Gurudwara Manji Sahib deokay.



Gurdwara (Sikh place of worship) Manji Sahib (also known as Alamgir Sahib) is located near the village of Alamgir, Ludhiana district, Punjab, India. Guru Gobind Singh, tenth guru of the Sikhs, stayed here for a short while. Upon reaching Alamgir, Guru Gobind Singh is reported to have shot an arrow into the ground; a spring appeared from that place (now known as Tirsar). He was also presented with a horse here by a devoted follower.[1]
This gurdwara is dedicated to the fifth Guru, Shri Guru Arjan Dev Ji. He composed the Sukhmani Sahib here. This gurdwara is located on the banks of the ...

Dalvir Singh Pannu is a dentist by profession who has been working on this
book project for more than a decade after undertaking a family visit to holy Sikh
shrines in Pakistan during 2008. I was introduced to the author by his father,
Charanjit Singh Pannu, himself a celebrated writer in Punjabi language. During
my visit to Surrey (BC, Canada) during this summer, I received a few Chapters
of his forthcoming book for online checking so that the contents may not create
any new controversy in the Sikh world. I was astonished that Dalvir took so
much pains to verify his facts and fiction from the available resource material in
archives and libraries that I could not find any fault in the manuscript.
This book is based on the historical study of 84 gurdwaras in 6 districts of
Pakistan, namely, Nankana Sahib, Sheikhupura, Sialkot, Lahore, Kasur and
Narowal. The maximum number of Gurdwaras (42) are listed under Lahore
district but the most prominent ones frequented by Sikh pilgrims are located in
Nankana Sahib district. In the preface, author sums up the intensity of his
feelings for the intensive research he undertook to unravel the mystery of these
Sikh institutions in the following words: "I get the feeling that I can now almost
talk to these buildings and even listen to them. Each individual structure has a
unique past and a story to tell".
In the Introduction to this volume, author describes the horrors of 1947 Partition
in a most poignant manner. He quotes Leonard Mosley from his 'Last Days of
the British Raj' to show the magnitude of this horror, called Partition of India:
"India in 1947 was a bumper year for vultures. They had no need to look for
rotting flesh for it was all around them, animal and human....600,000 dead;
14,000,000 driven from their homes; 100,000 young girls kidnapped by both
sides, forcibly converted or sold on the auction block".
In the opening Section A, the author writes a detailed account of 14 gurdwaras
of Nankana Sahib district. Obviously, Gurdwara Janam Asthan, consecrated to
the memory of birth place of Guru Nanak, is the most comprehensive Chapter
of this section. Each Chapter opens with the name of Gurdwara followed by its
geographical latitude and longitude on the world atlas. First Chapter is
illustrated by a series of photographs including aerial photo of the Nankana
Sahib. The history of foundation of Nankana, originally called Rai Bhoe di
Talwandi, and the Bedi family of Guru Nanak is described in great detail using
hagiographic and other available sources in history. The author quotes from
Umdat-ut-Tawarikh of Sohan Lal Suri regarding the large scale donations of
Maharaja Ranjit Singh towards the upkeep of Gurdwaras in Nankana Sahib. By
the end of the Sikh rule, more than 200 institutions were managed by the Udassi
mahants, 75 percent of which enjoyed the state patronage under Maharaja Ranjit
Singh and his successors.
By the end of 19th century, there were changes in the management of
Gurdwaras, Nirmalas and Nihang Sikhs occupying some of these along with
Udassis. All other gurdwaras of Nanakana Sahib town and district find a visual
space and history based on the life of Guru Nanak. It is a rich source for
researchers of Sikh history. In addition to gurdwaras, author has given
description of shrine of Rai Bular, Bale da Khuh, and Dharamsala Bhai Harnam
Singh. What pains me as a Sikh is the lost heritage of the Sikhs shown in ruins
by the author, Dalvir Pannu. Gurdwaras of Nankana Sahib are being maintained
by Pakistan Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB). But most others deserted by
the Sikhs during the partition of India in 1947 had suffered neglect by ETPB.
