| BACKGROUND | |||||

Mani was taken from his family by the Sainini (Leader of an Army) at the age of 10 because attacked the soldiers that were taking food from the village. He was one of five children that the Sainini took that were to be trained to be his personal hunters. The Sainini employed a noted warrior named Gobind Singh Ji, but unknown to the Sainini he was also a Sri Guru of the Sikh. He taught the children in the ways of the Sikh. (These guys pretty cool and make great Hero types http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikh). The Sri Guru training taught him how to hunt down the enemies of the Sainini but he also taught them to seek the union of soul with God. That a Sikh disciplines his thoughts and actions so that the five obstaclesÑlust, anger, greed, attachment and egoÑare dispelled and the soul is united with God, and to believe that the cycle of reincarnation is escaped by this union. The taught them that the basis of Sikh lifestyle are Naam Japo, Kirat Karni, and Wand kay Shako, which means meditate on the holy name (Wahguru), work diligently and honestly, and share one's fruits. The guiding principles of the Sikh faith are Truth, Equality, Freedom, Justice, and Karma. The Sainini however took over some of the training personally and taught them to use the very shadows as weapons. He taught them the magic to become like a shadow on the wall, how to travel through the shadows, how to trap someoneÕs mind in shadows, and finally how to kill with a blade of shadow built upon an assassinÕs blade. Of all of the children only Teg Bahadur was as good and a rivalry started between them. When Mani could he helped the SaininiÕs enemies to escape, but often a token was required by the Rakshasa as proof of the deed. From his teaching Mani knew that each death he cause would return to him in his karma and he struggled to stay pure of thought and was often found in the company of Guru Gobind who gave him the nick name Chote Singh (little lion). He grew to manhood under this life and was baptized by the Sri Guru into the Khalsa Brotherhood (pure brotherhood) and gave him the five symbols or panj kakaar/kakke, are five articles of faith that all baptized Sikhs (also called Khalsa Sikhs) are typically obliged to wear at all times, as commanded by the tenth Sikh Guru in 1699. The symbols are worn for identification and representation of the ideals of Sikhism, such as honesty, equality, fidelity, militarism, meditating on God, and never bowing to tyranny. The five symbols are: Kesh (uncut hair, usually tied and wrapped in the Sikh Turban, Dastar.) Kanga (wooden comb, usually worn under the Dastar.) Kachchhera (characteristic shorts, usually white in color.) Kara (iron bracelet, which is a symbol of eternity.) Kirpan (curved sword, comes in different sizes, for example in the UK Sikhs would wear a small sharp dagger whereas in the Punjab Sikhs would wear the traditional curved sword, from one to three feet in length.) Shortly after his baptism the Sainini was told by Teg Bahadur what the Guru Gobind was teaching them. The Sainini was also told by Teg that Mani had let go some of his enemies go. He brought before HaumaiÕs hand, as the children came to be called, Sri Guru Gobind bound and beaten. He asked that each of the five prove their loyalty by cutting the Guru with their shadows. The first three gave shallow cuts upon his legs and arms, but when TegÕs turn came he cut a deep gash upon the GuruÕs face. Finally it came to be ManiÕs turn and the Sainini told him to kill his mentor. He refused to do so, but then Guru Gobind told him that he must for a soldier is loyal to his leader and always shows fidelity to his commander. So with tears in his eyes he gave his teacher a quick death. The Sainini then sent him into a dark chamber and locked him in. He ended up serving the Sainini for three more years under the cruel leadership of the now elevated Teg who took great joy in his cruelty. Teg would give the worst bloodiest duties to him, but he was freed when the Sainini crossed the Honourable East India Company and stole some of their opium. The company sent out a battalion of the British army lead by an older man called the ÒBaronÓ to deal with the Sainini. The HaumaiÕs Hand was ordered to kill this ÒBaronÓ the first three failed and were killed (or maybe captured). Finally Teg sent Mani to slay the ÒBaron,Ó but before he could get there the British army attacked the SaininiÕs stronghold and a long struggle between the ÒBaronÓ and the Sainini ensued. During the combat Teg escaped abandoning his lord. The ÒBaronÓ eventually won the conflict, while the blood of the now revealed Rakshasa was flowing onto the stones of the courtyard Mani appeared to him and lay down his sword and asked for a swift death. The ÒBaronÓ asked him his story and when he was finished telling it the ÒBaronÓ refused to kill him instead told him that he should help those that are in need and use what he has learned to build his dharma (good karma). That night he changed his name to Ratri Sikars Singh Ji and vowed cleanse his karma before his death. |
