Chunian is located 75 km away from Lahore. As Guru Nanak’s reputation had spread all around, people flocked to him as they came to know of his visit to the place. Mahant Janki Parsad, Kanpatta Yogi Satnath, Roopa Bhagat, Sheikh Dawood Kirmani, Peer Ganj Baksh and others came to him, heard his discourses and were pleased to keep Guru Nanak with them. [39] Gurdwara Sahib construted to commemorate his visit to Chinian is slowly collapsing due to neglect.</p><p></p><p><strong>GURDWARA CHOTA NANKIANA HUJRA SHAH MUQEEM, OKARA </strong></p><p></p><p>This sacred shrine is situated on the road leading to Bonga Awan from Hujra Shah Muqeem and is exactly one km from the city. Sat Guru Nanak Dev Ji walked to this place from Manak Deke. Once it was a beautiful Guruasthan but now their are only fields. Even now the people know it by the name of Chota Nankiana. 9.5 Ghumaon of land is in the name of this Gurdwara in this village. Beside this Gurdwara Sahib owns land in a number of other villages. Fairs used to be held in Assu and Kattak but now a banyan tree and well stand as a reminder of the by gone day.[40]</p><p></p><p><strong>GURDWARA CHOTA NANAKIANA AT DIPALPUR DISTRICT OKARA </strong></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]22274[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong> Photo 64: Gurdwara Sri Chota Nanakiana Sahib, Depalpur</strong></p><p></p><p>Guru Nanak’s next visit was to Dipalpur. It is nine kos from Chunian. Building is of concrete. Depalpur Gurdwara Sri Chota Nanakiana Sahib is on Okara Road in Depalpur, District Okara West Punjab,Pakistan situated in the village of Depalpur. Guru Nanak visited the place while on the way to Pakpattan. Dipalpur is a great historical city and once it used to be the capital of Punjab. At. present it is the tehsil headquarter of Okara district. A shrine of Guru Nanak Dev Ji stands gracefully outside the town in south-eastern side. It is called Gurdwara Chota Nanakiana Sahib. Guru Nanak made his abode under a dead pipal tree which became green again and standing even today. He cured a leper named Nuri (Nauranga) whose grave is behind the Gurdwara Sahib. There are 25 ghumaon of land from Kamboh Sikhs of Mancharian village and one ghumaon is outside this town, beside this there is a big estate in the name of Gurdwara. The priests used to be "Bedi Singhs", Prakash does not take place now, only the vacant darbar is there.</p><p></p><p>Bhai Hazoor Singh Sehaj Dhari, a descendent of Bhai Nathoo Ram had in his house the cot (Manji) granted by Guru Har Rai Ji. It was 5.75 feet long 3 feet wide and 1.25 feet high. It was woven with red and white thread. It had colourful legs and it was made out of black wood. There was an a 1 mi rah of engraved wood. It is said that this almirah along with Guru Granth Sahib Ji was granted to Bhai Nathoo Ji by the Tenth Guru. Now all these remain only in memories and on the pages of the books. 98 Gurdwara is now in dilapidated stage due to constant neglect. Gurdwara had an income of Rs 500/- [41]</p><p></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>PEHLI PATSHAHI, PAKPATTAN CITY</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong> [ATTACH=full]22275[/ATTACH]</strong></p><p><strong> Photo 65: Gurdwara Pehli patshahi Pakpattan Cigty</strong></p><p></p><p>Sheikh Ibrahim Sani was the twelfth Sajjada Nashin of Sheikh Farid’s <em>khanqah</em> at Pakpattan [42]. He was popularly known as Bala Pir. Meeting of the two is quite interesting. When Guru Nanak met him he was quite young and known for his piety, simplicity, and wisdom. One day his disciple Kamal was collecting fire wood from the forest for the langar (free kitchen) of the <em>Khanqah</em>. At a distance of two miles from the city he saw a divine man sitting under a tree with a bard and an attendant. In a very melodious voice he was singing the following hymn:</p><p></p><p>The Spirit of God is the tablet, In His Hand is the Pen,</p><p>He writes the destiny of mankind.</p><p>Think only of One God, Why ever reflect on any other.</p><p></p><p>Sheikh Kamal went close to Guru Nanak. After paying homage he asked the meaning of the couplet. The Master explained it and treated Kamal with tender affection. Kamal went to his khanqah and reported to Sheikh Ibrahim Sani , that a great saint who appeared to be a Hindu, emphasized on the Oneness of God, and like the Muslim theologians, he also talks of the Writing and the Pen of God. There was such a glow on his face that he appeared to have achieved the presence of God. On hearing this, Sheikh Ibrahim Sani remarked skeptically: “If he is a Hindu then it is not possible that he has achieved the light of God, and if he has acquired the supreme enlightenment then he is not a Hindu.[43] Take one of my questions to him. If he gives a satisfactory answer then everything you say is true, otherwise I am not prepared to believe that he is an enlightened sage.” Kamal brought this question to Guru Nanak.</p><p></p><p>There is One God, but two paths: Hinduism and Islam.Which one is acceptable? Which one is to be rejected?</p><p></p><p>Guru Nanak replied:</p><p></p><p>God is One, The Path is One. Accept the Path of Truth Reject all other ways [44].</p><p></p><p>On hearing this reply Sheikh Ibrahim at once went to pay his respects to Guru Nanak. He greeted Nanak saying Salam—alekam. (Peace of God be with you) to which Guru Nanak replied: “Alekh ko Salam hai.” I Salute the Infinite Lord. Sheikh Ibrahim asked: ‘‘O Dervish! Are you a Hindu or a Muslim.” Guru Nanak replied: “If I say I am a Hindu, I would be telling a lie, I am also not a Muslim.”[45] And then explaining his position, Guru Nanak continued: “The human body of both the Hindus and Muslims is made of the same elements; so I do not recognize any physical difference between them. The spirit of the same One God pervades all Hindus and Muslims. The same God judges the deeds of all. He who serves the One God sincerely and truly receives light and grace from Him.[46] It is not by mere profession of a creed that man can be saved but by his deeds. The virtues and noble deeds of both the Hindus and Muslims are blessed by God while the wicked deeds of both of them are condemned and punished by Him. I am a servant of God and a brother of true devotees of all men, no matter to which creed they belong. Sheikh Ibrahim embraced Guru Nanak.</p><p>The discussion between the two then turned on the life and shlokas of Sheikh Farid. Sheikh Ibrahim Saniconfessed certain ambiguity in the shlokas of Sheikh Farid which had been piously preserved in the khanqah and asked Guru Nanak his opinion about them. “Is it possible,” asked Sheikh Ibrahim, “to be so tolerant, as Sheikh Farid suggests in this shloka:</p><p></p><p>If someone smites your face, O Farid,</p><p>Return him not a blew for blow;</p><p>Nay, kiss his feet who smites you;</p><p>Forgive him, and go home in peace.