Khalsa Mahima

Khalsa Mahima (or Khalsa Mehma; Punjabi: ਖਾਲਸਾ ਮਹਿਮਾ lit. 'Praise of the Khalsa') is the name of two compositions that praise the Khalsa in poetic form, composed by Guru Gobind Singh, each present in Dasam Granth and Sarbloh Granth.

In Dasam Granth, the composition is present at end of the 33 Savaiyes and is followed in sequence by the Shastar Naam Mala. It contains four stanzas whilst others describe it as containing three stanzas and a couplet (Dohra). It is essentially an utterance the Guru gave to a Brahmin at the base of the Naina Devi temple, when the latter was angered by Sikhs receiving alms rather than Brahmins priests after a sacrificial ceremony. The Guru states the Brahmin will receive gifts but the almighty will look after the Guru and ensure his success.

This composition praises the Khalsa army. It was composed in Kapal Mochan after Battle of Bhangani, when Guru Gobind Singh provided robes of honor to his warriors and was addressed to Mishar, a Hindu Scholar. It is believed that the composition was addressed to Pandit Kesho Dutt, a Hindu scholar, on the conclusion of a Yagna at Naina Devi, although the Yagna is not treated as a Sikh ritual.

The second part of this composition is recited among Sikhs in Kirtans:

ਜੁੱਧ ਜਿਤੇ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਸੁ ਦਾਨ ਕਰੇ ॥

ਅਘ ਅਉਘ ਟਰੈ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਫੁਨ ਧਾਮ ਭਰੇ ॥

ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਸੁ ਬਿੱਦਿਆ ਲਈ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਸਭ ਸ਼ੱਤ੍ਰੁ ਮਰੇ ॥

ਇਨ ਹੀ ਕੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕੇ ਸਜੇ ਹਮ ਹੈਂ ਨਹੀ ਮੋਸੋ ਗਰੀਬ ਕਰੋਰ ਪਰੇ ॥੨॥
