ਦੇਗ

ਮੈ ਸਮਝਦਾਂ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਸਿਰਫ ਮੈ ਕਲਾ ਹੀ ਭੁਖੀ ਨੀਤ ਵਾਲਾ ਸੀ

Bahut khoob! The answer to to this too will have to be in Kavita form.

Request to all contributors to write poem/s on Degh. Daas will try something as well.

Bhai Sahib Balraj Singh Ji whatever I said above, was said from a funny tone. Its a blessing knowing even you guys, but getting sangat of Gurmukhs is beyond explanation. So know that I didnt call you bhukha, but a bhukh over Parshad is a good bhukh.

ਹੋਈਆ ਛੁੱਟੀਆ ਕਾਲਜ ਤੋਂ ਜੀ
ਹੁਣ ਰਲ-ਮਿਲ ਗੁਰਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਣੇ ਜੀ
ਉਪਰੰਤ ਦੇਗ਼ ਦੇ ਗੱਫ਼ੇ ਛੱਕਣੇ ਜੀ
ਉਹਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਦੇਗ਼ ਰਾਂਹੀਂ ਲੈਣੀ ਅਤੇ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਕਰਨੀ ਜੀ
ਪਰ ਇਕ ਗੱਲ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਯਾਦ ਰੱਖਣੀ ਜੀ
ਕਿ ਦੇਗ਼ ਛੱਕ-ਛੱਕ ਦੁਨੀ ਚੰਦ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਣਨਾ ਜੀ
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਲੜ ਲੱਗੇ ਰਹਿਣਾ ਜੀ
ਹੁਕਮ ਹੋਣ ਤੇ ਸਿਰ ਵੀ ਦੇ ਦੇਣਾ ਜੀ
ਸੱਚ ਲਈ ਮਰ ਮਿਟਣਾ ਜੀ
ਅਮਰ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਅਸੀਂ ਹੈ ਬਣਨਾ ਜੀ
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਗੋਦ ਚਿਵ ਅਨੰਦ ਰਸ ਮਾਨਣਾ ਜੀ
ਉਸ ਕਿਰਪਾਲ ਦਾਤੇ ਨੂੰ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਚੇਤੇ ਰੱਖਣਾ ਜੀ
ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਹਨੂੰ ਧਿਆ ਕੇ, ਪਰਮ ਸੁੱਖ ਪਾਉਣਾ ਜੀ
ਉਸ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਪਰਮ ਹੰਸੁ ਸੱਜ ਕੇ, ਆਤਮ ਰੰਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੀਨ ਹੋਣਾ ਜੀ
ਉਸ ਦੀ ਦੇਗ਼ ਰਾਂਹੀਂ ਇਹ ਕਲਾ ਵਰਤਣੀ ਜੀ
ਇਕ ਗੱਲ ਹੋਰ ਚੇਤੇ ਰੱਖਣੀ ਜੀ
ਦੇਗ਼ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਅਸੀਂ ਵੀ ਮਿੱਠੇ ਬਣਨਾ ਜੀ
ਕਿੱਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਕੋੜ ਬੋਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਬੋਲਣਾ ਜੀ
ਗੁਰਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਨੁੰ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਨਿਵ ਰਹਿਣਾ ਜੀ
ਹਰ ਇਕ 'ਚ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਵੇਖਣੀ ਜੀ
ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਸਾਡੇ ਵਿਚਾਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਹਿਮਤ ਹੁੰਦਾ
ਤੇ ਫ਼ਿਰ ਉਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਦੁਸ਼ਮਣੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨੀ ਜੀ
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਦੁਆਰ ਵਿੱਚ, ਉਸ ਹਰੀ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ਵਰ ਦੇ ਜਸ ਗਾੳਣੇ ਜੀ
ਲੜਾਈਆਂ ਝਗੜਿਆਂ 'ਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਪੈਣਾ ਜੀ
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦਾ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਭੈਅ ਰੱਖਣਾ ਜੀ
ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ "ਚੋਸਨ ਵੱਨ" ਨਹੀਂ ਸਮਝਣਾ ਜੀ

Gurman Singh ji,

No worries. Its not bad to be bhukha for Degh. Gursikhs mentioned that URGE for more dekh is the Nishani of Chardi kala and one who doesnt like more degh is BAD ROOH

One Singh used to say that one who does not like Degh is a "Dusht Aatma".

I think you made a mistake. The poster's name is clearly indicated as "Gursimran Singh" and not "Gurman Singh".

only some people get degh because of their good karma.

hanji, we are lucky.

Such a great Kavita!

