Celebrating Prakash Gurpurab of Dhan Guru Ramdass Sahib Ji

Guru Ramdass Sahib Ji Message for sikhs:

ਗੁਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਜੋ ਸਿਖੁ ਅਖਾਏ ਸੁ ਭਲਕੇ ਉਠਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥ ਉਦਮੁ ਕਰੇ ਭਲਕੇ ਪਰਭਾਤੀ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ਕਰੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਸਰਿ ਨਾਵੈ ॥

Meaning: One who calls himself a Sikh of the Guru Nanak, shall rise in the early morning hours and meditate on the Lord’s Name. Upon arising early in the morning, he is to bathe, and cleanse himself in the pool of nectar.

ਉਪਦੇਸਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਪੁ ਜਾਪੈ ਸਭਿ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਪਾਪ ਦੋਖ ਲਹਿ ਜਾਵੈ ॥ ਫਿਰਿ ਚੜੈ ਦਿਵਸੁ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਗਾਵੈ ਬਹਦਿਆ ਉਠਦਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥

Gurudwara Nagina Ghat Sahib

Gurudwara Nagina Ghat Sahib stands on the bank of Godavari river, about 400 mtrs., southwest of Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib. According to a folklore, a rich merchant went to Guru Gobind Singh ji while he was watching the river flow. Proud of his wealth, he presented a nagina (precious stone set in gold) to the Guru, who took it and casually threw it in the river. The merchant bore a look as if pitying the Guru that he did not understand the value of the nagina.

Gurudwara Shikar Ghat Sahib

Gurudwara Shikar Ghat Sahib is a beautiful piece of architecture perched on a low hill near the bank of Godavari river, with high wooded hills in the background. Its distance from Sachkand Sri Hazur Sahib is about six kilometers. A bridge was constructed by kar-seva and built over the river Godavari.
A legend is associated with this shrine, too. It is said that Guru Gobind Singh ji came here following the chase (shikar) and killed a rabbit which in a former birth had been Bhai Mula, who belonged to Sialkot (now in Pakistan). He had once accompanied Guru Nanak Dev ji during his travels. Once when Guru Nanak Dev ji went to visit him, Mula avoided the Guru and hid himself for fear that the Guru might take him away on another long journey. Sensing this Guru Nanak Dev ji went away, but such is the travesty of fate that Mula died soon after of snakebite. His repentant soul had since been wandering in different sub-human bodies until, Guru Gobind Singh ji emancipated it by the touch of his arrow.

Gurudwara Banda Ghat Sahib

Gurudwara Banda Ghat Sahib is situated about 400 mtrs., upstream from Nagina Ghat. This is where Madho Das, a hot headed and headstrong Bairagi Sadhu had his abode. Guru Gobind Singh had heard about him from Mahant Jait Ram of Singh Dadu Dwara. His original name was Lachhman Das. He was native of Rajauri in Jammu and Kashmir. A Rajput by birth he had been trained in the martial arts and had been fond of hunting. A chance killing of a pregnant doe at his hands had transformed him into a remorseful sinner in search of redemption. Having acquired some occult powers through austerities and single minded devotion to learning of such arts, he had become an arrogant recluse impatient with lesser mortals.
