Where history flows, harmony prevails
Gurdwara Sant Ghat is near a pond called "Sant Sarovar." As per the legend, Guru Nanak Dev undertook a sacred ablution ceremony in this pond, and its water is reputed to possess therapeutic attributes. The Langar Hall in Gurdwara Sant Ghat is an exemplary feature. The term Langar denotes the communal free kitchen, which caters to all visitors with vegetarian meals, regardless of their social rank, religious affiliation, or caste. Within the gurdwara premises, one can discover a collection of significant relics, manuscripts, and paintings with great cultural and historical significance to the Sikh community.
The presented artefacts provide valuable insight into the opulent legacy and cultural heritage of the Sikh religion. Gurdwara Sant Ghat serves as a representation of collective harmony, parity, and comprehensiveness. The venue extends a hospitable reception to individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their convictions, and advances the fundamental tenets of Sikhism, namely empathy, altruism, and piety.
Every morning, Nanak got up early and went to take a bath in the river. As the Janam Sakhis narrated the details, Guru Nanak disappeared into the stream one morning and was not seen for three days. On reaching Nirankar's place Sachkhand, he got Satnaam's updesh "Mool Mantar '' from Nirankar, which he gave to the whole world; it is only a blessing of this Bein.
The big reason for this place to be named Sant Ghat is that Guru Nanak Dev meditated here to the Akaal Purakh & went from there to serve the world. When he reappeared at a spot 2 km upstream, known as Sant Ghat, he first uttered, "There is no musalmaan. There is no Hindu. God is not a Hindu or a Muslim, and I will follow God's path.". After that, Guru Nanak embarked on his long journeys.
