In Safar E Patshahi IX Series No. 30 we had heard that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji at Khemkaran Sahib with Bhai Chain Ji and Bhai Dhigana Ji sharing Gurmat and moving on for further preaching
In this series we will hear that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji reached the house of Hira Badhi in village Bhaini whose history is still being sought
Walking from Khemkaran, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji reaches Bhaini village. Earlier, the name of this village was Bhaini. When Guru Arjan Dev Ji comes to this village, Chaudhary Dana Sandhu and his wife Mata Sukha Ji served Guru Arjan Dev Ji. When it comes to prashada for Guru Arjan Dev ji, Mata Sukha ji thought that if I started making dal vegetables, I don’t know how long it would take.This lady crushed the prashadas, added desi ghee, added sugar, brought with great love for Guru Arjan Dev Ji.Guru Arjan Dev ji tasted it and was very happy. Guru Sahib said, “Mata Sukha, Chola has come with great taste.” It was here that Guru Arjan Dev Ji uttered the words-
“Har Dhan Sanchan Hari Naam Bhojan
eh Nanak kino cholha “
This verse is recorded in Guru Granth Sahib Ji on page 672 and this word is recited daily by the sangat in Gurdwara Sahib with great love. Guru Tegh Bahadur ji arrives here in the first months of 1665 AD and there is a Sikh here – Bhai Hira Badhi Ji. Badhi means badhae, which we also call carpenter Sikh. Guru Tegh Bahadur ji stops at his house for a while and then moves on to the next stage.
Das arrived here on July 30, 2020, visiting the shrines of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. It was found out that Gurdwara Chohla Sahib is present here in the memory of Guru Arjan Dev Ji but we did not get any information about Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. I also got a chance to meet some old men and esteemed gentlemen living in the same village. In which Master Mukhtiar Singh Ji, Bhai Pritpal Singh Ji, Bhai Seva Singh Ji, who have great devotion to Guru Ghar. It was here that I met Sardar Pargat Singh, the manager of Gurdwara Sahib, and Harjit Singh, the narrator of Gurdwara Sahib.
Discussed with them. It is not yet known when Guru Tegh Bahadur ji reached here or not. Das had to quote some old sources here that Guru Tegh Bahadur ji had arrived here. Now another thing is that Bhai Pritpal Singh Ji is in this village who has a big grocery store. They celebrate Guru Tegh Bahadur ji’s Parkash Dihara every year but it was not yet known that Guru Tegh Bahadur ji had arrived here. The facts presented by Das are as follows:
Sakhi No. 22 Page No. 69 is recorded in ‘Guru Kian Sakhis’ written by Piara Singh Padam by ‘Sarup Singh Koshish’.
” Guru Tegh Bahadur ji Khemkaran Nagari se Vida hoe,
Maajhe des me doe mahine Rattan Kiya,
Nadi bias ke kinare Cholha Nagari me paounch ke,
Kuj din heere Badhi ke ghar gujaar ke,
Aage Jane ki tyari ki”
This is mentioned by Principal Satbir Singh Ji on page 59 of the book ‘Iti Jin Kari’. It is recorded on page 103 of the book ‘Guru Tegh Bahadur, Personality, Journey, Message, Martyrdom’ by Principal Seva Singh.
In another fact, on page 33 of the book ‘Guru Tegh Bahadur Marg Punjab’ of Dr. Sukhdial Singh Punjabi University, wherever Guru Tegh Bahadur ji reached, the whole history is recorded. It is confirmed here that where Gurdwara Chohla Sahib is built in the memory of Guru Arjan Dev ji in this village, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji also visited this town. The search is still going on and we will try to find out the whereabouts of Bhai Heera Badhi’s family along with the managing committee here. The sangats and scholars requested to help Das in finding the history of this place so that we can find the history of this place along with other facts. After this we will hear in series no. 32 which direction Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji goes, which place is there and which Sikh wishes are fulfilled there.
