A Singh in a village of Punjab was devastated after his mother was diagnosed with last stage of cancer. He sought advice from various places and then came across a person with immense knowledge of herbal treatments. He took the advice and grew organic form of a special type of wheat.

The special wheat grass was grown with nontoxic soil at was cut at approximately 6 inches. The process is to next extract juice from the grass by beating it in a bowl or using a juicing machine.

The Singh says the juice extracted from the organic wheat grass cured his mother from the deadly cancer. He says the miracle plant also cures many other life threatening diseases.

He went onto say that the plant doesn’t have any side effects and should be used as an alternative form of medicine.

Wheatgrass juice is an effective healer because it contains all minerals known to man, and vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, l and K. It is extremely rich in protein, and contains 17 amino acids, the building blocks of protein. 3. Wheatgrass juice contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important blood builder.

Among other things wheatgrass juice is particularly high in chlorophyll. Wheatgrass cleanses and builds the blood due to its high content of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the first product of light and therefore contains more healing properties than any other element. All life on this planet comes from the sun. Only green plants can transform the sun’s energy into chlorophyll through the process of photosynthesis. . Chlorophyll is known as the ‘life-blood’ of the plants. This important phytonutrient is what your cells need to heal and to thrive. Drinking wheatgrass juice is like drinking liquid sunshine.

Chlorophyll carries high levels of oxygen (among other things) which is especially powerful in assisting the body to restore abnormalities. The high content of oxygen in chlorophyll helps deliver more oxygen to the blood. We see red blood cell counts rise and blood oxygen levels rise very quickly with the regular drinking of wheatgrass juice and using wheatgrass juice implants. This marker is a key indicator of health recovery for abnormalities, ailments and disease. Oxygen is vital to many body processes, especially for the brain which uses 25% of the oxygen supply. This high oxygen helps support a healthy body.

The Cancer Tutor says:

“If we look at oxygen as a bullet to kill cancer cells, then we should look at wheatgrass as a shotgun blast at treating cancer. (1) The number of ways it deals with cancer is incredible. First of all, it contains chlorophyll, which has almost the same molecular structure as hemoglobin.

When his own sons turned their back, How Bhai Lehna Ji was always available at Service for his master, Guru Nanak Dev Ji

ONce Guru Nanak Had collected three bundles of grass for his cows and Bufaaloes and He desired to have them taken home. The grass was wet and Muddy . Since no on was willing for the task, The guru asked his sons Sri Chand and Lakshmi Das to carry the Bundles. They too evaded the duty, saying that labourer could do the job. Lehna, Who had just arrived there bowed before the Guru and Said Most Humbly, “Consider me as you labourer and give this job to do.”

The Guru said he might take as many as his strength permitted. Lehna, gathering strength from his enthusisasm and Devotion to guruji, Picked up all the bundles and walked towards Guru Nanak’s House.

On Reaching home, The Guru’s Wife asked him : “Is it proper for you to impose such menial labour on a guest and soil his new Clothes ?”

See , From head to toe, he is dripping with muddy water !”

The Guru replied,”This is not mud but saffron of God’s Court which marketh the elect.” ON Looking again, the Guru’s wife observed that the mud on Lehna’s Clothes had really changed to saffron!

On another Occasion, Guru Nanak dev ji Sent for his sons at the dead of night and asked them to was his soiled clothes. His sons Protested in a chorus,” There is no water around. Even if we manage to wash your clothes. How are they ever going to dry at this unearthly hour ?”

Guru Nanak Dev ji Repeated his request. His sons replied Indifferently, “At the break of day, we shall have your lothes delivered to the washerman to was. Why don’t you wear a new set of clothes until then ?”

The Guru made the same request to Lehnaji. He at once set about doing the assigned task with all sincerity. Early next morning he presented his master with clean, washed and dried clothes,,.

One winter night it poured so heavily that a part of the wall of the Guru’s House collapsed. Around Midnight he asked his sons to repair it. They Said, “It is dark and bitterly cold. Besided , it is not our job to build or repair wall. Tommorrow morning we shall summon mason and Labourers to do the work. ”

the Guru said to his sons, “Since it is the Guru’s work.,it must only be don by his sikhs; and it must be done immediately without any further delay.”

Lehnaji, who happened to be standing next to the Guruji, offered his services. He started building the wall. when he was nearly half way through, the Guru said that the wall was not straight. He asked him to demolish the half built wall and build it again. Lehnaji obeyed his master and started rebuilding the wall with utmost care. But the Guru was still not satisfied. He had to putt it down once more. This carried on several times. The Guru’s own songs tried to discourage Lehnaji agains this task assigned to him. They Said, “You can never please him. Give up the work.”

