There is this gurdwara which I think is lesser known  it's gurdwara charan kanwal in banga near nawanshahr. It's like a 10 min car drive from my nanke house. Guru hargobind sahib ji stayed at that place along with guru har rai sahib ji for 1 month after defeating painde khan. 

The gurdwara was built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh

Another very important gurdwara goindwal sahib. The baoli sahib was dug by guru amar das ji. I think the city was founded by guru angad dev ji? 

Sri Guru Angad Dev ji Maharaaj founded Khadur Sahib and Sri Guru Amar Das ji Maharaaj founded Goindwal Sahib, I think.

At Boali Sahib there are 84 steps (representing chaurasi lakh just, I think) and there is a bath down there. And people do a Japji Sahib on each step and go back down to do ishnaan and then do another Japji Sahib on the next step. It is said that wipes all your Paaps and it's quite cool.

Yeah I read how people do japji sahib on each step. 

Yeah in khadur sahib they have the actual baradari from where guru angad dev ji used to do parchhar they also have the well from where mata kiwi used water to prepare langar. Iv never been but id love to go and see those things.

I think I went when I was quite young, I remember there was a Ishnaan area where you go down steps but am not sure if it was Boali Sahib. I think it was, it was quite cool.

Yeah Guru ji mentions the place in Bachittar Natak. It was where they had their first battles apparently. 

 

ਚੌਪਈ ॥

CHAUPAI

ਰਾਜ ਸਾਜ ਹਮ ਪਰ ਜਬ ਆਯੋ ॥

ਜਥਾ ਸਕਤਿ ਤਬ ਧਰਮੁ ਚਲਾਯੋ ॥

When I obtained the position of responsibility, I performed the religious acts to the best of my ability.

ਭਾਂਤਿ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਬਨਿ ਖੇਲਿ ਸਿਕਾਰਾ ॥

ਮਾਰੇ ਰੀਛ ਰੋਝ ਝੰਖਾਰਾ ॥੧॥

I went hunting various kinds of animals in the forest and killed bears, nilgais (blue bulls) and elks.1.

ਦੇਸ ਚਾਲ ਹਮ ਤੇ ਪੁਨਿ ਭਈ ॥

ਸਹਰ ਪਾਵਟਾ ਕੀ ਸੁਧਿ ਲਈ ॥

Then I left my home and went to place named Paonta.

ਕਾਲਿੰਦ੍ਰੀ ਤਟਿ ਕਰੇ ਬਿਲਾਸਾ ॥

ਅਨਿਕ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਕੇ ਪੇਖਿ ਤਮਾਸਾ ॥੨॥

I enjoyed my stay on the banks of Kalindri (Yamuna) and saw amusement of various kind2.

ਤਹ ਕੇ ਸਿੰਘ ਘਨੇ ਚੁਨਿ ਮਾਰੇ ॥

ਰੋਝ ਰੀਛ ਬਹੁ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਬਿਦਾਰੇ ॥

 

There I killed may lions, nilgais and bears.

ਫਤੇ ਸਾਹ ਕੋਪਾ ਤਬਿ ਰਾਜਾ ॥

ਲੋਹ ਪਰਾ ਹਮ ਸੋ ਬਿਨੁ ਕਾਜਾ ॥੩॥

 

On this the king Fateh Shah become angry and fought with me without any reason.3.

    • Everything in Gurbani points us towards the Atma. Atma and Parmatma are the same… Atama and Parmatma is the source that creates and causes everything… What have the following items got in common? A fan. A television. A fridge. A radio. A computer..? These things are powered by electricity. Without electricity these things are lifeless. It’s the electricity that causes these things to function… Atma is the source of energy that allows everything to happen.    without Atma, we are lifeless… Call this Atama RAGUNATH…call this Atma by any other name…the fact remains that it’s the life force energy… Dieties also have the same Atma as humans, but they still part of the creation, and not the creator…  
    • Hi I want to know who’s ragunath in gurbani Hindu claim this word appear for ram chandra if we read guru teg bahadur maharaj salok maharaj clearly rejecting ram gayo ravan geo but at the last pangti Kahu naanak īh bipaṭi mai tek ēyk ragɦunaaṭɦ ॥55॥ Says Nanak, in this calamity, the Lord alone is my support who is this ragunaath why would maharaj use ragunath as refrence for god?
    • Throughout history we have been tested and tried. We remained steadfast and resiliant. The events that took place in Punjab and outside of Punjab in the past years made it quite clear we are big players in the game which kept the world powers on edge. It started off with the drug pandemic in Punjab, to the uproar by Bhai Amritpal Singh to the Farmer's protest. Outside of Punjab the deaths of Avtar Singh Khanda (UK) and Hardeep Singh Nijjar (Canada) created a stir within our community. This was probably our first real opportunity to establish something but how quickly members of our own community forget history. We have been a threat to civilization in the past and this is probably what the world powers are concerned about. However, may we continue grow and learn through Gurbani and like Jaswant Singh Khalra said: 'May the spirit of equal rights Punjab continue to kindle'. 
    • This is why people used to get married earlier in puratan times. Think about it, nowadays you legit have to be brahmacharya at ages when you're supposed to be married and producing children, which historically speaking, is unprecedented outside of the Sants in Indic tradition. 
    • I think that user has not been on the forum since around 2011. You can message me if you want.
