00:00God bless you.
00:30May God allow us to return to Nankana Sahib freely, and all the other temples in which
00:40we once prayed.
00:42May God grant us this prayer.
00:48The cradle of the Sikh religion is in the village of Talwandi, now called Nankana Sahib,
00:53in Punjab, in present-day Pakistan.
00:57Created six centuries ago by the Guru Nanak, it is the last great monotheistic religion.
01:27The philosophy is based on the spiritual teachings of the ten Gurus and the representation of
01:36the Holy Book called Siri Guru Granth Sahib.
01:40For Sikhs, whose name means faithful, it is about being alive and not a book.
01:46It is incarnate and embodied.
01:49Every morning at dawn, in the temple of Nankana Sahib, the grantee, or priests of the Sikh
01:55religion, wake up with the religious scripture Guru Granth Sahib.
02:01He spent the night in a bed, in an air-conditioned room.
02:06We will never seek the Guru Granth Sahib alone.
02:09There must be five people minimum.
02:12To grantee open the curtains, dress him for the day, and do their prayers.
02:30He is then placed in front of the temple on an altar, under a canopy.
02:34The Sikh temple is called Gudrara, which literally means the Guru's door.
02:41The Sikh temple is called Gudrara, which literally means the Guru's door.
02:49To enter, you must remove your shoes and cover your head.
03:06It is open to all.
03:12The Sikh community.
03:13The Sikh temple is called Gudru Narth Virginia.
03:14Even if the Sikh temple still Sh Ebay подобied.
03:23The Sikh temple is created in the sense of the temple.
03:28To enter, you must be registered and are different goodness.
03:31The Sikh temple, the Sikh temple kun gharpa and the Sikh temple must continue to come with.
03:37Habab Rui Sarjani, Allahλomati Rumani Laige Vinayas request
03:40Oh
04:10Guru Nanak's parents were Hindus.
04:15They belonged to a caste of merchants, the Khatri.
04:18From childhood, he was fascinated by what pertains to faith and spirit, and he often
04:23went to the riverbanks to meditate.
04:26Guru Nanak also showed an unusual readiness for learning.
04:30After a spiritual, fusional experiment with the essence of all things, he composed a mystical
04:36poem, the Japji.
04:39As a fervent critic of the caste system, Guru Nanak also opposed all kinds of discrimination
04:45between men and women, religions and ethnicities.
04:48He considered religion to be the link to unite men.
04:52He traveled extensively all over India and in many neighboring countries like Nepal, Tibet
04:58and Sri Lanka.
04:59He then began a long journey to the heart of the Muslim world, taking the paths of Mecca
05:04to Mesopotamia, via Persia, and ending in Afghanistan.
05:20We are in Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Nanak.
05:26Since the partition of India in 1947, it is very difficult for the Sikhs to access their
05:31places of worship.
05:32A specific phrase has also been added to prayer.
05:40May God allow us to return to Nankana Sahib freely and all the other temples in which we
05:45once prayed.
05:46May God grant us this prayer.
05:48We recite this prayer for all Sikhs to be able to come here.
05:51When I was young, I lived in Afghanistan.
05:54For us, Nankana Sahib was a holy place.
05:58It must retain this international scope.
06:00Everyone has heard about it.
06:02This is a very important place.
06:05The Gurdwara still retains the scars of past conflicts.
06:08Formerly, all religions were managed by the Brahmins.
06:12In 1920, under British command, the Sikhs claimed the independence of their religion.
06:17Hindus opposed it on the grounds that they were the major guarantors of faith.
06:20Forty Sikhs came to Nankana Sahib to liberate the temple from the grip of Hindu priests.
06:26Many of them died here.
06:27The Sikh leader was tied to a tree by the hair, and then burned alive.
06:30Today the symbol of these martyrs is still in the middle of the courtyard.
06:34It is said that the Sikhs returned every Sunday for a year, until they reclaimed the independence
06:38of all their temples.
06:39Because Guru Nanak Dev Ji said that we should love everyone, we need to open a public school
06:57for everyone so that Christian, Muslim and Sikh children alike can come here to learn.
07:01The only thing we have to ask is, what is a true Muslim, a true Christian, a true Hindu?
07:22One must be a true believer and especially believe in mankind above the rest.
07:37For us the most important thing is that the children who come to us receive an education
07:42and become good people.
