The Story of Bibi Rajni

[pdost591]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ki Fateh!

I hope all the sangat are keeping well at this uncertain time.

I was wondering if the sangat could help me. I was reading the beautiful story about Bibi Rajni and her exemplary faith in god even when she was dealing with such adversities. It was a really pleasing story and all the more beautiful to come to know about the creation of Harimandir Sahib and the sarovar surrounding it.

This led me to watch the film "Dukh Bhanjan Tera Naam"  that had some stellar actors in it for its time. However from the story, there seemed to have some innaccuracies that I wanted other peoples thoughts and opinions on. I can't say I am too surprised for there to be some fabrication of truths in the film, especially from the indian film industry but some perspective would still be nice.

• They portray Duni Chand as a maharaja, whereas literature states that he is revenue collector "Kardar"
• There is also a portion in the movie where they go to Maa Chintapurni, and it is there where Bibi Rajni's husband appears to have the revelation of the lake (sarovar) where his leprosy can be cured. I cannot find any mention of this anywhere in any literature.

I fully appreciate that the film may have added certain portions in the film to suit a political narrative of that time and also to attract people to attract a certain demographic. If there is anyone who could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to apologise to anyone in the sangat for my ignorance from this post and also if I have offended anybody.

It's a nice old film that one. I guess they wanted the film to appeal to the wider Hindu audience so they added those particular scenes. There is no mention of Chintpurni in Bibi Rajnis story. There's also a scene where a snake around Shivas statue bites the rapist etc    I guess you can see the mata Chintpurni scene as, whatever power mata Chintpurni had she indicated that Guru Aamardas/Ramdas is the only and true cure, if she herself had the power she could of cured them herself ...

Bibi Rajnis story is one of the most beautiful in out ithiaas.
