The Guru Ji tells us about his previous incarnation, that in the Himalayan range, where there is Sapt Sring Mountain, on that hill he meditated the Name of God. In his meditation when he became one with God, then the Almighty ordained him to take birth in India in order to crush the cruel rulers.

"My father and mother meditated on the incomprehensible. They both practiced the highest yoga through diverse spiritual efforts. Their devout service in the love of God pleased the Almighty who commanded me to take human form in this world. I did not like to come. God sent me into the world with a mandate saying, 'I cherish thee as my son and send thee to establish the path of truth. Go into the world and establish virtue and keep the people, away from evil.'When my father came to Triveni (Allahabad) he daily devoted himself to meditation and charity. There at Allahabad the dazzling light manifested itself into human form."

The Guru was so much engrossed in the Name of God, that he did not want to take re-birth. But some how the Almighty, persuaded him and he was born at Patna Sahib. His mother was Mata Gujri and his father was ninth Guru Tegh Bahadar Sahib.

As Guru Gobind Singh had mentioned, the place of his previous incarnation in his auto-biography, many sikh scholars tried very hard to locate the exact place. In this field the names of Sant Sohan Singh, Hawaidar Moan Singh, Sant Thandi Singh and Sant Surat Singh are taken with great respect. They dedicated their whole life to locate the exact place in order to construct the Gurdwara Hemkunt Sahib. In this field the services of the Hem Kunt-Trust are laudable. The Trust has constructed roads leading towards Hemkunt Sahib and for the benefit of the travellers it has built big Gurdwaras on the way.

Gurudwara Hemkunt in the Himalayas is also regarded as one of the holiest places of the Sikhs. It was there that Sri Guru Gobind Singh the tenth and last Guru of the Sikhs is reported to have meditated in his previous life.
   In 'Bachitar Natak' the great Guru relates his story in the following words- "I shall now relate my own story, how God sent me into this world. I was busy performing penance on the hills of 'Hemkunt' where seven peaks are prominent. The place is called 'Sapt Shring’ where King Pandu had performed Yoga, there I practiced austerity and worshipped the god of death.
He writes in his autobiography that Ram Chander son of Raja Dasrath had two sons Lava and Kushu. Lava and Kushu ruled    over  Northern India for many years. They remained good friends during their rule and they colonized two important cities Lahore   and Kasur in Punjab. But when they died their sons could not tolerate each other. They became great enemies. In order to get their  supremacy they quarreled with each other, One grand son of Lava named Sodhi won the battle and became the king of Punjab. The grandsons of Kushu being defeated took shelter at Banaras.   There they learnt the Vedaas.


Due to their knowledge of Vedaas, they were nick named as Bedees. The Guru writes
“Lavee sarab jeete Kushee sarab haare.

Bache je balee praan lai kai sidhaare.

Chattur bed pathiyang keeyo Kashi basing.

    Ghanai barkh keene tahaan hee niwasing. (52)”


One-day king Sodhi remembered his relatives living at Banaras. He made up his mind to call them. He sent a messenger and all Bedees reached in the Darbar of King Sodhi at Lahore.
King Sodhi asked them to recite the four Vedaas according to the divine process. When the Bedees recited three Vedaas and started to read the fourth Vedaa, the King Sodhi got up from his throne. He asked the leader of the Bedees to take his royal seat. He offered his kingdom to the Bedees with great honor. He himself decided to go to forests in order to contemplate the Name of God.

When king Sodhi got prepared for his new abode, the newly crowned king Bedee said, "As you have gifted us the worldly kingdom after hearing three Vedaas, similarly in Kalyug we would offer you the Divine Kingdom in our third incarnation. In Kalyug Guru Nanak was born as first Divine master. He was called the true Patshah. After reigning as the Divine King in the form of Guru Nanak Dev, Guru Angad Dev and Guru Amar Dass, he offered his Divine kingdom to Sodhi Patshah Guru Ram Dass Ji.

The Sodhi king grandson of Lava proceeded towards jungles and he selected a very beautiful place for his abode. He worshiped there the name of God for many thousand years.

About his own life Guru Gobind Singh writes in his auto-biography as under: -



Ab main apnee katha bakhaano.

