subject: Gurudwara By The Name Mehdiana Sahib [print this page] There is a Gurudwara by the name Mehdiana Sahib at a distance of around 30 kilometers from Moga. It falls close to the Lopo village, but doesnt come under any village and stands alone amidst many farms. This Gurudwara is also not under the control of SGPC and Hence is run by private hands.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji came here while traveling across the Malwa region. During the Mughal rule, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji while delighting the followers of Raikot, Lamme Jattpure & Manuke village, reached Mehdiana Dhaab (A natural water reservoir) and stopped to look at the holy water of the Dhaab. The nearest habitation was 2-3 miles away. At this Dhaab, Guru Gobind Singh Ji & the followers did Daatan (Piece of a twig of tree used as tooth brush) and took baths. Then the Dasvin Guru began his mornings meditation. Bhai Daya Singh Ji asked his Guru that as the Singhs and their families were now parted, what would be the next step they should take.
Guru Sahib instantly put the Teg on his chest and said, Bhai Daya Singh I have returned the Debt and have become victorious.
Guru Sahib Ji answered Bhai Daya Singhs question with humbleness saying, Singh and Tiger are king of the same jungle. Singhs should keep faith in Almighty. Bhai Daya Singh Ji again requested Guru Ji on behalf of all the Sikh followers to which Guru Gobind Singh Ji humbly said:
Singho Dhaende Desh Da Jadon Sahara Nahin Si Udo Pita Nu Desh Te Variya Main|
Mata Gujri Sirhind De Vich Gujri Sama Gujareya Jiven Gujareya Main|
Char Puttar San bakshe Parmatma Ne Oh Vi Joda Joda Kar Ke Variya Main|
Mainu Shahenshaw Na Tusi Kaho Singho Kishtan naal Hai Karza Utareya Main|
Sangat is bigger than Guru.
Sent father to Delhi on Kashmiri Pandits plea,
then on Sangats request left Anandpur Sahib,
left Chamkaur Garhi on Sangats request,
now you are asking me on Sangats behalf.
It was evening by the time the discussions were going on and on Sangats request, he prepared his mind to begin writing the Zafarnama. There was no place to stay on the Dhaab, so Guru Sahib went to village Chakkar. The next day going via village Takhtupura, village Madhe and village Deena Sahib, he made his mind to stay with Lakhmir and Shamir. Here he wrote the Zafarnama and sent it to Auranzeb in Aurangabad in the hands of Bhai Daya Singh and Bhai Dharam Singh. This place has Guru Jis blessing, so whoever comes here with a wish, his prayer doesnt go unanswered.