But Lehnaji said,”A servant musd do his mater’s work. It is of the master to decide what work he should assign to his servant…….”

Guru Nanak Dev ji used to get up early every morning to bathe in the river Ravi. Lehnaji would go along with him and sit near the Guru’s Clothes while he bathed . By now Guru Nanak dev ji had become so fond of him that he had come to be known as Baba Lehna. Some of the Guru’s disciples had become jealous of baba Lehna, One day three of these jealous Sikhs decided to do what Baba Lehna was doing for the Guru. They Thought this would please their master.

It was a cold dark morning . The sky was overcast and Soon it began to hail. The Three sikhs could not bear the chill and returned home. But baba Lehna waited for the Guru to step out of the river. When Guru Nanak dev ji reached the bank of the river where Baba Lehna was sitting by himself, he said to him ,” the other sikhs deserted me on this chilly morning. Why didn’t you follow suit?”

On this Baba Lehna Bowed humbly to his Guru and Said, “A servant must never desert his master. How could i do that ?”

A Melbourne Sikh family has a favourable outcome against a Christian school that refused entry to their son because he wears a turban.

The decision came following a landmark decision of the Victorian Administrative and Civil Tribunal (VCAT) in September 2017 which found that Melton Christian School had breached the Equal Opportunity Act by discriminating against a five-year-old turban wearing boy, Sidhak Singh Arora.

VCAT had ordered that Sidhak’s parents and MCC attend a compulsory conference to determine what orders VCAT should make. Following the compulsory conference that was held in November, both parties issued the following joint statement:

“MCC, Sagardeep Singh Arora and Anureet Kaur Arora are pleased to have resolved the matter of the enrolment of the Aroras’ son, Sidhak Singh Arora, which was the subject of proceedings before the Victorian Civil and Administration Tribunal under the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 (Vic).

“MCC has made amendments to its uniform policy to allow exceptions where genuine medical or religious grounds exist, such that Sidhak will be able to start at MCC in the beginning of the 2018 school year.

“MCC is founded on Christian doctrine, and is committed to an inclusive school community partnering with families in excellent Christian education.

“MCC regrets the difficulties that took place with respect to the enrolment and the Arora family is grateful to the school for the amendments it has made to the uniform policy in order to welcome Sidhak to the school.

The Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, which had intervened in the case, had said in a statement, “The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal’s decision in the Arora v Melton Christian College case was an important test for clarifying the exceptions in the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. This is the first time that these exceptions from discrimination have been considered in Victorian courts or tribunals.”

“I consider that MCC’s uniform policy in so far as it prohibits head gear of a non-Christian faith, could be described as ‘openly discriminatory,” said VCAT member, J Grainger, in a 50-page judgment. You may read the full judgment here.

“I was approached by UNITED SIKHS in January this year when they learnt that I did not have legal representation. They assisted me and arranged pro bono representation by Herbert Smith Freehills, a top law firm in Australia,” Sidhak Singh’s father, Sagardeep Singh, said after VCAT’s ruling.

Sagardeep Singh Arora told SBS Punjabi that VCAT has ruled MCC has breached the state’s Equal Opportunity Act by placing uniform conditions on his son’s enrolment.

“It is a great outcome. We are very pleased to hear this decision,” said Mr Arora.

“The case will set a precedent for everyone else who wants their children to practice their religion or faith and cannot do it because some schools’ uniform policy excludes them from enrolment due to their appearance or their religious beliefs.”

UNITED SIKHS provided legal representation to Singh family with the support of a local law firm the Herbert Smith Freehills.

Mejindarpal Kaur, International Legal Director from UNITED SIKHS told SBS Punjabi that their organization is raising this issue in the interests of all religious minorities.

“On behalf of Sikhs in Australia, and in Victoria in particular, we are very pleased that VCAT has upheld religious freedom in schools. We applaud Sidhak Singh’s parents who took a stand for their child that will benefit all faith communities,” said Mejindarpal Kaur.

The landmark case of Sidhak Singh Arora may have wide-ranging implications for schools and the uniform policies they set.

She sits in a dimly-lit room, surrounded by scores of trophies covered with dust. The only thing shining in the dusky room is a heavy roll of white cloth, which she uses for cremating and burying bodies of the unknown and poor dying in the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER).

Amarjit Kaur Dhillon, 61, has dedicated her life to giving dignity to the dead.

At the last count in December 2005, she had conducted the last rites of 100 bodies. “I stopped counting after that,” she sighs, pointing to a big heap of files.