Tap saadhat iih bidh muhe aano.

Hemkunt Parbat hai jahaan,

Sapt sring sobhit hai tahaan.

Fairy Cottage
This cottage is situated 7 K.M. from Faridkot on Chahal Road. Maharaja Brijinder Singh constructs this beautiful cottage in 1910-11.

Check Tower
This tower is made at the entrance of the Fairy cottage, which is also constructed by Maharaja Brijinder Singh.

Dhudike
The village Dhudike lies 3 km from Ajitwal Railway Station on the Ludhiana-Firozpur railway line, and is linked with a Pucka road between Moga and Jagraon, some 16 km from either town. The people here are politically conscious having taken part in the `Gaddar Movement` and Guru-Ka-Bagh Agitation.

Lala Lajpat Rai (1965-1928), the great national leader was born in this village. His birthday, celebrated in the village, attracts a large number of persons. A Lajpat Rai Birth place Memorial Committee was formed in 1956 and it bought a plot of about one acre of land in the village abadi including the house where he was born. A memorial has been erected here in the memory of the great freedom fighter.

Giddarbaha
This town is about 34 km south of Muktsar. It is a railway station on Bathinda Hidumalkot line and an important market of cotton and grains. It is also connected by road with Bathinda. The place is known for snuff, which is a product of tobacco ground together with lime, ghee and some perfumes. Its population was 39,866 persons as per 1991 Census. During 1992-3, there was one unit at Giddarbaha in medium and large-scale sector, viz. markfed Cotton Seed Processing Plant, Giddarbaha.

Jaito
It lays 30026` north latitude and 75056`, east longitude, 32 km south of Kot Kapura and 40 km north of Bathinda. It has a railway station on the Bathinda-Firozpur section and is also connected by roads with Kot Kapura, Moga, Barnala and Bathinda. According to the 1991 Census the Population of the town was 28,850.

Jaito, a hat of the Sidhu Clan, founded the town. The mandi is very famous on account of Jaito morcha, very well known in the freedom struggle which was launched as a protest against dethroning of maharaja Ripudaman Singh of Nabha by the Britishers in January 1923, mainly on account of his extremely patriotic feelings. This raised a wave of popular resentment throughout his State, rather all over Punjab. Processions and meetings were arranged at many places and Akhand paths started in gurudwaras for the restoration of the gaddi of the maharaja. In these meetings and prayers, the Britishers saw a challenge to their authority and unleashed a reign of terror to suppress popular wave. The Gangsar was one of those gurudwaras where such recitation of Guru Granth Sahib had started. All those leading these gatherings were imprisoned but this flared the flames further. Jathas of volunteers began to pour into the town to court arrest. A jatha of 500 was machine gunned on 21 February 1924, when they wanted to raise their religious banner at the Tibbi Sahib Gurudwara at Jaito, Scores fell as martyrs to the firing and to this many correspondents including Dr Saifu-ud-Din Kichlu were witnesses. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and Mr Gidwani reached the spot to see things for themselves. They too were arrested alonghwith Mr K. Santanam and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment. Pandit Nehru was confined in the Nabha Jail where several compatriots arrested in this connection perished under the iron heel of the foreign rule.

The jaito owes its importance to its grain market and famous cattle fair held in the month of March.

Kot Kapura
This town is 10 km south of Faridkot and 51 km north of Bathinda. It has a railway station on the Bathinda-Firozpur section, and is connected by metalled roads with Moga, Firozpur, Muktsar and Bathinda. The population of the town was 47,550 in 1981, which rose to 62,480 in 1991.

