| '''Walli Kandhari and The Gurdwara in Pakistan'''
| | #REDIRECT[[Guru Nanak at Hassan Abdal]] |
| ----
| |
| | |
| PANJA SAHIB gurudwara is situated at HassanAbdal, Pakistan. This place contains a spring on a hilltop, whose water collects in a pond nearby.
| |
| | |
| During [[Guru Nanak]]'s visit to HassanAbdal, his companion, [[Mardana]], sought some water from this pond to quench his thirst. However, Mardana's repeated requests were denied by the muslim [[Faquir]] who controlled this area, Walli Kandhari.
| |
| | |
| Walli Kandhari did not recognise Guru Nanak as a guru and was angered by Mardana's persistence. He then dropped a heavy rock from hilltop on Guru Nanak, who were resting at the foothills below. Guru Nanak Dev Ji stopped the rock with his hand.
| |
| | |
| The imprint of his hand is visible even today, engraved in the rock at this place. Subsequently, Guru Nanak had a fruitful dialogue with Walli Kandhari and impressed upon him that '''it does not behove men of God to discriminate between humans on religious grounds.'''
| |
| All are the children of God and He loves all his children equally. Sikh [[Jatha]]s from all over the world, travel to this location for celebrating [[Vaisakhi]] every year. Today, HassanAbdal is also known as [[Panja Sahib]].
