Historical Gurdwaras of Hazor Sahib

1. Gurdwara Nagina Ghat ⠀
A rich merchant’s expensive nagina (precious stone set in gold) was thrown by Guru Gobind Singh Ji into Godavri River. The merchant thought Guru Ji did not know the value of the nagina. Mahraj read his thought and

 asked him to take out the nagina if it was so valuable. It is said that when he entered the river he was surprised to see the river bed full of precious stones. Purged of his false pride, he fell at Guru Ji’s feet. It was also from this place that Mahraj shot an arrow revealing
their Tap Asthan (meditation place) of Satyug, Sachkand Shri Hazor Sahib.⠀

2. Takht Sri Sachkand Abchalnagar Hazor Sahib. One of the 5 Takhts of Sikhs. Despite being the site where Kalgidhar Patshah Ji left their physical body from, their presence is felt strongly here.
3. Bunga Mai Bhago Ji
In compound of Takht Sri Hazor Sahib Ji, this Bunga is built in memory of Mai Bhago Ji. Housing weapons believed to be of Mai Bhago Ji and 40 Mukte. The two Angitha Sahib of Pyare Bhai Daya Singh ji and Pyare Bhai Dharam Singh Ji are also situated here.
4. Gurdwara Hira Ghat⠀
When Guru Gobind Singh Ji first came to Nanded from Punjab, they pitched their tents right here on the back of Godavri River. It was also here where it’s believed that emperor Bahadur Shah presented Guruji a hira (diamond) which they flung into the
river and when the offended emperor looked into the river, he say heaps of diamonds. He was deeply impressed and bowed to Guruji with humility.⠀
5. Gurdwara Mata Sahib Devan Ji Mata Ji’s Tap Asthan (meditation spot) since Satyug is situated here. Guruji used to come here daily from Hira Ghat to have langgar prepared by Mataji. Mata Ji is said to have asked Guru Ji who will visit her Gurdwara as it is quite hidden and
Mahraj said my Sikhs will because without visiting your asthan, their Hazor Sahib yatra would not be safli (complete). One should definitely try to spend some time to meditate here in Mata Ji’s Bhora Sahib.
6. Gurdwara Shikar Ghat⠀
Once Guru Gobind Singh Ji came here following a chase (shikar) and killed a rabbit which in a former birth had been Bhai Mula, a contemporary Sikh of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. Once when Guru Nanak Dev Ji wanted to see him, he avoided Guruji after being
brainwashed by his wife. He hid himself fearing Guru Ji might take him on a long journey. Guru Ji went away, Mula soon died by a snakebite. His repentent soul had since been wandering in different incarnations until Kalgidhar Patshah Ji liberated it by the touch of their arrow.
7. Gurdwara Maaltekri
A blind Muslim saint had a deep longing to meet Guru Nanak Dev Ji Mahraj since a long time. Guru Nanak reached his place on one of their journeys. The pir fell at the feet of Guru Ji. Guru Ji embraced him with affection and blessed him.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji is believed to have told Lakad Shah Faqir, that a large amount of money is kept buried at this place which shall be later required by their successor. So they must look after the place until the arrival of a successor who will need use of the money.
8. Gurdwara Sanggat Sahib
When Guru Ji decided to reside in Nanded, soldiers in their army requested for salary so that they can return back to Punjab. Guruji ordered Bhai Daya Singh and Bhai Dharam Singh to bring out the treasure underground at a place called Mal Tekri from
times of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. They went, dug the treasure and brought here back on bullock carts. The treasure was distributed to the army generously, not in counted numbers but in shieldfuls. The shield they used to distribute the treasure can be seen here.
9. Gurdwara Banda Ghat
Gurdwara commemorating historical meeting of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Banda Singh Bahadur
10. Gurudwara Nanaksar Sahib
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Mahraj stopped over here en-route to Bidar. There’s a Ber tree here where Guru Ji sat in devotion for nine days and nine hours.
At this place, Bhai Mardana Ji requested for water and Guru Ji asked them to play Rabab and a spring of cold sweet water appeared. A leper requested to Guru Ji to cure his leprosy here. Guru Ji made him bath under this spring and drink the water which cured him.
Guru Ji then blessed this spring to be a holy sarovar where whoever has no child or is suffering from any disease, his hope and desire will be fulfilled.
11. Gurdwara Nanak Puri and Gurdwara Chandan Sahib
This gurdwaras are next to each other and marks the place Guru Nanak Dev Ji met and had discourse with followers of Goraknath here while teaching them about Akaal Purakh.
12. Gurdwara Ratangarh Sahib
The site where a Sikh was blessed with the darshan of Kalgidhar Patshah after their Joti Jot saying “Do not worry, I will always be with you.”The Khalsa were advised to stay in Chardi Kala, continue Kirtan and Jap of Satnam.
13. Gurdwara Sri Damdama Sahib

