Guru Nanak’s Travel through Haryana</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>PEHOWA</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22321[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong>Photo 10.1 Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi Pehowa</strong></p><p></p><p>After visiting places of Malwa regions of Punjab Guru Nanak reached Pahowa and sat on the banks of Saraswati river. As he saw people making heavy payments to Pandas on the name of redeeming the elder through the ritual of ‘pind bharauna’ in the fair of Chet Chaudas of the Bikrami 1561, he explained them the worthlessness of these rituals. He asked the Pandas if they can show any dead getting redeemed. The people understood the game and refrained fromn these rituals.[1] (There are two shrines at Pehowa dedicated to Guru Nanak Dev Ji; one inside and the other outside the old Pehowa town in Kurukshetra distt. Gurudwara Shri Baoli Sahib Pehowa is situated outside Pehowa town. Pehowa is an important pilgrim centre for Hindus as they come here for performing certain funeral rites and registereing their dead with their respectivepundits or family priests.These pandas possess genealogical records of their families going back to severalcenturies. Located on the bank of Sarsvati river, Pehowa is 27 km west of Kurukshetra along the road to Kaithal. Other roads from Ambala, Karnal and Gulha-Cheeka also converge here. A fair held on Chet Chaudas and Poornmasi. Guru Nanak Dev visited Pehowa during his first udasi on the occasion of the traditional Chet-Chaudason the fourteenth day of the dark half of the lunar month of Chet.At that time there was lot of influence of pundits. They used to make fool of people on superstitious rites for the benefits of the dead. Pandits used to throw a big ear ring of tyre size in Sarswati Rivers. They asked people to donate ear ring at night and showed them this ear ring in the morning to prove that their donation had got multiplied at night. People used to donate more and more in greed of multiplication.During his sermons he particularly stressed for futility of performing superstitious rites supposedly for the benefit of the dead and exhorted the people to remember God and perform right actions. Guru Nanak Sahib told them: “If donation is multiplying here so much; how much evil will multiply which the pundits are using to rob the pilgrims through treacherous rituals?”Guru Nanak Dev Ji stopped people from ancestor worshiping and preached thd ba baba yat after death, the offerings does not reach the person, it is their deeds that go with them.</p><p></p><p>"<em>Nanak Agey So Milae, je khate ghale dei</em>" The Pandits felt ashamed and stopped these rituals. Guruji Sahib stayed here for sometime and meditated. The place remained in a state of neglect until 1950 when Baba Jivan Singh Sewawale took up its reconstruction A Bhora Sahib and a Baoli (now convereted into sarovar)is also located at the place where Guruji used to meditate. Gurdwara is now known as Gurdwara Sahib Patshahi Pehili. It is close to the bus stand. It is a magnificient complex spread over several acres and comprising 63 feet square sanctum dome above it. A spacious 100 yards square sarovar and ancilliary buildings for Guru ka langar, offices and residential quarters for staff and pilgrims. Shri Guru Amar Das Ji and Shri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji also stayed here while going to Kurukshetra</p><p></p><p><strong>GURUDWARA SHEESH MAHAL, PEHOWA</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22322[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong>Photo 10.2 Gurdwara Sheesh Mahal Pehowa</strong></p><p></p><p>The other gurdwara, right on the bank of Saraswati inside the town, is called Gurdwara Manji Sahib. It was single room structure constructed by Chief of Kaithal (d. 1843). This too has since been replaced by a new two-storeyed building by Baba Jiwan Singh’s successors. Gurudwara Sheesh Mahal is situated in the middle of Pehowa Town in Kurukshetra Distt.</p><p></p><p>In 1567, Shri Guru Amardass Ji reached this place and guided the people that by visiting pilgrimages they cannot get the internal relief. The Guru is the true peer.</p><p></p><p><em>"Tirath nahavan jao tirath naam hai, tirath shabad vichar antar gyan ha</em>i"</p><p></p><p>In 1616, Shri Guru Hargobind Ji reached this pious place and preached to abolish the caste system and pray for god.In 1675, Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji reached at this place.He listened to the woes of The Hindu Priests who were scared of Aurangjeb. Guru Sahib replied not to panic</p><p></p><p><em>"bhai kaahu ko det neh neh bhai manat aan kaho nanak sun re mana giani tahi bakhan"</em></p><p></p><p>After meeting Sayyed Bhikan Shah at Ghurham and while going to Siana Saidan Guru ji stopped here. He preached the congregation not to take donation (offerings gifts) in the name of religion.</p><p></p><p>Both these Gurdwaras are frequented by pilgrims throughout the year but monthly amawas congregations and religious fairs on <em>Puranmas</em>i and <em>Chet-Chaudas</em> attract fairly large gatherings.

