In Safar-E-Patshahi IX Series No. 76 we heard that when Guru Teg Bahadur Ji reaches the village of Alisher there are many forests, trees which are related to Guru Sahib Ji
In this series we will listen to the history of Ralla, Joga and Bhupal (Mansa) villages where Gurdwara Sahib is decorated in the memory of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji
In the previous series No. 76 we heard the history of the village Alisher. Today we will reach Ralla and Joga villages. The villages of Ralla and Joga coexist. When Guru Teg Bahadur ji reached the village of Ralla, a large number of sangat joined him. There, Guru Sahib told Jograj, the nephew of Chaudhary of Ralla village, that for one reason or another, many towns were inhabited and many were deserted. The Guru ji said –
“Aait Thai vasaye lai Ajit kalri hai”
I mean you settle on this high place, this is Ajit Kalri. At that time, Bhai Jograj Ji built a town on a high mound near the village of Ralla, which is today known as Joga village. There is a beautiful Gurdwara Sahib in the village of Ralle. We also had the opportunity to meet the village committee. The great grace of Guru Sahib remains on this town. There is also a Gurdwara in the village of Joga. We also got a chance to meet the committee here in which Sardar Ran Singh Ji, who goes to nearby villages to do Kavishari, preaches and also explores history. At their urging, we learned that more history is needed. There are also some temples of the Pandava period near this village. There are also places where it is said that the Pandavas also reached there.
This Gurdwara Sahib is situated in the village of Joga. Along with this comes the village of Bhupal. There are 2 Gurdwaras in Bhupal village. When Guru Teg Bahadur Ji arrives in this village, some sangat of the village came to meet Guru Sahib Ji. There Guru Sahib preached Sikhism, connecting the sangat with Naam Bani. At the same time Guru Sahib Ji promised not to use tobacco. If anyone uses tobacco, it will be ruined. It is true that tobacco users are often doomed because the world is considered a lie. Gurdwara Patshahi IX remains here today. We had the opportunity to meet the village elders here. We sat and talked with them. He said that if one uses tobacco, he is not considered a good man nor is he considered a successful person. Know the truth, there is no similarity between tobacco and Sikhism. When Guru Teg Bahadur ji was walking a short distance from the village, a Veer of a Ravidasiya community grabbed the reins of the Guru’s horse and stopped the Guru ji and said, “Guru Sahib, we the villagers have not heard of your arrival.” We villagers and other sangat want to visit you. Guru Sahib Ji stops here. Today the Gurdwara Sahib is also adorned here. Behind it is a small old Gurdwara Sahib. The forest tree with which the Guru tied the horse also exists. There was also a clear water pond which exists today in the form of a small sarovar. There are 2 shrines of Guru Teg Bahadur ji in this village. You are visiting Gurdwara Sahib of this village. Gurdwara Ataksar Sahib is also present outside the village of Bhupal. You are visiting this Gurdwara Sahib. So after that we will go to village Dhalewan. What is the history of village Dhalewan, what Guru Sahib went to do there, we will hear in the next series No. 78.
