WAHEGURU JI KA
KHALSA WAHEGURU JI
KI FATEH When midnight had
passed and there was no
indication of the Guru's
recovery, his mother,
Krishan Kaur, who sat by
his bed, looked at his handsome face, became
very sad, and broke forth
into lamentation—' What shall I do alone in the
world having lost my
dutiful son and my kind
husband. Where shall I
find them, and how shall I
live without them ? ' Satguru Ji said in reply, ' Mother dear, feel no
anxiety, the greater part
of your life has been
spent in happiness.
Pass the remainder in
God's service. Satguru Sri Guru Arjan
Dev Ji Maharaj, the king
of kings and the saint of
saints has said:— Quote This Shabad is by

The One Lord alone is
our help and support;
neither physician nor
friend, nor sister nor
brother can be this. || 1||
His actions alone
come to pass; He
washes off the filth of
sins. Meditate in
remembrance on that Supreme Lord. ||2||
He abides in each
and every heart, and
dwells in all; His seat
and place are eternal.
||3|| He does not come or
go, and He is always
with us. His actions
are perfect. ||4||
He is the Savior and
the Protector of His devotees.
The Saints live by
meditating on God,
the support of the
breath of life.
The Almighty Lord and Master is the
Cause of causes;
Nanak is a sacrifice to
Him. ||5||2||32|| By remembering God
you shalt arrive at such
a superior position that
you shall never know
sorrow and never be
separated from us.' Satguru Ji's mother was
much consoled by this
speech. Satguru Sri Guru
Har Krishan Sahib Ji
Maharaj's final order was
that none should weep for him, but all were to sing
the Gurus' hymns. In the
midst of the hymns and
the repetition of God's
name, Satguru Ji breathed
his last on on March 30, 1664. According to the Guru kian
Sakhian, Mata Bassi, the
grandmother, asked
Gurdas, of the family of
Bhai Bahilo, to start a
reading of the Holy Granth in his memory. Dargah
Mall and Munshi Kalyan
Das were sent to Punjab
with the mournful news.
They first went to Kiratpur
to inform Guru Har Krishan's sister, Bibi Rup
Kaur. The next day, they
set out for Bakala to
inform Guru Tegh
Bahadur. While in Delhi,
he had met Guru Har Krishan and now he
received the news of his
passing away. He
consoled the Sikhs and
taught them to abide by
God's Will. Diwan Dargah Mall and
Munshi Kalyan Das stayed
at Bakala for three days
before returning to Del hi .
According to an entry in
the Bhatt Vahi Talauda Parganah Jind, the ashes
were taken from Delhi to
Kiratpur where they were
mixed with the waters of
the Sutlej. The original
entry is as follows: Sangatbeta Blnne Uppal
