Delhi - Hemkund Sahib
- Paonta Sahib - Harimandir Sahib
- Anandpur Sahib - Delhi Tour
Gurudwara Sri Hemkund Sahib :
Set amidst towering snow-capped mountains and lying beside a lake of
pristine blue water, the Sikh shrine of Sri Hemkund Sahib looks, even to
the not-particularly-pious, a place of almost unbelievable beauty and
peace. Seven peaks - known as the Sapt Sring- surround the shrine, looming
over lush green pastures. The tenth and penultimate guru of the Sikhs,
Guru Gobind Singh ji, meditated for years in these mountains, finally
leaving his earthly form and uniting with the Almighty. The star-shaped
Gurudwara Sri Hemkund Sahib, at a height of over 4,000 mt, is as such, a
memorial to Guru Gobind Singh ji and a reminder of the saint’s mission.
Gurudwara
Sri Paonta Sahib :
Surrounded by the Sal forest and on
the bank of river Yamuna the historic town of Paonta Sahib was
founded by the tenth Sikh Guru Govind Singh Ji. When only sixteen
years old, the guru left Anandpur Sahib and on the invitation of Raja
Maidini Prakash of Sirmour, lived at this beautiful place for over four
years. The historic gurudwara commemorates his stay and interestingly the
waters of the Yamuna fall silently below this -which happened
at the Guru's behest. The word 'Paonta' means 'Space for a foot hold'.
Takht
Sri Keshgarh Sahib, Anandpur Sahib :
A birthplace of the Khalsa, it
was here on March 30th, 1699 Guru Gobind Singh baptized 5 sikhs with amrit
(sweetened water) stirred with his Khanda and called them his Five Beloved
Ones and gave them the last name ‘Singh’ which means Lion. Guru Gobind
Singh then humbly bowed before the Five Beloved Ones and asked them to
initiate Him into the Khalsa Brotherhood.
Sri
Harimandir Sahib, Amritsar :
The Harimandir Sahib
(meaning Temple of God) is also commonly known as the Golden Temple or
Darbar Sahib (Divine Court). It is situated in the city of Amritsar in
Punjab. The Golden Temple is a living symbol of the spiritual and
historical traditions of the Sikhs. It is a source of inspiration for all
Sikhs and their chief place of pilgrimage.
