MATA SAHIB KAUR JI - SPIRITUAL MOTHER OF THE KHALSA PANTH

Mata Sahib Kaur is the last and thirteenth spouse of the Sikh Gurus’ household. Mata Sahib Kaur holds an unique place in the history of the Sikh Women, Sikh Gurus’ spouses and of the Sikh Guru’s families. Some historians have described Mata Sahib Kaur as the unmarried bride.This is a very extraordinary marital relationship with Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Sahib Ji Maharaj.In the annals of world history there is no other woman but Mata Sahib Kaur Ji who has such an extraordinary marriage nor is there anyone who has been blessed as being the spiritual mother of the Khalsa Panth.The history of the Sikh Gurus’ spouses have not been recorded and hence historians have access only to incomplete facts. Mata Sahib Kaur Ji’s history is available in all historical Sikh manuscripts but unfortunately there are many controversies. The controversies involve Mata Ji’s birth date, her parents, her marriage with Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji, Mata Ji putting sugar candy into the the Amrit prepared by Guru Gobind Singh Ji whilst initiating Sikhs into Khalsa on the historical day of Vaisakhi 1699.

Bha Kahn Singh Nabha mentions in Mahan Kosh that Mata Sahib Kaur Ji’s father was Rama Basi and she was born in Rohtas. In Gur Pratap Sooraj Prakash, Bhai Santokh Singh states Bhai Rawa to be the father of Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.Bhai Karam Singh historian states that her father’s name was Ram Khatri and he was a trader in Rohtas.Giani Hari Singh Ji writes in his book “Mata Sahib Kaur” that Mata Sahib Kaur took birth on the 18^th of Kattak, 1738, a Wednesday morning in the ambrosial hours of dawn. He writes that she was born to Mata Jasdevi and father Bhai Ramoo at Rohtas Nagar, district Jhelum, Pakistan. He adds that Mata Ji was named as Mata Sahib Devi by the Sadh sangat but after taking Amrit was renamed Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandhak Committee ,Shri Amritsar mentions that that the third marriage of Guru Gobind Singh Ji took place with Mata Sahib Devi, daughter of Shri Ram Busi Khatri of Rohtas.in 1757.There is no mention of the birthdate of Mata Ji.

Bhai Karam Singh historian gives details about the birth and history of her parents.

He adds in his writing “Guru Ki Mahal” that “Bhai Rama Khatri was a trader of Rohtas. He was issueless but had all worldy pleasures.He accompanied the sangat of Pothohar in their pilgrimage to Shri Anandpur Sahib in 1736.He made an offering of of Karah Parshad before Guru Sahib Ji and requested Guru Ji that he blessed with an issue and he would issue that offspring to your service. Guru Ji smiled and promised him that his wish would be fulfilled. “Guru Ka Mahal” mentions that when Bhai Rama Ji requested Guru Gobind Singh Ji that his daughter was born with the blessings of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and so it should be that she be married to Guru Gobind Singh Ji. This request brought a wave of happiness in the Sadh Sangat and Guru Ji’s household. Thereafter the new born daughter was known as Mata Ji. When a son was born unto Bhai Rama Ji, he was named Bhai Sahib Rai. After baptism with Amrit, Bhai Sahib Rai was renamed Bhai Sahib Singh and Mata Sahib Dewi as Mata Sahib Kaur.

The above is correct according to pothi Gur Bilas Sakhi 100 (page326). Historians have suggested that Mata Ji was full of all virtues. She had a very beautiful physical appearance.She was sweetly spoken, humble,very patient .She was admired by both the Sikh congregation .

Giani Hari Singh Chandigarh, gives mention of Mata Sahib Deva’s childhood: “Sahib Deva learned Punjabi script in her early days.She learned Gurbani and History of the Sikhs in her childhood.When she recited Gurbani in Sadhsangat, it left the sadhsangat amazed.She did not waste time in idle talk but spent her time wisely serving the Guru and doing Gurbani Paath.

