^{Today’s Hukamnama is by Sri Guru Ram Das Ji in the Raag Jaitsaree and on Ang 696 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj.  The Raag Jaitsaree has a feeling whereby you cannot live without someone or something.  This Raag is as if your desperately calling/reaching out for that beloved.  You’re calling and beckoning to that beloved.} 

^{Imagine the longing that Guru Ram Das Ji felt for Guru Amar Das Ji. The calling out that he had in his heart, how he felt when he met Guru Amar Das Ji, and how Guru Ram Das Ji felt blessed by the sewa of Guru Amar Das Ji. Ghar Pehla. In the first house. Cha-upday. Pdha means a foot. Cha-upday means this shabad has four feet, four parts.}
