Historic Days

Dhan Guru Gobind Singh is Born December 1666

Bhikan Shah was a well known Muslim saint. He was very devoted and honest. Everyone respected him. Each day he and his followers would bow towards the holy city of Mecca. One day he did something he had never done before. He started bowing in the opposite direction of Mecca! His students and followers were surprised! They thought, “Is he going senile? Did he forget which direction Mecca is? Every day we bow towards the west, towards holy Mecca. Is he trying to test us or is he crazy?!`

So they asked him, “Sir, you are bowing in a different direction. Why are you doing this?” He said, “If you could see what kind of a being has taken birth there . . . you would bow in this direction too.”

Bhikan Shah decided to go to the town of Patna. He felt that a divine soul had incarnated there. Not just a messenger of God, but that a part of the all merciful Allah Himself had taken the form of a human body. He saw it in his vision. He felt it in his meditation. He knew that this incarnation was the embodiment of peace, of justice, of mercy, of truth and of love. And so the wise, intuitive and devoted soul named Bhikan Shah went to visit this great soul in Patna

He found out that in the Guru’s house, a child had been born to Guru Teg Bahadur, the holder of the throne of Guru Nanak. The boy’s name was Gobind Rai. Bhikan Shah made the journey to Patna. When he got to the Guru’s house he asked if he could come in to see the child.

Bhikan Shah explained, “One of the pots represented the Muslim faith, the other represented the Hindu faith. I was asking him which he would favor. Naturally he chose both. Which means he favors all people and all religions. This divine blessed soul will be the protector of all humanity.”
