Jas, i love this post, it just touched my heart. I am not a Sikh but but i have the utmost respect for the faith and its teachings. Thanks for your post on Amritsar, i would love to visit Amritsar some day. I feel the more that the people of faith, all faiths, come together and share as you have done, we will be taking a few more steps closer to world harmony. Whether you pray in a Gurdwara, Mandir, Masjid, Church or Synagogue, or anywhere else, understanding the faiths and beliefs of your friends and neighbors, and appreciating worship of divinity in all its forms is what life is really about for me. Keep up the great work. 😊@ LuckyJade,
Thanks dear friend for these kind words. All great religions have similarities and all faiths teach us to respect life, human beings and worship God. Our method or practice of worship may be different but it leads us to the same destination.
Sure you should visit Amritsar some times in future. People of all faiths and cultures are welcome there without any prejudice or discrimination. This place is as important as Badrinath is for Hindus and Mecca is for Muslims. LJ ji, complete your studies, you can come with us next time. No problem we will come to California and pick you up during our next Trip to India.

Of course Lemony ji, Amritsar is Sifti da ghar
In gurbani the Fifth Guru Arjan Dev ji said, "Ramdass sarovar nahtee, sab utree paap kamatee."
Guru Gobind Singh ji said, "Rehni rahe soyee Sikh mera, vo sahib mai uska cheera ...Naam japee bhalkee parbhati, isnaan karee Amritsar nahavee."
Gurbani says that a simple dip in the holy water of Ramdas sarovar converts Crows into Swans - Kago Hans Karee.
Here is this beautiful shabad by Mohamed Rafi sahab. This movie Dukhbhanjan tera naam was based on a true story, happened at guru Ramdass time, before the construction of Harimandir sahab the Golden temple which was constructed by Arjan dev ji under the expert supervision of baba Budha ji.

Thanks Shayari :)
Do you know that Guru Granth Sahab has been written in Musical form by Sikh Gurus. The fifth Guru has also included the work of well known poets of Bhagti era like Saint Kabir das, Tulsi das, Ramanand ji, and from South bhagat Namdev ji, from east Bangal - Jaidev ji, Peelu ji, Saini ji. We have compositions of 15 bhagats or saints.
We have 1430 pages in Granth sahab in 31 Raags and other 31 mixed raags, that makes total of 62 Raags. Guru Gobind Singh ji who put the work of all Gurus and bhagats together and gave Granth sahab its present form did not include his compositions in this Granth as a gesture of his respect to previous Gurus. He was a great poet himself and composed shabads in Sanskrit, Fharsi and Brig bhasha in 250 different raags and raginies. Most of his work is found in Dasam Granth.
