In Safar-e-Patshahi IX Series No. 43, we heard that Guru Teg Bahadur Ji reached Nandpur Kalorh and started preaching
In this series we will hear that Guru Teg Bahadur Ji reaches out to the villages and connects the Sangat with Naam Bani
Guru Teg Bahadur ji was constructing a dam for the village at Nandpur Kalorh to save the village from floods. So the Guru sahib Ji filled the earth with mud and built a dam around the village. It was here that some sangat from the village of Raillo came and bowed at feet of the Guru ji and begged him to come and stay in our town as well. Connect the forgotten wandering sangat with the Naam Bani of Guru Nanak Sahib ji. Guru Teg Bahadur sahib ji, at the request of the sangat, reaches the neighbouring village of Raillo.Guru ji settled outside the village of Raillo. There was a Bohar tree (Banyan tree) but it does not exist today. There was also a pool of water. I am repeatedly requesting here not to misunderstand today’s ponds. At that time the source of water was very clean which was drinkable.
In the past, water was used in the villages from here. The Guru ji settled at this place. Here the Sangat is connected with Naam Bani. It was here that Bhagtu ji, a resident of the village, served the Guru’s sangat and preached with the Sikhs in the nearby villages. The Guru’s Diwan began to be decorated. The sangat started coming. There was disease called itching in this town which was contagious. It was also treated by the Guru sahib himself. Bhai Bhagtu Ji had his 9 bigha 9 viswa place for Dharamshala named to Guru Ghar so that the nearby sangat could come and join Naam Bani. The needy could be helped and the flow of Guru’s langar could continue. Guru Sahib Ji was going to the villages and preaching to the sangat and connecting them with the teachings of Guru Nanak Sahib ji. Gurdwara Sahib now stands in the village of Raillo in memory of Guru Teg Bahadur ji. There is a lease in Gurdwara Sahib, meaning a written Hukamnama. It is said by the villagers that Guru Sahib had written the lease in his own hand and gave it to the village. There is a small sarovar at the back of Gurdwara Sahib, which the villagers call Baoli.
Even now the sangat bath here with great devotion and make their life successful by reciting the Bani of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. So, walking from the rally, Guru Sahib Ji reaches the village of Beher. Sangat of Guru Sahib Ji is also established in village Beher. Bibi Sundari ji, a resident of the village, had also given 60 bighas of land in the name of Dharamshala, where later Sangat was established, Dharamshala was established. Guru Sahib’s preaching began near the village, meaning that wherever Guru Sahib planted the Sikh plant, Sikhism continued to flourish. Today, Gurdwara Sahib is adorned in the village of Beher in memory of Guru Sahib.
There is also an ancient tree which bears witness to the fact that Guru Teg Bahadur ji visited this village. Walking from village Beher, Guru Ji reaches village rally. Here too Gurdwara Sahib is adorned in the memory of Guru Sahib Ji. Due to the large Muslim population here, at first there was a controversy that Gurdwara Sahib should not be built here because there was a mosque along with it, parts of which still exist today. Gurdwara Sahib was built here by the villagers in memory of Guru Teg Bahadur ji. So, there is a lot more history to be discovered and preserved in these villages. Most of the time we find the names of these villages in books but history is not found written anywhere. So, with the grace of Guru Ji, the search for history will continue and we will go to the next villages where Guru Sahib Ji established Sikhism. In the same village lived 2 wanderers, Guru ke bete, who were martyred in the fort of Chamkaur.