Kot Kapura town was founded by Kapura one of the forefather of the princely ruling family of Faridkot State, at the suggestion of a famous Hindu ascetic, Bhai Bhagtu. Kapura had succeeded to the Chaudriat bestowed on his on his family by the Mughal Darbar at Delhi. When Guru Gobind Singh, before the battle of Muktsar, visited him and asked for his assistance, Kapura was hesitant as he was afraid of reprisals at the hands of the Mughals. The tradition goes that Guru Gobind Singh cursed Kapura, saying that he would die at the hands of his friends, the Turks (Mughals). Guru then stayed in the town at another place where now a Gurudwara associated with the Guru stands. Kapura, however, allowed Guru's family who was following the Guru to stay with him family who was following the Guru to stay with him for the night and entertained them. But this does not appear to have much softened the curse of the Guru. Isa Khan, the owner of the fort and village of that name who was Kapura's great rival and enemy, but had failed to make him yield. He then patched up with him and invited him to a banquet where he treacherously assassinated him. Kapura's sons avenged the murder of their father with a heavy hand, killed Isa Khan and plundered his fort. Kapura's descendents held kot Kapura and Faridkot separately till the Britishers made Pahar Singh the chief of Faridkot and bestowed koe Kapura Singh the chief of Faridkot and bestowed Kot Kapura on him, as a reward for his assistance in the First Anglo Sikh War of 1845.

Kot Kapura is a flourishing grain market and industrial centre . Among places of historical importance are a fort, now in ruins, and the place where Raja Wazir Singh used to say his prayers.

Malaut
Malaut is a new flourishing mandi and the subdivision located on Bathinda-Hindumalkot railway line. It is 32 km from Fazilka and 47 km from Bathinda. According to the 1991 Census its population was 56,858.

About one-fifth of the entire cotton produced in Punjabis raised within a radious of 32 km from Malaut. The old market being too small to accommodate the heavy arrivals, two new markets have been built. During 1992-93, there were 3 Ginning and Processing units working at Malaut in medium and large-scale sector.

Faridkot district is slightly small in area. It is popular due to Faridkot (City), Kotakpura and Jaito. Faridkot is well-known for Historical and religious purposes. The fort (Quila Mubarak), the palace (Raj Mahal), the guest house (Darbar Ganj), the smadhs of ruling family, the secretariat of erstwhile Faridkot State in which now courts and offices are housed, and the clock tower are other places of interest in the town. There is also a stadium in front of Brijindra College, Faridkot known as the Victory Stadium, which was constructed by the Maharaja, a few years before the Independence. It has a seating capacity for over five lakhs and is provided with a track of 400 metres and a special pucca cycle track.

In Faridkot District, there is hardly any place of tourist attraction, though there are a good number of places or historical, religious and local Importance in this area which are described below:

Qila Mubarak

According to the compiler of the Gazetter of Faridkot State (Lahore, 1914), the old fort was built by Raja Mokulsi on square-shaped land, measuring more than 10 acres. Around 1775, Raja Hamir Singh reconstructed it. The main building seen at present and other important structures were built around 1890 by Raja Bikram Singh (1842-1898) and by Raja Balbir Singh (1869-1906). Raja Bikram Singh, who ruled for 24 years, contributed a lot to Faridkot state. Raja Balbir Singh died in 1906 and was succeeded by Raja Barjinder Singh, who ruled up to 1918. The next and the last ruler of Faridkot state, Raja Sir Harinder Singh Brar Bans Bahadur, ascended the rajgaddi in 1918 after the death of Raja Barjinder Singh.

The beauty of this fort lies in its magnificent architecture. Elegantly designed in European style and constructed by skilled masons, it is a masterpiece of workmanship. Its floors, ceilings, walls and arched openings have been executed with artistic precision.

Fashioned out of small Nanakshahi bricks and lime mortar, more than 20-foot-high ramparts and large bastions (burjs) constructed for the security guards and to mount the guns are still safe and sound, thanks to the repairs carried out by the Maharawal Khewa Ji Trust, Faridkot. But the main building and other structures of the complex (except Sheesh Mahal and Moti Mahal) need massive repairs and restoration work.

The entrance to the fort is provided through a beautiful multi-storeyed deori. It has a 14-foot-wide and 22-foot-high heavy wooden gate, which was used as a protective shield during war. The splendid artistic pattern on the ceiling of the deori is praiseworthy and attracts visitors. On the first floor of the deori is the beautifully designed Sheesh Mahal or hall of mirrors. The concave and convex glasswork is quite romantic. Some beautiful paintings decorate the walls. The desire of Raja Sir Harinder Singh to have a large museum in Sheesh Mahal is yet to be fulfilled. To make the fort impressive, two big guns placed in the baradari welcome visitors to the fort. The main building and other structures of the fort have been constructed on a ground, which is 12 feet above the main road and entrance gate, for safety reasons.

