Guru Tegh Bahadur - Stay at Bakala

Stay At Bakala

In the 1640s, nearing his end, Hargobind asked his wife Nanaki, to move to his ancestral village of Bakala, together with Tegh Bahadur and Gujri.

Bakala, as described in Gurbilas Dasvin Patishahi, was then a properous town with many beautiful pools, wells and baolis. Tegh Bahadur meditated at Bakala for about twenty years (1644-1664) and lived there with his wife and mother. He lived a strict and holy life and spent most of his time in meditation. Yet, he was not a recluse and attended to family responsibilities. He went out riding and he followed the chase. He made visits outside Bakala and also visited the eighth Sikh guru Guru Har Krishan, when the latter was in Delhi.and stay at simbro village in 7 days (punjab patiala) (bhadson road patiala)

Famous quotes containing the words stay at and/or stay:

    A statesman is an easy man,
    He tells his lies by rote;
    A journalist makes up his lies
    And takes you by the throat;
    So stay at home and drink your beer
    And let the neighbours vote.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    How easily we could spell if we could follow,
    Like thread looped through the eye of a needle,
    The grooves of light. It resists. But we stay behind, among them,
    The injured, the adored.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