[47]</p><p></p><p>Explaining it Guru Nanak said: “An enlightened saint should have the humility and patience of the earth. If anyone hits you with his hand, or abuses you, do not hit him back and do not soil your mouth with abuse. But say: ‘Has my bony body hurt your tender hand? If so forgive me for that.’[48] Sheikh Ibrahim Sani was deeply impressed by this interpretationof ethics of tolerance of Sheikh Farid.</p><p></p><p>According to the Janam Sakhis Sheikh Ibrahim, who was a young man, entertained Guru Nanak for many days. He asked Guru Nanak to compose a prayer of glorification of the One God, and in response to this request, Guru Nanak is said to have composed his famous Asa-ki-Var, which is sung by the Sikhs early in the morning. Guru Nanak left the copy prepared by his own hands with Sheikh Ibrahim and it is said that Guru Arjan procured it from his successors when he wanted to compile the Adi Granth. In return, Sheikh Ibrahim gave Guru Nanak a correct copy of the mystic poems of Sheikh Farid, which was preserved by Guru Nanak and given to his successors.[49] All Janam Sakhis including the older copies of Bala Janam Sakhi clearly state that the slokas preserved in theAdi Granth are the compositions of Sheikh Farid. Accounts of the visit in various Janamsakhis are as under”</p><p></p><p>(a) Janam Sakhi Bhai Bala: Sheikh Brahm pas jae kehya, Pir Salamat Nanak sii ain Khudae ki murat hai, mai dekh aya han; Allah nu pachata. hai; so haq tala nu apdya hai; Pir ne kehya : Hindu kya, te Khudae Id siirat kya, mera sval lai ja; jab badtos tan habo sac nahi ta sabh jhuth.</p><p></p><p>(b) Janam sakhi Bhai Bala: Guruji Ravi nadi te Beasa de vich jahe. Pattan Sheikh Farid de do kos de farak te ae biathe; Pattan da Pir, Sheikh Farid di aulad Sheikh Braham aha; Sheikh Braham da murid Khudae da pyara laktfian cunan baharvar ayasi, Kamal darvesh. Janam Sakhi Meharban also have the similar account. The mystic Pen and the mystic Record are symbolic foundation of the Revelation to man in Islam. The whole of the Sura 68 in the Koran is given the title “AI Salam”, “The Pen”.</p><p></p><p>(c) Janam Sakhi Bhai Bala: Sheikh Brahm pas jae kehya, Pir Salamat Nanak sii ain Khudae ki murat hai, mai dekh aya han; Allah nu pachata. hai; so haq tala nu apdya hai; Pir ne kehya : Hindu kya, te Khudae Id siirat kya, mera sval lai ja; jab badtos tan habo sac nahi ta sabh jhuth.</p><p></p><p>(d) Janam Sakhi Meharban, p.62Sheikh Braham puchia: Fakir tun Hindu ke Musalman? tan Babe</p><p></p><p>kehya sloka: “Hindu kahan tan mariya, Musalman bhi nah.</p><p></p><p>(e)Janamsakhi Meharban p.63: ‘eh sarlr panjan tatan ka putla hai, ar parmatma is mai gupt vartada hai, so panj tata Hindu, Musalman me ek hi hain; ar parmatma sabh sarlron me sata de riha hai; tante Hindu Musliman kis nu kahlyai’.</p><p></p><p>(f) Gurmukhap ko sabh te neecha jante hain; ate sabh te ucha hovte hain tante Farid ne kehya, ki jo tujhe durbachan kahe uska hi muh fika hoya hai, tera to kichh gaya ha nahi; ar je tujhe must ka prahar keeya, hai ta jaise uske hath ko dukh hua hai taisai tere sarir ko hua hai; tante uske pain par; ke jane mainu kise ne dukh dena tha ab tere hath se jo must lagl hai so ab mere dukh ka tala hua hai ar mera sareer bajar saman hai ar tera hath komal hai so je apnu dukh pahunchia tan muaf karna.</p><p></p><p>(g) Sheikh Farid: Adi Granth: p. 1378)</p><p></p><p>The sacred shrine in the outskirts of the old city is related with Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This locality is known as Samadhan. There used to be a shrine at the spot where Sat Gur Nanak Dev Ji had stayed whose priests were Udasi Sadhus. There are countless samadhs of Sadhus ail around the Gurdwara and hence it came to be called "Samadhan". Thousands of ghumaon of land is endowed to this shrine. The Gurdwara and Samadhs have now vanished. There is Baba Farid Ganjshakar College at this place now. This college was housed in the Gurdwara before the construction of its new building which has been built after demolishing the Gurdwara but its tank has been saved as a relic.

Guru Nanak Ji collected the verses of Baba Farid Ji from Baba Ibrahim Farid Sani from here in the 16th century, which were later included in Adi Granth by Guru Arjun Dev Ji. Guru Nanak ji collected 112 Shaloks and 4 Shabad of Baba Farid which were added by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Adi Granth. The area around Gurdwara is known by the name of Tibba Nanaksar Chak No 38 SP and this locality consists of about 200 houses.The shrine is on a mound. It is a double storey beautiful building with domes. This sacred place is very big and beautifully built. A number of rooms, dining hall, a well with Persian wheel and a Baoli (deep well with steps) built by the beautiful tank outside Gurdwara at grace to the elevation of the building. The tomb and mosque of Baba Fateh Ullah Shah Noori Chishti who was a descendant of Baba Farid are next to this shrine. Its building was being used by villagers as cattle shed and its walls are plastered with cow dung cakes and rooms filled with filth and cattle feed. Many refugee families are settled in, the rooms of the Gurdwara. A big Jagir is in the name of the Gurdwara is in the neighbouring villages. The building is in good condition as the Govt of Pakistan got it repaired in 1989.The caretaker of this abandoned Gurdwara Sahib is a Muslim by the name of Maulvi Ghulam Mustafa. The village people donated 12 ghumaon of land to the Gurdwara. Once, a fair used to be held on the 1st of Katak. A Pakistani Sikh, Sunny Singh from Sahiwal renovated the small structure of the Gurdwara Sahib. The building of the Gurdwara Sahib is in very bad shape and is in need of repairs. Shakkarpur-based businessman and philanthropist Deva Sikandar Singh said he pleaded a number of times with the ETPB and PSGPC to let him undertake the repair/renovation and preservation work of the gurdwara, but his pleas were turned down saying that the board cannot hand over its property to any private individual and will itself undertake the work with the ministry’s approval .Gopal Singh Chawla was trying to renovate and repair the building. It is very important to save it as this place holds an important and prominent position in the literature and history of Punjab. Sangat should raise their voice and contribute towards saving this historical Gurdwara Sahib.</p><p></p><p>To reach the Gurdwara. you can easily get a motor rickshaw, Tonga or a bus to go to this place from railway station Pakpattan.

It is also known as t hak Pi w an Sahib Chawli Mashaekh or Chak Haji Sher. The buses going from Burewala Railway Station to Sahoki normally go to this village. The mazaar of Diwan Haji Sher Mohammad is in this village. His real name was Mahan Chavar. He was the son of Raja of Chunian, Mahi Pal and Rani Chunian. "Kangan Baras" was the name of his sister and the famous town of Kangan pur of Kasur district named after her exists even today. Mahan Chavar died around 730 AD.

