Pakistan Gurdwara Yatra 2006

[Sat1176]

Here are some pictures I took during my visit to the gurdwaras in Pakistan.

Gurdwara Bhai Joga Singh

This is gurdwara where Bhai Joga Singh took his laava. Upon reading the note from Guru Gobind Singh ji after his second laam he tied the palla to his kirpan and got up and started his journey towards Guru ji. His wife took the remaining two laava with his kirpan.

Gurdwara Panja Sahib (Eimenabad)

Walk to Vali Khadhari's House & Smaadh

Poor Mardana had to walk up and down 3 times.

Still long way to go..

Made it to the top

Wish I had a photo from the top. Defies logic how Vali Khandhari managed to roll down the rock to where it is situated today. If they tell you to leave you cameras behind and that you can't take photos up there when you go don't listen to them. Wish I had taken mine. :sady:

Gurdwara Sachcha Sauda

This is the gurdwara where Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji served langar to the starving jogis at a very young age with the 20 rupees his father gave him to start a business.

The tree under which the jogis were sitting when guru ji served them langar.

Gurdwara Darbar Sahib (Kartarpur)

This is where Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji spent the final years of his life farming.

Spot where the muslims burried half of Guru ji's remaining shawl and flowers. No body was ever found.

Spot where the Sikhs cremated the other half of the shawl and flowers.

Gurdwara Rorri Sahib

When the armies of Babar entered Punjab, Guru Nanak Dev Ji was present in Eimenabad. At the time of catpure of Eimenabad, many locals were arrested, among whom was Guru Nanak Dev Ji also. At the time of the arrest, he was sitting on the pebbles and was busy in his prayers. The Gurdwara stands at the place of the pebbles.

Gurdwara Chakki Sahib

When Baber captured Guru Nanak Dev Ji he was put to hard labour in a millstone. With Guru ji's nadar the Chakkis started turning on their own.

Final photos added of Nankana Sahib, Bhai Laloo's residence and more..

Enjoy

I can't recommend going to Pakistan enough. The muslims there are so friendly and welcoming. They show so much respect and satkar to Sardars you will be amazed. They are the ones serving the langar to the sangat whilst japping Satnaam Waheguru. You won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes. :TH:
