Guru Tegh Bahadur at Kurukshetra

The Guru reached Kurukshetra on the occasion of solar eclipse. He was received with great honor and distinction by all the holy men present there. During his

stay he preached the true Name. From there he went to Bani Badarpur where he contributed money for the excavation of a well. Then he crossed the Jamna river and hunted on the way. He shot an animal and hung it to his saddle and reached Kara Manak where a saint called Maluk Das was living. Having heard that the Guru hunted and killed the animals, he refused to see him. It is said that when Maluk Das laid down food before his idol of worship next day, he found it turned into meat. He felt that t was a miracle wrought by the Guru. Then he wanted to see the Guru and bow before him, but he thought that the Guru being the searcher of h earts, should sent for him. The Guru knew what was going on in Maluk Das's mind, sent his Sikhs and a palki litter) to fetch him. He went to the Guru, received religious instruction and initiation, and became one of the Guru's most devoted followers.