As per the Janamsakhi, at that time he was wearing traditional jacket (cotton made off sleeve), turban same as Muslim Saints and forehead painted as Hindu devotee that was a symbol of coherence between Hindus and Muslims.</p><p> [ATTACH=full]22280[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>Photo 70: Gurdwara Thada Sahib Multan</strong></p><p></p><p>This holy shrine is located in the corridor of the tomb of Shah Shams Sabzwari on Shah Shams road. A beautiful building touching the sky is visible just after crossing the Daulat Gate Chowk in Multan City. This is the tomb of Shah Shams. Guru Nanak stayed outside the city when he came to Multan.</p><p></p><p>It was here that Shah Rukne Alam sent him a glass of milk filled to the brim which meant that Multan was already over crowded. Guru Dev sent back the same glass of milk after placing a flower petal on top, conveying to him that he would accommodate himself similarly as the flower petal had made room for itself in the glass filled with milk. The Guru also taught them not to worship graves. The Guru also taught them that once the holy water of the River Ganges merged into the ocean, it was no longer called the Ganges any more and that no one should say "I am God" even if he or she has reached an enlightened state.</p><p></p><p>Bhai Gurdas in his vaars said (Pauri 44.5 to 44.8:</p><p></p><p>ਮੇਲਿਓਂ ਬਾਬਾ ਉਠਿਆ ਮੁਲਤਾਨੇ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਿਆਰਤ ਜਾਈ॥</p><p>ਅਗੋਂ ਪੀਰ ਮੁਲਤਾਨ ਦੇ ਦੁਧ ਕਟੋਰਾ ਭਰ ਲੈ ਆਈ॥</p><p>ਬਾਬੇ ਕਢ ਕਰ ਬਗਲ ਤੇ ਚੰਬੇਲੀ ਦੁਧ ਵਿਚ ਮਿਲਾਈ॥</p><p>ਜਿਉਂ ਸਾਗਰ ਵਿਚ ਗੰਗ ਸਮਾਈ ॥44॥ [61]</p><p></p><p>Leaving the fair at Achal Vatala, Baba went on a 'pilgrimage' to Multan. At Multan the Pirs came forward holding a bowl of milk full to the brim. Baba took out a jasmine flower from his bag and put it on the surface of the milk indicating that he would spread fragrance. Bhai Gurdas likened it to the river Ganga (Ganges) merging into the ocean.</p><p></p><p><strong>Discourse with Bahawal Haq and Rukn-Ud-Din</strong></p><p></p><p>He had discussions with different mystics and learned personalities of the area. In crowd, there were two faqirs which are mentioned in historical accounts named Bahawal Haq and Rukn-Ud-Din, which were possibly descendants of Sheikh Bahawal Haq (1170-1267) and Sheikh Rukn-ud-Din(1251-1335) who were famous Sufi Saints of Multan. Generally, decendents and gaddi nasheen are called with names of their great ancestors, so Guru Nanak had discourses with the decendents of great Sufi faqirs. Bahawal Haq and Rukan Din asked many questions to which guru sahib replied very peacefully</p><p></p><p>According to Bhai Bala Janamsakhi, Bahawal Haq asked, "We call maya false and without maya we can't survive". Guru JI replied "like maya is false so survival is also false."</p><p></p><p>Pirs wanted Guru JI to preach and advise them. Guru ji said, "Love everyone; don't go with woman married to another man. Any matter which generates friction with the saints, close it immediately. Don't keep company with evil minded persons. Do selfless service for the saints. Practice recitation of the Shabad." They called Guru Nanak a true faqir then.</p><p></p><p>The Pirs were enlightened and for the remembrance of the Guru's visit, they took foot prints of the Guru feet on paper. It is said that this paper was at Multan until the partition of 1947.</p><p>There is no separate Gurdwara at that place but for the Thara Sahib in the corridor of the Mazar. Prakash used, to take place during the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh but during the British rule the same was discontinued in 1850 AD. This corridor still exists as a monument of the arrival of Jagat Guru Ji in Multan. [62]</p><p>The Diwan of Chawali Masheikh who was a close friend of Sheikh Ibrahim came to know that the famous dervish Baba Nanak had come to Pakpattan. He went there and invited Guru Nanak to Multan. The Master accepted the invitation and stayed at the house of Diwan of Chawali Masheikh. Multan was under the spiritual jurisdiction of the descendants of Sheikh Bahau-ud-din Zakariya Suhrawardi. Guru Nanak held spiritual discourses with the saints of the Suhrawardi Silsala and won their respect and love. The Diwan of Chawali Masheikh changed his house to a shrine of Guru Nanak, which is still preserved by the Pakistan Government as a historical Gurdwara. A fair used to be held here annually to commemorate the visit of the Master.[62] From Multan Guru Nanak hurried back to Sultanpur Lodhi, stopping on the way in a number of places for a day or two and enlightening people with his spiritual and moral influence, and bringing about a unique social and cultural awakening.[63]</p><p></p><p><strong>MAKHDOOMPUR HIRAN (TULAMBA)</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>[ATTACH=full]22281[/ATTACH] Photo 71 : Manji Sahib Tulamba</strong></p><p></p><p>From Multan Guru Nanak travelled towards Sultanpur Lodhi. On the route he stopped at Tulamba. (22), On the N-5 National Highway, a 15 minutes drive from Tulamba, provides the primary road link for Tulamba, giving easy access to Multan and Lahore. Multan can also be reached through Abdul Hakeem, as well as through Makhdoom Pur and Kabirwala.The M-4 Motorway passes near Tulamba, linking it to Multan and Islamabad. [64] This holy shrine is located between Kabirwala and Khanewal. One can get a train from Khanewal and a bus from Kabirwala or Mian Channu to reach this place. Makhdoom Pur Paliuran is a well known town on the Multan-Delhi road built by Sher Shah Suri. The town of Tulamba is at a very short distance from Makhdoom Pur Pahuran. It is on the bank of Ravi between Abdula Hakeem and Mian Channu.Prior to 1985 Tulamba belonged to the district of Multan, but in 1985 it was included within Mian Channu Tehsil in the newly formed Khanewal District. Tulamba's population is nearly 50,000. The spoken language is Rachnavi Punjabi. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, came here from Multan.[27A native of Tulamba is referred to as a Tulmabvi. Tulamba is more than 2,500 years old. Archaeological diggings have uncovered four distinct layers, belonging to the Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim and Sikh civilisations. Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru, came here during his travels local travels before going for four long Udasis. Guru Har Rai, the Seventh Sikh Master, sent <em>a masand</em> (preacher) to preach Sikhism to the local people of this area.</p><p></p><p>According to the Purattan Janamsakhi,[65] before turning to east he went to Tulamba where he met Shaikh Sajjan Thug. When Guru Nanak and his companion Bhai Mardana were travelling and spreading the word of God they reached Tulamba in Multan district. Guru Nanak went to Sarai of Sheikh Sajjan, Seeing Guru Nanak ji, he thought 'he must be a wealthy man.' He served him and Mardana with great care. Guru ji was aware of what was on Sajjan's mind. Sadly it was an ugly affair. Sajjan said 'O holy man, come and sleep in comfort inside. It is night and quite late besides. Guru ji replied, "Sajjan! We shall first sing a hymn in praise of the Lord, Then welcome sleep to dream about the kingdom of God."</p><p></p><p>He began reciting the hymn as Mardana played the rabab.</p><p></p><p>ਉਜਲੁ ਕੈਹਾ ਚਿਲਕਣਾ ਘੋਟਿਮ ਕਾਲੜੀ ਮਸੁ ॥</p><p>Oujal Kaihaa Chilakanaa Ghottim Kaalarree Mas ||</p><p>Bronze is bright and shiny, but when it is rubbed, its blackness appears.</p><p>ਧੋਤਿਆ ਜੂਠਿ ਨ ਉਤਰੈ ਜੇ ਸਉ ਧੋਵਾ ਤਿਸੁ ॥੧॥</p><p>Dhhothiaa Jooth N Outharai Jae So Dhhovaa This ||1||</p><p>Washing it, its impurity is not removed, even if it is washed a hundred times. ||1||</p><p>ਸਜਣ ਸੇਈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਚਲਦਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ਚਲੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ॥</p><p>Sajan Saeee Naal Mai Chaladhiaa Naal Chalannih ||</p><p>They alone are my friends, who travel along with me;</p><p>ਜਿਥੈ ਲੇਖਾ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਤਿਥੈ ਖੜੇ ਦਿਸੰਨਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥</p><p>Jithhai Laekhaa Mangeeai Thithhai Kharrae Dhisann ||1|| Rehaao ||</p><p></p><p>And in that place, where the accounts are called for, they appear standing with me. ||1||Pause||</p><p>(Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Guru Nanak, Raag Suhi, Ang 729)</p><p></p><p>Hearing this shabad Sajjan knew what it meant, for whom it was. As soon as Guru ji finished the hymn he fell at his feet, begged forgiveness and promised not to kill or cheat. He distributed all his wealth among the poor at hand, and started living like a true Sajjan in that land became the disciple and then preacher and was respected as Sheikh Sajjan.</p><p></p><p>Hearing this Shabd Sajjan, a cut throat, became a friend of Guru. Sajjan's inn was converted into a Gurdwara to commemorate this event. This place is beautifully built. Its boundary runs around in area of two ghumaon with Gurasthan at its centre. There used to be a big tank west of it which has now been levelled. Rooms for the stay of Sangat have been built along the boundary wall. There are green trees, flowery creepers, rose, jasmine and other plants whose flowers blossom all around [66]. At present Govt Higher Secondary School is housed in this building which enlighten the ignorant.</p><p></p><p>Bhai Judh Singh, disciple of Sat Guru Har Rai Ji was a resident of this village. Tin is new and beautiful Gurdwara was built by one of his descendants in Samvat 1970. 