Question: How did Guru Gobind Singh Ji leave for the heavens at Sri Hazoor Sahib.
(Asked by Amritpal Singh Panesar, UK).
Answer: Our old books clearly tell that Guru Gobind Singh Sahib left for his heavenly abode in Sri Hazoor Sahib and ‘Antim Sanskaar’ of his body was performed by Sikhs.
Later, it was popularised that Guru Sahib himself sat on pyre and left for Sachkhand with his physical body. This idea was further used to fabricate a story that Guru Sahib escaped and started living at Nabha as Ajaipal Singh. Kookas then used the story of Ajaipal Singh and propagate that the Gurgaddi was passed on Bhai Balak Singh and then Ram Singh Bhaini.
