Guru Nanak Jayanti 2017: go on a Gurudwara trail this Guru Parv!

Guru Nanak Jayanti remains a festival that does not need to last presented. By the time the Bhakti movement was in full sway in medieval India, a great Messiah had to descend from the heavens to hold many souls who remained drowned in the ocean of worldliness. When Guru Parv 2017 approaches, he quickly deviates through Memorial Lane to virtually visit Gurudwara, who associated with him and other Sikh Gurus.

Gurudwara Panja Sahib, Pakistan

During his many trips around the world, Guru Nanak sensed Hasan Abdal in Pakistan with his student Bhai Mardana. In the area where Nanak Dev began to live, a saint named Hazrat Shah Wali Qandhari lived. When the devotees were attracted to the speeches and kirtans of Nanak Dev, a jealous Wali developed hatred towards him. Once, when Nanak Dev gave Bhai Mardana to fetch drinking water near Wali's house, Wali refused categorically to allow him to drink water.

When Bhai Mardana returned the case to Nanak Dev, the guru compassionately chased a nearby stone, and that's it! Freshwater has been created underground. This incident changed the whale to a hard heart. The rock, set apart by Guru Nanak, has its palm and is duly worshiped in Gurudwara Panja Sahi.

Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, Leh-Kargil road

These Gorodwara have been built to commemorate a fantastic event related to Guru Nanak, demonstrating his power and control over the forces of evil. Gurudwara is located 15 miles from Les on the Via Cargill and was built in 1517. According to the story, there was already a terrible demon living torturing people in the area where Gorodwara is located. When people asked for help, Guru Nanak went to the city and lived there at the will of God, and even gave speeches to enlighten the masses of ignorance.

Soon, Guru Nanak met people and won their trust. Therefore, the demon could not tolerate this and tried in vain to kill the guru by throwing a large rock at him while meditating. However, the block melted like a wax as soon as it reached the body of Guru Nanak, also the imprint of his body remained engraved on the block. Once again, the frustrated demon tried to kick the stone with his feet to kill Guru Nanak, but it failed again. Finally, he surrendered and prayed to the holy saints for forgiveness and began leading a noble life. The local lamas address Guru Nanak as a Nanak Lama and worship him genuinely.

The Gurudwara is the home of the rock, which has traces of Nanak Ji and the foot of the devil and currently has the support of the Indian army. Like all Gurudwara, Pathar Sahib also has regular langars to satisfy the devotees.

Gurudwara Manikaran Sahib, Kullu

Once, during his stay to Manikaran, Guru Nanak asked his student Bhai Mardana to give alms for the Langars to the villagers. He came back with wheat flour, which was suitable for cooking Chapati. However, it was not planned to make a fire to cook. To solve this problem, Guru Nanak took Mardana to raise a rock that lay on the ground and, as mysteriously he did; a hot spring appeared in this place. When the homemade chapatis were placed at this time, they flowed without a trace and reappeared when Mardana prayed to God at the request of her guru and promised to donate part of her food in the name of God. Later, a gurudwara was erected to commemorate this event, and visitors bathe in the hot spring before paying their respects to the sanctum sanctorum.