07:49When you come to Nankana Sahib, come visit us in the school.
07:53You will see how we Sikhs have established the link with the blessing of Guru Nanak.
08:00Thanks to you, thanks to all the donations you send and all your prayers.
08:05We will show you around the classrooms.
08:19When we opened the school, there were only five classes, and today we have 40 rooms for
08:24the teachers and everything is self-financed.
08:28We try to educate them to become good people.
08:58We walk right now.
09:00We go.
09:01We will need to know that.
09:02Goodbye.
09:20First of all, the wisdom of Guru Ji comes to Vaheghuru Ji.
09:22Firstly, we would like to point out that Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born here.
09:35This is Guru Nanak Dev Ji's land.
09:37The Sikh religion, holy book, and scriptures all started here.
09:42Guru Nanak spread religion in the Iron Age and helped set men on the path of righteousness.
09:48Those who followed the path propagated by him were never affected by vices.
09:52Nanak Rai was born into the Bedi clan, and he brought comfort to all his disciples, helping
09:57them at every possible moment.
10:01Guru Nanak Dev Ji created the Sikh religion, and he is the founder.
10:06The birthplace was here, at Nankana Sahib.
10:12And Kartapur, where we went, that's where Guru Nanak Dev Ji died.
10:22Guru Dev Ajang Ji, who became a martyr in Lahore, this is also in Pakistan.
10:33In Pakistan, in my opinion, there are about 300 temples that are related to the Sikh religion.
10:41And as there was the partition in 1947, the Sikhs have requested this prayer be added.
10:52May God allow us to return to Nankana Sahib freely, and all the other temples in which
10:57we once prayed, may God grant us this prayer.
11:15In Hindi, the meaning of Punjab is the land of five rivers, a rich agricultural land.
11:24This region, having been considered to be the breadbasket of India, now includes nearly 150
11:30million inhabitants.
11:33Since independence and the partition in 1947, Punjab was divided between Pakistan and India.
11:43The only existing land crossing on the border between the two countries is at Wagga, a Punjabi
11:48town located halfway between Lahore and Amrstar.
11:52The Pakistani Punjab represents 60% of the territory of historic Punjab.
11:58It now accounts for more than half of the people in Pakistan.
12:02This region has great cultural influence, and its economic domination is thanks to its large
12:07irrigation system.
12:24In the 19th century, Lahore was the capital of the Sikh kingdom.
12:28This is where the Maharaja Ranjit Singh ruled his empire.
12:32When the Maharaja took over Lahore, he knew that Guru Arjan was tortured and murdered in
12:37this place.
12:39Maharaja Ranjit Singh built a temple in honor of the fifth Guru.
12:57Therefore, we still see today the fort and the Sikh temple at his feet.
13:04Sitting on his throne, he received visitors.
13:07Knowing that his Guru was martyred here, Maharaja Ranjit Singh demanded at his death that a mausoleum
13:14be built there, so that he rests in peace at the Guru's feet.
13:18The
13:24Williams
13:30He
13:33was
13:35Maharaja Ranjit Singh ruled Pakistan.
14:02It was a great kingdom.
14:04He undertook many constructions.
14:08He ruled the Punjab and was a Sikh king.
14:11He had a lot of love in his heart for Sikhism.
14:15He renovated the temples.
14:18Construction public works were offset against his own funds.
14:21Maharaja Ranjit Singh also served the Sikh religion and temples, too.
14:27Sikhs come once a year to his mausoleum to honor him.
14:29His son lies opposite him.
14:33Maharaja Ranjit Singh also served the Sikh religion and temples, too.
14:40Sikhs come once a year to his mausoleum to honor him.
14:43His son lies opposite him.
14:46Maharaja Ranjit Singh also served the Sikh religion.
14:50So, a lot of Gurdwari's teachings have been served in Punjab.
14:55Many Gurdwari's teachings have been served in Punjab.
14:59M
15:29Although at present we see the frescoes are damaged, they tell us stories about the kingdom
15:45and extol the feats of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
15:50The Sikhs were so feared by their successors that the original faces were erased so that
15:55no trace of the grandeur and opulence of the kingdom remains.

16:23It is within the walls of this building that the fifth guru became a martyr.
16:53The fifth guru became a martyr.