The huge building of Moti Mahal built to the south of the entrance, now houses the offices of the Maharawal Khewa Ji Trust (which looks after the properties of Raja Harinder Singh). Gurdwara Sahib and Modi Khana (military barracks) have been constructed to the north of the entrance. For the protection of the royal family from air attacks, an air-raid shelter was also built in the fort complex.

The 34-foot-wide, 90-foot-long and 22-foot-high Darbar Hall of the main building has been built in such a way that it remains cool even during the hot season. The architectural beauty of the Darbar Hall dazzles one and all. Although the false ceiling stands damaged at many places, the artistic work done on the false ceiling in plaster of Paris and woodwork executed on big arches of the Darbar Hall is unmatched. Carved wood paneling on the Darbar Hall walls and its marble flooring still look graceful. But artistically designed wooden chhajjas built around the main building on the first floor are unsafe.

The name 'Faridkot' is derived from Baba Farid, the famous religious lover of God whose bani appears in the Guru Granth Sahib. Faridkot was feudlist province under British rule , but now it is a district in Punjab in independent India.

The ancestor of the Faridkot principality, Bhallan was an ardent follower of 6th Sikh Guru Har Gobind. He helped the Guru Har Gobind ji in the battle of Mehraj. He died issueless in 1643. Kapura, who was a nephew of Bhallan, succeeded him. Kapura founded the town of Kotkapura in 1661. Nawab Kapura was the Chaudhry of eighty-four villages. He was a Sikh but did not want to earn the ire of the Mughals and help Guru Gobind Singh Ji and fight with Mughals.

The famous last battle of Muktsar (Khidrane Di Dhaab) now a historic town, happened after Nawab Kapura declined Guru Gobind Singh's request to use his fort to fight Mughal Army. Otherwise the last war between Mughals and Guru Gobind Singh Ji was destined to happen at Kotkapura. Guru ji moved from Kotkapura to Dhilwan Kalan from there to Talwandi sabo via Guru ki Dhab. However, later in the battle of Muktsar in 1705, Nawab Kapura helped Guru Gobind Singh Ji in an underhand manner. Kapura was slain by Isa Khan Manj in 1708. He had three sons named Sukhia, Sema and Mukhia. Mukhia killed Isa Khan and took control of the entire area. Sema was also killed in this battle in 1710. Kapura's elder son Sukhia again came into power in 1720.

A dispute between grandsons of Kapura (sons of Sukhia) led to the division of the state in 1763. The older brother, Sardar Jodh Singh Brar, retained control of Kotkapura, and his younger brother, Sardar Hamir Singh Brar, was given Faridkot.

The state was captured in 1803 by Ranjit Singh, but was one of the Cis-Sutlej states that came under British influence after the 1809 Treaty of Amritsar. During the Sikh wars in 1845, Raja Pahar Singh aided the British, and was rewarded with an increase of territory. The state had an area of and its 642 square miles, and a population of 124,912 in 1901. It was bounded on the west and northeast by the British district of Ferozepore, and on the south by the state of Nabha. The last Ruler of Faridkot was Lt. HH Farzand-i-sadaat Nishan Hazrat-i-kaisar-i-hind Raja Sir Harindar Singh Brar Bans Bahadur.

Mohali (Punjabi: ਮੋਹਾਲੀ, Hindi: मोहाली, mōhālī) is a city adjacent to Chandigarh, 18th District in Punjab, India. It is officially named after the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singh, Sahibzada Ajit Singh (SAS Nagar, or "House of Sahibzada Ajit Singh"). It along with Chandigarh and Panchkula form a part of the Chandigarh Tricity or Chandigarh Capital Region. It was earlier a part of the Rupnagar District, and was carved out into a separate district in the recent years.

Background
Mohali was conceived after the trifurcation of Punjab and its capital Chandigarh becoming a Union Territory in late 1966. Today, Mohali and Chandigarh are contiguous areas with only the boundary of Punjab and UT of Chandigarh dividing this area. The original plan of Mohali is in fact a mere extension of the road and design system of Chandigarh without any unique planning. The development earlier was only till Phase VII. The development of sectors and phases from Phase 8 onwards started in late 1980s, and the city got its own bus stand in Phase 8 in mid 1990s. In 2006, Mohali's population is near 200,000, approximately 1/5 of Chandigarh's. The region has been targeted by an increasing number of outsourcing IT companies, who look to capitalize on the rich investment opportunities the city offers.
Mohali and Panchkula are under the consideration of Punjab and now a days Mohali is a separate district of punjab.

