Remembering Ishmeet Singh

S.Ishmeet Singh (Sept. 02,1988~ July 29,2008)

Ishmeet Singh,winner of the "Amul Star Voice of India-2007" award (One of the Reality show of Indian TV) was a very soft spoken upcoming singer.

He did his schoolings from Guru Nanak Public School,Sarabha Nagar,Ludhiana (Punjab,India) & was doing his Bachelor's Degree study from MNC College Mumbai when the tragic incident of drowning in a swimming pool took his life on July 29,2008.

He was 19 & had gone to Maldives to participate in a stage show along with other "Amul Star Voice of India" contestants.

His aim was to complete C.A.Studies and singing was his passion.

He learn singing from Principal Sukhwant Singh of Gur Shabad Sangeet Academy,Jawaddi Taksaal Ludhiana Punjab India.

His First Religious Gurbani Album is "Satgur Tumre kaaj Saware".

Dewali OR Bandi Chhor Diwas

Sain Mian Mir and Wazir Khan (Governor of Lahore) approached Emperor Jahangir on behalf of Guru Hargobind Sahib (the 6th Guru Nanak) and secured the releasing orders. When Guru Sahib met Jahangir immediately after his release, he insisted upon Jahangir for the release of other fifty-two Hindu Princes on his personal surety (These Princes were said to be the rebellious ones).

The request was obliged and all the prisoners were released in 1612.

Then the title of "Bandi Chhor Baba" was given to Guru Hargobind Sahib and is still remembered by this name.

From Gwalior (where Guru ji was imprisoned) Guru Sahib reached Amritsar on the occasion of Dewali. This was a big occasion for the Sikhs. It is said that Baba Budha Ji littered the earthen lamps throughout the Amritsar city.

The Sikhs celebrated this occasion enthusiastically. From this day the Sikh Nation began to celebrate Dewali festival as " Bandi Chhor Diwas " also.

Now the attitude of Jahangir and his empire towards Guru Sahib changed considerably and remained favorable and friendly till his death.
