1. Falcon or Hawk is make reference to as a Baaj in Punjabi, not an eagle.
2. The Story of Baaj began way back during the 6th Guru Hargobind Sahib, Guru. Since, I am born in the village, where Guru Hargobind Sahib was born so I keep on reading on more about Guru Sahib. Last month I had visited the Gurudwara Adalat Sahib, Amritsar. Guru Hargobind’s 2 wars were as of a hawk that was presented by the Persian king to Shah Jahan. Guru Sahib told that they would taken away taaj and baaj both from Mughals.
3. There are unique symbols and signs for freethinking Emperor or ruler which involves:-
a. Nagara
b. Chandoya
c. Chourr
d. Nishan
e. Takhat
f. Kalgi
g. Keeping durbar(court)
Keeping royal symbols like a Falcon or hawk, wear out a king-style turban was the independent rulers sign. Guru Gobind Singh ji declaring himself as independent and that they were independent under the Akal Purakh rule. Guru Sahib is not under some ruler. During that time, Aurangzeb issued the order that no one is allowed to kept royal signs and everyone must accepted the supreme authority.
Guru Sahib kept all the symbols that personify independent authority.
Further, there are different tales about Guru’s Baaj but most significant is it symbolizes self rule without any kind of authority.
We progress up listening tales of White Falcon Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s and the Baaz that he utilized to carried perched on his righteous hand. Also much times we had listened about how Guru Gobind Ji developed Khalsa (Singh).
At the time of developing Panj pyare, when Guru Gobind Singh Ji was built in Amrit (holy nectar) than some drops of Amrit were fallen from the cauldron, were consumed by the tiny class of sparrows. Suddenly sparrows turn on and attack the Baaz to such an extent that Baaz had to taken a flight, follow fiercely by the sparrows. This incident shown the Sikhs that Amrit has immense power, after drinking certain drops even sparrow getting the courage to taking on Baaz. Also we heart this one numerous times:
Chidian De Naal Baaz Larava, Tabhe Gobind Singh Naam Kahava.
Savah Laakh Say Aik Laraoun, Tabai Gobind Singh Naam Kahaoun
I would make 1 fight 125000, then my name should be Gobind Singh.
THERE ARE SIMILAR TRAITS BETWEEN GURU GOBIND SINGH JI’S BAAZ AND SINGH.
One could not kept Baaz in a Cage; either Baaz would break it or Die.
Similarly, Singh could not accept repression and Slavery. He should always struggle for his honor and freedom.
Baaz’s are extremely agile, courageous, and strong birds providing with awful weapons.
Similarly, Singh’s are enterprising, hardworking, courageous, and respectful. The Kirpan is one of the set of faith that each baptized Sikh Khalsa is needed to carried at all times. It shows the Good force that must ever striving to protecting truth and weak and the destroyer of tyrant and evil.
3. Baaz has very awesome eye sight they could spot a meal up to a mile away. They always flying higher and kept a close eye on the meal in a bottom.
Similarly, in regular Ardaas, Singh seeking Man neeva Mat uchi which denoted Singh should discard his or her ego, haughtiness and arrogance and always kept higher spirituals principles and highly moral values.
4. Baaz is the instant birds of prey and is pretty muscular. They catching their prey in mid-air. It had been observed that if their meal falling to the ground, they would not go get it. In fact, they do not normally fly lesser than the nest level. And also it is faithed that Baaz catches prey on their own; and never eaten out other’s meal.
Similarly, Singh always taking stand on their rights, truth and belief and never indulging in taken other human rights.
So because of these uncommon qualities of Baaz, GURU GOBIND SINGH JI adore them a lot.
The Hawk or Baaj of Guru Gobind Singh Ji is denoted to shown royalty and is utilized in hunting. The Baaj species is the Northern Goshawk.
Due to him having this hawk he was known as the keeper of the white hawk or ChittayBajan Wala. He named it Rustam after the major character in the Shahnama.
We all understand that the eagle is reflected on the birds king. The eagle has numerous rare features that could not be found in any other bird. And whatever Guru Gobind Singh Ji also told or done in his life, in the Khalsa Panth, he had done it to teach the Sikhs initiated. In this manner, there were numerous such secrets and lessons that he needed to told the humans run on the Khalsa Panth, is always have an eagle with him.
