Das Dharam

Das Dharam is a message of God.

                The followers of Das Dharam shall accept suffering in order to give joy to others. These followers are bound to their Master by an oath to help and assist his members and humanity. Das Dharam is a social organ and will work on a social level. The joy and happiness attained through helping others cannot be attained through helping others cannot be attained through any other means. The soul attains peace through helping others. Man thus, becomes a true human being or an angel.

                On 21^st November, 1981 I stated at Loni Dera near Delhi: “Whoever shall accept Das Dharam Shall be known as angel and shall merge into Sachkhand Nanak Dham.”

                A Literal translation of “Das” is “A free servant of humanity and “Dharam”, promise.” So Das Dharam means “The service of humanity by freedom of choice”.

                Those people who set aside their own needs and assist others will be accepted into Das Dharam. These people must have following four virtus; they shall show mercy, be truthful, be contented and accept their Master’s happiness as their own and lastly they will be given Naam. They can be given any service and must perform it.

                Members of Das Dharam shall rise above and assist anyone regardless of their religion, caste, creed, status or color. Das Dharam is a Kind of Unity and can be known as the Unity, through which people are assisted and are given the message of how they can assist others.

The religious teaching given in Sachkhand Nanak Dahm is that of Humanitarianism. Every body is encouraged to follow that path which has come down to us from time immemorial, the message never changes, it’s virtues are the same.

                The greatest religion is that which teaches us to recite Naam and to perform good deeds. This is what Sachkhand Nanak Dham is doing.

                When a child is born, he has no religion. The child comes simply as a human being. If from the beginning a child is taught the principles of humanitarianism, which are mercy, truth and contentment, and is not brought up as a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Sikh, then we may conclude that he will truly be religious one day.

                Instead we simply teach the child our own individual religious thoughts and therefore he becomes entangled within those thoughts and does not progress.

                Sachkhand Nanak Dham urges people to rise above these thoughts and teaches them friendship and love through which they become a Das or true servant of God someone who lives for others.

The Dagger and the beads are the insignia of Sachkhand Nanak Dham. The dagger represents power. The rosary represents devotion. The dagger is surrounded by the rosary, which acts as a cover for it.

                We went every problem to be overcome and solved peacefully with love. The dagger is standing supported by the rosary. The rosary symbolizes the Spiritual center of Sachkhand Nanak Dham. The dagger is the emblem of Das Dharam, which will work across the four corners of the world. This emblem is also accepted in the spiritual realms.

The tilak is applied as a ritual in Sachkhand Nanak Dham and is also a sign of bravery. In the old days a man going into battle was marked with tilak. My followers will stand up and speak against evil and establish peace on earth.

Whenever a messenger of God comes to earth with a mission. He gives his follower a distinct uniform.

 In the same way, I have given my followers a uniform. Only those who will put aside their own needs and promise to assist others, can wear the uniform.

This slogan is the essence of all scriptures, which was first uttered by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Every messenger of God during his life time on earth gives his followers a slogan such as Ram Ram, Sia Ram, Namastey, As-salamu Alaykum, Sat Kartar, Sat Siri Akal, Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh.

                Similarly while looking at today’s needs I have given my followers the slogan of “Nanak Naam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat da Bhala. “It’s meaning can be explained in the following way:

1. Nanak Naam – Glorifies the name of the God.
2. Chardi Kala – Asks for the prosperity and good will of His creation.
3. Tere Bhane – Is to seek Contentment under His love. Be merciful so that we can live under your will.”
4. Sarbat Da Bhala – Is to seek the well being of all creation. “Oh Lord, forgive even those who have forsaken you and are blind, dumb and mute to your glory.”

This is practiced and taught in Sachkhand Nanak Dham.

        Sachkhand Nanak Dham believes in the slogan as being similar to atomic power. Sachkhand Nanak Dham shows practically the results of this power.

First of all it is necessary to define the meaning of the word, Das. Das means a free servent, who performs free services, which does not constitute slavery.

                Free service also means it is done by someone who seats aside his personal needs and performs it for the good of others. All saints and messengers of God have accepted the service of God.

                Sachkhand Nanak Dham urges and teaches others to perform some service for others and its slogan also personifies this service. To live solely for oneself is worthless. All messengers of God have lived for others and have taught their followers to live for others as well.

