“Agya Bhai Akal ki tabhi chalayo Panth,
Sab Sikhan ko hukam hai Guru manyo Granth.
Guru Granth Ji manyo pargat Guran ki deh
Jo Prabhu ko milna chahe khoj sabad men leh”

Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib is the principal shrine at Nanded where the tenth Guru held his court and congregation. Besides the Takhat Sahib there are also two other shrines. Bunga Mai Bhago Ji is a large room where Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is seated and some historical weapons are at display. Also present within the holy shrine are Angitha Bhai Daya Singh Ji and Angitha Bhai Dharam Singh Ji, these were the two survivors of the battle of Chamkaur, also among the Panj Pyare. Within the Thakat Sahib itself there are some of the sacred relics of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji preserved. These include a golden dagger, a matchlock gun, an archer with 35 arrows, two bows, a steel shield studded with precious stones and five golden swords.

Once the Sangat alongside Baba Ji Arrived at Gurdwara Sri Langar Sahib, (Original Gurdwara of Sant Baba Nidhan Singh Ji & Sant Baba Shisha Singh Ji Kar Sewa Wale) everybody took Ishnaan and visited the Darbar Sahib for Darshan of Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The following day buses transported the sangat around various local Gurdwara's including Gurdwara Sangat Sahib, Gurdwara Shikar Ghat Sahib, Gurdara Nagina Ghat Sahib and Gurdwara Hira Ghat Sahib, which were too were built in memory of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji's visit. Baba Ji stopped at each Gurdwara and informed the Sangat of previous events which took place in Guru Ji's time. The sangat were also taken to the Gurdwara Sahib where Sant Baba Prem Singh Ji stays and welcomes all who come to visit.

Once all the local Gurdwara's had been visited, everybody made way back to Sachkand Sahib where Jathedar Gianni Kulwant Singh of Sri Hazur Sahib served Baba Ji and the Sant Mahapuraks with Guru Ka Langar. Especially serving the Langar himself the Jathedar Ji told all the Sangat that he could not thank everybody enough for coming alongside Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji to give Darshan and pay due respect to Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Towards the evening all the Sant Mahapuraks performed Kirtan and illustrated the enormous history behind the Gurdwara Sahib. Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji also performed Kirtan to address the fellow citizens of the district and inform them of such happenings within our Guru Ji's time. Baba Ji emphasized how much Dhan Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave up in his life time for us Sikhs today. In return Baba Ji encouraged all Sikhs to take Amrit and join our Guru Ji's Khalsa Panth. Baba Ji emphasized that the entire Yatra was only carried out under the Blessing (Kirpa) of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

All the Sant Mahapuraks alongside all members of Sangat were given Siropa's to demonstrate the appreciation by the Jathedar Ji of Sri Hazur Sahib Ji and allow all to feel the notion of love for sikhism still apparent in Sachkand Sri Hazur Sahib Ji today.