20 squares of land is endowed to the shrine. Visakhi fair is held. [67]</p><p></p><p>Sajjan converted his inn into a true dharmsal. Sajjan became a follower of the Guru. Later, during the time of Guru Har Rai, Bhai Jodh, masand of this area, lived at Tulambha. It was his descendants who first established a Gurdwara dedicated to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. A Gurdwara was built at the place by the descendants of Bhai Jodh. Follower of Sikhism he was a commander of Sat Guru Har Gobind Ji in the Battle of Gurusar. He was a resident of this village. Gurdwara comemorating Guru Nanak’s visit to this was built by one of his descendants in Samvat 1970 (1913 AD), but it had to be abandoned during the 1947 exodus caused by Partition. Tulamba was renamed Makhdumpur in 1913, and is now a railway station on Lahore-Multan section of Railway of Pakistan.</p><p></p><p>The boundary of the gurdwara runs around in area of two ghumaon with Gurasthan at its centre: There used to be a big pool (made of marble) west of it which has now been filled with soil and levelled; if this soil is dug out, the original pool can be restored. Rooms for the stay of Sangat had been built along the boundary wall. There are green trees, flowery creepers, rose, jasmine and other plants whose flowers blossom all around. At present, Govt Higher Secondary School is housed in this building and Gurasthan is made the headmaster's office. The inner design of the dome is still the same as it was centuries ago and so are the tiles of the floor, yet other walls and buildings are regularly white washed. Following the partition in 1947, a new Gurdwara was set up in Panipat Haryana by his descendants (Bhayana Clan).[68] [69][70] [71][72]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]22282[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong> Photo 72: of Gurdwara Makhdoom Pur Pahoran (Tulamba) by Qadeer Ahmad Janjua</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>GURDWARA NANAKSAR AT HARAPA </strong></p><p> [ATTACH=full]22283[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>Photo 73: Gurdwara Nanaksar Harrapa</strong></p><p></p><p>Harappa is a very old city of district Sahiwal (Montgomery). This city flourished even thousands of years before Christ, later it became a ruin either due to some natural calamities or invasion from outsides. Gold and silver coins excavated from this place have inscription of different shapes but these inscription have not been deciphered to date. These inscriptions prove that the people of this land knew how to read and write thousands of years ago. The sacred shrine of Gur Nanak called "Nanaksar" is displaying its grandeur in a grove of trees about 1.25 km south of the ruins. The building is grand and beautiful. There is a big tank near the Prakashasthan. Once a big fair used to be held on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of Chaiter. Presently this sacred place is known as the building of Government College, Harappa. There are many residing rooms attached to it. Ten ghumaon of agricultural land and a big estate stands in the name of shrine beside a well and a large garden. The foundation stone of the shrine was laid by Sant Sangat Singh Ji Mahara], a resident of Kamalia, on 4th of Poh, Samvat 1998 Nanak Shahi 4/3 and the construction began on the 18th of Dec. 1941 AD.

At this Guru said to'-these people "<em>Wasdey Raho</em>" (be settled) and departed from here. The wan tree under which he had lived was known by the Name of Mal Sahib, This tree is still there. Departing from here he set his foot in the village Manak De ke. The people of this village gave him great honour and love, but Guru Nanak cursed them to be scattered. Bhai Mardana Ji was surprised at this and asked: why those who gave you pain, yougave them your blessing of remaining settled. But you cursed these to be scattered who had honoured you. Gur Dev Ji said, "These people will spread virtue wherever they go after being scattered while the others will spread evil wherever they go. This is why it has been ordained for those to be settled<strong>d</strong> and for these to be scattered. Kangan Pur is still settled. A Gurdwara sahib was built here. Its priests were Namdhari Sikhs. Now Prakash does not take place here. A fair used to be held on the first of Chait. According to the local legend that the descendants of those who had pelted stones at Guru Nanak suffer from gilhar (a throat related disease) and it is the only area in the whole of Punjab wherepeople suffer from this ailment. Its building was constructed in 1939. It is in good condition even today but there is absolutely no maintenance.</p><p>Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited Kanganpur while going from Lahore to Pakpattan. Gurdwara Malji Sahib commemorating Guru Ji’s visit is situated in the large town of Kanganpur, in Kasur District of West Punjab, (Pakistan) having a railway station along the Kasur-Lodhran section of Pakistan railway. It falls in Chunian Tehsil of Kasur District. When Guru Nanak Dev and Bhai Mardana arrived here, the villagers were rude to them and did not let them stay in the village. The Guru, however, blessed them saying ‘<em>vasde raho</em>’, (May you live long here). [70] Later, a domed Gurdwara with rooms for <em>parkash asthan</em> and for <em>granthis</em> was constructed in Moti Masjid Mohalla in new Kanganpur City. The domed building of the Gurdwara was very beautiful and strong. There were rooms for granthis in front of the sacred darbar. After 1947, refugees from Ferozepur district made it as their residence without paying any attention to the significance of the place. Although the Gurdwara should be under the possession of ETPB (Evacuee Trust Property Board) but people inform that it is owned by a local Syed family. Dewa Sikander, a Nanakpanthi from Sukkur (Sindh) visited the town recently and made an application to Assistant Commissioner, Kanganpur to open this important and historical Sikh Shrine for the Sangat. It could be renovated and opened for the Sikh pilgrims if permitted.

This village is at a distance of about 2 kms from Kangan Pur and is served by Kangan Pur Railway station. It is in tehsil Chunian of Kasur Distt. Buses go up to Pajjian. From there, it is about 4 kilometer off the main road. A metalled road leads to the village. Guru had cursed its people to be scattered and this village looks like a deserted place even today. The whole village is built with mud. People work in other cities. Manji Sahib of Guru Nanak Dev Ji has been built in baked bricks in a street outside the village facing Government Primary School. Once there used to be the Prakash of Guru Garanth Sahib but for the last 50 years it has not taken place. The people of the town are still kind and loving. [77]</p><p>When Guru Nanak came to Pajjian the village treated him well but later made fun of him. Guru Nanak left and stayed out on a mound. Mardana asked as to why he left the village. Guru Nanak told him that he did not want to stay with <em>paajjis</em> (people with double standards). The village is now known as Paajjian. The mound where Guru Nanak stayed was developed into a large village known as Manak-De-Ke. It subsequently developed into a big village. A beautifully built spacious, 3 storeyed complex was constructed to commemorate Guru Nanak’s stay. It had <em>parkashasthan, langar</em> hall, residential complex, foyer, a <em>sarovar </em> and a <em>diwan</em> hall built like <em>baradari</em> were constructed to commemorate Guru Nanak’s visit to this place. It was looked after by Udasis. There were <em>samadhs</em> (mauseliums) of Udasi Sadhus and a water tank close to the shrine. The villagers gifted 82 ghumon of land to the Gurdwara.</p><p></p><p>Guru Nanak spent some time in Manak village.The Jats of this village belonged to the same grandfather. Some of them were converted to Islam; others became Sikhs while the rest remained Hindus. Visakhi fair is held every year. During the fair, the villagers are not allowed to cook in their homes. All, irrespective of their religion, took food from the same Langar. It used to be managed by Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus alternately for one day each. After 1947 a School for Girls was housed in it but later on, the premises was left vacant. These buildings are in the process of decay and may become a heap of dust. The central building collapsed during the last two years. 82 ghumaon of land had been gifted by villagers to the Gurdwara.The sarovar too became stagnant. The complex was given to refugees from Mewat who have not cared to maintain it. All wall paintings and designs have been erased. Walls are now falling apart and the roof is caving in. Floral designs on the walls were erased. It was followed by the caving in of roofs. Now the walls too are falling apart. It is imperative that immediate action be taken to preserve this important historical and cultural site. Efforts should be made to restore and maintain the Gurdwara complex, ensuring that its architectural splendor and spiritual significance are safeguarded for future generations. Collaborative initiatives involving the local community, historical preservation organizations, and relevant authorities can play a pivotal role in revitalizing this revered place of worship [78] [79] [80]</p><p></p><p><strong>GURDWARA SRI GURU NANAK NIVAS SAHIB MAMDOT</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22286[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong>Photo 76: Gurdwara Gurdwara Sri Guru Nanak Nivas Sahib</strong></p><p></p><p>Mamdot is a Town in Mamdot Tehsil in Firozepur District of Punjab State, India.

