NAHAN: The Prabandhak committee “Gurudwara Shri Dashmesh Asthan” today organized a 329th years Aagman Diwas of Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj in erstwhile state. When Raja Medni Prakash became the ruler of Sirmaur in 1684, he found the State threatened by covetous designs of his eastern neighbour, Raja Fateh Chand of Garhwal. Having heard of the rising power and spiritual influence of the young Sikh Guru Gobind Singh, he thought of wining the latter’s support and invited him to Nahan. The Guru therefore accepted Medni Prakash’s invitation, and arrived at Nahan in April 1685. But his stay at the capital was brief. The Raja offered to him some territory along the river Yamuna, the eastern boundary of the State. Guru Gobind Singh moved there and founded the present township of Paonta Sahib. On Sunday a Mahan Nagar Kirtan, impressive religious function was organized in the town. The Satvender Singh (Harminder Sahib), Amarjit Singh (Patiala), Gurprit Singh (Paonta sahib) and Sarabjit Singh (Patana sahib) have also been invited for the religious function. Jathedhar Kaka vir ji of Baru Sahib, Daljit Singh Bhindar, member SJPC, Kulwant Chaudhary, Manager GPC Paonta sahib and Jaswinder Singh, president Sikh Sabha Shimla also took part in the religious congregation in the town. The weapons used by Guru Gobind Singh ji were also exhibited during the Kirtan. The Prabandhak committee chief A.S. Shah said that When Guru Gobind Singh left Nahan, Raja Medni Prakash expected some gift. So Guru Gobind Singh gave his “Sri Sahib” to Raja which is still present with Raja’s family. The Sikh Naujwann sewak Jatha is also playing a key role in organizing the impressive religious function.
