Bibi Shanti was a devoted Sikh of Guru Hargobind ji. She taught her son, Pulla, that if he believed strongly, then surely the Guru would come and visit them. One glorious day Guru Hargobind and some Sikhs really did come and visit. Their humble prayers were answered. The Guru had them make langar and all the villagers experienced a miracle they wouldn't soon forget.
Once there was a Sidh Yogi was becoming very old. Before his life came to an end he was blessed with a visit to Guru Amar Das. Guru ji granted him the blessing that he could be re-born in to the Guru's family. Soon the Guru had a grandson, that was the Yogi, and named him Anand. On the spot Guru ji recited Anand Sahib.
Adi Momo was a really scary mean person. Whenever he would come around the village he would steal from everyone and beat them. One man was very forgiving and wise. He just starting singing Adi Momo's name. Singing and singing..... something happened. Adi Momo did something no one had ever seen him do before...
Guru Hargobind announced to his Sikhs that he wanted them to come in his presence and recite Jap Ji Sahib. When Sikhs would come and recite, he could tell how well they understood the teachings. One man did such a wonderful Japji that Guru Hargobind knew of no other offering he could give. So the Guru was about the offer the throne Baba Nanak to him...
Guru Harkrishan was only 5 years old when he received the Guruship. Once a very learned Hindu high priest came to see him. He thought the Guru was only a little boy who couldn't know as much as he did. So he challenged the Guru to interpret the Gita with him. Guru Harkrishan ji did something the Brahman didn't expect. He didn't just talk, he showed the man that God is in every one....
Guru Ram Das had sent his youngest son, Arjan, away to do some work for the Guru. From his longing to be with his father he wrote a series of beautiful letters. His older brother became very jealous and showed himself not worthy of the Guruship. Arjan wrote the letters with such devotion and longing that they have the power of 1,000 shabds. For this reason it came to be called "Shabd Hazare".The Gaddi was given to him and he became Guru Arjan Dev ji.
Guru Amar Das, the third Guru, was becoming old and it was time to decide who had the selflessness to carry on the light of Guru Nanak. He tested both of his son-in-laws, Bhai Rama and Bhai Ram Das. He made them build platforms for him to meditate on. When the son-in-laws made the platforms, the Guru rejected their work. He continued to have them build and tested their devotion to see who would truly be selfless.......
A begging Faqir, who was very unclean, always slandered Guru Amar Das for not giving him gifts. Bhai Jetha who later became Guru Ram Das, gave the man a very, very expensive necklace. He said "My Guru has given me the jewel of the Name, it is more valuable than anything." Bhai Jetha ji showed us a very great truth that day.
This story took place not very long ago. A girl going to college serves her sick brother with sincere dedication. After a series of meetings with a divine character her faith is strengthened. She realizes there is great power in prayer and God can come to us in our normal lives.
Once Guru Amar Das ji was in deep, deep meditation. His daughter, Bibi Bhani, saw that the platform he was on was going to break and he would be jolted awake when that happens. She put her hand in the way. Her hand got cut really bad. When Guru ji saw her pain and devotion he granted her a blessing. She asked that the Guruship always stay in her family line. The rest of the Gurus were descendants of Bibi Bhani and Guru Ram Das.