17:23The story goes that he was tortured and then, wanting to take a last swim, he disappeared
17:32forever into the riverbed.
17:36At the heart of this temple that looks abandoned, you can almost follow the last moments of the
17:40guru step by step, from the jail where the guru was tortured to the stairs that led
17:46to the river.
17:49The guru, Grant Sahib, the spiritual and temporal symbol, rests at his feet.
18:40Pakistan was born in 1947, but Sikhs have always had a very strong attachment to the land.
18:49The people gathered here to celebrate the birthday of Guru Nanak.
18:53Formerly in Kartapur, where Guru Nanak Dev Ji died, the Visaki festival was celebrated.
18:59This is the reason why Sikhs have a strong bond with this land.
19:06We are in the Sikh neighborhood of Lahore.
19:08The original temple turned into a mosque two years ago was the scene of the persecutions the Sikhs suffered throughout the ages.
19:18In 1745, the Mughals beheaded Bai Taru Singh here in Naulaka Bazar and regained power.
19:26Sikh women became prisoners who were forced to grind wheat to make flour.
19:29We still see the mortars today.
19:31More recently, in 1947 after independence, Sikh women were imprisoned during the renewed reprisals organized by Muslims.
19:40Rather than becoming sexual prey, they preferred to be thrown in the well.
19:49Hari Singh Nalwa was a ruthless general who became governor of Kashmir
19:54and was the commander-in-chief of the Khalsa, the army of the Sikh Empire.
20:01The Sikh Empire

20:06Hari Singh Nalwa
20:08Hari Singh Nalwa was responsible for the expansion of the border of the Sikh Empire to beyond the Hindus,
20:15until the orifice of Khyber Pass, which he held for 50 years.
20:20Hari Singh Nalwa was responsible for the expansion of the border of the Sikh Empire to beyond the Hindus,
20:27until the orifice of Khayber Pass, which he held for 50 years.
20:30of Khyber Pass which he held for 50 years. As he was known as a great
20:35strategist, the British did their best to copy his tactical genius to later
20:40defend the Khyber Pass.
20:50Built in the 16th century in a canyon, the Rotas Fort is located on the old road
20:56from Afghanistan to the Punjab Plains. Spanning over 12 hectares, it could house
21:01up to 30,000 men. It controlled the road between Peshawar and Lauer. Today it is
21:09still well-preserved, though some parts are declining due to lack of maintenance.
21:26Hari Singh Nalua lived modestly. Reinforcements were built around his house. It is said that the Afghan
21:40leader had sent a princess in an attempt to seduce Hari Singh Nalua. Arriving at his home,
21:46she undressed, but Singh Nalua had not even glanced at her. After a quarter of an hour,
21:52she put her clothes back on, returned to Kabul and said,
21:56This man is incorruptible. He can only be defeated by weapons.
22:00Many temples remained here in 1947.
22:07Many temples remained here in 1947.
22:29The birth of the Guru remained here.
22:33Our lands have remained here.
22:35Many Sikhs were murdered, they were forced to abandon their land, they left everything.
22:46But their hearts remained here in Pakistan.
22:51Today, relations are good, so everyone can come and visit, from England, France.
22:59The entire service is provided by Sikhs, even though officially Pakistan manages all.
23:05The Japanese obey the Sikhs.
23:16This police station was once a temple.
23:19We have good relations.
23:21Many people can come in pilgrimage here.
23:24Germany, England, France, England, Canada, America, Hindustan, and also the people of the Guru.
23:35The Sikhs also have been established by the Sikhs.
23:37The Sikhs also have been established by the Sikhs.
23:39The Sikhs also have been established by the Sikhs.
23:41The Sikhs are the Sikhs.
23:42The Sikhs are the Greek people of the Sikhs.
23:44The Sikhs are the true to me.
23:45Then they have to be taught by the Sikhs and their teachers.
23:47It is being an American Buddhist.
23:48In this sense, many of the Sikhs are done by the Sikhs.
23:51The Sikhs have been done by the Sikhs.
23:52Most of the Sikhs were done by the Sikhs.
23:54This is a part of the Sikhs.
23:55The Sikhs are staying in Pakistan and Hinduis.
23:58The Sikhs are through theIOs.
24:00There are many people here in the darshana.
25:00In Pakistan, where there was shelling, all Sikhs fled and arrived in Peshawar.
