| Guru
Harikrishan was born on July 7th 1656 AD in Kiratpur in
Dist. Ropar in Punjab. He was only 5 years old when his
father nominated him as his successor on October 7th
1661. Guru Harikrishan visited Deldi on the invitation of
Raja Jai Singh of Amber (Jaipur) as desired by Emporer
Aurangzeb and stayed in his bungalow. He imparted
spiritual instructions to the mulitudes of people. In
those days the entire city was in the grip of a smallpox
epidemic, thousands of people died of infection. To
provide relief to the suffering people Guru Harikrishan
got a small pool constructed just outside his room and
poured water in it, picked up a little water and again
poured it in. He then put his foot in the pool of water
and thus people would recite 'Satnam Waheguru' (sacred
mantra) and take some of the water and be cured. Yet the Guru would not cure himself when he contracted smallpox due to the constant exposure. Before departing from his body he told his followers that the next Guru would be in Baba Bakala, a reference to a small village (Bakala) and to the next Guru (his Baba), Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji who lived there. |