The beauty and peace of this place where there was a bagh (garden) compelled Guru Sahib to stay here for 8 day when they arrived from Punjab before going to Hazor Sahib area. A Thada Sahib was dug at the site and a Barsha was found.
14. Gurdwara Langgar Sahib

In 1912 when Sant Baba Nidhan Singh Ji was sitting on the platform of Nanded Railway Station and was waiting for the train to Punjab, they were immersed in Simran. At that moment, Guru Gobind Singh Ji Mahraj gave him Darshan and stopped him from
going to Punjab and ordered him to go back to his ancient langar place and start the service of langar there. At that time there were very less devotees who use to come to Nanded due to the non existence of traveling medium. At that time there was a deep forest where there is
Gurudwara Langar Sahib today. Hence Baba Nidhan Singh Ji urged to Guru Ji, "Sachhe Patshah! from where will I bring the money to run langar service?" Guru Ji blessed Baba Ji, "Khisa Mera Hath Tera." Baba Ji obeyed Guru Ji's order and came to this place.
With great patience and trust he started the langar service here. It was just due to his hard work and the blessings of Guru Ji that the langar started at that time is running 24 hours today.

1/ The “I Have a Dream" speech is one of the most extraordinary speeches in American history. You should read it again. First, a few thoughts about the common American heritage Dr. King relied upon in calling Americans to rededicate themselves to the unfinished work of freedom.


2/ Dr. King delivered his speech in what he called the “hallowed spot” of the Lincoln memorial. More than a picturesque backdrop, King relied on America’s reverence for Lincoln and the common celebration of Lincoln’s words and acts, especially the Emancipation Proclamation.


3/ “Five score years ago…” King echoes the words of the Gettysburg Address. Like Lincoln, King invokes the Declaration of Independence and the fundamental principles of American freedom, “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Every person in that crowd knew these words.


4/ The Declaration, Constitution and Emancipation Proclamation declared and established the fundamental American principles of freedom that all Americans knew and believed in. But these principles and promises remained unfulfilled for black Americans.


5/ Lincoln’s audience knew the history of slavery and many had suffered personal loss in the ongoing war. Dr. King’s audience knew the history of violent racism, segregation, and unequal economic opportunity. The Proclamation freed the slaves, “but the Negro still is not free.”

The Panch Kedar Mandirs are amongst the most divine pilgrimage sites for followers of Sanatan Dharm. Apart from being Bhagwan Shiv`s abodes, they bear a strong connection to our history. Let`s explore their origins. #Thread


As per legend, the Panch Kedar Mandir relate directly to the Mahabharat and are an important part of our history. At the time of Mahabharat after the Kurukshetra Yudh, the Pandavs committed the sin of “Gotra Hatya” and “Brahmanahatya” by killing the Kauravs and Guru Droṇacarya.


Wanting to repent, Pandavs handed over the control of their kingdom to their kin and left in search of Bhagwan Shiv to ask for his forgiveness. Initially the Pandavs went to Kashi in search of Bhagwan Shiv but couldn`t find him there.


Bhagwan Shiv was furious at the deceit, death and destruction taking place during the Kurukshetra war. He was indifferent to the Pandavs prayers and took the form of a powerful bull and hid in the Gharwal Himalayas.


As Pandavs did not find Bhagwan Shiv in Kashi, after wandering for a bit they went to Gharwal Himalayas. The second eldest Pandav Bhim spotted a large bull grazing near GuptKashi in Kedar Kantha.

"I was born in 1921. There have been some incredible moments in the past century, but some years will always be etched in my heart. When I was 22 years old I was sent to Auschwitz. I survived the Holocaust."