                I personally have stated that I am a Das and have come with a mission of service. I am your servant and urge you to stand up and serve others. Whoever accepts this with his heart and serves others is a true Das. He will be justified in using the name Das in front of his other names.

Das Dharam is a message of God.

                The followers of Das Dharam shall accept suffering in order to give joy to others. These followers are bound to their Master by an oath to help and assist his members and humanity.

                Those people who set aside their own needs and assist others will be accepted into Das Dharam.

Sachkhand Nanak Dham is a spiritual center where people are taught how to prise God, serve his creation and are given the message of Humanitarianism.

                People are taught how not to live for only oneself but for others as well. (Do some thing for someone else in your life).

Das Dharam is the message for Sachkhand Nanak Dham and Das are its citizens, for example Sachkhand Nanak Dham can be likened to a state and “Das” are its members where god is praised.

                Das Dharam is its family and Das are its members. Sachkhand Nanak Dham is like a University or laboratory where the scriptures are put into practice to reveal the truth.

In other words, it is a place of God, where anyone can come regardless of caste, creed, religion, status or color, It is not for one sect alone but for everyone.

Sachkhand Nanak Dham is a spiritual center through which people can attain happiness. It is common to all people. It’s message is one of humanitarianism. If you wish to traverse a spiritual path then you are given Naam and are encouraged in a spiritual endeavor. Others are blessed with wordly wealth, health and their ailments and suffering are eradicated.

Nothing is forced. But the true message is that a Hindu becomes a true Hindu, a Muslim to become a true Muslim, a Christian to become a true Christian and Sikh become a true Sikh.

                We are creating a bond of love amongst all people in a practical way. It’s message is not of diversity or of creating divisions between man and man. We are creating an awareness of human values and affection in everyone. We advocate to those following a particular path of destruction, under the influence of same vested interest, to come and join us in building a happy and prosperous would for all to live in. We offer to make every sacrifice in order to achieve this end.

                Our message to all religions and national is to nature the ideals of brotherhood and live their lives in peace and harmony, not hatred and strife.

It is a fact that mighty kings, prophets and saints have had the backing of a great power, who works incognito. Whenever man has become weak, he has been inspired to greater things by a women in the from of a mother, daughter, wife or beloved.

                She can inspire men in the form of Laxmi (Goddess, Power of wealth), Sarswati (Goddess, Power of Truth) or Chandi (Goddess, Power of Destruction).

                Man unfortunately does not respect women and caste a slur on them. They who have given birth to prophets, gurus, saints and messengers of God, have also been sold in the open market place.

                It is she who can inspire men to greater glory or plunge mankind to a handful of ashes.

                Sachkhand Nanak Dham therefore, encourages women to stand shoulder to shoulder with men, to work on an equal footing in the service of humanity, to create a prosperous and better world.

This practice is followed because Sachkhand Nanak Dham believes in the virtus and non virtues (i.e. Nirgun and Sargun). In view of this, Ardas (Offerings) and Aarti (prayer) are done simultaneously. **(Later Huzur Mahraz Jee had given Arjoi in place of Aarti & Ardas.)

White in the symbol of peace and calm. Because of it’s virtus it will bow down to love and respect, but not to pride.

                Sachkhand Nanak Dham has come forward with a mission for establishing peace in the world and that is why such prominence is given to this color.

                There is nothing wrong if we have to surrender our pride in order to welcome others, because this colour teaches us to be meek and humble and to pray for the prosperity of all.

                Despite our efforts of establishing peace it is on where nearer than when we started. The reasons are very simple. We have been devided into many different religions, caste, creeds and sects. We have in fact, lost faith and have none in any religion. Now, do we have any faith in humanitarianism either?

                Das Dharam is not a servant of any Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Sikh who are preaching the sovereignty of their own particular faiths. In fact, they are all humanitarians who have forgotten themselves.

                Das Dharam is trying to consolidate peace and unity for all mankind. We are striving to eliminate differences of classes, castes, creeds and colors. We are striving to and encouraging others to maintain the sanctity and purity of holy places. Intoxicants and drugs do not have any place in our faith. We encourage patriotism not only to ones country of birth but also to the country one is living in. We encourage the support and assistance of people in need by whatever means possible.

                Das Dharam belives in the family of mankind and is one and only one God. We are striving to awaken people to the ideals of love, happiness and truth which have been lost to our evil deeds.