25:05Hundreds of families.
25:07Everyone in diaspora took care of them.
25:10They found them work, even those abroad, as in England.
25:13There is a real solidarity.
25:16That's the blessing of Guru Nanak.
25:19Sikhs have blind faith in their Guru.
25:21Work hard and share everything you have and pray.
25:25When you do that, God will see your efforts and in the end reward you.
25:28In the history of Pakistan, you will find Sikhs everywhere.
25:33You will never find a Sikh beggar.
25:36The Sikhs are hard workers, even if the land no longer belongs to them.
25:42They are going to do trade, commerce or something else, but not sit there idly.
25:47You will never see a lazy Sikh or someone left behind.
25:50They're going to do theirisions.
26:04Then they will disappear.
26:04The Sikhs are hard that didn't die.
26:07Oh
26:37Beyond the stereotypes conveyed by the Western media, Peshawar is not a giant training camp for jihadis looking for a pristine paradise populated by lustful virgins.
27:03With 1.4 million inhabitants, Peshawar is the capital of the province of Khyber-Pektunkwa and the tribal areas.
27:19Formerly, it was an important cultural center and is one of the oldest cities of the country.
27:24We eat, we work, we laugh, and we live here.
27:29The many shops and markets present in the city center are the witness to the past splendor of this ancient trading hub.
27:36Also, at any street corner, if one has not invited us to tea, it is easier to fall upon a market or children running rather than falling upon a fundamentalist.
27:47Sikhs present in Peshawar and in the kingdom of Maharaja Ranjit Singh come from several autonomous regions of Pakistan.
28:05Like the Afghans, they speak Pashto.
28:08Pakistani Gurdawas do not have just a simple religious function, but they are linked to the history of the Sikh people.
28:15The Sikh religion was born of two desires.
28:18One which breaks apart from the caste system and Hindu superstitions, and the second to break free from the intolerance of Islam.
28:26When visiting the temple, Sikhs bow in front of the Guru Granth Sahib before sitting down on the ground to pray.
28:35The Gurus did not want to see their portraits glorified in place of God.
28:39Only the holy texts are sacred.
28:42They do not bow to any idols.
28:45The transmission of Sikh spirituality was through oral memory and stories up until the fourth Guru.
28:52The whole philosophy was collected and transcribed by the fifth Guru in one volume, the Adi Grant.
28:59Until then, Sikhs advocated pacifism, but they were forced to rebel against the ruler of the time.
29:06Guru Hargumind became the sixth Guru following the martyrdom of his father.
29:12He is the founder of the Miri Principle, a temporal power, and of the Piri Principle, a spiritual power, symbolized by its two swords.
29:23It was also he who gave the name Singh, meaning lion, to all Sikh men, and made all women princesses with the name Kaur.
29:33One century later, the tenth and last Guru organized the Sikhs into an army
29:39in response to the sense of injustice caused by the murder of his father.
29:43He created the Khalsa, the chivalric order of Sikhs in 1699, and gave them the five signs of recognition.
29:51The Kis. One does not cut their hair. Hair is tied up in a knot and covered with a turban.
29:58The Kenga. A wooden comb always tied into the hair as a symbol and hygienic tool.
30:04The Kashira. Sikh undergarment used as minimum clothing.
30:09The Kara. Iron or steel bracelet worn on the right wrist that protects the wrist and symbolizes restriction or restraint in any deed.
30:19The Kirpan. A sword worn over the shoulder.
30:25Despite the difficulties they face in the world, Sikhs continue to practice their religion no matter what.
30:38That is the example of Peshawar. Sikhs are very brave and very rich.
30:43The management of the temple is supported by businessmen from Lahore.
30:46It is they who make donations, and when Pakistanis cannot make them, for any reason, Sikhs are committed to doing so.
30:54Pleasure andleans
31:16Serving the Sikh religion cannot be reduced to a simple financial contribution.
31:19It is a duty for a Sikh to participate in community service.
31:24They must join in and do work themselves.
31:27For example, helping in the langar,
31:30the free canteen where everyone eats on the ground.
31:33It is the guru symbol for fighting against the separation of castes.
31:38In the temple, no matter if one is an entrepreneur or artisan,
31:43all Sikhs are equal.
31:45The food part is very important.
