Bhai Dalla Singh was (later Dall Singh) a Siddhu Jatt and chaudhari or landlord of Talvandi Sabo, enthusiastically received Guru Gobind Singh when he arrived there with his entourage early in 1706, and attended diligently to the needs and comforts of the daily-growing sangat. According to Bhai Santokh Singh, Sri Gur Pratap Suraj Granth, Dalla maintained a private army of several hundred warriors of whom he was very proud. He more than once commiserated with Guru Gobind Singh on the events that had overtaken him, boastfully adding that had the Guru called him for help he would have joined him with his bold warriors and that he (the Guru) would have been saved much of the travail. Guru Gobind Singh every time dismissed the topic saying, "God's will must prevail, It is useless to brood over the past." Bhai Dal singh would often boast the bravery of Jutts., vis-a-vis other communities. Once as Dalla was repeating his boast, two artisans of Lahore came and presented the Guru with two costly muzzle-loading guns. The Guru asked Bhai Dalla to provide a couple of his men as targets for him to test the range and striking power of the weapons. The strange demand stunned Dalla and put his men out of their wits, and none of them came forward. The Guru there upon invited two Ranghreta Sikhs, father and son, who happened to be busy tying their turbans near by. They both came running, turbans in hand, each trying to be in front of the other in order to be the first to face the bullet. Bhai Dalla, astonished at the Sikh's spirit of sacrifice, was ashamed and learnt to be humble. He understood that the brotherhood of Khalsa was much much braver than his jutts. He took the initiation of the Khalsa, receiving the name of Dal Singh. A small domed shrine within the precincts of Takht Damdama Sahib at Talwandi Sabo honours Dal Singh's memory to this day. A sword and shield and a few other articles claimed to have been bestowed upon him by Guru Gobind Singh are preserved in the descendant family as sacred relics. #Haveli #Historic #Sikh #Sikhism #Holy #Sacred #Faith #Heritage #SikhHeritage #ArchWay #HandPainted #BrickAndLime #BhaiDallSinghKiHaveli #TenthGuru #GuruGobindSingh #Khalsa (at Talwandi Sabo ਦਮਦਮਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ)

The gurudwara at Muktsar The Battle of Muktsar or Battle of Khidrāne Dee Dhāb took place on 8 May 1705, (21 Vaisakh 1762 Bikrami calendar)following the siege of Anandpur. In 1704, Anandpur was under an extended siege by the allied forces of the Mughals and the hill chiefs. During the siege 40 men, led by Bhai Maha Singh Bhai Maha Singh, Puar Rajput Sikh by caste, son of Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh, Diwan of the Tenth guru and Jathedar of Amritsar during tenth guru, wrote letters of bedava (abandonment of a Sikh from his Guru) to Guru Gobind Singh. They arrived in the village of Jhabal where a Sikh woman named Mai Bhago, upon hearing their tale of desertion, motivated them into returning back to Guru Ji at Anandpur Sahib. The 40 deserters with Mai Bhago returned to seek out Guru Gobind Singh, and joined him near Khidrāne Dee Dhāb preparing for battle against the Mughals. They fought, defeated the Mughals and died in the following battle. The guru, finding the dying Maha Singh on the battlefield after the battle, forgave him and his compatriots, tore up their letters of bedava, and blessed them for their service. The place was later renamed Muktsar, literally meaning The Pool of Liberation. Mai Bhago survived the battle and stayed on with Guru Gobind Singh Ji as one of his bodyguards. #MuktsarSahib #Holy #Guru #GuruGobindSinghJi #TenthGuru #Martyr #Holy #Sacred #Liberation #Gurudwara #Beaut #Beautiful #Heritage #Sikh #Sikhism #JoBoleSoNihal #Historic #Muktsar #Punjab #PunjabDiaries #PunjabJournal #India #IncredibleIndia #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Traveller #TravelLog #TravelDiaries #Travelogue (at Sri Muktsar Sahib)
