Gurdwara Bangla Sahib
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is situated in the heart of New Delhi's
Can naught Place area. It is located on the east side intersection
of Ashok Road and Baba Kharag Singh Marg. Originally this place
was the Bungalow (haveli) of Mirza Raja Jai Singh, therefore the
name Bangla Sahib. Its original name was Jaisinghpura Palace. Mirza
Raja Jai Singh was a significant military person in charge of Mughal
emperor Aurangzeb’s.
After the transitory absent of Guru Har Rai the seventh Sikh Guru,
Ram Rai and his masands(masand is resulting from Arabic word masnad,
connotation delegating authority of the monarch) instigated Mughal
monarch Aurangzeb to subject a decree summoning Guru Harkrishan
toward his court. Ram Rai was elder brother of Guru Harkrishan.
Guru Harkrishan decided to go to Delhi since he felt so as to the
"sangat", his supporters had been mistaken and he saw
an opportunity in this to clear their misunderstanding. In the meantime
Sikhs of Delhi approached Mirza Raja Jai Singh, a strong devotee
of Sikh Gurus to put off any harm pending to Guru Harkrishan either
by Aurangzeb or by the masands of Ram Rai.
Ram Rai when educated that Guru Harkrishan had conventional the
summons to come into view previous to Aurangzeb in his courtyard
at Delhi, in progress triumph since Guru Harkrishan had in use a
vow not toward come into view before Aurangzeb. If Guru Harkrishan
Comes toward Delhi and refuses to meet Aurangzeb after that absolutely
he determination be under arrest and suffer humiliation.
Now Ram Rai felt so as to this act of Guru Harkrishan determination
surely lower his standing in the middle of his followers and will
pave the way for Ram Rai to say publicly himself as the true descendant
of Guru Har Rai.
