Sikh Guru De.
Shaan Guru Di
Nanded is awash
with Sangat from all over the world. To embrace the thousands with
all its pristine glory, the Takht was given Takhtsnaan today.
Hundreds of devotees climbed the nook and corner of the Takht
premises to bring sheen and shine to the historic building which is
the centre of attraction of the Sikh world.
Devotees from
Amritsar have arrived with Gold plated canopy-chandelier, the Sikhs
from Deccan, Jalandhar and USA have come with gold and
diamond-studded Kalgis-plumes for the Takht Sahib, the Sikh Dharma
International has graciously presented a Spanish translation of Guru
Granth Sahib, the Chemists and Druggists Association of Nanded has
presented medicines for the pilgrims, the Sikhs of Mumbai and
Patiala have reached there with a score of doctors and para-medics,
Kar Sewa Babas are making gigantic preparations to give a new
dimension to the definition of Langar, the SGPC and other
organizations are preparing for Sikh Games, journalists from Punjab
and rest of the world have occupied the media centre, the Nanded
police has built a vast team of volunteers for manning the Police
and emergency Helplines, the government is pitching in with parks,
roads and an enlarged airport, the media including the locally
popular Godateer Samachar are coming out with special editions,
Doordarshan is telecasting a seven-part series –the air in Nanded
and every where a Sikh resides is reverberating with joy, pride and
respect for the Word of the Guru.
Sikhs from all
over the globe –from

Sikhs proud of their legacy and which should certainly make the
Sikhs rename Nanded as Hazur Sahib for all times to come. Sikh Guru
