Khadoor Sahib

Description

Guru Angad Dev Ji shifted from his birth place to Khadoor Sahib, which ultimately became his preaching centre. Guru Amar Das Ji had established a new town, Goindwal Sahib, which was the centre of his preaching activities. Khadoor Sahib is now in Taran Taaran District (earlier, it was Amritsar District) and is considered as one of the holiest places as it was visited by 8 Gurus at different points of time. Moreover, it was here only that Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji developed Gurmukhi Lipi (script) and got written a biography of Guru Nanak Dev Ji (as is believed) known as Bhai Balewali Janam Sakhi. Further, Guru Angad Dev ji spent his entire life at this place and the coronation of Guru Amar Das Ji was also made here at the hands of Baba Budda Ji. There are some other Gurdwaras near around like Khooh Bibi Amro Ji and Gurdwara Tharah Sahib where Guru Amar Das ji used to sit and meditate. The Gurdwara Sri Darbar Sahib (Angitha Sahib) is the place where Guru Amardas Ji had fallen down after hitting a stake while bringing a pitcher of water from Goindwal Sahib. Gurdwara Mall Akhara Sahib is the place where Guru Ji held religious gatherings, discourses, and promoted Langar Tradition. The city of Khadoor Sahib came into prominence when the 500th birth centenary of Guru Angad Dev Ji was celebrated on a large scale in 2004 and a good number of projects were stated for promoting Sikh religion under the supervision of Baba Sewa Singh Ji. These projects will find a mention at appropriate places.