Approached fromn the west it is 19 kilometres from Chika, now a well known road junction connecting Patiala to Kaithal and Pehowa to Guhla. Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji came here during his first udasi via Kurukshetra and Pehowa. Here he lived a Pandit who was very proudy for his his Knowledge. Guru Sahib showed him right way to the life. Shri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji came here while going to Nanak Mata, when Baba Almast ji informed him that Gorakh Sadhus have captured Gurudwara Nanak Mata and renamed it as Gorakh Mata. Here lived a man named Kalu a blind and physical Handicaped, who used to worship Guruji a lot. When Kalu came to know that Guruji had come, he reached Gurujib crawling and said: “Guru Ji please cure me from tmy disease”. A Sikh sitting near Guruji asked Kalu to touch Guruji’s horse’s feet dust with his eyes. He did as said and he was able to see everything. Guruji blessed him and said: “Work here; Keep Guru ka langar functional and donot go to any one for Donation. Your diseases will be cured. Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib also came here. A Masand appointed by Guru Hargobindwas living here, When he came to know about Guru Tegbahadur Ji's arrival, afraid of Muslims, he did not came to meet Guruji. A person served Guru Sahib with great devotion. Guruji asked him not to use tobacco and blessed with with God's wishes everything will be blessed to you. He also Gave him Rs 500/-for digging well and Garden at that place. But instead of making a garden and a well on Guru Ghar's name he did all things on his name. Guru Gobind Singh Ji also came to this place while going Siana Sayyada and stopped under Imli Tree. Guruji warned <em>masand</em> appointed by Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji for his act. That tree is still preserved there.

Sixth and Ninth Gurus also visited the place later. Guru Hargobind Sahib passed through it probably in 1638 while visiting Kurukshetra. Guru Tegh Bahadur came here from Garhi Nazir near Samana on his way to Delhi. This historical Gurdwara inside village Chikka has been reconstructed by the <em>Kar Sewa Wale sant</em>s of Pehowa. It is a magnificent double storey domed building havinga 80-feet square congregation hall at the ground floor. Guru ka langar and residential accommodation for staff and pilgrims are in a separate compound about 150 yards away from the Gurdwara.[4]. Its post officeand police station are Goola</p><p></p><p><strong>THANESAR-KURUKSHETRA</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22325[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong>Map 10.2 Thanesar Kurukshetra</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22326[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong>10.5 Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dev Kurukshetra </strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>GURDWARA SIDH VATTI KURUKSHETRA</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22327[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong> 10.6 Gurdwara Sidh Vatti Kurukshetra</strong></p><p></p><p>Thanesar is an ancient town famous for Kurukshetra war. A fair on the eve of sun eclipse is visited bythe saints and siddha from all over India. After the sun eclipse the visitors have bath in the water tank. There are six gurdwaras in this area. Guru Nanak followed by Guru Amardas, Guru Hargobind, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singh visited the place. Guru Nanak went to Thanesar just before the Sun eclipseand held discussions with the Siddhas.[5]</p><p></p><p><em>Gurudwara Shri Sidhvati Sahib Patshahi Pehili</em> situated in Kurukshetra City. Situated on the Southern Bank <em>Brahm Sarover</em>, it marks the Visit of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to Kurukshetra. Guru Ji came here during on time of Sun Ecplipse. It was propagated that Sun is in tfhe grip of demins and has to be relieved through Yagya. GuruNanak told the pilgrims that Sun ecplipse is natural Phenomenon and has nothing to do with God and Demons. Guru Ji also prepared the Non Veg food and when served it was Kheer. Guru Ji tried to prove that controversy regarding vegetarianism and non vegetarianism is irrational. two hymns on this topic that appear in Vaar Malaar Ki in Sri Guru Granth Sahib (S.G.G.S. 1289-1290) are believed to have been uttered on this occasion. Bhai Udai singh Kaithal (1830-1843) made the Gurdwara first time.