Prasadi


Recommended Posts

Prasadi was the name of a baby elephant , which was gifted to Guru Gobind Singh ji. The prince of Assam, whose parents had sought blessings of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji for birth of a son, came and presented it as a gift to Guruji. The young elephant was white or blue in color. He was trained to perform many acts.

He wold hold a jug of water and wash Guruji's feet, and then dry them with a towel. He wiped Guruji's shoes and arranged them properly for Guruji to put them on. He fetched an arrow discharged by Guruji. He would wave peacock feathers in a knot over Guruji. At night he lighted two torches and showed way to Guruji. Many people came to see him.

Unfortunately, the elephant died during seige of Anandpur due to starving.
