1/ Guru Ji had one wife - Mata Nanaki Ji "Eka Naaree Jati Hoye, Par Naaree Bhain Dhee Vakhaanai... Practicing chastity with having (only) one wife, recognise every other woman as your sister or daughter"

2/ Kiratpur Sahib = where Sixth and Seventh Nanak Ji passed away and their ashes were scattered in the nearby river.

... The Hindu mentality of throwing ashes in the Ganges (River Ganga) has been transformed into Sikhi - people have superstition that they have to throw ashes at Kiratpur Sahib.

The Sikh Rehat Maryada states that especially choosing Kiratpur Sahib to throw your ashes = manmat. We should choose the nearest river or flowing water to dispose of the ashes of a dead person.

so why is it people say he had 3 wives?

is it true guru arjun dev ji got married once when he was 14, i know that seems a load of bull, but its what i heard off somewhere. cant remember where exactly though.

I read at www.allaboutsikhs.com that guru hargobind Ji was married twice on the same day, tho i can't recall the detailed account of his marriage or wives
