in many movies. A women making love and her husband walks in, then she fools him and saves the lover. In this case she also fools the lover, so she can still get the her desire.
Both males are heavily fooled, and made a joke of by being blinded by a women.
Today most punjabi songs are based on this topic, which is of betrayal, why do we have a problem if our Guru Ji is telling us ? We get tough sexual education at school. Its to avoid these things, but our Guru ji is purra, and he has given us everything.
In the this Chitar, Guru Shaib ji talks about a women called Noor Bibi, who is a wife of a Quazi named was Adal Mohammed who lived in Kasmhmir. The women here had a bad habbit of making love with different people.
Guru Shaib Ji quotes " Once she was having sex with a Jat without any consideration of the Quazi. Right at the same time Quazi came; she hid the friend under the bed. "
After this she acted like as she was reading the Quran, quazi came in and was fooled by her look, he to made love with her.
Chaupaee
Quazi sat down on the bed and then made love with her. She felt no shame, and down there Jat started to count the strokes.
After the Quazi left, she pulled the Jat from under the bed.
Chaupaee
She said, ‘My friend listen to me, I have beaten Quazi enough, ‘I hit him with a shoe, that is why there was excessive noise.(8) (He replied,) ‘It is true 1 heard the noises too.’ Scratching his head he left for his house and could not discern the mystery
Quazi leaves thinking hes clever, and Jat thinking hes clever, but both of them made idiots by one women. Cause ? Sexual Desire
Chritar 245
The Chritar Two hundred and forty-five Tale of Ras Tilak Manjri is a very complicated Chitar, it is written in a very detailed and a complex fashion, It requires a lot of understanding and patience to understand the reason behind it. Guru Sahib has hidden a lot in this Chitar for his Sikhs to read and understand,
What does this make us aware of?
Understanding the aim and the Chitar of a woman.
Spending time and giving what your partner needs so they don’t have to go anywhere else.
Never invite unknown and unwanted people to your house, as there is no need.
Never Use Violence as a action, always use wisdom.
Think before u make a promise to someone, emotionally can lead to being blinded.
What the use of drug can do to you, and how it can tear your family apart.
Never be foolish enough to make decisions without understanding the future result of them.
Moral Example :
To support this, I will give a example of a women from a neighboring village, she would make her husband drunk and invite unknown men to her house, she would make love and then send them before her husband woke up. Living in Punjab, these examples are normal.
Living in NZ, I have seen many cases where such things occur, women run away with the money, with the guys’ friend or someone, leaving him to hang in shame.
Now we will discuss how Guru Sahib Ji makes his Sikhs aware, Remember this is well over 200 years ago, Guru Sahib Ji tells his Sikh, “ O my Sikh, even if you consider yourself wise, but still you can fall in such traps, so never allow it to happen.”
Below we will discuss this.
The Chitar starts from the famous city called Khanmbawat, where lived a Raja called. “Roop Sen was the Raja of the place from whom no enemy had ever escaped. Madan Manjri was a woman there; her splendour was the embodiment of the Moon”. The Raja was a drug addict; he would make all his queens drink cannabis and opium and make love with them for long periods of time.
In the same town lived a very honorable women, Tilak Manjri, she was famous for her prosperity. Her husband Shah thought himself to be very wise man, and never drank liquefied cannabis. He got angry whenever he observed any Rani drinking the cannabis.
Shah is a good character; he is an image of a person who is sensible and away from drugs.
Guru Sahib Ji Quotes
“Whenever he came across a man drinking cannabis, he would not even stand near him. He would think: ‘These addicts are disrupters of their lives and cause the ruin of their households. Those who take drugs, their lives are destroyed, ‘And the teetotalers, they retain their senses and prosperity.”
Teetotalers = A person who never drinks alcohol
When Shah’s Rani comes to find his views on drugs she was very angry, she was against him, she tries to show him as he’s wrong, she says a person who never drinks alcohol is a donkey. She says a Raja who doesn’t take drugs can’t make love, he is useless, Guru Sahib Ji quotes what the women says : “Who eat cannabis, they don’t depend on anybody. ‘The brave people who take drugs, they have good luck written on their foreheads.”
SHAH DI GHARVALI:
ਅਮਲ ਪਿਯਹਿ ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਰਾਜ ਅਧਿਕ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀਯਨ ਬਿਹਾਰੈ ॥ ਅਮਲ ਸੂਰਮਾ ਪਿਯਹਿ ਦੁਜਨ ਸਿਰ ਖੜਗ ਪ੍ਰਹਾਰੈ ॥ ਅਮਲ ਭਖਹਿ ਜੋਗੀਸ ਧ੍ਯਾਨ ਜਦੁਪਤਿ ਕੋ ਧਰਹੀ ॥ ਚਾਖਿ ਤਵਨ ਕੋ ਸ੍ਵਾਦ ਸੂਮ ਸੋਫੀ ਕ੍ਯਾ ਕਰਹੀ ॥੧੦
The Shah is strong on his views, he answers back to her:”Shah says, listen, woman, you don’t know anything, the teetotalers are known as the ascetics. The penniless teetotaler produces the wealth but the addicts rob the house of sovereign .Here he tries to express the goodness of a person who is away from drugs and brings money home instead of wasting it.”
