placed) was studded with many varieties of diamonds and rubies; the glitter of which had a charming effect on the mind. The overhead Chanani too was covered with star shapes and pearls ("'Decorative square piece of cloth hung overhead, above Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as a symbol of royalty). I was left completely amazed. The Gursikhs sitting in this massive underground place were doing simran of Waheguru to the accompaniment of a large variety of natural musical sounds. There was divine bliss in these sounds and I became completely absorbed in them.

"The Sound‐current of the Naad (octave) vibrates there, and countless musicians play on all sorts of instruments there. So many raags (musical "moods" of the Indian musical system), so many musicians singing there." (SGGS p. 6)

I was not conscious of myself and my concentration was totally in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Darshan of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji made me feel that Waheguru Ji, Akal Purakh (the Timeless Being), was present right in front of me. From the Prakaash of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, rays of soothing light were radiating on the Gursikhs.

"Light radiates from the place where sits the Holy Congregation (Saadh Sangat)" (Bhai Gurdas Ji)

In the radiance, I saw the image of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Guru Ji spoke, "My blessing will be on any Gursikh who does Waheguru simran." Hearing this, I saw before my eyes a war scene in which Mata Sahib Kaur Ji asked, "I can see all Singhs but not the Sahibzaday (Princes of Guru Ji)." Guru Ji waved towards the Khalsa and said, "Why lament the death of the Four, thousands are alive. Due to the sacrifice of the Four Sahibzaday, thousands of Gursikhs who do simran have been born."

Guru Ji prayed to Akal Purakh, "I promised that thousands of Singh's will do simran, but today, with Your Blessing, hundreds of thousands are doing simran."

The Khalsa Ji who was with me said, "Singh Ji! Be alert!" After the completion of simran, most Singhs got up and left, but about 15 to 20 remained deep in simran. I asked Khalsa Ji, "All others have gone, why are these still in meditation?"

Khalsa Ji replied, "They have gone to see the fantastic sights of Sach Khand. They have left their physical bodies and their ethereal bodies have flown through dasam duar (tenth gate) to Sach Khand. Some, for two days, some for four and others for a longer time. They go for darshan of Akal Purakh (the Timeless Being i.e. God) and return. To see Sach Khand it is necessary to do continuous simran."

Khalsa Ji told me that at 2.30 in the morning, five Singhs do the Prakaash of Guru Ji in the underground chamber. The Prakaash is located at the same place at the beginning of the tunnel at Sri Amritsar Sahib. The early morning (Amrit vela) Mukh‐Vaak ‐ Main Order ‐ is heard by all Sangat on speakers. All the Sangat heed and act according to this Vaak. Three o' clock swas‐swas simran starts. From 4.00 to 5.00 a.m. Waheguru simran is done with musical instruments. After the completion of simran, the Sangat goes to the Gurdwara to do Nit Nem followed by langar and return to their homes.

After this, Khalsa Ji took me to the Gurdwara. I was amazed to see such a beautiful Gurdwara. It was built of stone more beautiful than marble. I went inside and performed matha tekan. The Palaki (on which Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is placed) was decorated with many coloured glass. The overhead Chanani cloth was decorated with star shapes, rubies and pearls. Two Anand Karaj