All historians agree that Mata Sahib Devan became the spouse of Guru Gobind Singh Ji in1702.In the first part of the Sikh History it is mentioned that after the demise 0f Mata Jito Ji in 1757 the father of Mata Sahib Devan requested Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Accept the hand of his daughter in marriage as he had already surrendered her to Guru Ji since her birth and that she would remain unmarried if Guru Ji did not accept her as her spouse.Guru Sahib Ji told him that Guru Gobind Singh Ji had now vowed to serve the country and to uphold righteousness .Guru Ji accepted her on the condition that he would have no marital relations with Mata Sahib Devan .Guru Ji said that her marriage with Guru Ji would be a binding of Souls rather than two bodies.This is why Sikh and Non-Sikh historians have described this marriage as the unmarried bride.

Historians have made a mistake by saying that Mata Sahib Kaur placed patashas in the vessel containing Amrit.This is clearly incorrect as Mata Sahib Kaur got married one year after the First Amrit Sinchar in 1699.

Kavi Sainapat states that when Guru Gobind Singh Ji departed for Deccan, he reached Rajputana.

After Mata Ji was accepted as the spouse of Guru Gobind Singh ji, her daily duty was to take blessed vision of her Husband Guru Gobind Singh Ji before she partook food.She kept to this practice until Guru Ji evacuated the Fort of Anandpur Sahib in 1704 and his family was separated into two bands on the River Sirsa.If any day passed when she could not have darshan of Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, she would remain without food and water. Mata Sahib Kaur felt great happiness on serving her mother-in-law Mata Gujri Ji and other Gursikhs. Mata Ji treated Mata Sundri Ji as her

elder sister. Mata Sahib Kaur’s face was always radiant.Mata Sahib Kaur was the youngest daughter in law of Mata Gujri and was loved very much.

Mata Sahib Kaur was declared as the eEernal Mother of the Khalsa Panth by Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji Maharaj. Dr. Harbans Singh Chawla writes that Mata Sahib Kaur once begged Guru Gobind Singh Ji for offspring and Guru Ji declared the whole of The Khalsa Panth as the creation of Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.Guru Ji declared that that Khalsa would be the everlasting son of Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.Some writers acclaim this declaration to be made by Guru Ji at Anandpur Sahib, some at Delhi, some at Talwandi Sabo and some at Damdama Sahib.But is difficult to put a time and date to this happening.”

Giani Hari Singh Chandigarh writes that this happening took place at Anandpur Sahiband as follows: “ Mata Kaur Ji entered the court of Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and clung to the feet of Guru Ji and started weeping. Guru Ji asked Mata Ji what the cause was.She replied that I am longing for a son. Guru Ji said that from now onwards each Amritdhari Sikh will have the honour of having Mata Sahib Kaur Ji as its Mother. Guru Ji replied that his spiritual Son the Khalsa shall be everlasting and so shall its mother, Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. Guru Ji added that I have put Khalsa Panth under the protection of its Mother, Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. On hearing the orders of Guru Gobind Singh Ji the Sangat shouted Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akaal and prayed that until the Khalsa Panth existed it would be pampered by the love of its Spiritual Mother Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.Thereafter and til this very day, new Khalsa initiates at the Amrit Ceremony are ordered by the Five Beloved Ones to accept Guru Gobind Singh Ji as their spiritual father and Mata Sahib Kaur as their Spiritual mother and that they are descendents of Shri Anadpur Sahib Ji.

In 1704, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji evacuated the fort of Anadpur Sahib and reached the River Sirsa. Both wives of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Mata Sahib Kaur and Mata Sundari Ji managed to cross the flooded River Sirsa with the aid of Gursikhs. Bhai Dhana Ji requested Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji for service and Guru Ji entrusted him with the duty of the safe escort of Mata Sundari Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji to Ropar for the night and for them to be escoted by cart to Delhi the next morning accompanied by Bhai Mani Singh Ji.