SHAH DA JWAB:
ਅਮਲ ਪਿਯਤ ਜੇ ਪੁਰਖ ਪਰੇ ਦਿਨ ਰੈਨਿ ਉਘਾਵਤ ॥ ਅਮਲ ਜੁ ਘਰੀ ਨ ਪਿਯਹਿ ਤਾਪ ਤਿਨ ਕਹ ਚੜਿ ਆਵਤ ॥ ਅਮਲ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਜੋ ਪੀਯੈ ਕਿਸੁ ਕਾਰਜ ਕੇ ਨਾਹੀ ॥ ਅਮਲ ਖਾਇ ਗੜ ਰਹੈ ਮ੍ਰਿਤਕ ਹ੍ਵੈ ਕੈ ਘਰ ਮਾਹੀ ॥੧੧॥
But the women is very clever, she herself want to enjoy sex, so she taunts the manhood of the Shah, saying that “Those who are addicted to the drugs, never get cheated and their heads are never shaved off. They filch the female hearts in twinkling and provide them many fold sex.”
She tries to say a normal person who doesn’t take drugs, can’t even last a hour. As we all know that as it’s a nature of God, that sex is for reproduction, not for pleasure, but people misuse it by taking drugs.
She keeps on stating the goodness of taking drugs, showing the Shah down, which can’t be done because he is a not a druggy. But Shah falls for the trap, he fails to answer back to her in wisdom, instead in anger he hits and whips her, as she falls on the ground, he feels bad and sorry for her. He asks her in his good nature, that “What can I do for you? She replied “You invite and serve meals to the Raja and all the others.”
Shah invites all the people, low and high, and also the druggy Raja - Roop Sen. She served them the food laced with cannabis. She deceived the Raja and let him take the drug too. The Raja became lively with the effect of the cannabis. Shah taking it for the first time was knocked out by it. As a drug for a first time user, it is very strong than a person who does it every day. After serving food to the people she said, “I will keep Raja with me throughout the day.”
“The Shah kept lying there, unconscious as if the devil had hit him hard. Like animals, he was neither getting up nor moaning whereas, on the other hand, the Raja was constantly reveling in sex.”
As the Shah was in a dead sleep she tied him under a Palaki, while she sat in the Palaki with the Raja Making love. She also took all the Shah’s wealth, money and gold, leaving his house empty. As the Raja bought the Palaki to his Palace, they told the Palaki carriers to take it back to Shah’s house.
As day broke, and Shah’s eyes opened, he asked, “Who tied me under the Palaki? What have I done?” He realized he had lost all of his wealth and also his women.
Arril
When the Shah had gained full consciousness, he hung his head down (in shame) and he did not divulge the secret to anyone. He thought that, taking all his wealth, she had gone on a pilgrimage.

What does this make us aware of?
Understanding the aim and the Chitar of a woman.
Spending time and giving what your partner needs so they don’t have to go anywhere else.
Never invite unknown and unwanted people to your house, as there is no need.
Never Use Violence as a action, always use wisdom.
Think before u make a promise to someone, emotionally can lead to being blinded.
What the use of drug can do to you, and how it can tear your family apart.
Never be foolish enough to make decisions without understanding the future result of them.
Moral Example :
To support this, I will give a example of a women from a neighboring village, she would make her husband drunk and invite unknown men to her house, she would make love and then send them before her husband woke up. Living in Punjab, these examples are normal.
Living in NZ, I have seen many cases where such things occur, women run away with the money, with the guys’ friend or someone, leaving him to hang in shame.
Now we will discuss how Guru Sahib Ji makes his Sikhs aware, Remember this is well over 200 years ago, Guru Sahib Ji tells his Sikh, “ O my Sikh, even if you consider yourself wise, but still you can fall in such traps, so never allow it to happen.”

Chritar 244
Chritar Two hundred and forty-four Tale of Naagar Mati
This chitar is very well written by Guru Shaib, it shows and highlights many issues which we face today, specialy in the youth era when a lot of girls and boys make mistakes. In the Guru shaib ji show the importance of these following things :
Importance of mental understanding between a couple
Importance of communication which is required to form a relationship
Importance of trust and faith
Importance of a formal Relationship
Downgrade and disgraced in a love affair
Decision making in tight situation
Understanding the value of true love
And the close look at the attack of revenges
In the sake of lust and revenges a person can reach any limit, we see this very often, a lot of young guys and girls make this mistake, and to fulfill it they can reach any limit, it also disgraces there family and also they kill their Dharam . Love at a sight is a bullshit thing, they can’t be love without mental understanding, it is really important that our Guys and girls have a good relationship mentally and everything is done formally to avoid such things.
