King Shiv Nabh of Sri Lanka did convert to Sikhi and sent preachers far and wide in his kingdom. The Portugese and Dutch did destroy alot of the indigenous culture. The locals reverted back to their old ways with passage of time just like the Nanakpanthis in Arabia, Mesopotamia etc.

Best of luck with your research, Sarvjeet Singh. Try to contact Harpal Singh Kasoor (Canada), he is researching Guru Nanak Sahib's udasis since decades, and I'm sure a collaboration would have great results.

The last remnants of Guru Nanak Sahibs visits in many places are vanishing, so we should support brothers like Sarvjeet Singh to locate, preserve this history and also raise awareness about it.

Dhan Guru Nanak, Dhan Guru Nanak...

Thank you ...Waheguru twadi gal nu puri kare.

And I will be very much grateful , if you can provide me contact details of Harpal Singh Kasoor(Canada), Who is researching Guru Nanak Sahib ji's udasi.

Sri Lanka had an islamic past so be careful of encountering things like mardana nagar the persian terms can be derived from other names. When you look in books about guru nanak and sri lanka look up it's older name ceylon.

Thank you Dalbir Singh..

It was a valuable feedback..we will definately move our research in this direction.

excellent suggestion. Sikhs like Sarvjeet Singh Jee and Harpal Singh Kasoor can combine resources and should work in collaboration. So much history of Satguru Jee is lost and remains to be discovered. I remember reading a book by a Singh who did research of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Jee's travels in Buddhist countries like Tibet, Sikim and Bhutan. Guru Sahib kirpa karn te bal bakshan so that His Sikhs can discover this very important history.

Thank you Jonny101,

Yes ,I have also read various books and sakhiyans related to the research done by our various Sikh brothers and I bow my head in front of them all for their true spirits .

I need help of everyone here so that our Sikh religion can be enlighted magnificentely

Waheguru ji ka khalsa...waheguru ji ki fateh!!!

Research Continues (PART -3)....

On internet,it was mentioned that at Dbar in Srilanka,there's a gurudwara, but when we reached there , there was no gurudwara, we researched a lot, we asked local people about it ,we went to every single lane in batticaloa to understand the truth , we found that there was a hindu temple, where scholars disclosed that its the place where Hanuman Ji , flamed out the fire on his tail, which Ravan had flamed , when Hanuman ji came to his kingdom, to rescue Sita ji.

So, after discussing further history of batticaloa with the scholars there in Srilanka, We found that near baticolova at kurukkalmadam , Guru Nanak dev ji came and even in our Sakhiyan ,their are such evidences..

We visited kurukkalmadam and we started looking for our traces all over the city, we reached every possible agency, all the local residents about the history of the place, also went to every possible temple, mosque, church because their is maximum average of muslim and hindu religions.

In Kurukkalmadam , we where being treated as the chief guest by one of the government school , who were organizing there annual sports day . We were given a true respect from the authority and we felt pleasured watching school kids performing their best.

Research continues(PART-4)....

Next day, we went to the temple in Kurukkalmadam and it was divine being in that temple, we researched about the temple from various local people and priest of the temple, who disclosed that there is a pond behind the temple.

The fact was that kurukkalmadam is a place which is of 1km range and at one end their is the silent sea and other side a rough and deep sea and it was strange finding sea in the middle of that place.

That water of the pond was different...felt instincts of powerfulness(This was the first time during my whole journey , i felt instincts that were so powerful and peaceful).

Thanks bhaaji for doing your wonderful research on unknown and lost chapters of Sikh history. Wish you all the success in your research. How are the locals treating you, have you faced any difficulty as a Sardar in a country where there are probably just a handful of Sikhs?

Veer Sarvjeet Singh,

I will PM you some details of Harpal Singh Kasoor soon, but it is difficult to contact him because he travels alot for his research.

Did you find the stone with details of Jagat Guru Nanak Sahib in Anuradhapura Museum?

Could you elaborate on the Sinhalese book on Guru Nanak Sahib which was given to you? What is said in it and do the locals still 'revere' 'Nanak Acharya'?

Looks like a lotus flower, something which takes part in much of hindu themes as well as in gurbani:

Page 24, Line 3

ਐਬ ਤਨਿ ਚਿਕੜੋ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਮੀਡਕੋ ਕਮਲ ਕੀ ਸਾਰ ਨਹੀ ਮੂਲਿ ਪਾਈ ॥

ऐब तनि चिकड़ो इहु मनु मीडको कमल की सार नही मूलि पाई ॥

Aib ṯan cẖikṛo ih man mīdko kamal kī sār nahī mūl pā▫ī.

The defect of the body which leads to sin is the mud puddle, and this mind is the frog, which does not appreciate the lotus flower at all.

Guru Nanak Dev

The lotus flower is beauty surrounded by mud, just like a gursikh lives in sikhi within kaljug, the gursikh still keeps high beautiful virtue being in grace surrounded by paap. The lotus flower has been a very ancient indian analogy to explain synchronous living and to be in harmony and grace.

Gurudwara Pehli Patshahi (Kurukal Mandap)

KURUKAL MANDAP - A village in Sri Lanka, visited by Guru Nanak Sahib and Bhai Mardana. When Guru Sahib visited this place there was no village. The village owes its name to Guru Sahib. Kurukul Mandap means “Guru Da Nagar”. The tradition of the visit of a saintly missionary from the Punjab to that place is still well known to the local residents. According to a tradition Bhai Changa Bhatra belonged to this area.

Gurudwara Pehli Patshahi (Koti)

KOTI - A town in Sri Lanka, visited by Guru Nanak Sahib and Bhai Mardana. At the time of the visit of Guru Sahib, Koti was an independent State. Dharma Parkarma Bahu IX(1489-1513) ruled it. He gave a warm welcome to Guru Sahib. In the court of the ruler, the Buddhists and the Hindus held a debate with Guru Nanak Sahib. Guru Nanak Sahib finally succeeded in making them agree the supremacy of the Sikh philosophy. The ruler himself was highly impressed by Guru Sahib’s teachings.

Gurudwara Pehli Patshahi (Battikola)

A town in Sri Lanka, visited by Guru Nanak Sahib and Bhai Mardana. At the time of the visit of Guru Sahib, Baticulla was known as Matiakullam. Raja Shiv Nabh ruled it. Bhai Mansukh of Lahore had, earlier, visited this town and had told the ruler about Guru Nanak Sahib. When Guru Sahib visited the town, Raja Shiv Nabh’s joy knew no bounds. He requested Guru Sahib to stay at his palace. Guru Sahib visited his palace but stayed at a place, about 20 km from Baticulla, now known as Kurukul Mandap.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
