On the other hand, the fountain of Shah Wali Qandhari dried Guru Nanak Dev Ji, along with Bhai Mardana Ji, reached up. On witnessing this, the Wali, in his rage, threw a part of the Punjab, after traveling to Makkah & Bagdar. They reached a hill towards the Guru from the top of the hill. The Guru stopped the hurled rock with his hand, leaving his hand print on the rock. Observing that miracle, Wali’s pride & ego broke and he came down to meet Guru Nanak Ji. Now, he was a changed man, with a clear heart, all the negative feelings: anger, hatred, jealousy vanished, and all the positive feelings: love, benevolence, kindness, peace, mercy etc. took birth. He promised Guru Ji that he won’t discriminate between Hindus & Muslims. Wali became the Guru’s devotee. This holy and revered place was named Panja Sahib by Hari Singh Nalwa, the most famous General of the Kingdom of the Sikhs. He is credited with having built the first Gurudwara at this place. —Inderjit Kaur Lau (9465125066) Rtd.

This MITTER FROM 2014 annoyed Hazrat Shah Wali Qandhari, who used to meditate atop a nearby hill, but he was helpless. It has been decided that the yearly subscription of Mohyal Mitter, from January 2014 onwards, will be Rs.