Chunian is located 75 km away from Lahore. As Guru Nanak’s reputation had spread all around, people flocked to him as they came to know of his visit to the place. Mahant Janki Parsad, Kanpatta Yogi Satnath, Roopa Bhagat, Sheikh Dawood Kirmani, Peer Ganj Baksh and others came to him, heard his discourses and were pleased to keep Guru Nanak with them. [39] Gurdwara Sahib construted to commemorate his visit to Chinian is slowly collapsing due to neglect. [B]GURDWARA CHOTA NANKIANA HUJRA SHAH MUQEEM, OKARA [/B] This sacred shrine is situated on the road leading to Bonga Awan from Hujra Shah Muqeem and is exactly one km from the city. Sat Guru Nanak Dev Ji walked to this place from Manak Deke. Once it was a beautiful Guruasthan but now their are only fields. Even now the people know it by the name of Chota Nankiana. 9.5 Ghumaon of land is in the name of this Gurdwara in this village. Beside this Gurdwara Sahib owns land in a number of other villages. Fairs used to be held in Assu and Kattak but now a banyan tree and well stand as a reminder of the by gone day.[40] [B]GURDWARA CHOTA NANAKIANA AT DIPALPUR DISTRICT OKARA [/B] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="1705658204670.png"]22274[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [B] Photo 64: Gurdwara Sri Chota Nanakiana Sahib, Depalpur[/B] Guru Nanak’s next visit was to Dipalpur. It is nine kos from Chunian. Building is of concrete. Depalpur Gurdwara Sri Chota Nanakiana Sahib is on Okara Road in Depalpur, District Okara West Punjab,Pakistan situated in the village of Depalpur. Guru Nanak visited the place while on the way to Pakpattan. Dipalpur is a great historical city and once it used to be the capital of Punjab. At. present it is the tehsil headquarter of Okara district. A shrine of Guru Nanak Dev Ji stands gracefully outside the town in south-eastern side. It is called Gurdwara Chota Nanakiana Sahib. Guru Nanak made his abode under a dead pipal tree which became green again and standing even today. He cured a leper named Nuri (Nauranga) whose grave is behind the Gurdwara Sahib. There are 25 ghumaon of land from Kamboh Sikhs of Mancharian village and one ghumaon is outside this town, beside this there is a big estate in the name of Gurdwara. The priests used to be "Bedi Singhs", Prakash does not take place now, only the vacant darbar is there. Bhai Hazoor Singh Sehaj Dhari, a descendent of Bhai Nathoo Ram had in his house the cot (Manji) granted by Guru Har Rai Ji. It was 5.75 feet long 3 feet wide and 1.25 feet high. It was woven with red and white thread. It had colourful legs and it was made out of black wood. There was an a 1 mi rah of engraved wood. It is said that this almirah along with Guru Granth Sahib Ji was granted to Bhai Nathoo Ji by the Tenth Guru. Now all these remain only in memories and on the pages of the books. 98 Gurdwara is now in dilapidated stage due to constant neglect. Gurdwara had an income of Rs 500/- [41] [B] PEHLI PATSHAHI, PAKPATTAN CITY [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705658386032.png"]22275[/ATTACH] Photo 65: Gurdwara Pehli patshahi Pakpattan Cigty[/B] Sheikh Ibrahim Sani was the twelfth Sajjada Nashin of Sheikh Farid’s [I]khanqah[/I] at Pakpattan [42]. He was popularly known as Bala Pir. Meeting of the two is quite interesting. When Guru Nanak met him he was quite young and known for his piety, simplicity, and wisdom. One day his disciple Kamal was collecting fire wood from the forest for the langar (free kitchen) of the [I]Khanqah[/I]. At a distance of two miles from the city he saw a divine man sitting under a tree with a bard and an attendant. In a very melodious voice he was singing the following hymn: The Spirit of God is the tablet, In His Hand is the Pen, He writes the destiny of mankind. Think only of One God, Why ever reflect on any other. Sheikh Kamal went close to Guru Nanak. After paying homage he asked the meaning of the couplet. The Master explained it and treated Kamal with tender affection. Kamal went to his khanqah and reported to Sheikh Ibrahim Sani , that a great saint who appeared to be a Hindu, emphasized on the Oneness of God, and like the Muslim theologians, he also talks of the Writing and the Pen of God. There was such a glow on his face that he appeared to have achieved the presence of God. On hearing this, Sheikh Ibrahim Sani remarked skeptically: “If he is a Hindu then it is not possible that he has achieved the light of God, and if he has acquired the supreme enlightenment then he is not a Hindu.[43] Take one of my questions to him. If he gives a satisfactory answer then everything you say is true, otherwise I am not prepared to believe that he is an enlightened sage.” Kamal brought this question to Guru Nanak. There is One God, but two paths: Hinduism and Islam.Which one is acceptable? Which one is to be rejected? Guru Nanak replied: God is One, The Path is One. Accept the Path of Truth Reject all other ways [44]. On hearing this reply Sheikh Ibrahim at once went to pay his respects to Guru Nanak. He greeted Nanak saying Salam—alekam. (Peace of God be with you) to which Guru Nanak replied: “Alekh ko Salam hai.” I Salute the Infinite Lord. Sheikh Ibrahim asked: ‘‘O Dervish! Are you a Hindu or a Muslim.” Guru Nanak replied: “If I say I am a Hindu, I would be telling a lie, I am also not a Muslim.”[45] And then explaining his position, Guru Nanak continued: “The human body of both the Hindus and Muslims is made of the same elements; so I do not recognize any physical difference between them. The spirit of the same One God pervades all Hindus and Muslims. The same God judges the deeds of all. He who serves the One God sincerely and truly receives light and grace from Him.[46] It is not by mere profession of a creed that man can be saved but by his deeds. The virtues and noble deeds of both the Hindus and Muslims are blessed by God while the wicked deeds of both of them are condemned and punished by Him. I am a servant of God and a brother of true devotees of all men, no matter to which creed they belong. Sheikh Ibrahim embraced Guru Nanak. The discussion between the two then turned on the life and shlokas of Sheikh Farid. Sheikh Ibrahim Saniconfessed certain ambiguity in the shlokas of Sheikh Farid which had been piously preserved in the khanqah and asked Guru Nanak his opinion about them. “Is it possible,” asked Sheikh Ibrahim, “to be so tolerant, as Sheikh Farid suggests in this shloka: If someone smites your face, O Farid, Return him not a blew for blow; Nay, kiss his feet who smites you; Forgive him, and go home in peace.[47] Explaining it Guru Nanak said: “An enlightened saint should have the humility and patience of the earth. If anyone hits you with his hand, or abuses you, do not hit him back and do not soil your mouth with abuse. But say: ‘Has my bony body hurt your tender hand? If so forgive me for that.’[48] Sheikh Ibrahim Sani was deeply impressed by this interpretationof ethics of tolerance of Sheikh Farid. According to the Janam Sakhis Sheikh Ibrahim, who was a young man, entertained Guru Nanak for many days. He asked Guru Nanak to compose a prayer of glorification of the One God, and in response to this request, Guru Nanak is said to have composed his famous Asa-ki-Var, which is sung by the Sikhs early in the morning. Guru Nanak left the copy prepared by his own hands with Sheikh Ibrahim and it is said that Guru Arjan procured it from his successors when he wanted to compile the Adi Granth. In return, Sheikh Ibrahim gave Guru Nanak a correct copy of the mystic poems of Sheikh Farid, which was preserved by Guru Nanak and given to his successors.