The Kartarpur Sahib
History
Kartarpur marks the most huge and helpful stage in the life of Guru Nanak Dev. It was here on the banks of the stream Ravi that he established the frameworks of another confidence in a cooperative he set up. Prof J S Grewal, the famous student of history and previous Vice-Chancellor of Guru Nanak Dev University, who is composing his second book on the author of the Sikh religion, says Guru Nanak went to the town somewhere in the range of 1520 and 1522, after he had traversed mainlands.
He had spent the early stages of his life at Talwandi, a town established by a rich landowner named Rai Bhoi, around 90 km west of Lahore in Pakistan, where he was conceived in 1469. The Rai’s extraordinary grandson, Rai Bular Bhatti, renamed it ‘Nankana Sahib’ in the respect of Guru Nanak. Today it is the capital of Nankana Sahib locale.

The following 10 years of Guru Nanak’s life were spent at Sultanpur Lodhi, where he picked up illumination. “For the following 20 years, he voyaged generally confusing countries,” says Prof Grewal. He at long last came to Kartarpur rich with encounters picked up from his communications with rulers, ordinary citizens, priests, and masterminds. The janam sakhis on Guru Nanak’s life state he was offered this land parcel by a ‘karori’ (executive of a pargana) who was at first against him, yet hence turned into his pupister Nanak called it Kartarpur, and began living here with his folks, spouse Mata Sulakhni, and two children, Sri Chand and Lakshmi Chand, along these lines exhibiting that he favored the life of a householder to that of a parsimonious.
Master Nanak accepted the preeminent reason for human life is to pick up edification or a condition of association with God. It was at Kartarpur that he showed his supporters the best approach to freedom by rehearsing it.
At Kartarpur, Guru Nanak tried to do he said others should do—”naam japo, kirrt karo, wand chhako (love, work, and offer)” — as the way to freedom.
Nanak had confidence in the significance of singing the gestures of recognition of God as an approach to pick up freedom. He set up a ‘dharamsal’ (a spot where dharma or legitimacy is earned) at Kartarpur, where he and his devotees would sing his organizations toward the beginning of the day and night.
It was at Kartarpur that Nanak began the idea of ‘langar’, a network dinner arranged in a network kitchen where everybody would sit on the floor and eat together paying little mind to their social foundation.
“It was at Kartarpur that Nanak gave the three Gs — Gurdwara, the Granth, and the Guru himself — that support the Sikh confidence,” says Prof Grewal.