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kapal Mochan</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22328[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong>10.7. Gurdwara Guru Nanak Kapal Mochan Sahib</strong></p><p></p><p>Kapal Mochan is an ancient place of pilgrimage for both Hindus and Sikhs, 17 km north-east of Yamunanagar city-Jagadhari town, on the Bilaspur road in Yamunanagar district, Haryana, India.[6] It is also called Gopal Mochan and Somsar Mochan. As per Legend, Brāhmanahatya i.e. killing of Brahmin is considered as a major sin, but one who kills a Brahmin and bath here, his Brāhmanahatya sins will be washed. Nearby Bilaspur, Haryana (not to be confused with Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh) in Yamuna Nagar District which takes its name from the corrupted form of "Vyas Puri", was the ashram of Ved Vyasa rishi where he wrote the Mahabharta on the banks of Sarasvati river near Adi Badri where Sarasvati river leaves Himalayas and enters the plains.[7]</p><p></p><p>Guru Nanak stopped here during one of his udasis in 1584 and have spoke to a large gathering disputing the ritual of Sootak (the concept that a newborn baby is born impure). According to Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Sootak is there on Mind when it is entangles in vices. Adi Granth states: ਮਨ ਕਾ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਹਵਾ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਕੂੜੁ ॥ ਅਖੀ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਵੇਖਣਾ ਪਰ ਤ੍ਰਿਅ ਪਰ ਧਨ ਰੂਪੁ ॥ ਕੰਨੀ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਕੰਨਿ ਪੈ ਲਾਇਤਬਾਰੀ ਖਾਹਿ ॥.[8] A Gurdwara Sahib is located which commemorates his visit.[9]</p><p></p><p><strong>KARNAL</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22329[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong>10.8. Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi Karnal </strong></p><p></p><p>Situated on the historic Grand Trunk Road (National Highway-1), 123 km north of Delhi, Karnal (29°42`N, 76"59`E) has now developed into a very flourishing district town of Haryana. Starting from Thanesar Guru Nanak rested under a peepal tree in a garden in Karnal a small vil lage then.[10]Gurdwara Manji Sahib, Karnal is associated with this visit. At that time, the people of Karnal were held in awe by a number of Muslim Peers, or holy men, who had built their reputations by conjuring miracles. Chief among them was Peer Abu Ali Shah Qalandar. Guru Nanak sat on a small mound in a garden and recited hymns (shabads). This brought to him a number of ardent devotees. The Muslims did not like this. Some of them complained to Pir Abu Ali Shah Qalandar who became angry on what he heard from his people and set off to meet the Guru, riding a wall. He hoped to impress Guru Nanak Dev with a miracle. However, before he could reach the place where Guruji was staying, the wall he was riding upon, stopped moving. He could not move ahead. He realized his mistake. Accepting his defeat, he went on foot to pay obeisance to the Guru. Guru Nanak Dev advised him to shun such practices and use his spiritual strength for the good of the people.</p><p></p><p>Gurdwara Manji Sahib commemorates his visit to Karnal where he held religious discourses. The Guru pointed out that the practice of worshipping graves and tombs of holy men amounted to a breach of the injunctions of Islam. Gurdwara Manji Sahib, Karnal is located on Sarafa Road, Old Sarafa Bazaar, Karnal on Grand Trunk Road Bye Pass. Raja Gajpat Singh ofJind (1738-1789) got a gurudwara constructed on the site of the Mariji Sahib. An assembly hall on the first floor and the langar and a two-storeycd concrete pavilion were added later. The Gurdwara is affiliated to Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, which administers it through a local committee. The Sixth Guru, Guru Har Kishan Sahib also visited this place on his way to Delhi in 1663. Guru Tegh Bahadur is also believed to have visited the shrine in 1670 during his journey from Delhi to Lakhnaur. In 1709, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur captured Karnal and established Sikh rule here.