[49] All Janam Sakhis including the older copies of Bala Janam Sakhi clearly state that the slokas preserved in theAdi Granth are the compositions of Sheikh Farid. Accounts of the visit in various Janamsakhis are as under” (a) Janam Sakhi Bhai Bala: Sheikh Brahm pas jae kehya, Pir Salamat Nanak sii ain Khudae ki murat hai, mai dekh aya han; Allah nu pachata. hai; so haq tala nu apdya hai; Pir ne kehya : Hindu kya, te Khudae Id siirat kya, mera sval lai ja; jab badtos tan habo sac nahi ta sabh jhuth. (b) Janam sakhi Bhai Bala: Guruji Ravi nadi te Beasa de vich jahe. Pattan Sheikh Farid de do kos de farak te ae biathe; Pattan da Pir, Sheikh Farid di aulad Sheikh Braham aha; Sheikh Braham da murid Khudae da pyara laktfian cunan baharvar ayasi, Kamal darvesh. Janam Sakhi Meharban also have the similar account. The mystic Pen and the mystic Record are symbolic foundation of the Revelation to man in Islam. The whole of the Sura 68 in the Koran is given the title “AI Salam”, “The Pen”. (c) Janam Sakhi Bhai Bala: Sheikh Brahm pas jae kehya, Pir Salamat Nanak sii ain Khudae ki murat hai, mai dekh aya han; Allah nu pachata. hai; so haq tala nu apdya hai; Pir ne kehya : Hindu kya, te Khudae Id siirat kya, mera sval lai ja; jab badtos tan habo sac nahi ta sabh jhuth. (d) Janam Sakhi Meharban, p.62Sheikh Braham puchia: Fakir tun Hindu ke Musalman? tan Babe kehya sloka: “Hindu kahan tan mariya, Musalman bhi nah. (e)Janamsakhi Meharban p.63: ‘eh sarlr panjan tatan ka putla hai, ar parmatma is mai gupt vartada hai, so panj tata Hindu, Musalman me ek hi hain; ar parmatma sabh sarlron me sata de riha hai; tante Hindu Musliman kis nu kahlyai’. (f) Gurmukhap ko sabh te neecha jante hain; ate sabh te ucha hovte hain tante Farid ne kehya, ki jo tujhe durbachan kahe uska hi muh fika hoya hai, tera to kichh gaya ha nahi; ar je tujhe must ka prahar keeya, hai ta jaise uske hath ko dukh hua hai taisai tere sarir ko hua hai; tante uske pain par; ke jane mainu kise ne dukh dena tha ab tere hath se jo must lagl hai so ab mere dukh ka tala hua hai ar mera sareer bajar saman hai ar tera hath komal hai so je apnu dukh pahunchia tan muaf karna. (g) Sheikh Farid: Adi Granth: p. 1378) The sacred shrine in the outskirts of the old city is related with Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This locality is known as Samadhan. There used to be a shrine at the spot where Sat Gur Nanak Dev Ji had stayed whose priests were Udasi Sadhus. There are countless samadhs of Sadhus ail around the Gurdwara and hence it came to be called "Samadhan". Thousands of ghumaon of land is endowed to this shrine. The Gurdwara and Samadhs have now vanished. There is Baba Farid Ganjshakar College at this place now. This college was housed in the Gurdwara before the construction of its new building which has been built after demolishing the Gurdwara but its tank has been saved as a relic.

Once Akali Singh sevadar (custodian) looked after the shrine but now a Muslim family is performing this duty. [59][60] [B] GURDWARA THARA SAHIB AT MULTAN [/B] From Pakpattan, Guru Nanak went to Multan through Burewala.. As per the Janamsakhi, at that time he was wearing traditional jacket (cotton made off sleeve), turban same as Muslim Saints and forehead painted as Hindu devotee that was a symbol of coherence between Hindus and Muslims. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705658869852.png"]22280[/ATTACH] [CENTER][B]Photo 70: Gurdwara Thada Sahib Multan[/B][/CENTER] This holy shrine is located in the corridor of the tomb of Shah Shams Sabzwari on Shah Shams road. A beautiful building touching the sky is visible just after crossing the Daulat Gate Chowk in Multan City. This is the tomb of Shah Shams. Guru Nanak stayed outside the city when he came to Multan. It was here that Shah Rukne Alam sent him a glass of milk filled to the brim which meant that Multan was already over crowded. Guru Dev sent back the same glass of milk after placing a flower petal on top, conveying to him that he would accommodate himself similarly as the flower petal had made room for itself in the glass filled with milk. The Guru also taught them not to worship graves. The Guru also taught them that once the holy water of the River Ganges merged into the ocean, it was no longer called the Ganges any more and that no one should say "I am God" even if he or she has reached an enlightened state. Bhai Gurdas in his vaars said (Pauri 44.5 to 44.8: ਮੇਲਿਓਂ ਬਾਬਾ ਉਠਿਆ ਮੁਲਤਾਨੇ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਿਆਰਤ ਜਾਈ॥ ਅਗੋਂ ਪੀਰ ਮੁਲਤਾਨ ਦੇ ਦੁਧ ਕਟੋਰਾ ਭਰ ਲੈ ਆਈ॥ ਬਾਬੇ ਕਢ ਕਰ ਬਗਲ ਤੇ ਚੰਬੇਲੀ ਦੁਧ ਵਿਚ ਮਿਲਾਈ॥ ਜਿਉਂ ਸਾਗਰ ਵਿਚ ਗੰਗ ਸਮਾਈ ॥44॥ [61] Leaving the fair at Achal Vatala, Baba went on a 'pilgrimage' to Multan. At Multan the Pirs came forward holding a bowl of milk full to the brim. Baba took out a jasmine flower from his bag and put it on the surface of the milk indicating that he would spread fragrance. Bhai Gurdas likened it to the river Ganga (Ganges) merging into the ocean. [B]Discourse with Bahawal Haq and Rukn-Ud-Din[/B] He had discussions with different mystics and learned personalities of the area. In crowd, there were two faqirs which are mentioned in historical accounts named Bahawal Haq and Rukn-Ud-Din, which were possibly descendants of Sheikh Bahawal Haq (1170-1267) and Sheikh Rukn-ud-Din(1251-1335) who were famous Sufi Saints of Multan. Generally, decendents and gaddi nasheen are called with names of their great ancestors, so Guru Nanak had discourses with the decendents of great Sufi faqirs. Bahawal Haq and Rukan Din asked many questions to which guru sahib replied very peacefully According to Bhai Bala Janamsakhi, Bahawal Haq asked, "We call maya false and without maya we can't survive". Guru JI replied "like maya is false so survival is also false." Pirs wanted Guru JI to preach and advise them. Guru ji said, "Love everyone; don't go with woman married to another man. Any matter which generates friction with the saints, close it immediately. Don't keep company with evil minded persons. Do selfless service for the saints. Practice recitation of the Shabad." They called Guru Nanak a true faqir then. The Pirs were enlightened and for the remembrance of the Guru's visit, they took foot prints of the Guru feet on paper. It is said that this paper was at Multan until the partition of 1947. There is no separate Gurdwara at that place but for the Thara Sahib in the corridor of the Mazar. Prakash used, to take place during the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh but during the British rule the same was discontinued in 1850 AD. This corridor still exists as a monument of the arrival of Jagat Guru Ji in Multan. [62] The Diwan of Chawali Masheikh who was a close friend of Sheikh Ibrahim came to know that the famous dervish Baba Nanak had come to Pakpattan. He went there and invited Guru Nanak to Multan. The Master accepted the invitation and stayed at the house of Diwan of Chawali Masheikh. Multan was under the spiritual jurisdiction of the descendants of Sheikh Bahau-ud-din Zakariya Suhrawardi. Guru Nanak held spiritual discourses with the saints of the Suhrawardi Silsala and won their respect and love. The Diwan of Chawali Masheikh changed his house to a shrine of Guru Nanak, which is still preserved by the Pakistan Government as a historical Gurdwara. A fair used to be held here annually to commemorate the visit of the Master.