This chitar starts with Padam Singh who was an intelligent Raja, Bikrim Kumari was his queen; she was very pretty, they son was” Sunbh Karan was very brave who had won over many enemies. He was extremely handsome and women used to fancy him very much” – (He was a very popular guy who was loved by many women around the town. In todays world you can look at a typical “ashiq” in the modern day Punjab. )
Now this is where the chitar really starts, in Chapaui, Guru ji states “Brikhbudh was a Shah in the town and Naagar Kumari was his wife. Naggar Mati was his daughter; she was prettiest among the village girls. “So in the same town lived lived this Shah. When the daughter of the Shah, “Naggar Mati” saw the prince she fell in love with him. – (This is a typical situation which our Punjab faces, which has caused
the down grade of our rich culture, by looking at someone, you can’t be in love, its just the sake of lust)
The girl was blind in lust, Guru ji state that “ The way throughh which prince used to come, she standing in his way sung songs alongwith her maids. They would keep their eyes wide open to wink at each other, and giggle jovially”
Note – (This is shown in my Punjabi songs today, practiced by the youth, I can name many songs, which talk about, “Akh marni, or talks about standing at a corner, etc, same ideology, by our father making us aware 300 years back )
Now Satguru ji says,
“Dohira : The love affair, odour and cough cannot be obscured, As they all, at the end, are uncovered in the world” - (When a female and a male talk in public, and giggle jiggle, and have something going on, it dosent stay hidden, it spreads like a fire, - I have seen many examples in my life. ). So it spreaded in the town, reached each and every household. The secrets, which were kept away from parents, were revealed. After parents found out, “ They were kept indoors and were not let to go out, And consequently the womanhood was in very much distress”.
Note – ( I am sure living in a culture like Punjab, this happens many times, where the girl and boy are beaten up or stoped from meeting each other, If this happens with in our community now, then why are we shy of listening to our Guru who knows the future and colour of Kajug and makes as aware ? Shame on us ? Hmm.
Carrying on, the daughter of the Shah, still crazy in her lust, writes a letter to the Prince to meet up with him and take her away,she writes “‘I have fallen in love with you, ‘If I do not revel with you today, then I will cast off my life.( 14) ‘Please, my love, don’t delay and get me out of this place. ‘You should not be too proud. Please bring life in me.’(15) ‘Please dress up nicely and come with happy mind. ‘Why are you sitting Idly by there, come, my eyes are yearning for your sight.’”
“Dohira :But the prince just ignored the request as a cheap shot of the womanhood. He did not agree and showed no emotion for the request” – So basically the Prince rejects her thinking she is a low graded women.
Note- ( Many boys play with girls feeling, and girls play with boys, all this has become common and a play for a modern youth, same thing expressed here. )
As the prince said No and didn’t go, the daughter of the Shah went really mad, in anger she killed her father with a dagger and also her mother. As quoted “Cutting father into thousands of pieces she went and buried them alongside the wall of the prince’s house.”
After this she went to the King and said ‘Your son had fallen in love with me and that is why he killed my paren ts.( 24) ‘He cut my father into small pieces and buried him under the wall. ‘You, My Raja, come with me and perform the justice. ., ‘If he is not found there, you exterminate me otherwise you punish him,” She also added my mother also killed herself after hearing about my father’s death.
Chaupaee
“ He( King )found the parts of the body there and thought, ‘What the woman has Told me, it is true.’ He did not understand the secret and, with a dagger, killed his son.” And to conclude Guru shaib Ji says “Arril : She killed her parents and then her friend as well and after that she deceived the Raja.“
244th Parable of Auspicious Chritars Conversation of the Raja and the Minister, Completed with Benediction. (244)(4562) To be continued.
To conclude there is a line in chariter where it says that when a women full in lust comes to you, and you say no to her you can end up in hell, but if you have an extra marital relation ship, your life will be ruined and will be worse as hell. eg. in this chariter, prince took the things very lightly and without any deep thought of the emotional state of the girl, rejected her and girl felt insulted. She ruined the life of herself , her parents and prince . In other words , she made their life worse than hell.So prince should have acted maturely , the way Shaheed Hari Singh Nalwa managed by taking girl out in public and publicly announcing that she consider the girl( who proposed him for marriage) as her mother. Hari Saingh Nalwa played smartly and resolved the issue.
ਕਾਮਾਤੁਰ ਹ੍ਵੈ ਜੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਪੁਰਖ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਆਵਈ ॥ ਘੋਰ ਨਰਕ ਮਹਿ ਪਰੈ ਜੁ ਤਾਹਿ ਨ ਰਾਵਈ ॥
But at the same time, in very next line , chariter says that if you leave your dharam by establishing extramarital affair, it will make rest of your life a near hell.eg Bill Clinton
ਜੋ ਪਰ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਪਰ ਸੇਜ ਭਜਤ ਹੈ ਜਾਇ ਕਰਿ ॥ ਹੋ ਪਾਪ ਕੁੰਡ ਕੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਪਰਤ ਸੋ ਧਾਇ ਕਰਿ ॥੨੦॥
Chariters are written as case studies. Guru sahib taught us gurmat for 200 years through guru granth sahib. After that he has given case studies to singhs so that we could apply the rules of gurmat by acting as judges and see who is right and who is wrong in the chariter. As with any court case, both characters can be wrong or both may be right or only one may be wrong. It is upto a judge to decide who is wrong and who is right.
