'''[[Gurdwara Baba Jaani Shah]]''' is a holy [[Sikh]]s shrine ([[Gurdwara]]) situated in the township of [[Sri Hargobindpur]] in [[Gurdaspur]] District, along with [[Gurdwara Damdama Sahib (Sri Hargobindpur)|Gurdwara Damdama Sahib]].  

 

It is a small square shaped building which contained the Mazhar Of Baba Jaani Shah. Now within this building the [[parkash]] of [[Guru Granth Sahib]] is done here as well.  

 

Baba Jaani Shah was devotee of sixth Guru, [[Guru Har Gobind]] who was in the search of God but could not find Him anywhere; although he had looked far and wide. Then guided by Khwaza (Guru's servant), Babaji met Guru Hargobind and got much joy and internal satisfaction, relief and eventually salvation.

One day, [[Sayyed Jaani Shah]] a [[Muslim]] devotee got a great urge and intense longing to find and connect with God. He left his family in the hope of finding a path to God. He disguised himself as a [[faqir]] (religious man) and set off on his trip to find eternal peace.<!----- However, many days later, he was still wandering at dusk, as the sun disappeared in the west. He tried everything; praying to the gods of the [[Hindus]] and [[Islam]]; he did his five Namaz' (Muslim prayers) daily, but despite all his efforts and his constant searching he found nothing. He was told about [[Nanak|Guru Nanak's]] house by someone. What he heard about the Guru filled his heart with happiness. So he travelled to meet with Khawaja (the [[sewadar]] of the Guru's horses). After he told Khawaja of his relentless search for God, Khawaja told him to pray before the Guru sitting at his dwaar (home). ----->{{aowf|Gurdwara Baba Jaani Shah}}