[62] From Multan Guru Nanak hurried back to Sultanpur Lodhi, stopping on the way in a number of places for a day or two and enlightening people with his spiritual and moral influence, and bringing about a unique social and cultural awakening.[63] [B]MAKHDOOMPUR HIRAN (TULAMBA) [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705659277394.png"]22281[/ATTACH] Photo 71 : Manji Sahib Tulamba[/B] From Multan Guru Nanak travelled towards Sultanpur Lodhi. On the route he stopped at Tulamba. (22), On the N-5 National Highway, a 15 minutes drive from Tulamba, provides the primary road link for Tulamba, giving easy access to Multan and Lahore. Multan can also be reached through Abdul Hakeem, as well as through Makhdoom Pur and Kabirwala.The M-4 Motorway passes near Tulamba, linking it to Multan and Islamabad. [64] This holy shrine is located between Kabirwala and Khanewal. One can get a train from Khanewal and a bus from Kabirwala or Mian Channu to reach this place. Makhdoom Pur Paliuran is a well known town on the Multan-Delhi road built by Sher Shah Suri. The town of Tulamba is at a very short distance from Makhdoom Pur Pahuran. It is on the bank of Ravi between Abdula Hakeem and Mian Channu.Prior to 1985 Tulamba belonged to the district of Multan, but in 1985 it was included within Mian Channu Tehsil in the newly formed Khanewal District. Tulamba's population is nearly 50,000. The spoken language is Rachnavi Punjabi. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, came here from Multan.[27A native of Tulamba is referred to as a Tulmabvi. Tulamba is more than 2,500 years old. Archaeological diggings have uncovered four distinct layers, belonging to the Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim and Sikh civilisations. Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru, came here during his travels local travels before going for four long Udasis. Guru Har Rai, the Seventh Sikh Master, sent [I]a masand[/I] (preacher) to preach Sikhism to the local people of this area. According to the Purattan Janamsakhi,[65] before turning to east he went to Tulamba where he met Shaikh Sajjan Thug. When Guru Nanak and his companion Bhai Mardana were travelling and spreading the word of God they reached Tulamba in Multan district. Guru Nanak went to Sarai of Sheikh Sajjan, Seeing Guru Nanak ji, he thought 'he must be a wealthy man.' He served him and Mardana with great care. Guru ji was aware of what was on Sajjan's mind. Sadly it was an ugly affair. Sajjan said 'O holy man, come and sleep in comfort inside. It is night and quite late besides. Guru ji replied, "Sajjan! We shall first sing a hymn in praise of the Lord, Then welcome sleep to dream about the kingdom of God." He began reciting the hymn as Mardana played the rabab. ਉਜਲੁ ਕੈਹਾ ਚਿਲਕਣਾ ਘੋਟਿਮ ਕਾਲੜੀ ਮਸੁ ॥ Oujal Kaihaa Chilakanaa Ghottim Kaalarree Mas || Bronze is bright and shiny, but when it is rubbed, its blackness appears. ਧੋਤਿਆ ਜੂਠਿ ਨ ਉਤਰੈ ਜੇ ਸਉ ਧੋਵਾ ਤਿਸੁ ॥੧॥ Dhhothiaa Jooth N Outharai Jae So Dhhovaa This ||1|| Washing it, its impurity is not removed, even if it is washed a hundred times. ||1|| ਸਜਣ ਸੇਈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਚਲਦਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ਚਲੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ॥ Sajan Saeee Naal Mai Chaladhiaa Naal Chalannih || They alone are my friends, who travel along with me; ਜਿਥੈ ਲੇਖਾ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਤਿਥੈ ਖੜੇ ਦਿਸੰਨਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Jithhai Laekhaa Mangeeai Thithhai Kharrae Dhisann ||1|| Rehaao || And in that place, where the accounts are called for, they appear standing with me. ||1||Pause|| (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Guru Nanak, Raag Suhi, Ang 729) Hearing this shabad Sajjan knew what it meant, for whom it was. As soon as Guru ji finished the hymn he fell at his feet, begged forgiveness and promised not to kill or cheat. He distributed all his wealth among the poor at hand, and started living like a true Sajjan in that land became the disciple and then preacher and was respected as Sheikh Sajjan. Hearing this Shabd Sajjan, a cut throat, became a friend of Guru. Sajjan's inn was converted into a Gurdwara to commemorate this event. This place is beautifully built. Its boundary runs around in area of two ghumaon with Gurasthan at its centre. There used to be a big tank west of it which has now been levelled. Rooms for the stay of Sangat have been built along the boundary wall. There are green trees, flowery creepers, rose, jasmine and other plants whose flowers blossom all around [66]. At present Govt Higher Secondary School is housed in this building which enlighten the ignorant. Bhai Judh Singh, disciple of Sat Guru Har Rai Ji was a resident of this village. Tin is new and beautiful Gurdwara was built by one of his descendants in Samvat 1970. 20 squares of land is endowed to the shrine. Visakhi fair is held. [67] Sajjan converted his inn into a true dharmsal. Sajjan became a follower of the Guru. Later, during the time of Guru Har Rai, Bhai Jodh, masand of this area, lived at Tulambha. It was his descendants who first established a Gurdwara dedicated to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. A Gurdwara was built at the place by the descendants of Bhai Jodh. Follower of Sikhism he was a commander of Sat Guru Har Gobind Ji in the Battle of Gurusar. He was a resident of this village. Gurdwara comemorating Guru Nanak’s visit to this was built by one of his descendants in Samvat 1970 (1913 AD), but it had to be abandoned during the 1947 exodus caused by Partition. Tulamba was renamed Makhdumpur in 1913, and is now a railway station on Lahore-Multan section of Railway of Pakistan. The boundary of the gurdwara runs around in area of two ghumaon with Gurasthan at its centre: There used to be a big pool (made of marble) west of it which has now been filled with soil and levelled; if this soil is dug out, the original pool can be restored. Rooms for the stay of Sangat had been built along the boundary wall. There are green trees, flowery creepers, rose, jasmine and other plants whose flowers blossom all around. At present, Govt Higher Secondary School is housed in this building and Gurasthan is made the headmaster's office. The inner design of the dome is still the same as it was centuries ago and so are the tiles of the floor, yet other walls and buildings are regularly white washed. Following the partition in 1947, a new Gurdwara was set up in Panipat Haryana by his descendants (Bhayana Clan).