Bhai Joga Singh Jee

Bhai Joga singh lived around the time of guru gobind singh jee. When Bhai Joga singh jee met guru jee, he asked bhai joga singh jee's name, and then asked him who is he worthy of?(also known as Joga). Bhai Joga Singh Jee said, I am worty of you guru jee, and guru jee told him, and guru is worthy of you(joga). For many years at Anandpur, He served guru jee well. As the sakhi(story) goes, bhai Joga singh jee left Anadpur Sahib, to get married to pasavar. Guru Gobind Singh Jee, told bhai Joga Jee, that when he is to be called, he should come right away. So after bhai joga singh jee's fourth lava, Guru Gobind Singh jee send his Sikhs to tell bhai joga jee, that guru jee needs him to come, in the middle of the wedding. As he halted for a night at Hosiarpur, on his way to guru gobind singh jee, bhai joga singh's mind got enticed by seeing a beautiful courtesan (prostitute). As he went to womens door, the women told bhai joga singh jee "what are you doing here? your a guru's sikh?". Bhai Joga singh jee attempted to go again, trying to hide this face, with scarf. Failed to attempt, Bhai Joga singh jee left dissappointed towards Guru Jee. When Guru Gobind Singh Jee asked him, how his jorney was, he try to hide it, however, when guru jee kept asking it again, Bhai Joga Singh Jee final admitted his error, which was build due to his pride of leaving in the middle of his wedding. So he told the guru gobind singh jee, and other sikhs of how he was fallen, and was saved due to guru jee's grace.

Guru Gobind Singh jee saved his Sikh from lust, because Bhai Joga jee did something for the guru.

Moral of the story: Even the most Chardikala Sikhs, who has guru jee's blessing, can be fallen down. It is important that just because we wake up at amritvela, do simran, we have to be carefully not to get too much ego from it, because anytime, and anywhere guru jee can take away from us, what he has given us.


Later Gurdwara was dedicated to Bhai Joga singh jee in Hoshiarpur
