Ransinga / Ransingha

https://sikhism.net.in

In Sikhism, "Ransingha" refers to a powerful and inspiring battle cry or war cry that holds great significance for Sikh warriors. It is a combination of two Punjabi words: "Ran" meaning battle or war, and "Singha" meaning lion. Together, Ransingha represents the lion's roar in the battlefield, symbolizing courage, strength, and fearlessness.

The concept of Ransingha is deeply rooted in Sikh history and tradition. It emerged during the times of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who organized the Khalsa, a community of baptized Sikhs dedicated to upholding righteousness and defending the oppressed. Guru Gobind Singh Ji emphasized the importance of martial valor and self-defense, empowering his followers with the spirit of Ransingha.

Akal Takht (ਅਕਾਲ ਤਖ਼ਤ) means the Throne of the Immortal and is the highest political institution of the Sikhs. "Akal" means "The Timeless One" - another term for God. "Takhat" means "throne" in Persian. The Akal Takhat is an impressive building that sits directly in front of the causeway leading to the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The Akal Takht was founded by Guru Hargobind in 1606 and was established as the place from which the spiritual and temporal concerns of the Sikh community could be acted upon.

The Jathedar (Chief) of the Akal Takhat is the highest spokesperson of the Sikh Panth and is meant to be a spiritual leader without control or influence from any outside, politically motivated sources.

The Golden Temple complex originally was open and had numerous trees around the pool. It is now a walled, two-storey courtyard with four entrances, that preserve three Ber trees (jujube). One of them is to the right of the main ghanta ghar deori entrance with the clock, and it is called the Ber Baba Buddha. It is believed in the Sikh tradition to be the tree where Baba Buddha sat to supervise the construction of the pool and first temple.

A second tree is called Laachi Ber, believed to the one under which Guru Arjan rested while the temple was being built. The third one is called Dukh Bhanjani Ber, located on the other side of the sanctum, across the pool. It is believed in the Sikh tradition that this tree was the location where a Sikh was cured of his leprosy after taking a dip in the pool, giving the tree the epithet of "suffering remover". There is a small Gurdwara underneath the tree. The Ath Sath Tirath, or the spot equivalent to 68 pilgrimages, is in the shade underneath the Dukh Bhanjani Ber tree.
