Yogi at Amritsar

[puzzled 2,247]

Was just watching a BOS video and bhai Jagraj Singh briefly narrated the story of how Sikhs during the time of Guru Arjan Dev Ji were digging at Amrtisar and as they kept on digging they discovered a meditating yogi underground. The Sikhs woke him up from his samadhi and he asked them if this is the age of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the Sikhs said yes its the age of Guru Nanak Dev ji but Guru Ji has left and that Guru Ram Das Ji is here now. The yogi then took amrit from Guru Ram Das ji and passed away, got mukti. So the yogi had been meditating on Waheguru ji and waiting for Guru Nanak Dev Ji for 1000s of years and when he took amrit from Guru sahib he got mukti and left his body.

This is the first time i heard this sakhi   It is a beautiful sakhi    anyone know more about it?   

I read how when Baba Deep Singh Ji met Guru Gobind Singh Ji  someone from sangat said something like how young Baba ji is, Guru Gobind Singh ji then said that Baba Deep Singh Ji is not young and that he is 1000s and 1000s of years old and has been gone through life after life searching for him and that he has finally met him.

Sikh Ithihas is full of these types of sakhia. 

I'm pretty sure that Gurdwara Santokhsar now stands at the place that this event took place. Its tradition that when Sikhs go to Sri Amritsar on a yatra, they'll visit Ramsar, Santoksar, Bibeksar, Kolsar and then Darbar Sahib.

If you have time, then I'd suggest listening to the ongoing katha by Bhai Vishal Singh centred on Sikh Ithihas from the Gurus's era. Bhai Sahib narrates sakhia from Gur Partap Suraj Granth on a daily basis I think. They're normally on Sangat TV but available on Youtube as well.

Thanks  Yeah i just checked and this event took place at what is today Gurdwara Santokhsar    But it was Guru Ram Das Ji not Guru Arjan Dev Ji as i have written    I'll correct it now

thanks I'll check Bhai Vishal Singh on youtube.

Yes Guru Amar Das Ji called the Yogi "Santokha" and spot where Dome was dug, a gurudwara called "Santokhsar" stands there. 

Bhai Santokh Ji was originally from previous jug and requested his Guru to give him mukht (or reunite him with God after death). However, this Guru replied I don't have that power, but Guru Nanak will come and give u mukht. So, Bhai ji dug the spot n secluded himself in a dome waiting for Guru Ji.

Yes to have so much santokh! Then surviving thru everything. He was massaged to help get his breathing back down, as he was breathing in his head (Dasam Duwaar).

yeah!  all that faith and patience in guru sahib, dnt think there are many people who are like that today. These days patience lasts around 1 min and people snap, and faith in waheguru is like a challenge or a deal these days, people dnt get one thing and they start questioning the existence of waheguru, imagine having so much faith and patience that you do tapasya for 1000s of years waiting for that union. 

i'll try and go gurdwara santoksar sahib nxt time i go india,  amritsar is a bit far from where we live and once where there everyone is like "chalo chalo chiti kar"     and they just want to quickly get it over and done with    really annoying.

I have a plan! Will get it done one day. With Kirpa the plan is to visit India ALONE and visit places at my own leisure. Definitely would do 84 Japji Sahibs at Bauli Sahib on the 84 steps. Travelling alone means you yer own boss
