His travels caused such consternation in Aurangzeb’s mind that he got him arrested. Here too, he found no peace and moved out in the Malwa region, and from there to Haryana, preaching his Gospel and digging up wells and tanks on way for use of the peasants of that arid land. The Guru thereupon purchased a piece of land in the Shivalik hills and founded upon it the city of Anandpur (now in the district of Hoshiarpur). He left Bakala to live at Kiratpur, but here too Dhirmal’s followers caused much annoyance to him. He went to Amritsar to pay his homage at the Golden Temple, but the custodians shut its doors upon him. With this, however, his troubles did not end, for elsewhere too, he was facing hostility.


This copy, now lying at Kartarpur with the descendants of Dhirmal, still shows signs at the borders of having been soiled by water. The Guru, however, not only returned the property to Dhirmal but, it is said, deposited the copy of the Adi Granth in a safe bed of the river Beas while he was on his way to Kiratpur and sent word to Dhirmal, against the wishes of his Sikhs, to recover it from there. However, the Sikhs attacked Dhirmal’s house and took possession of all his property, including the original copy of the Adi Granth which the Sikhs revered much and which Dhirmal had looted away. Tegh Bahadur escaped with minor injuries but did not get provoked. One of his rivals, Dhirmal, grandson of Guru Har Rai, even tried to take his life and a shot was fired at him, and his house was ransacked. Hearing that the last Guru had referred to the new Guru being found at Bakala, many claimants to the Throne set up their Gaddis there and created much confusion in the minds of the Sikhs as to who in fact the Guru was.īut devout Sikhs found out Tegh Bahadur and installed him as the Guru at the age of 44.
