In Safar-E-Patshahi IX Series No. 26 we had heard that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji walked away from Amritsar Sahib through villages and stoped at Mata Haro Ji’s fields

 In this series we will hear that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji resides in the house of Mata Haro Ji and delights the sangat with his words

 Guru Tegh Bahadur ji arrives at Amritsar Sahib on 22 November 1664 AD. Guru Sahib is not allowed to enter the Golden Temple. The Guru ji sits on a platform outside, where the Gurdwara Tharha Sahib is situated at present. From here Guru Sahib Ji reaches 2 km, where Gurdwara Damdama Sahib is situated now. From here Guru Sahib reaches at Mata Haro Ji’s fields, where Gurdwara Guriana Sahib is adorned today. After this, before nightfall, Guru Sahib Ji reaches the village of Valle. This is where Guru Sahib’s residence is arranged. Tents are pitched nearby by Makhan Shah Lubana’s associates. When Guru Tegh Bahadur ji went on preaching tours, the whole arrangement was with him. All the necessities for Guru Sahib’s stay and langar were provided as tents were well arranged by the Sikhs.

 So, on November 22, 1664, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji stopped at the house of Mata Haro Ji. The evening diwan prostrates. The nearby sangat visits the diwan. The night passes happily. The Diwan prostrates again on November 23 at the time of Morning.  Kirtan of Asa ki vaar is performed by Guru ji himself. The sangat starts coming. The sangat of Amritsar, on the other hand, came to know that Har ji had done very badly to Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. He did not allow Guru Sahib to enter inside Darbar Sahib and Guru Tegh Bahadur ji has just gone outside while sitting on the platform outside. Guru Tegh Bahadur ji is sought after by the sangat. It is learned that at present Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji is in the village of Valle, the house of Mata Haro Ji. Because it is a village right next to Amritsar. Guru Tegh Bahadur stayed here for 17 days. So, the sangat from Amritsar reached the village of Mata Haro Ji in huge number.

Sangat apologizes that Guru Sahib Ji we did not know that you have come here, we made a mistake that we did not know your arrival. Har ji and masands sitting at Darbar Sahib were afflicted by the sangat. Guru Tegh Bahadur ji remained calm and promised the sangat that he would pay for his deeds. You maintain love, coincidence and unity. Chant God’s name and recite the Bani. Every day the Diwan was held at Mata Haro ji’s house. The sangat associate with Naam Bani. The sangat who came here asked Guru Sahib Ji how to get rid of the fear of death inside. What method should be used to eliminate the fear of death from within? At that time Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji uttered a word-

  Sorath mahala

“Prani kaun upau karai.

Ja te bhagat raam ki pavai, jam ko tras harai.1.rahau.

Kaun karam bidia kah kaisi,dharam kaun phun karai.

Kaun naam Gur ja Kai simarai, bhav Sagar kau tarai.1.

Kal Mai ek naam kirapa nidh, jah japai gat pavai.

Aur dharam ta Kai Sam nahan, ih bidh bed batavai .2.

Sukh Dukh rahat sada niralepi, ja kau kahat gusai.

So tum hi Mah basai nirantar, nanak darapan niai.3.5.”

So, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji preached to the sangat through this word. Stayed here for 17 days and moved on. Here the ladies served the sangat a lot and Guru Sahib spoke-

“Valla Guru ka galla”

“Maayia Rab rajaiaa, bhagati laayia”

This was addressed by Guru Sahib to the ladies of Amritsar and Valle village. Next in Series No. 28 we will hear what paths Guru Sahib Ji took.