31:48Sikhs are vegetarians.
31:50They do not take the life of another animal for food.
32:14Before the Gurdwara in Peshawar,
32:16as in the rest of the world,
32:18children play.
32:20Boys run, do acrobatics,
32:22girls discuss and share sweets.
32:24music plays
36:06A crossing path of Guru Nanak is the Panaya Sahib Temple, located at Hassan Abdaal in northern Punjab.
36:32It is said that Guru Nanak had taught a thirsty disciple what perseverance was by sending
36:40him to look three times for water, in which he was refused every time.
36:46So Guru Nanak stopped a hurtling rock with his hand along a slope, while threatening
36:50to crush his disciple, and then he brought forth water out from this rock.
36:55The disciple was then able to quench his thirst and learn the lesson of humility with his Guru.
37:06Outside in a niche above a basin, there is an imprint of his hand in the rock.
37:18This was the one who dropped his hand in the rock.
37:28The music is the one who dropped his hand in the rock.
37:34The music was the one who dropped his hand in the rock.
37:43Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born in November 1469 and then lived with his sister.
37:59He lived there for 70 years.
38:08In 1539 he arrived in Kartippur and it is there that he died in the month of September.
38:38After several years traveling the world, Nanak gathered a community of which he is the Guru,
39:01that is, the spiritual master. He founded the village of Kartippur, or the city of the Creator.
39:07Their daily life is based on a simple life close to nature.
39:12Guru Nanak remained in Kartippur until the end of his life, in 1535.
39:17Although he had children, he had appointed one of his disciples as his successor shortly before his death.
39:23A Muslim writer wrote that he didn't say that he did not say that he did not say that he did not say that he did not say that he did not say that he did not say that he did not say that.
39:32The poets say that in the house of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the poor are considered kings.
39:41The primary mission of Guru Nanak Dev Ji was that man should be clean, holy, regardless of religion.
39:49A Muslim should be a true Muslim. A Hindu, a true Hindu. A Sikh, a true Sikh.
39:56Everyone loved Guru Nanak Dev Ji because of this.
39:59Sikh means faithful.
40:04A Muslim should be a Muslim. A Hindu should be a Muslim.
40:07One of his followers was Hindu. The other was his childhood friend. That's where he left.
40:18When he left, they never found his body. They simply found the veil that surrounded him.
40:24Muslims say this man is a Muslim and Sikhs said no, he is Sikh.
40:31Finally, the veil was cut in half. Sikhs buried him here and Muslims at the exit under the flagstone.
40:39Muslims still come to offer prayers, to fulfill vows.
40:43The people of Pakistan are very fond of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Those in India have built a mound of earth in order to watch the temple on the other side of the border.
40:54Some here have been forced to convert to Islam but are still Sikhs in their hearts.
40:59Guru Nanak Dev Ji is a Muslim.
41:14So now Thank you to be heard of it.
41:27Okay so I am
41:41I
41:43Anyone can come to a Sikh temple to pray.
42:03Even today a Muslim can be invited to sing in the Gordarwa.
42:13Here, this is a holy place.
42:41Come!
42:43We Sikhs have very old ties with the land.
42:46Every day we pray for this place.
42:49Come see how people live happily and peacefully.
42:56Guru Nanak Dev Ji has given us a great blessing.
43:02All those who ask to come here, may Guru Nanak Dev Ji grant them this prayer.
43:07That is my vow.
43:13It has been said that wherever one goes, Guru Nanak Dev Ji is with us.
43:22This is where Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born, where he played, he walked on this land.
43:28It is not known where exactly, but he was there.
43:32This is holy ground for us.
43:37You have to come here and let people know that Sikhs have not given up on the land.
43:45Wherever one goes in the villages, Pakistanis come to us.
43:49They welcome us.
43:51And they offer us food and drink.
43:58People like us very much.
44:01Whether in politics or elsewhere, there have always been good relations between Sikhs and
44:05Muslims.
45:00At the end of the day, the grantee accompanied Guru Grant Sahib to his bedroom.
45:20The priest changed his clothing for the night and prayed.
45:22They perfumed the bed, closed the shutters, and drew the curtains.
45:52The priest changed his clothing for the night and waited for the night and waited for the night and waited for the night and waited for the night.
46:10The priest changed his clothing for the night and waited for the night and waited for the night.