[68] [69][70] [71][72] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705659336969.png"]22282[/ATTACH] [B] Photo 72: of Gurdwara Makhdoom Pur Pahoran (Tulamba) by Qadeer Ahmad Janjua GURDWARA NANAKSAR AT HARAPA [/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705659383052.png"]22283[/ATTACH] [CENTER][B]Photo 73: Gurdwara Nanaksar Harrapa[/B][/CENTER] Harappa is a very old city of district Sahiwal (Montgomery). This city flourished even thousands of years before Christ, later it became a ruin either due to some natural calamities or invasion from outsides. Gold and silver coins excavated from this place have inscription of different shapes but these inscription have not been deciphered to date. These inscriptions prove that the people of this land knew how to read and write thousands of years ago. The sacred shrine of Gur Nanak called "Nanaksar" is displaying its grandeur in a grove of trees about 1.25 km south of the ruins. The building is grand and beautiful. There is a big tank near the Prakashasthan. Once a big fair used to be held on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of Chaiter. Presently this sacred place is known as the building of Government College, Harappa. There are many residing rooms attached to it. Ten ghumaon of agricultural land and a big estate stands in the name of shrine beside a well and a large garden. The foundation stone of the shrine was laid by Sant Sangat Singh Ji Mahara], a resident of Kamalia, on 4th of Poh, Samvat 1998 Nanak Shahi 4/3 and the construction began on the 18th of Dec. 1941 AD. [75] [B]MAL JI SAHIB KANGANPUR DISTRICT KASUR[/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705659439797.png"]22284[/ATTACH] [B] Photo 74: Gurdwara Malji Sahib, Kanganpur, Kasur District[/B], [B]West Punjab, Pakistan[/B] When Guru Nanak Dev Ji came to this town the local people did not let him settle and pelted stones at him. At this Guru said to'-these people "[I]Wasdey Raho[/I]" (be settled) and departed from here. The wan tree under which he had lived was known by the Name of Mal Sahib, This tree is still there. Departing from here he set his foot in the village Manak De ke. The people of this village gave him great honour and love, but Guru Nanak cursed them to be scattered. Bhai Mardana Ji was surprised at this and asked: why those who gave you pain, yougave them your blessing of remaining settled. But you cursed these to be scattered who had honoured you. Gur Dev Ji said, "These people will spread virtue wherever they go after being scattered while the others will spread evil wherever they go. This is why it has been ordained for those to be settled[B]d[/B] and for these to be scattered. Kangan Pur is still settled. A Gurdwara sahib was built here. Its priests were Namdhari Sikhs. Now Prakash does not take place here. A fair used to be held on the first of Chait. According to the local legend that the descendants of those who had pelted stones at Guru Nanak suffer from gilhar (a throat related disease) and it is the only area in the whole of Punjab wherepeople suffer from this ailment. Its building was constructed in 1939. It is in good condition even today but there is absolutely no maintenance. Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited Kanganpur while going from Lahore to Pakpattan. Gurdwara Malji Sahib commemorating Guru Ji’s visit is situated in the large town of Kanganpur, in Kasur District of West Punjab, (Pakistan) having a railway station along the Kasur-Lodhran section of Pakistan railway. It falls in Chunian Tehsil of Kasur District. When Guru Nanak Dev and Bhai Mardana arrived here, the villagers were rude to them and did not let them stay in the village. The Guru, however, blessed them saying ‘[I]vasde raho[/I]’, (May you live long here). [70] Later, a domed Gurdwara with rooms for [I]parkash asthan[/I] and for [I]granthis[/I] was constructed in Moti Masjid Mohalla in new Kanganpur City. The domed building of the Gurdwara was very beautiful and strong. There were rooms for granthis in front of the sacred darbar. After 1947, refugees from Ferozepur district made it as their residence without paying any attention to the significance of the place. Although the Gurdwara should be under the possession of ETPB (Evacuee Trust Property Board) but people inform that it is owned by a local Syed family. Dewa Sikander, a Nanakpanthi from Sukkur (Sindh) visited the town recently and made an application to Assistant Commissioner, Kanganpur to open this important and historical Sikh Shrine for the Sangat. It could be renovated and opened for the Sikh pilgrims if permitted. [76] [B]MANAK DE KE: MANJI SAHIB [/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705659573466.png"]22285[/ATTACH] [B] Photo 75: Gurdwara Manji Sahib- Manakdeke, Kanganpur, Kasur District, Punjab[/B] Next, Guru Nanak reached Manak-De-Ke from Manga, a village 45 kms from Lahore. This village is at a distance of about 2 kms from Kangan Pur and is served by Kangan Pur Railway station. It is in tehsil Chunian of Kasur Distt. Buses go up to Pajjian. From there, it is about 4 kilometer off the main road. A metalled road leads to the village. Guru had cursed its people to be scattered and this village looks like a deserted place even today. The whole village is built with mud. People work in other cities. Manji Sahib of Guru Nanak Dev Ji has been built in baked bricks in a street outside the village facing Government Primary School. Once there used to be the Prakash of Guru Garanth Sahib but for the last 50 years it has not taken place. The people of the town are still kind and loving. [77] When Guru Nanak came to Pajjian the village treated him well but later made fun of him. Guru Nanak left and stayed out on a mound. Mardana asked as to why he left the village. Guru Nanak told him that he did not want to stay with [I]paajjis[/I] (people with double standards). The village is now known as Paajjian. The mound where Guru Nanak stayed was developed into a large village known as Manak-De-Ke. It subsequently developed into a big village. A beautifully built spacious, 3 storeyed complex was constructed to commemorate Guru Nanak’s stay. It had [I]parkashasthan, langar[/I] hall, residential complex, foyer, a [I]sarovar [/I] and a [I]diwan[/I] hall built like [I]baradari[/I] were constructed to commemorate Guru Nanak’s visit to this place. It was looked after by Udasis. There were [I]samadhs[/I] (mauseliums) of Udasi Sadhus and a water tank close to the shrine. The villagers gifted 82 ghumon of land to the Gurdwara. Guru Nanak spent some time in Manak village.The Jats of this village belonged to the same grandfather. Some of them were converted to Islam; others became Sikhs while the rest remained Hindus. Visakhi fair is held every year. During the fair, the villagers are not allowed to cook in their homes. All, irrespective of their religion, took food from the same Langar. It used to be managed by Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus alternately for one day each. After 1947 a School for Girls was housed in it but later on, the premises was left vacant. These buildings are in the process of decay and may become a heap of dust. The central building collapsed during the last two years. 82 ghumaon of land had been gifted by villagers to the Gurdwara.The sarovar too became stagnant. The complex was given to refugees from Mewat who have not cared to maintain it. All wall paintings and designs have been erased. Walls are now falling apart and the roof is caving in. Floral designs on the walls were erased. It was followed by the caving in of roofs. Now the walls too are falling apart. It is imperative that immediate action be taken to preserve this important historical and cultural site. Efforts should be made to restore and maintain the Gurdwara complex, ensuring that its architectural splendor and spiritual significance are safeguarded for future generations. Collaborative initiatives involving the local community, historical preservation organizations, and relevant authorities can play a pivotal role in revitalizing this revered place of worship [78] [79] [80] [B]GURDWARA SRI GURU NANAK NIVAS SAHIB MAMDOT[/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705662161106.png"]22286[/ATTACH] [B]Photo 76: Gurdwara Gurdwara Sri Guru Nanak Nivas Sahib[/B] Mamdot is a Town in Mamdot Tehsil in Firozepur District of Punjab State, India.
