In the last line of the 9th stanza, Gobind Singh has declared that 'only those who love sincerely and honestly, realise God'. Couplet: Listen to the story of Machhiwara of how the Guru stayed at the house of a Khattri and of how the Sayyad Pathans served him by carrying him on their heads.2. Also in one of the Gurudwaras in Nanded ( Gurudwara Banda Ghat) MahaParshad (meat) is served on a paticular day in Langaar. It is a part of Guru Gobind Singh ji's classic composition 'Akal Ustat' which means 'The praise of God'. After settling the True Guru, the Pathan went and brought along Gulaba the Khatri.1. Jhatka or Chatka meat (Hindi:, Punjabi: ) is meat from an animal that has been killed by a single strike of a sword or axe to sever the head, as opposed to ritualistically slow slaughter (Kuttha) like the Jewish slaughter or Islamic slaughter (dhabihah).It is the method preferred by many Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians. However there are some practices which are questionable like Jhatka ( Slaughter of animal in one action) in Hazoor Sahib compound on special events and cleaning of ‘Shastars’ with blood of that animal. Some Sikhs will only eat food prepared by their own families. Some Sikhs will also exclude eggs, fish and any ingredients with animal derivatives or cooked in animal fat from their diet. Sikhs who have taken Amrit (initiated-baptised) are vegetarian or vegan.
In the rahitnm (Sikh code of conduct manual) literature written in the eighteenth century, Sikhs are prescribed to consume the meat obtained through jhatka only. eat meat that has been processed according to their own rites (jhatka). It was popularly known as Mata Khivi ji da Langar (Mother Khivi's langar) and she was monumental in institutionalising the Sikh tradition of langar. Tav-Prasad Savaiye is a short hymn of 10 stanzas. Jhatka literally means a jerk or stroke, but here it refers to the method of slaughtering an animal or bird with one stroke, as opposed to the Muslim practice of hall.
Khivi lived for 30 years after her husband's death to the age of 75.Īfter Guru Nanak's initiation, Khivi continued the system of langar or free kitchen and administered it. According to some sources, the couple only had three children (omitting Anokhi). The couple had four children two sons Datu and Dasu and two daughters Anokhi and Bibi Amro.
She was married to Lehna, a resident of Khadoor Sahib in 1519 at the age of 13, who went on to become second guru of Sikhs and was named Guru Angad Dev. Devi Chand was a businessman and money lender. Khivi was born in 1506 into a Marwaha Khatri family to Devi Chand and Karan Devi in village Sangar Kot near Khadoor Sahib.