In Section B, author describes the history of three gurdwaras of Sheikhupura
district. The most famous of these is gurdwara Sacha (Khara) Sauda at
Farooqabad. During my visits to Nankana Sahib in 1981 and 1988, I happened
to visit this gurdwara which was found abandoned and without proper
maintenance. Its basement was used as a cattle shed and occupied by local
people for habitation. It was renovated by ETPB and opened to Sikh pilgrims in
1993. Kartar Singh Jhabbar, a prominent Virk Jatt of Jhabbar village,
established Khalsa Diwan Khara Sauda Bar in 1912. The author has recounted
the story of Jathedar Jhabbar being elected as the first president of Akali Dal on
Dec. 24, 1920 at Sheikhupura. It was Jathedar Jhabbar who became
instrumental in liberation of Gurdwara Babe di Ber at Sialkot and other
gurdwaras in Punjab from the clutches of Mahants. Author has traced the
history of gurdwara Sachkhand Manawala and Kaloke Virkan. Nawab Kapur
Singh, founder of Dal Khalsa and Singhpuria Misal was born in Kaloke Virkan
in 1697. His role in the Sikh struggle for freedom is available in this Chapter.
In section C, history of six Sialkot Gurdwaras is given with aplomb by the
author. Gurdwara Babe di Ber occupies a pride of place among the gurdwaras of
Sialkot district. Guru Nanak held discussions with a Muslim faqir, Hamza Gaus,
who wanted to destroy the city along with its residents by his miraculous
powers. Guru Nanak brought him to his senses and he bowed to the Guru's will.
The town of Sialkot was liberated from the clutches of Afgan Durranis by the
Khalsa armies and Hindus of the town got relief from subjugation of Muslim
rulers. Gurdwara Ber Sahib has been restored to its pristine glory in 2016 and
opened to Sikh pilgrims. The other gurdwaras in Sialkot district, namely, Baoli
Sahib, Manji Sahib Deokay (Pasrur), Ghalotian Khurd, Fateh Bhinder and
Jamke Cheema are lying in ruins and facing extinction if not renovated in near
future.
In section D, author has listed 17 gurdwaras of district Kasur. Starting with
Gurdwara Baba Ram Thaman at a small village Kalu Khara, which was
frequented mostly by Bairagi sadhus including Madho Das, who was baptised
by Guru Gobind Singh as Banda Singh Bahadur, author goes on traversing his
Kasur itinerary to unravel mysteries of Sikh Heritage beyond borders. The
Chapter on Chunian reveals the relief work undertaken by Guru Arjun during a
severe famine in the late 16th century. I find the most interesting Chapter
"Muhammadipur" under this section. There are no signs of any Sikh gurdwara
but this village was seat of Minas (descendants of Pirthi Chand), including
Meharban and Harji, who were great scholars and wrote Gurbani under the pen
name of Guru Nanak to confuse Sikhs. The last of Minas, Jiwan Mal, left this
village and founded the present day Guru Harsahai in Ferozepur district after
the name of his son. It is a flourishing town inhabited by Sodhis, famous for
relics of Guru Nanak including some rare manuscripts, known as Guru Harsahai
Pothis. The author has shown his ingenuity as a researcher of Sikh history in
this Chapter as well as in this whole volume. He has took pains to photograph
frescoes on the walls and roofs where ever possible.
Section E covers almost half this volume with incisive history of 42 gurdwaras
of Lahore district. The author starts his journey with Gurdwara Janam Asthan
Bebe Nanaki at village Dera Chahal, near Lahore and goes on narrating the
history and anthropology of gurdwaras related with Sikh Gurus. Most of our
Sikh pilgrims are interested to visit Nankana Sahib, Panja Sahib and Dera Sahib
in Lahore. The opening of Kartarpur corridor has added one more gurdwara in
the Sikh pilgrimage. I am sure this volume has opened a new vista for the Sikh
pilgrims to include dozens of other historical gurdwaras in Lahore city and its
environs to feel blessed by the touch of the holy dust sanctified by the Sikh
Gurus and other martyrs of Sikh history.#fastitlinks.com
