گورکھ دھندا

"گورکھ دھندا" کا کیا مطلب ہوتا ہ�

[v***@gmail.com]

It means a conundrum, a riddle, an enigma, Saqib sahib. Here is a four liner in Panjaabi:

rabb ik guNjhal daar bujhaarat, rabb ik gorakh dhaNda
kholan lagyaaN pech ais de kaafir ho jaae baNda
kaafir hono Dar ke jiiveN, khojoN muul na khuNjhiin
laaii lag momin de naaloN khojii kaafir chaNgaa

bohat Khuub.

aap ne jo sawaal kiia hai mere pesh-kardaah qite pe, mujhe aisaa
mehsuus ho raha hai ki shayad aap teesre misre ko 'literally' le rahii
haiN!

I think it is better to take it in the context of the whole qita. In
it, Khalil Gibraan* is exhorting us to continue with our quest for the
truth (for god) in spite of the trials and tribulations one is bound
to encounter in an endeavour like this. It may seem easier to accept
some doctrine based upon other people's beliefs, but better to accept
one's ignorance and continue to search for one's own sense of the
ultimate truth (at the risk of never finding it, and remain ignorant.)

*The qita is a rendition in Panjabi by Professor Mohan Singh of some
writing of Khalil Gibraan. It forms a sort of 'preface' to his own
poem on this topic.

Vijay

Zuhra sahiba, aadaab-o-tasliimaat.

Khoj ka matlab aap samjhatii hii haiN, ya'ani ki 'search'.

'muul' ka matlab vaise to 'root', 'substantive' vgh hota hai (shayad
urdu meN bhii), lekin is misre meN ise ba-ma'ani 'bilkul, at all'
istemaaal kiia gaya hai.

khuNjhnaa means 'to miss', 'to commit an oversight, an error' etc.
Here it is used to mean 'to give up, to miss out on'.

So the whole misra means something like 'in the fear of never finding
out the truth (god) and take up some easy way out through
indoctrination, you must never give up your quest (even if you spend
your whole life in this search).

The "ultimate" gorakh-dhandaa nazm has got to be Naz Khayalvi's "tum
ik gorakh dhandaa ho". And the icing on the cake is Nusrat Fateh Aki
Khan's qavvaalii.

گورکھ سنسکرت کا لفظ ہے جس کے معن

[Raj Kumar]

گورکھ سنسکرت کا لفظ ہے جس کے معنی پوچیدہ

***mu’aaf keejiye, lafz “gorakh” agarche Sanskrit ka lafz hai magar is ke ma’ani “pechiida” ke hargiz naheeN haiN. This word stands for “go-raksh”, which means a “gau-rakshak”. And it happens to be the first name of a holy man commonly known as “Guru Gorakh Nath”.

The word “dhandaa” means “business”, and somehow the phrase “gorakh-dhandaa” has come to mean an “intricate problem or situation”.

I can’t say why the word “gorakh” appears in this phrase --- may be, Guru Gorakh Nath was known to be apt in solving intricate problems or resolving intricate situations confronting his followers. Just a thought!

Raj Kumar***

[Vijay Kumar]

You are correct Raj sahib. Guru Gorkh Nath supposedly knew jaNtar maNtar taNtar and could solve intricate problems. Hence, gorkh-dhaNda, a problem that only Gorkh Nath could solve.

Vijay

This discussion has become interesting. At the risk of unnecessarily prolonging this further I wanted to add just a few further thoughts.

Although the work of a 'gawaala' could be cumbersome Naseer sahib, you don't suggest that it is like a conundrum or riddle or an inextricable problem? If at all, it is less troubling than say rearing horses, pigs, buffaloes or even sheep. So this line of reasoning does seem a bit far fetched.

Secondly, although Aniq sahib was correct in his interpretation of the phrase gorakh-dhanda, he in fact had attributed the meaning of goakh-dhanda to just the prefix, 'gorakh'. He has stated that it is this word which comes from sanskrit and means 'pechiida'. That's where this leg of the conversation started with Raj sahib's correction.

Well, I did some further research on the web. I saw one entry that the word 'gorakh' is a derivative of Turkish 'gaulak' which means money-box. That still does not quite lead us to the meaning of 'conundrum', 'enigma' etc.

There is a book by Dr Mohan Singh called 'Gorakhnath and Medieval Hindu Mysticism'. He researched it in 1934-35 and published it in 1935 (from Lahore). Following is a quotation from the pdf version of the book

"The name Gorakh* has yielded the compound, in the North-Indian vernacular, Gorakh-dhanda, which means an inextricable tangle, something insoluble. It is based on a consideration of the coiled and tangled piece of wood which is pierced and stringed with cotton thread; this dhanda, according to Dvivedi {Padumavaii, Grierson and Dvivedi, pp. 283-239), is carried by the Jogis".

This last part about tangled piece of wood of course leads to further speculation as to whether the word 'dhanda' is in fact 'DanDa', a wooden rod, and not 'peshaa'. English have a way of spelling the 'D/d' sound by adding a seemingly unnecessary 'h'. E.g. 'daal' (lentils) is spelled 'dhal' in many recipe books.

The book is available free on the internet.The pdf version is better as the other text versions are riddled with spelling errors. The relevant passage is at the beginning of page 42.

Best regards,

Vijay

Dear ALUPers:

Panjabi language has been the subject of much reference lately on ALUP. I think I may have promised to post the poem of Prof. Mohan Singh to which the Gorakh DhaNda piece makes the preface. Even if I didn't promise, here it is as I think it is quite a good one and once in a while, ALUP can put up with a Panjabi poem. And what better time now that we have been reading so much about Panjabi and Urdu.

Some one has asked me via PM to clarify the meaning of some words and I felt that it will be better to do it here as I realise that some words may be not just difficult but may exist only in Indian Panjab. I have addressed these words in the following text.