The writer of Gur Pranali, Kavi Gulab Singh writes that both wives of Guru Gobind Singh Ji on reaching Delhi stayed with a GurSikh in Pandit Koocha Pipl wali Gali and then near Ajmeri Gate koocha Dilwali Singh. Sikhs flocked to gain a glimpse of the Matas .The Matas of Guru Ji required open space for their stay and so the Sikhs of Delhi purchased some land for their stay outside the four gates of Delhi,outside Turkman Gate. A fortress of redstone was built for the wives of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The Guru’s wives stayed in this fort for the following forty years .A magnificent Shrine in their memory stands there today- Gurdwara Mata Sundari Ji. They guided the Khalsa Panth from this very place in times of High and Low.When they heard that their Husband Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji had been victorious in the Battle of Mukatsar and had departed for Shri Damdama Sahib, they accompanied by Bhai Mani Singh left Delhi for Damdama Sahib to take a glimpse of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji. Guru Ji told them of the Martyrdom of the Four Sahibzadas and this brought tears to the eyes of Mata Sundari Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.Guru Ji consoled them and told them that the Four Sahibzadas were the property of God himself and he himself has called them to their eternal home.

Mata Sahib Kaur Ji wished to stay with Guru Gobind Singh sahib Ji but Guru Ji told them return to Delhi.Both Mata Ji’s left for Delhi

With the help of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji, Bahadur Shah ascended the throne of Delhi. Guru Ji was honoured by the Emperor himself .In compensation for the heavy losses suffered by Guru Ji at Anandpur Sahib, Seven Lakh Rupees were offered to Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji. Guru Ji turned down this offer on the condition that the enemies of the Sikh Gurus be punished first and that the common people be heard to.

Some historical evidence suggests that Bhai Nand Lal Ji, Bhai Mani Singh Ji, Mata Sundar Kaur,decided to accept this amount .Half of the amount was given to the Sikh army, and some to the adopted son of Mata Sundar Kaur, Ajit Singh. Guru Gobind Singh Ji was displeased about this. Dr Ganda Singh writes that on examining the Hukamnamas it seems as if Guru Gobind Singh sahib Ji wanted to return to Shri Anandpur Sahib Ji.

When Guru Gobind Singh Ji decided to leave for Deccan accompaniedby Bahadur Shah, Mata Sahib Kaur begged Guru Gobind Singh Ji to take her with him so that in his company and by listening to his sweet utterings she would gain self containment and emancipation.Guru Ji ordered Mata Sahib Kaur to accompany him to Deccan whilst he instructed Mata Sundar Kaur Ji to reside in Delhi.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji camped at Nanded. Guru Gobind Singh Ji got made a separate camp for Mata Sahib Kaur where she could meditate upon the Supreme Lord in total peace.

When Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji saw that his earthly existence was coming to an end he decided to bestow eternal Guruship on Sahib Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Mata Sahib Kaur was an eyewitness to this declaration by Guru Ji. Guru Gobind Singh Ji instructed Mata Sahib Kaur Ji to join Mata Sundari in Delhi and to Guide the Khalsa Panth in all walks. Mata Sahib Kaur told Guru Ji that after you descend with your physical form to Sachkhand, I will not be able to live because seeing your glimpse is my food. Guru Ji presented to Mata Sahib Kaur Five weapons and told her that through the worship of these weapons together with that of Sahib Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji she would receive the Glimpse of Guru Ji. .Bhai Santokh Singh says that Guru Gobind Singh Sahib presented Five Shastars and presented them to Mata Sahib Kaur and asked her to worship them.The glimpse of these weapons is a glimpse of my own form.

Giani Hari Singh of Chandigarh writes that Guru Ji ordered two palanquins. Of one of which he placed the Fiveweapons and into the second he seated Mata Sahib Kaur.On the sangrand of Chet 1765 Mata Sahib Kaur Ji saw the last Divine of Guru Gobind Singh Ji in his earthly form.

Bhai Santokh Singh Ji in his famous works “Sooraj Prakash Granth” mentions that in 1804(1747) Mata Sahib Kaur told Mata Sundari ji that she was nearing the end of her earthly existence and that she was leaving her body to reunite with her husband Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.Her last wish was that her last rites be created at the holy place of sahib Shri Guru Harkrishan Sahib Ji at Gurdwara Bala Sahib Ji.