Born and bought up in Patiala, Dhillon moved to Chandigarh in 1980 when she got a job in the Punjab and Sind Bank. After working for 20 long years, she took voluntary retirement in 2000 to serve the needy.

First brush

Her journey of social service started in 1991, when she and her bank colleagues collected 2.5 lakh to fund the kidney transplant of a gunman’s son.

“It was then I realised the importance of money in saving human lives. In fund raising, I found a way to save lives,” says Dhillon.

She started raising funds for Red Cross, which used to organise medical camps. In 2000, she surprised everyone by arranging a lakh in less than a month.

Pointing to a cobweb-covered award, she says, “On May 8, 2000 I got my first state award by then Punjab health minister, who called me ‘Alladin ka Chirag’.”

She also started helping the poor patients at PGIMER. “It was in 1998 that I first visited PGIMER with my mother and found so many patients in need of help,” remembers Dhillon.

As she started dedicating more time to poor patients, work became a drag.

Raising funds

Finally, in 2000, she decided to quit her job to pay full attention to fund raising. Ask her if it is difficult to convince people to donate money and she says, “Many people want to help the poor, but don’t know how. Many want to donate money, but don’t know whom to trust. I am just a link between patients and donors,” she says, adding, “I have never faced any difficulty in arranging funds, it’s as if the divine is with me.”

On days, when she could not help people financially, she would lend them moral support.

How it started

Once, she found herself drawn to three children playing outside an operation theatre. “Their father from Bihar had undergone a heart surgery and their mother was inside looking after him,” recounts Dhillon, who started visiting them every day, bringing food and clothes.

“On May 3, 2000, a nurse came running to me for help, saying their father had passed away and their mother had lost consciousness.”

That was the first time she dealt with a body.

“I took the children to the gurudwara inside PGIMER and their mother to Red Cross for booking a funeral van,” she recounts.

The next morning, the two women cremated the body in Sector 25. Eighteen years on, she has lost count of the number of bodies she has cremated or buried.

“Kaam karne waalon ko sochnaa nahi padta, bas icha honi chahiye aur kaam aapko khud dhoondh lega (Those who really want to work don’t need to think much. All they need is a strong desire to do good),” ”she says.

Impressed by her services, Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited gave her some funds to which she added some more to purchase a mini-ambulance.

जब पाकिस्तान ने छंब सेक्टर में हमला किया तो जनरल चौधरी चाहते थे कि पाकिस्तान का सामना अख़नूर से आगे बढ़ कर किया जाए.

लेकिन जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह ने चौधरी से कहा कि आप सरकार से मुझे अंतरराष्ट्रीय सीमा पार कर लाहौर की तरफ़ बढ़ने की अनुमति दिलवाइए.

जनरल चौधरी और जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह का वो शो डाउन

जनरल चौधरी कुछ हिचकिचा रहे थे. लेकिन जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह ने इस पर ज़ोर देते हुए कहा कि अगर आप सरकार से ये बात नहीं कह सकते तो मुझे प्रधानमंत्री लाल बहादुर शास्त्री से मिलने की अनुमति दीजिए.

अंतत: उन्हें 3 सितंबर को पंजाब में बढ़ने की अनुमति मिली.

हरबख़्श सिंह अपनी आत्मकथा ‘इन द लाइन ऑफ़ ड्यूटी’ में लिखते हैं, “इस बीच पाकिस्तान को ये आभास देने के लिए कि हम अख़नूर पर उसके हमले का जवाब देने जा रहे हैं, मैंने अपने इंजीनियरों को पठानकोट-अख़नूर सड़क की मरम्मत करने और जम्मू तवी के ऊपर के पुल को और मज़बूत करने के आदेश दिए.”

“इसका पाकिस्तान पर क्या असर पड़ा मैं कह नहीं सकता, लेकिन इतना ज़रूर कह सकता हूँ कि तीन दिन बाद जब हमने लाहौर की तरफ़ मार्च शुरू किया तो वो आश्चर्यचकित रह गए.”

अपनी आत्मकथा ‘इन द लाइन ऑफ़ ड्यूटी’ में हरबख़्श सिंह लिखते हैं, “नौ सितंबर की रात ढाई बजे सेनाध्यक्ष ने मुझे फ़ोन मिलाया. उनका कहना था कि भारतीय सेना को पाकिस्तानी हमले से अलग-थलग होने से बचाने के लिए मुझे अपनी सेना को ब्यास नदी के पीछे ले आना चाहिए.”

