Gurudwara Tahli Sahib
Santokhsar Sahib
Gurudwara Tahli Sahib (Santokhsar) is a very solitary and heart-loving religious place. The place is touched by the footsteps of the fourth Master, Guru Ram Das ji and the fifth Master, Guru Arjan Dev ji. According to history, Guru Ram Das Ji came from Goindwal Sahib in samvat:1629 and started digging the Amrit Sarovar. Thus the sarovar has the distinction of being the first sarovar in the history of the Guru. Then in the samvat:1645, Guru Arjan Dev ji started the karsewa and hundreds of Sikhs started contributing into karsewa. The sangats started doing kar seva (carrying earthen baskets in rows and rows) chanting Sat Naam Sri Waheguru. Guru Sikh enthusiastically dug a sarovar and carried soils out and a monastery (a kind of cave) came out from under the excavation of the sarovar. By the Guru’s order, the monastery was opened and a yogi was sitting in meditation. Whose forehead shone like a star. When the Yogi opened his eyes and saw Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the Yogi placed his head at the Guru’s feet and requested that I have been sitting here for a long time by the order of my Guru. Guru Arjan had lent him wisdom and given him contentment.The Guru used to sit under the Tahli. Hence the name of the Gurdwara is popularly known as Gurdwara Tahli Sahib.
