Raag Bilaaval (Bilawal) M.5

There were 4 attempts to kill the child Hargobind Ji. In addition, the child contracted smallpox.

In each case, the child was saved by God’s Grace. Guru Arjun Dev Ji wrote several Shabads in shukrana. Although these Shabads were written in shukrana at a particular event, the Shabads are Timeless and apply to all of us, at all times. The essence of these Shabads is Praises of the Protective, Merciful, and Innate Nature (Birdh) of God.

The Lord’s Innate Nature became manifest, and He showered all with peace and bliss; the humble holy Saints (Gurus) were Merciful and the entire family blossomed forth in joy.

“Saggal anand kiya Parmeshar Aapna Birdh samaarieya; Sadh janna hoye kirpaala biggsay sabh parvaarieya.”

The True Guru resolved my affairs; Hargobind has been blessed with long life, and has been showered with comfort, happiness and well being.

“Karaj Satgur Aap sawaarieya; vaddi aarja Hargobind ki sukh manggal kaliyan bichaareiya.” (rahao).

The forests, meadows, and the three worlds have blossomed forth in greenery, and all beings receive His Support; Nanak has obtained the fruits of his mind’s desires and all wishes have been fulfilled.

“Vann trinn tribhavan harieiya hoye saggle ji sadhaarieiya; mann iche Nanak falh paaiye Puran ich pujaarieiya.”