Freddie Knoller writes for @TimesRedBox on #HolocaustMemorialDay

"My earliest years in Vienna were largely happy ones. I came from a wonderful, loving family. I was one of three brothers — we all played music and our home was full of happiness. But, I was also subjected to

"After the Germans invaded my home country of Austria this became unbearable. I still remember Kristallnacht — the broken glass and the beatings so many Jewish men received. It became clear that to stay was dangerous"


"My parents, in their fifties, believed they were too old to be the targets of the Nazis so they stayed in Vienna. They were wrong. The Nazis did not care if Jews were young or old, religious or secular. My parents were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau alongside 1.1 million others"

"Eventually I joined a French Resistance group in southwest France, alongside non-Jews who risked their lives to stand up for what was right. But I was betrayed, tortured, and sent to a concentration camp."

AGAMA SHASTRA:THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE MARVELS OF HINDU ARCHITECTURE

Agama Shastra is a Sanskrit word that means the manual for worship, temple building, rituals etc in Hindu Tradition.From Sanskrit,agama means handed down by tradition and Shastra means a commentary or treatise.


Therefore, Agama Shastra is a collection of ideas that drafts the rules for worship, temple construction, spirituality and rituals. It has been a guideline for many Hindus from ancient times. It's a collection of Sanskrit, Tamil and Grantha scriptures that mostly contains...


...methods of temple construction, idol creation, philosophical doctrines and meditative practices. It came into being after years of assimiliation and from a variety of sources. Some parts of it are pre-vedic while some are post-vedic.


Hindu Temples are not just temples, they are the pride and identity of Hindus. They are the symbols of Hindu unity and their religious aspirations. Temples are the places of spiritual healing and are our connection with the creator almighty.


Temples are the priceless treasure of our History, Heritage ,Art & Architecture. Architecture that mesmerises and spell bounds you. And Agama Shastra is that very text which is responsible for such a mesmerising and spell binding quality and beauty of our Hindu Temples.

So, on the subject of bonkers hyperbolic pretzeling over the Bell judgement, Grace 'destroy books I don't like & make inappropriate jokes about sterilising teenage girls' Lavery has some thoughts.

Tell me why my feminism is wrong Grace.

Oh

Well, if anyone thought the Bell judgment was going to make TRAs reconsider making massively overblown claims with no evidence backed up with nothing but a thick wadge of emotional blackmail.... HAHAHA, no one thought that.


A high court in the UK made a delimited judgment about teenager's ability to consent to puberty blockers. This puts all trans people everywhere in the world at risk.

Because if any human anywhere has any thoughts that deviate in any way from the rote line dictated by

the trans rights movement, this puts all trans people everywhere in mortal danger.

Let's be honest Grace. It doesn't put trans people at risk. It puts trans ideology at risk. Because trans ideology depends on the idea of innate gender identity, and the trans child is the

necessary material evidence of the ontology of gender identity.

That is, children are being medicalised to provide evidence to underwrite adults identities.

Nothing to see here.

Ok, I'll hop on this Elizabeth Warren/Native American testing bandwagon (gently and non-politically).

I've been a @23andMe customer for a while, and have followed their ancestry updates closely.

All is more or less as expected....except for this bit about Native American.


The family is almost completely composed of Spanish peasants (from various regions) who emigrated, along with a massive wave in the late 19th-cent./early 20th-cent., to Cuba back when it was a booming economy (richer than Spain's) and worth emigrating to (Communism killed that).

Also, the native population of Cuba was annihilated early on---was the first place the Spanish colonized after all. Having a native background in Cuba would be like having the same in, say, Massachusetts, particularly if you're (say) mostly Irish. Just really, really unlikely.

(Note: the North African/Arab background is less mysterious. The Iberian peninsula was part of the Muslim world for centuries. It would be odd *not* to have some Arab/Middle Eastern background coming from Spain. Given the family is mostly from Northern Spain, it's small though.)

I have a Spanish passport, have been back to the ancestral villages in Spain, seen the church where my grandmother was baptized, my grandfather told me stories about growing up as the child of Spanish colonists in rural Cuba. The native bit just clashes with all the family lore.