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]</p><p></p><p><strong>PANIPAT</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22330[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong> 10.9 Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi Panipat</strong></p><p></p><p>‘Guru Nanak reached Panipat while returning from Hardwar and proceeded to Delhi hereafter. Sheikh Sharaf was the Muslim religious head (peer) of Panipat. His follower was Sheikh Tatteehar. He had come to collect water for the Peer and saw Baba (Guru Nanak) and Mardana sitting and bowed and wished him saying: “<em>Slama Lekum, darvish</em>.’ Guru Nanak replied: “My obeisance to the God. My offering is to the Peer as well.’ Sheikh Tatteehar was surprised as he thought: “No one from other religions ever paid obeisance to the Peer in this manner. I must inform of this development to my Peer.” He went to his Peer and informed: “God may secure the Peer. I am amazed at the hymn sung by a saint.” “How does he look?” asked the Peer. Sheikh Tateehar told what transipired between the two. Sheikh Sharaf was a disciple of Khwaja Qutbuddin. He came along with Shaeikh Tatteehar to the Guru andheld discussions which impressed Sheikh Sharaf Sheikh Sharaf said at the end of the discussions: “ Wah! Wah! Those who do rights deeds as per God’s Will, their sight itself is sufficient for redemption. He touched Guru’s feet and retreated to his own dwelling. Guru Nanak alongwith Mardana moved next.[17]</p><p></p><p>From Panipat, after visiting number of places and meeting saints and mendicants, Guru Nanak reached banks of Ganges in Hardwar on <em>Waisakhi </em>fair of <em>Samvat 1562 Bikrami</em> and stayed at Nanakwara.

They used to make fool of people on superstitious rites for the benefits of the dead. Pandits used to throw a big ear ring of tyre size in Sarswati Rivers. They asked people to donate ear ring at night and showed them this ear ring in the morning to prove that their donation had got multiplied at night. People used to donate more and more in greed of multiplication.During his sermons he particularly stressed for futility of performing superstitious rites supposedly for the benefit of the dead and exhorted the people to remember God and perform right actions. Guru Nanak Sahib told them: “If donation is multiplying here so much; how much evil will multiply which the pundits are using to rob the pilgrims through treacherous rituals?”Guru Nanak Dev Ji stopped people from ancestor worshiping and preached thd ba baba yat after death, the offerings does not reach the person, it is their deeds that go with them. "[I]Nanak Agey So Milae, je khate ghale dei[/I]" The Pandits felt ashamed and stopped these rituals. Guruji Sahib stayed here for sometime and meditated. The place remained in a state of neglect until 1950 when Baba Jivan Singh Sewawale took up its reconstruction A Bhora Sahib and a Baoli (now convereted into sarovar)is also located at the place where Guruji used to meditate. Gurdwara is now known as Gurdwara Sahib Patshahi Pehili. It is close to the bus stand. It is a magnificient complex spread over several acres and comprising 63 feet square sanctum dome above it. A spacious 100 yards square sarovar and ancilliary buildings for Guru ka langar, offices and residential quarters for staff and pilgrims.

It was single room structure constructed by Chief of Kaithal (d. 1843). This too has since been replaced by a new two-storeyed building by Baba Jiwan Singh’s successors. Gurudwara Sheesh Mahal is situated in the middle of Pehowa Town in Kurukshetra Distt. In 1567, Shri Guru Amardass Ji reached this place and guided the people that by visiting pilgrimages they cannot get the internal relief. The Guru is the true peer.

He preached the congregation not to take donation (offerings gifts) in the name of religion. Both these Gurdwaras are frequented by pilgrims throughout the year but monthly amawas congregations and religious fairs on [I]Puranmas[/I]i and [I]Chet-Chaudas[/I] attract fairly large gatherings.

