Diwali - A Festival of Light | An Animated Sikh Story

- Diwali is the festival of lights. Once a year, the entire world comes together to light divas (candles) in remembrance of good conquering bad. The night sky is also lit up with beautiful fireworks. This amazing short animation shows why people from the Sikh faith celebrate Diwali, and how it came to be known as Bandi Chhor Divas.
Interesting Fact: the actual robe that Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji wore to free the fifty two kings can still be seen today at Gurdwara Chola Sahib, Ghudani Kalan, Punjab.
The story starts with the sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, who resided in Sri Amritsar Sahib. Instigated by corrupt ministers, the Guru was invited to Delhi to meet the Mughal emperor, Jahangir. Upon their arrival, the Guru spent much time with the emperor and even saved their life from a lion attack!
The emperor’s ministers had failed to make the Guru look bad, so a minister named Chandu bribed an astrologer to tell the emperor that he had been cursed! The emperor was then told that the only way to remove the curse was to imprison the Guru for forty days in Gwalior.
Although Guru Ji knew that this was all a hoax, they agreed to go to prison, knowing that they had a different task to fulfil.
Watch this beautifully animated Sakhi (true story) on why Sikhs celebrate Diwali.
Upholding the historical accuracy of this Sakhi (true story) and depicting it in a respectful way is of the utmost importance to us.
The following reputable sources were used to make this animation:
1. Gurbilas Paatshahi 6 - Bhai Bhagat Singh Ji (student of Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Ji)
2. Sri Gurpratap Sooraj Granth - Mahakavi Bhai Santokh Singh Ji
3. Twarikh Guru Khalsa/Sri Guru Panth Prakash - Giani Gian Singh Ji
4. Mehma Prakash - Bhai Saroop Daas Ji Bhalla
5. Gur Bhaari - Principal Satbir Singh Ji
6. Mahan Kosh - Bhai Kahn Singh Ji Nabha
7. Deepmala Katha - Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale
The depictions of Guru Ji are artistic interpretations which have not been animated and are still images only. None of the figures in the story have been voiced. Only the story is being narrated.
May this animation instil the true message of Diwali in our hearts and help us to implement the teachings of Sikhi into our lives.

I grew up in a Christian family but I'm not religious. I come from eastern Europ and live in UK for 17 years. the religion that impressed me is Shikism. I was once at Leamimgtin Spa and saw the beautiful temples of Shiks there. I really wanted to get in but wasn't sure what I could 🤷♂️
Anyone from any religion is allowed and welcome in the Gurudwara.
@@gagandeepkaur9824 thanks for your reply. 🤝 does it have to be head covered?🤔
@@quevadis5848 Yes , head must be covered , feel free to go to any gurdwara (sikh temple) and enjoy langar ( which is free food to anyone ) Let me know if you are in need of any help with some questions yiu may have
@@gagandeepkaur9824 thank you 🙏
Sikhism is a dharma. Not a religion.
I had this idea that Sikhism unlike other religions is free from mythical stories and also heard that our gurus didn't believe in showing "karamat". Well, this is a capability of human mind that we are good at imagining things and without these "karamats", people don't believe that someone is special. Diwali diyan mubarakan 🙏
It is actually pretty debated among many different sects of Sikhi, whereas as some break it down as metaphors. In this one, They didn’t literally transform, but they essentially became “someone else” or acted out of their normal character, showing their warrior side. This makes more since to me when you analyze the core teachings of Guru Nanak. My friend runs a podcast called “the Sikh Renaissance” where he touches on this subject quite a bit. Luckily, he has been a guiding hand for me in my path to understanding the teachings of the Gurus and becoming closer to waheguru. I have even been learning punjabi
DHAN DHAN SAHIB SHRI HARGOBIND SAHIB JI MAHRAJ 🙏🌺 Sabh te Mehar Karo guru sahib ji🙏.
Beautiful. Wish your brilliant team could do more animations to keep the young ones glued on. The Emperor dreaming of the lions with the grace of Guruji tends to hold more true rather than the two beloved Sikhs changing forms as there is no room in Sikhi for magical powers. 🙏

Thank you so much for this video. I've walked this earth for 26 years never knowing why we celebrate Diwali and Bandi Chor and what the difference was between the two. 26 years later I finally understand. Thank you for this wonderful animation and showcasing our story. ❤ I understand now.

