| |
| <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana; font-size: 16px;">
| |
| This is an interpretation of the signs from God of birth and
| |
| death found in the Jaap Sahib prayer of the Sree Dasam Granth
| |
| scripture. A Sign is a mark of the will of God and is a
| |
| communication from God to people. A sign can be an object, daily
| |
| activity, divine action, events in the world news and part of
| |
| the content of scriptures.

| |
| My name is Amardeep Singh Chawla. I am a Sikh and I live in the
| |
| province of Ontario located in Canada. I have seen signs from
| |
| God about myself in Sikh history and Sikh scriptures. First, the
| |
| signs found in Sikh history that show a basis for the signs
| |
| found in the Jaap Sahib prayer are interpreted. Second, the
| |
| signs of my birth found in the Jaap Sahib prayer are
| |
| interpreted. Last, the signs of my death found in the Jaap Sahib
| |
| prayer are interpreted.

| |
| <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana; font-size: 16px;">
| |
| The first signs I would like to discuss are the ones relating to the third
| |
| Profit (Guru) of Sikhism. The name of the third Profit was Amardaas. The first
| |
| syllable in Guru Amardaas’ name is Amar which is the same as the first syllable
| |
| in my name. Guru Amardaas was born in the year A.D. 1479 and died in the year
| |
| A.D. 1574. I was born on the 28th day of November in the year 1979. Guru Amardaas
| |
| and I share the seventy nine in the year of birth. I would like to consider the
| |
| digit seven and the digit four in the year A.D. 1574. The multiplication of the
| |
| digit seven and the digit four is equal to twenty eight which is the same as the
| |
| day of my birth. The addition of the digit seven and digit four is equal to
| |
| eleven which is the as the number of the month of my birth. Consequently, the
| |
| number seventy four is a sign from God. Since Guru Amardaas was a very religious
| |
| man, therefore this is sign that I will be a close devotee of God.

| |
| <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana; font-size: 16px;">
| |
| I would like to discuss the signs that I have noticed in the Jaap Sahib prayer
| |
| from the Dasam Granth Sahib scripture. The Dasam Granth Sahib was written by
| |
| the tenth Profit whose name was Gobind Singh. The Jaap Sahib is the first prayer
| |
| in Dasam Granth Sahib and is read daily in the ambrosial hours of the dawn by
| |
| many Sikhs. It is given as one of the morning prayers in the Rehat Maryada
| |
| which is the Sikh code of conduct.

| |
| <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana; font-size: 16px;">
| |
| I would like to discuss Jaap Sahib stanza seventy nine. Please read the
| |
| Gurmukhi, transliteration and translation of the stanza given above.
| |
| This is a new section in the Jaap Sahib prayer and has the raag heading
| |
| Rooaal Chhand. The raag heading is the measure to be used for the
| |
| section of the prayer. There are exactly twenty eight words in the
| |
| stanza. The stanza begins with the word Aad which means beginning. There
| |
| are two syllables in my first name. The first syllable is Amar which
| |
| begins with the letter A and second is Deep which begins with the letter
| |
| D. These are two consonants that make up the word Aad. The other symbols
| |
| are vowels. There is one more occurrence of the word Aad. This puts
| |
| emphasis on the word Aad and therefore the word Aad is a sign from God
| |
| of my birth. There are exactly eleven words between the two occurrences
| |
| of the word Aad. Therefore, stanza seventy nine is a significant sign of
| |
| my birth giving the month, day and year of my birth as 11, 28 and 79
| |
| respectively.

| |
| <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana; font-size: 16px;">
| |
| The section directly previous to the section of stanza 79 starts with stanza 74
| |
| and has the raag heading Charpat Chhand. Please read the Gurmukhi,
| |
| transliteration and translation of the stanzas given above. I have previously
| |
| discussed that the number seventy four is a sign from God. There are thirty six
| |
| symbols in the words of the stanza. Guru Amardaas was born in the Sambat year
| |
| 1536. At the time, Sambat was the calendar system used by the Sikhs. The Sambat
| |
| calendar system is fifty seven years ahead of the A.D. calendar system. I have
| |
| calculated the year of my birth to be Sambat 2036. Since thirty six is part of
| |
| Guru Amardaas' Sambat year of birth and my Sambat year of birth, therefore it is
| |
| an another sign that stanza seventy four has something to do with me.

| <p style="font-size: 12px; text-align: center; margin-top: 0px;">Signs from God in Jaap Sahib stanza 28</p>
| |
| <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana; font-size: 16px;">
| |
| Please read the Gurmukhi, transliteration and translation of the stanza twenty
| |
| eight given above. As you already know, twenty eight is the day of my birth.
| |
| There are only eight words in stanza twenty eight and stanza seventy four. I
| |
| would like you to notice that the words joge and bhoge are present in stanza
| |
| twenty eight and stanza seventy four. Therefore, this is an another sign that
| |
| stanza seventy four has something to do with me. The number of words in stanza
| |
| seventy nine is a sign of the day of my birth. A similar pattern exists in
| |
| stanza seventy four. Moreover, the number of words in stanza seventy four is
| |
| eight and is the sign of the day of my death. The number of words between the
| |
| two occurrences of the word Aad in stanza seventy nine is a sign of the month of
| |
| my birth. A similar pattern of repetition exists in stanza seventy four to
| |
| stanza seventy five. The word Achall occurs in the last line of the stanza and
| |
| is repeated after the digit seventy four. The word Achall means perpetual. This
| |
| is a sign that my soul will exist forever and I will go to heaven. There are
| |
| exactly two groups between the two occurrences of the word Achall. The groups
| |
| are the word bhoge and the number seventy four. The number two represents the
| |
| month February and is a sign of the month of my death. As you already know,
| |
| twenty eight is the day of my birth. I would like to remind you that there are
| |
| exactly two groups between the two occurrences of the word Achall and there are
| |
| eight words in stanza seventy four. Thus, this is an another sign. Therefore,
| |
| the seventy fourth stanza is a significant sign of my death giving the month,
| |
| day and year of my death as 2, 8 and 74 respectively.

| |
| You will notice that stanzas 79, 74 and 94 are directly below the raag heading

| |
| There are only eight words in stanza eight and four words in stanza ninety four.
| |
| I would like you to notice that the words udare and apare are present in stanza
| |
| eight and stanza ninety four. Therefore, these two numbers are related to each
| |
| other and this is another sign that the number eight is part of the date of my
| |
| death. Furthermore, this is a sign that ninety four is the age of my death.
| |
| I would like you to notice that similar words udaar and apaar are present in
| |
| stanza 79. This is an another sign that the numbers 8 and 94 are related to me.
