1. Takht Sri Harmandir Jee
Patna Sahib, Bihar

2. In the year 1504, Sri Guroo Naanak Dev Jee went to Patna Sahib with Bhai Mardana Jee. When Guroo Jee was leaving the town he told a merchant called Salis Rai that he would return in his tenth form. Sri Guroo Gobind Singh Jee was born in the city called Patna. As a mark of respect we add Saahib to the end – Patna Saahib. The second takht is called Sri Harmandir Jee. Sri Guroo Gobind Singh Jee was called Gobind Rai before he was blessed with Amrit from the panj pyaarae. Bhikan Shah was a well known Muslim saint. He was very loyal and honest. One day he did something he had never done before. He started bowing in the opposite direction of Mecca during his prayers. This had never been done before. People thought that he had gone crazy. When he was asked why he did this Bhikan Shah said, “If you could see who has come to take care of everything then you would bow in this direction too.” He was talking about the coming of Sri Guroo Gobind Singh Jee. Bhikan Shah went to Patna Saahib to see the child. He found out that a child had been born to Sri Guroo Tegh Bahaadur Jee, the ninth Guroo of the Sikhs. The child’s name was Gobind Rai. Bhikan Shah and Gobind Rai seemed to recognise each other straight away. Bhikan Shah had two pots which he placed in front of Gobind Rai. With his playful spirit, he reached out with both hands and put one on each pot. Bhikan Shah became very happy. Bhikan Shah explained that one of the pots represented the Muslim faith and the other represented the Hindu faith. Gobind Rai placed his hands on both pots meaning he would look after all people and all religions. Sri Guroo Gobind Singh Jee defended all people and he set up the army of the Khalsa that will always stand up for truth.