I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old, my family would visit Bangla Saahib (New Delhi) every weekend. And there used to be a huge line for Degh right outside at the Parkarmaa. We knew that Degh would be very hot but would go back again and again just to get it, because it just tasted soo good. We would keep switching our hands to handle degh because it would soo hot.. And as a child degh was the only thing we would look forward to while going to Guroodvaraa..hehe
-------------------

Bahut Achhay, Jaspreet Singh jeeo. Good Kavita.

And you are correct Inderpreet Kaur jeeo that for kids (and for adults too) Degh is the main motivating factor that brings them to Gurdwara Sahib.

Degh is a wonder of Guru Sahib. There is no food more tastier than Degh. Degh helps in Naam Abhyaas, Gurbani Kirtan and motivates us to come to Sangat. Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh jee has written that during childhood, Bhai Mani Singh jee got accustomed to come in Sangat because of his love for Degh. First he used to come to Sangat mainly for Degh and slowly over time, he developed love for Gurbani and Naam; but it all started with Degh.

Few weeks ago, Singhs here organized Siri Akhand Paath Sahib at someone's home. Incidently, I got an urgent call from work and had to go to work. I started work at 7 am on Saturday and the work was so intense that it continued till 1am, Sunday. Everyone who had worked, including me, were dead tired.

I reached home around 1:30 am and thought of sleeping half and hour or so before doing Gurmat Ishnaana. Soon I got up and did Ishnaan and while I was doing Nitnem, I thought of skipping the Bhog of Siri Akhand Paath Sahib and reaching there, later on around the Bhog of Siri Asa kee Vaar, which was scheduled for around 9-10 am.

After doing Siri Anand Sahib, I started doing Abhyaas. The idea was to do Abhyaas for sometime and then naturally go to sleep while doing Abhyaas. The weakness to skip Bhog of Siri Akhand Paath Sahib had taken over me and I fully resolved to skip the Bhog. Deciding thus, I kept doing Abhyaas. Soon a very strong feeling of Garam Garam Degh took over my mind. I just love Degh and have been accustomed to getting Degh everyday in the morning, after Abhyaas. The idea of not getting Degh that day was too much for me to sustain.

While I was doing Abhyaas, I frequently thought of Degh. My mouth filled with water, everytime I thought of Degh. Soon the feeling of fatigue was killed by the tasty feeling of Degh. I got up, got in the car and rushed towards to Siri Akhand Paath Sahib Mandal. Bhatt Savaiaas were going on. Guru Sahib blessed Daas with not only attendance in Siri Akhand Paath Sahib but also with Akhand Kirtan Samagam that followed the Bhog.

Degh was really tasty, as usual and I was not disappointed. Guru Sahib blessed Daas with hours of Laaha that included Paath and Kirtan. All this was made possible because of Degh. Dhan Guru Sahib for blessing us with the perfect Parshaad - Siri Panchamrit Degh.

Kulbir Singh

wjkk,wjkf,khalsa jio, degh was brought by SHRI GURU NANAK DEV JI from SACHKHAND for us.Also hukamby guru ji placed degh in maharaj's hajuri sit gursikh around them and do kirtan.
"KRRAH KARAN KI BIDH SUN LIJE,TEEN BHAG KO SAMSAR KIJE,
LEPAN AGYE BAHUKAR DIJE,MANJAN KAR BHANJAN DHOVIJE,
KAR ISNAN PAVITAR HVE BAHYE,VAHEGURU BIN AVAR NA KAHE,
KAR TYAR CHONKI PAR DHARE,CHAR AUR KIRTAN BHE KARE" (BHAI NANAD LAL JI)


bhag heen bhram chotan khave

haha Bhai Kulbir Singh jeeo that has to be one of the best excuses i have ever heard to go and get Degh!!

When younger and being told to sit and listen to Akhand paaht, I rewarded myself after every hour of sitting by getting a huge gapha of Degh. Many times i tried to take as long as possible to finish it but alas I could not resist the temptation and ended up finishing it in 5 minutes and then waiting for another 50 minutes!

I think I might be too old to get away with that now

Manmander Singh Ji, those were the best times, as younger children are not too bothered about shame and going back for delicious Karah Parshad time and again. I'm not sure of the spellings but my parents would tell me to ask for gahra gapha for lots where the hands would be brimming full of Parshad and swaiya for a small amount.

Back then my grandmother used to take me daily to the local Ramgharia Gurdwara and I always wondered why they put salt in the Parshad, but still I found it tasty. Later on and much to my amusement I discovered they used salted butter.