“इसका मतलब था पंजाब के बहुत बड़े भूभाग, जिसमें अमृतसर और गुरदासपुर के ज़िले थे, ख़ाली कर देना. मेरी नज़र में भारतीय सेना के लिए ये 1962 के चीन हमले से भी बुरा झटका होता.”

जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह ने ये आदेश मानने से इंकार कर दिया.

वो अपनी आत्मकथा में लिखते हैं, “मैंने जनरल चौधरी से कहा कि चूँकि ये एक रणनीतिक आदेश है, इसलिए उन्हें इसे युद्ध भूमि में ही आकर देना होगा, वर्ना आप मुझे लिखित आदेश दीजिए. तय हुआ कि वो मुझसे अंबाला में मिलेंगे. मुझे ये देखकर आश्चर्य हुआ कि जनरल चौधरी के जहाज़ के साथ एक एस्कॉर्ट जहाज़ भी था.”

“मैंने स्टेशन कमांडर से उसी समय कहा कि सीमा पर लड़ रहे हमारे सैनिकों को रोज़ इस तरह के विमानों की दरकार होती है. मैं और चीफ़ सीधे ऑपरेशन रूम में गए जहाँ हम दोनों के बीच काफ़ी गर्मागर्मी हुई.”

“एक समय वो इतने उत्तेजित हो गए कि मुझे कहना पड़ा कि आपके लिए मेस से बियर मंगवाऊँ? लेकिन मैंने उन्हें ये स्पष्ट कर दिया कि अगर वो कोई रणनीतिक आदेश देना चाहते हैं तो उन्हें मेरे साथ फ़्रंट पर आना होगा और तब मैं तय करूंगा कि मैं उस आदेश का पालन करूँगा या नहीं.”

मेजर जनरल पलित भी लिखते हैं, “हरबख़्श सिंह ने जनरल चौधरी से कहा कि वो इतने महत्वपूर्ण मसले पर मौखिक आदेश का पालन नहीं करेंगे. इसके लिए आपको मुझे लिखित आदेश देने होंगे. लिखित आदेश कभी नहीं आए. कुछ ही घंटों में हालात बदल गए जब खेमकरण में भारत के सेंचूरियन टैंकों ने अपने से कहीं बेहतर पैटन टैंकों को धूल चटा दी.”

सामरिक मामलों के एक और विशेषज्ञ के. सुब्रमण्यम ने भी लिखा है कि जनरल चौधरी ने प्रधानमंत्री शास्त्री से भी ब्यास नदी के पीछे हटने की अनुमति माँगी थी, लेकिन उन्होंने इसकी इजाज़त नहीं दी.

टीकाकार इंदर मल्होत्रा और कुलदीप नैयर ने भी बीबीसी को बताया कि अगर चौधरी की चली होती तो भारत को बहुत बड़े हिस्से से पीछे हटना पड़ता.

जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह की बेटी हरमाला गुप्ता याद करती हैं कि लड़ाई के दौरान उन्होंने उन्हें घर पर बहुत कम देखा. वो आते भी थे तो हमेशा अपने कमरे में अपने कमांडरों के साथ टेलीफ़ोन पर बात करते रहते थे ये जानने के लिए कि युद्ध में क्या हो रहा है.

कभी-कभी कमरे से बाहर निकलते थे लेकिन हमें कुछ भी नही बताते थे कि लड़ाई में क्या हो रहा है. हम बस अनुमान लगा सकते थे कि सब कुछ ठीक ही चल रहा है.

उनके एडीसी रहे कैप्टन अमरेंदर सिंह कहते हैं कि वो बहादुरी के हर काम को सराहते थे, लेकिन पेशेवर ग़लती को वो कभी भी माफ़ नहीं करते थे.

1965 में भी जब मेजर जनरल निरंजन प्रसाद आशानुरूप काम नहीं कर पाए तो बीच लड़ाई में भी वो उनको हटाने से नहीं हिचके. उसी तरह जब मेजर जनरल चोपड़ा ने अख़नूर के मोर्चे पर अकुशलता दिखाई तो उन्हें भी हटाने में उन्हें कोई संकोच नहीं हुआ.

उस ज़माने में जनरल चौधरी के स्पेशल असिस्टेंट रहे और बाद में भारत के सेनाध्यक्ष बने जनरल वीएन शर्मा कहते हैं, “जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह बहुत आला अफ़सर थे. लड़ाई के दौरान एक अफ़सर का डटकर खड़ा होना और अपनी कमांड चलाना जैसा वो चाहे, बड़ी ख़ूबी की बात होती है. उनका मानना था कि अगर आप दूसरे देश में लड़ रहे हैं तो ज़रूरत पड़ने पर आप अपने सैनिकों को पीछे ले जा सकते हैं.”