A Beautiful Narration and visualisation Effort Video Beautifully Made I Didn't knew much before...
I never knew this !! Amazing work by the team of Basics of Sikhi !!
Everybody knows how friendly the Mughal emperors were...and what they did to our Gurus don't Show Jahangir As a Good person 🙏 tell us About Guru Arjan Dev ji ?
True
They are just Islamist Sikhs who just want people's to believe that Muslims and mughal were Saint and they were very friendly it was Hindus who made hate between both these communities
this is the perceptions these so called Islamist Sikhs want to pursue in common people's mind
Guru Gobind Singh ji also fought early battles against 22 pahari kings who were with mughals and were very jealous of Sikhs and Guru . They used to attack anandpur to kill Guru but they lost all battles . When they could not win a battle against them , they joined hands with Mughals and the sikh-mughal wars started . Raja hari Chand was killed by Guru in the first battle of guru gobind Singh ji against pahari rajas. And Chandu part has been written by all writers whether non sikh or sikh writer . Guru sahib refused to marry his son to his daughter as he spoke very badly against the Guru . So Guru Refused knowing his Ill behaviour . He decided to take revenge from the Guru and as he was a courtier of Jahangir , he told to jahangir false things about the Guru and put false allegations on him , Jahangir other muslim courtiers also wanted to arrest Guru as many Hindus and Muslims were becoming desciples of guru . Jahangir was a lailag by ears . What he listened , he believed and then calling Guru at the court and keep him in prison , he ordered his courtiers and Chandu , what they wanted to do , they could do and himself went to Kashmir .
Ye sir bhakhayan karte hain
Dont forget the betrayal of the Hindus as well. No region is bad, only few people following it are. Unity is strength.
Dude everything was cool but I didn’t know about the Singh’s that converted into lions at night. What is the true version of that? Lots of other good info too that I never knew thanks jio
czcams.com/video/BFd-knQI9JY/video.html
@@hpentlia , completely agree. This story being told here is not we have read and heard since our childhood.
It's true. Sikhs who meditate daily, follow Nitnem gain a lot of power but Guru ji's presence increased it manifold and may be their meditation from pastives too made them this powerful. But it's true.
Sant ji tells it a bit differently:

Yeah I believed this until o saw the lions
This was an awesome informative animation would love to see more like this. Keep up basics of sikhi ❤️

oh God, is this the real saakhi?? Never ever heard of it, all I knew was that Guru Maharaj rescued the 52 kings but didn't know that Guru ji went to prison after all that happened and for this reason and two Sikhs with their powers took the form of 2 lions.. like I am In a real shock, never even thought of this.. if this is true Sakhi then thanks a ton for sharing and expanding our knowledge.. Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji ki Fateh
Have you ever heard of the 'Suraj Prakash Granth'? Gianis and kathavachaks reference it all the time. It's a pre-British epic that gives the most detailed history of all Gurus. The video you watched is based off that, with confirmation from other historic sources. So yes it's authentic history. I think the reason we don't hear the full stories as they used to be told 200 years ago probably has to do with massive changes in how modern Sikhs not only think but in how we've changed stories to suit more modern understandings.
Good video and truth need to be spread because many Sikhs all over the world has been celebrating Diwali like Hindus without knowing Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chor Divas and other communities too think Sikhs celebrate Diwali as Hindus, love Hindus but Sikhs should know the purpose Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chor Divas and not Diwali
Please watch this video to find out if Sikhs celebrate Diwali or Bandi Chor: czcams.com/video/F9is-e310rk/video.html
The best of Divali is all prepartition India and over the whole world it unites and celebrated. 🤗 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing. Just brilliant. Waheguru I Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
Nice Story!
UK sikhs know more then us 💖💖
Please change the title to Bandi Chhor Divas not Diwali.. this is why people outside of sikhi aren't understanding why Sikhs celebrate it.

This story is much better and more believable than the one about the emperor sent his son to live in the forest for 14 years and suddenly a 10 headed demon took his wife… then he karate chops the demon and rescued his wife and upon his return the whole city was happy and lit candles for him…
Maybe learn what allegories are before talking shit dollar store Osama.
ja na
i have never insulted sikh gurus because gurus don"t tell anyone to hate So don't question another belief if you are not capable . Anyway everybody has there own thought and mind So just do what you have to do .At the end of the life or world things will eventually get sorted out . If you want to kill hindus so be it
Dhan Maharaj!

Where did you get this information and who verified this please what scholarship backs this story? Any Islamic sources backing this story?
Thnak you
For more information you can visit gwalior fort where there is a gurdwara situated and relive all the places. And u should know not only jahangir but also humayun, akbar and aurangzeb met with the gurus.
Basic of sikhi i love your videos
Awesome 👏 💙🙏💙
Great video Bhaiji
People converting into Lion form to scar the Emperor sounds like a cooked up story. Rest of the story is believable.
That was a dream of jahangir
Those two sikhs did very much bhagti, their names were bhai jetha ji and bhai pirana ji, they were extensive spiritual brahmgyani ( one with God) sikhs . They made a plan to scare jahangir with their spiritual powers and decided to transform themselves into lions and they reached near to his bead and started roaring, and jahangir started scaring. Later, guru sahib told those sikhs that you should not use miracles for your own purpose and be remained in the will of God. They finally accepted their mistakes and said that they will not misuse their spiritual powers. These two sikhs are also greatly revered along with the gurus.

Although sikhs do not celebrate diwali.. v celebrate Bandi Chorh Diwas.
Let me know does Bandi Chorh Diwas exactly fall on the day of diwali or we have found an excuse to celebrate diwali
Good point
Historical Sikhs have called it Diwali. For instance Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh issued a decree saying that sikhs should come to Amritsar for celebration of Diwali.
We've always Celebrated Divaali
From the times of the Guru
Panth Khalsa also celebrates Divaali since the start and even has Jorr Mele for Divaali
Bandi Chhorr is like an additional celebration to Divaali

QUICK NOTE AND CORRECTION/ ADD ON ...
On 1:12 the emperor invited patshaah ji on hunting a expedition
This video is good but one important mistake ... the word "revenge" should not used. Better word is "seek justice" or "avenge". Our Gurus sahibs did not seek 'personal revenge.'

9:20 I like how we've taken the supernatural out of it by not claiming that the robe magically grew or something but rather that Guru Ji was clever enough to outwit his enemy.