Location
Mohali is located to the West of Chandigarh. It is almost a continuation of the Chandigarh city. To its north is Rupnagar district. To its south are Fatehgarh Sahib and Patiala. Due to fast urban growth, Mohali has almost merged into the Chandigarh city.
Chandigarh, Panchkula, Zirakpur, Pinjore, Kharar, Mohali, Kurali, Ropar, and Morinda are nearby locations

Climate
Mohali has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate characterized by a seasonal rhythm: hot summers, slightly cold winters, unreliable rainfall and great variation in temperature (-1 °C to 44 °C). In winter, frost sometimes occurs during December and January. The average annual rainfall is recorded at 617 mm. The city also receives occasional winter rains from the west.
Average temperature
Summer: The temperature in summer may rise to a maximum of 44°C. Temperatures generally remain between 35°C and 42°C. Autumn: In autumn, the temperature may rise to a maximum of 36°C. Temperatures usually remain between 16° and 27° in autumn. The minimum temperature is around 13°C. Winter: Average temperatures in winter (November to February) remain at (max) 7°C to 15 °C and (min) -2°C to 5°C. Spring: spring temperatures vary between (max) 16°C and 25°C and (min) 9°C and 18°C.

Demographics
As of 2001 India census, Mohali had a population of 123,284. Males constitute 53% of the population and females 47%. Mohali has an average literacy rate of 83%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 85%, and female literacy is 81%. In Mohali, 10% of the population is under 6 years of age.

Languages
Punjabi is the main spoken language in Mohali. Hindi and English are also prevalent.

City Design
Following the success of Chandigarh's sector design, Mohali was similarly planned into identical 800 X 1200 m sectors. Many have yet to be fully developed, as is the case of sector 62, which is earmarked for a future commercial City Centre. Its proximity to the PCA Stadium, as well as unrivaled transportation links to Chandigarh make it a suitable choice.
The recent Master Plan of Mohali has been recently extended up to 114 sectors.
The iconic PUDA Bhawan-official headquarters of the Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority, initiated by KBS Sidhu, an IAS officer, signifies the towering role of PUDA vis-a-vis Mohali. Now, PUDA's functions of planning and urban development have been transferred to the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA); initially DC Mohali had been named as its Chief Administrator, but now a separate and full-time IAS officer has been so appointed.

Cricket Stadium
In 1992, the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) unveiled a plan to build a state of the art facility complete with a separate practise ground - to be built in a swampy area in Mohali . The PCA invested heavily in the ground, a swimming pool, health club, tennis court, library, restaurant, and bar and outdoor & indoor cricket practice nets were incorporated into the plans.
Most of the Punjab-based national cricketers train in Mohali, including Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Dinesh Mongia, Manpreet Gony and Punjab cricket team.



Corporate Investment
While Mohali houses many state-local companies like PTL (Punjab Tractor Limited), ICI Paints, and the Godrej Group, its reputation as a home for large, multinational corporations is growing.


Quark, Mohali
Infosys, the well-known Indian IT services major, had a development center in Mohali, which has now moved to Chandigarh Technology Park. Global tech giants like Dell, Quark, Philips, Sebiz Infotech, SCL (Semiconductor Complex Limited), and PUNCOM have followed. Denver-based Quark has created the $500M, 46-acre (190,000 m2) QuarkCity in Mohali, complete with a residential complex comprising 30% of the 'city'; the shopping, entertainment, medical, and educational district consume another 10%. It is expected to generate 25,000 direct, and 100,000 indirect jobs.
QuarkCity is a 51-acre (210,000 m2), multi-use development that includes a Special Economic Zone (SEZ). QuarkCity is located in the district of Mohali, Punjab, within the extended grid of Le Corbusier’s modern city of Chandigarh, 265 km (166 miles) north of India’s capital city of New Delhi.