“लेकिन अगर आप अपने ही देश में लड़ रहे हैं तो पीछे जाने का विकल्प आपके पास है ही नहीं, क्योंकि वो हमारी ज़मीन है, हमारा घर है. हम अपने लोगों को दुश्मन के हवाले कैसे कर सकते हैं. उनके इस रवैये ने देश के नेतृत्व को काफ़ी आत्मविश्वास दिया.”

खाना बरबाद करना पसंद नहीं

हरमाला गुप्ता कहती हैं कि उनका पहला परिवार भारतीय सेना थी. हम दूसरे नंबर पर आते थे. उनको संगीत का काफ़ी शौक था.

पुराने गाने उन्हें बहुत पसंद थे. कभी-कभी वो ख़ुद भी गाने की कोशिश करते थे.

उन्हें ‘चौदवीं का चाँद’ और ‘प्यासा’ के गाने बहुत पसंद थे और वो अक्सर ‘प्यार मांगा लेकिन काँटों का हार मिला’ गाना गुनगुनाया करते थे.

वो अक्सर अपनी गाड़ी ख़ुद ड्राइव करते थे और बहुत रैश ड्राइवर थे. उस ज़माने में उनके साथ पायलट जीप चला करती थी और वो अक्सर अपनी पायलट जीप से आगे निकल जाते थे.

हरमाला कहती हैं, “अनुशासन का उनके जीवन में बहुत महत्व था. हमें नाश्ते और दिन के खाने के बीच कुछ भी खाने की मनाही थी.”

वो बताती हैं, “कोका कोला भी हमारे लिए मना था. वो जापान में युद्धबंदी भी रह चुके थे, इसलिए उन्हें खाने की अहमियत मालूम थी.”

“उनको दो साल तक खाना नहीं मिला, इसलिए वो हमेशा ज़ोर देते थे कि खाना बरबाद नहीं होना चाहिए. जब हम ये कहते थे कि हमें ये नहीं खाना तो उनको ये बात बहुत नागवार गुज़रती थी.”

हर पाकिस्तानी सैनिकों का सम्मान

हरमाला बताती हैं, “उन्होंने पाकिस्तान में युद्ध मे जीती गई हर मस्जिद की मरम्मत करवाकर उसे वापस किया. इसके अलावा उन्हें जिस भी पाकिस्तानी सैनिक का शव मिला, उसे उन्होंने पूरे सैनिक सम्मान के साथ दफ़नवाया.”

“मैं ये भी बताना चाहूँगी कि पाकिस्तानी की तरफ़ से उनके काउंटरपार्ट जनरल बख़्तियार राना उनके दोस्त और बैचमेट थे. वो लाहौर गवर्नमेंट कॉलेज में साथ-साथ पढ़े थे. मुझे याद है कि जब युद्ध विराम के बाद भारत और पाकिस्तान में बातचीत हो रही थी तो संयुक्त राष्ट्र से भेजे गए चिली के जनरल मरंबियो ने पाकिस्तान का टेंट एक तरफ़ रखा और भारत का दूसरी तरफ़.”

“जब मेरे पिता वहाँ पहुंचे तो उन्होंने कहा, कहाँ हैं जनरल राना मैं उनसे मिलना चाहता हूँ. कितने साल हो गए हैं उनसे मिले हुए. उन्होंने जैसे ही जनरल राना को देखा अपनी बाँहों में भर लिया. आश्चर्यचकित जनरल मरंबियों ने कहा कि मुझे तो समझ में ही नहीं आ रहा कि तुम लोग लड़ क्यों रहे हो आपस में. लड़ाई किस बात पर है?”

शास्त्री ने तलवार भेंट की

1965 के युद्ध के बाद दिल्ली के सिख समुदाय ने बंगला साहिब गुरुद्वारे में प्रधानमंत्री लाल बहादुर शास्त्री और जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह को सरोपा देकर सम्मानित किया.

उन्होंने लाल बहादुर शास्त्री को एक तलवार भेंट की जिसका क़द उनसे भी बड़ा था. शास्त्री ने अपने बगल में बैठे जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह को हाथ पकड़ उठाया और वो तलवार उन्हें भेंट कर दी.

शास्त्री बोले, “मैं तो धोती प्रसाद हूँ, पर मेरे जनरल धोती प्रसाद नहीं हैं.” वो तलवार आज भी जनरल हरबख़्श सिंह के परिवार के पास है
