FACT ABOUT : GURUDWARA SACHKHAND SHRI HAZUR SAHIB

GURUDWARA SACHKHAND SHRI HAZUR SAHIB is situated in District City Nanded, Maharashtra. SHRI GURU GOBIND SINGH JI came to this place in Sept 1708. One day when GURU SAHIB was sitting at on the bank of River Godavari (GURUDWARA SHRI NAGINA GHAAT SAHIB), He told that this place was his worship place in ancient times (As Dushat Daman). People requested GURU SAHIB to show them the place where he used to worship. GURU SAHIB shooted an arrow and told people that where this arrow will hit was his place of worship. That arrow hitted at this place where now GURUDWARA SACHKHAND SHRI HAZUR SAHIB is situated. When this place was dug, few things belonging to GURU SAHIB were found there. Later when GURU SAHIB told the singhs that he's about to leave this world, The Singhs asked GURU SAHIB that who will be there next GURU. Then GURU SAHIB told Singhs that from now onwards SHRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB will be their GURU.

The actual Gurdwara of Hazur Sahib has been built upon the exact place Guru Gobind Singh left his body. Even though he specifically ordered not to build any kind of shrine to him or their lineage would end. (He was serious about his worship of the ONE! And not to have himself worshipped!) So, in true outrageous form, a group of Nihungs (original warriors) who were unmarried and celibate anyway thought they would sacrifice, take the chance, as an act of devotion. It was worth it! They built a simple building around the spot, revering his weapons. In the next century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh rebuilt it in elegant style. So, this beautiful Gurdwara exists in Guru Gobind Singh’s name. And his weapons are there in the inner sanctuary, where no one is actually allowed to go except for one Jethadar (called the pujari) whose role it is to guard and care for these weapons and that central inner Sanctuary.