Let's just hope that all Gurdwaras keep the recipe as standard and don't bow down to pressure from heretics claiming Degh is unhealthy!!!

wjkk,wjkf, khalsa jio, once on hoshiarpur smagam.When two singhs was prepairing degh for amrit sanchar smagam the mehak of degh made him great hungry and they ate it.Dew to this amrit sanchar smagams held to be late.So those singhs was punished by punj singh.The singh beg muafi in sangat by order of punj singhAll sangat was very surprised and laughed on this incident ha ha ha . bhag heen bhram chotan khave

That's too funny "Bhagvant" jeeo.

This is the first time I am hearing that the Singhs could not control themselves and ate the Degh themselves. Perhaps this is why, I rarely do sewa of making Degh.

Kulbir Singh

Well as the subject is on I think it would be good to also list out/Discuss the Maryada for the Degh Sewa.

The Degh Maryada has been discussed in detail at the following link:

The strong desire for degh has driven me to impulsive behaviour and has brought me to Guru Sahib's hazoor on more than one occasion.... what I wouldn't do for more guphas of such pure, sweet delight

ਕਰਮਾਂ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਮਿਲਦੀ ਸਿੰਘੋ,
ਗੁਰਸਿਖਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਗਤ ਪਿਆਰੀ।

ਚਰਨ ਧੂੜ ਦੇ ਸਦਕੇ ਸਿੰਘੋ,
ਚਲ ਕੇ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਉਮਤ ਸਾਰੀ।

ਗੁਰੂ ਹਜੂਰੀ ਪੈਂਦੀ ਵਰਖਾ,
ਬਾਣੀ ਮਿੱਠੀ ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਧਾਰੀ।

ਗੁਰੂ ਰਸੋਈ ਲੰਗਰ ਚੱਲੇ,
'ਘਿਓ ਮੈਦਾ ਖਾਣ' ਦੀ ਕਰੋ ਤਿਆਰੀ।

ਪਾਣੀ ਖੰਡ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾਲ ਰਲਾ ਕੇ,
ਬਣਦੀ ਦੇਗ ਮਿੱਠੀ ਸਹਜਾਰੀ।

ਬਾਣੀ ਪੜ੍ਹਦੇ ਸਿੰਘ ਬਣਾਉਂਦੇ,
ਪਾਉਂਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਦੀ ਰੀਤ ਨਿਆਰੀ।

ਜੋ ਵੀ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਰੱਜ ਕੇ ਜਾਂਦਾ,
ਗੁਫੇ ਵਰਤਣ ਵਾਰੋ ਵਾਰੀ।

ਦਗ ਦਗ ਚਿਹਰੇ ਗੁਰਸਿਖਾਂ ਦੇ,
ਸ਼ਕ ਕੇ ਚੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਨਾਮ ਖੁਮਾਰੀ।

Bhain Amrit Kaur Jee that was amazing!

These are very impressive poems on DEGH. (Thank you Balraj Singh Ji. I have posted it on fb) And these are very timely. Many among the Sangat, have started taking "Swaya" of the DEGH. I am reminded of importance of DEGH, by reading your poems. Thank you, all poets.

ਦੇਗ ਬਖਸੀ ਗੁਰੂਦੇਵ ਨੇ

ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਦੀ ਦਾਤ ਵਰਗੀ ,

ਵਿਚ ਪਾਈ ਬਾਣੀ ਦੀ ਮਿਠਾਸ ,

ਏਆਬੇ ਹੇਆਤ ਵਰਗੀ ,

ਏ ਕਲਜੁਗੀ ਤਪਦੇ ਸੀਨੇ ਠਾਰਦੀ ਜਾਵੇ ,

ਜੋ ਵੀ ਖਾਵੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਪੁਕਾਰ ਲਗਾਵੇ ,

ਉਠ ਉਠ ਗਫੇ ਲੇਣ ਆਵੰਨ

ਗੁਰੂ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਵੀਰ ਮਸਤਾਨੇ ,

ਐਸੀ ਨਿਆਮਤ ਗੁਰੂ ਨੇ ਬਣਾਈ ,

ਦੇਗ ਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਬੋ ਦੀਵਾਨੇ ,

36 ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰਾ ਓ ਭੋਜਨ ਭੁੰਚਨ ਹਾਰਾ ,

ਏਕ ਗਫਾ ਜੋ ਲਾਵੇ ਪਿਆਰਾ ,

ਆਵੋ ਆਵੋ ਆਵੋ ਭਾਈ ,

ਰਜ ਰਜ ਗਫੇ ਲਵੋ ਭਾਈ ,

ਦੇਗ ਤੇਗ ਦੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ ਗਾਜਾਵੋ ਭਾਈ ,

ਸਿੰਘ ਸੰਪੂਰਨ ਬਣ ਜਾਵੋ ਭਾਈ ,
