Bhai Lallo, blessed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, during his first
Uddassi was an artisan of Ghataura gotra of ramgarhiakom. Guru
Nanak Dev Ji along with Bhai Mardana visited his house in
Eminabad in 1504 AD. Leaving a number of palatial buildings
behind Guru Ji reached Bhai Lallo's small, simple and clean
haveli and knocked at the door twice. Bhai Lallo opened the
door, bowed before his honored guests and took them inside. He
laid a charpai covered with a whte cloth for Guru Ji and
provided a peehra to Bhai mardana to sit on. Making his guests
sit comfortably, Bhai Lallo asked Guru Ji with folded hands,
"Sorry, I could not recognize you, will you kindly disclose
your identity."
"Bhai Lallo, you know
me very well sincre long. I need not disclose myself befor you.
You had been waiting for me for quiet some time." Bhai
Lallo looked at Guru Ji more carefully and said, "Oh, then
you are Nanak Tappa." "Yes, BHai Lallo, you have
rightly recognized me. I have to discuss with you, the entire program
to remove evils from the society and show people the path of
righteousness which leads to the worship of Almighty and
emancipation of human beings. |
Guru
Ji stayed with Bhai Lallo and his family consisting of his wife
and one daughter, Bibi Rajji, for a pretty long period. He
always relished the simple food provided by Bhai Lallo's family,
which contained the nectar of honest, lore and reverence. |
Bhai
Lallo's house became a place of pilgrimage for the people, when
he used to earn his livelihood by attending to wooden and smithy
work for the people. He also had small well bearing sweet water,
called by Hindus as Amrit and Aab-I-Hayat by Muslims, otherwise
the wells of the entire village bore som and saline water unfit
