Mata Sahib Kaur Ji | Mothers of the Panth | By Bibi Gurprit Kaur

Sangat Ji, today I am going to tell you about my mother.

Who is also your mother.

I am going to speak about Mata Sahib Kaur Ji,

who is the mother, the spiritual mother of Khalsa Panth.

Mata Sahib Kaur Ji from a very, very young age,

she has been devoted to Sikhi and to Guru Gobind Singh Ji

and no one could understand why.

From a very young age,
she could memorise Japji Sahib,

she started doing a lot of Simran and

starting memorising countless other teachings as well.

And she would always speak about
Guru Gobind Singh Ji,

and she would always dream about
Guru Gobind Singh Ji as well.

The time even came, such, where the villagers
in her village started calling her Mata Ji,

because at a very young age
she portrayed those virtues, those attributes

that a young woman, that a lady,
a Mata Ji would have.

So with respect they started calling
her Mata Ji as well.

Now Mata Sahib Deva Ji when
she came of age to get married,

she told her parents
I will only get married to Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

And even her parent say that
for someone like Mata Sahib Deva Ji,

there is no one else but Guru Gobind Singh Ji
who could get married to her,

or who is compatible to her as well.

Because as a woman, her wishes, her desires
are not of the worldly ones,

but of the spiritual ones.

And there is no man here
who could be compatible to her.

Only Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

So her parents went to Guru Gobind Singh Ji

and did Benti that please take
my daughter's hand in marriage

and get married to her.

But at that point Guru Gobind Singh Ji
say that I am already married

and now I have become Brahamchari,
where I have renounced all the physical relationship

of a household and now I am only
focused on the panthic matters.

So I can't get married to your daughter.

And Mata Sahib Deva Ji parents say that
she only thinks about you,

she only looks up to you and
she will not get married to anyone else yourself