Nearby Bilaspur, Haryana (not to be confused with Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh) in Yamuna Nagar District which takes its name from the corrupted form of "Vyas Puri", was the ashram of Ved Vyasa rishi where he wrote the Mahabharta on the banks of Sarasvati river near Adi Badri where Sarasvati river leaves Himalayas and enters the plains.[7] Guru Nanak stopped here during one of his udasis in 1584 and have spoke to a large gathering disputing the ritual of Sootak (the concept that a newborn baby is born impure). According to Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Sootak is there on Mind when it is entangles in vices. Adi Granth states: ਮਨ ਕਾ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਹਵਾ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਕੂੜੁ ॥ ਅਖੀ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਵੇਖਣਾ ਪਰ ਤ੍ਰਿਅ ਪਰ ਧਨ ਰੂਪੁ ॥ ਕੰਨੀ ਸੂਤਕੁ ਕੰਨਿ ਪੈ ਲਾਇਤਬਾਰੀ ਖਾਹਿ ॥.[8] A Gurdwara Sahib is located which commemorates his visit.[9] [B]KARNAL[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]22329[/ATTACH] [B]10.8. Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi Karnal [/B] Situated on the historic Grand Trunk Road (National Highway-1), 123 km north of Delhi, Karnal (29°42`N, 76"59`E) has now developed into a very flourishing district town of Haryana. Starting from Thanesar Guru Nanak rested under a peepal tree in a garden in Karnal a small vil lage then.[10]Gurdwara Manji Sahib, Karnal is associated with this visit. At that time, the people of Karnal were held in awe by a number of Muslim Peers, or holy men, who had built their reputations by conjuring miracles. Chief among them was Peer Abu Ali Shah Qalandar. Guru Nanak sat on a small mound in a garden and recited hymns (shabads). This brought to him a number of ardent devotees. The Muslims did not like this. Some of them complained to Pir Abu Ali Shah Qalandar who became angry on what he heard from his people and set off to meet the Guru, riding a wall. He hoped to impress Guru Nanak Dev with a miracle. However, before he could reach the place where Guruji was staying, the wall he was riding upon, stopped moving. He could not move ahead. He realized his mistake. Accepting his defeat, he went on foot to pay obeisance to the Guru. Guru Nanak Dev advised him to shun such practices and use his spiritual strength for the good of the people. Gurdwara Manji Sahib commemorates his visit to Karnal where he held religious discourses. The Guru pointed out that the practice of worshipping graves and tombs of holy men amounted to a breach of the injunctions of Islam. Gurdwara Manji Sahib, Karnal is located on Sarafa Road, Old Sarafa Bazaar, Karnal on Grand Trunk Road Bye Pass. Raja Gajpat Singh ofJind (1738-1789) got a gurudwara constructed on the site of the Mariji Sahib. An assembly hall on the first floor and the langar and a two-storeycd concrete pavilion were added later. The Gurdwara is affiliated to Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, which administers it through a local committee. The Sixth Guru, Guru Har Kishan Sahib also visited this place on his way to Delhi in 1663. Guru Tegh Bahadur is also believed to have visited the shrine in 1670 during his journey from Delhi to Lakhnaur. In 1709, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur captured Karnal and established Sikh rule here.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] [B]PANIPAT[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]22330[/ATTACH] [B] 10.9 Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi Panipat[/B] ‘Guru Nanak reached Panipat while returning from Hardwar and proceeded to Delhi hereafter. Sheikh Sharaf was the Muslim religious head (peer) of Panipat. His follower was Sheikh Tatteehar. He had come to collect water for the Peer and saw Baba (Guru Nanak) and Mardana sitting and bowed and wished him saying: “[I]Slama Lekum, darvish[/I].’ Guru Nanak replied: “My obeisance to the God. My offering is to the Peer as well.’ Sheikh Tatteehar was surprised as he thought: “No one from other religions ever paid obeisance to the Peer in this manner. I must inform of this development to my Peer.” He went to his Peer and informed: “God may secure the Peer. I am amazed at the hymn sung by a saint.” “How does he look?” asked the Peer. Sheikh Tateehar told what transipired between the two. Sheikh Sharaf was a disciple of Khwaja Qutbuddin. He came along with Shaeikh Tatteehar to the Guru andheld discussions which impressed Sheikh Sharaf Sheikh Sharaf said at the end of the discussions: “ Wah! Wah! Those who do rights deeds as per God’s Will, their sight itself is sufficient for redemption. He touched Guru’s feet and retreated to his own dwelling. Guru Nanak alongwith Mardana moved next.[17] From Panipat, after visiting number of places and meeting saints and mendicants, Guru Nanak reached banks of Ganges in Hardwar on [I]Waisakhi [/I]fair of [I]Samvat 1562 Bikrami[/I] and stayed at Nanakwara.
