What Happened At The End Of Guru Nanaks Life?

Answer 1

Guru Nanak Dev ji's students, followers were from every community, but most are Hindu and Muslims. When Guru Nanak Dev ji's soul left their body, both of them started fighting over performing last rites according to their religion. Guru Nanak Dev ji's body was inside a room over a bed-sheet and fully covered by a bed-sheet too. Muslims insisted that it should be cremated while hindus wanted it to burn. A few minutes later, a man came and told both of them that he met Guru Nanak Dev on his way who told him to deliver his message not fight to his followers. Everybody was caought unaware when they inside and saw just too bed-sheets lying. But still, both of them took one bed sheet each performed last rites according to their religion on bedsheets. Hindus and Muslims built a temple and mosque respectively. That was near an ocean. But again both, temple and mosque were taken away by a storm and it was heard that now Guru Nanak lives in heart of Guru Angad.

Kartarpur (meaning: The City of God), was established by Guru Nanak in 1522[1]. On Asu sudi 10, 1596 Bikrmi [Monday September 22, 1539 AD] Guru Nanak breathed his last at Kartarpur. Since the Guru's followers had been raised as Hindus or Muslims(each of which had different methods of dealing with one's earthly remains), an argument arose over whether the Guru's body should be cremated or buried. Traditionally, Hindus cremate while Muslims bury the bodies of loved ones after death.

Ultimately it was decided that flowers would be placed by each group on his body. Whosoever's flowers were found withered the next morning would loose the claim. It is related that the next morning when the cloth sheet was removed the Guru's body was missing and both sets of flowers were found as fresh as when they were placed.

The two communities then decided to divide the cloth sheet that covered the Guru's body and together with the flowers that they had place, one burying it and the other consigning it to fire. Therefore, both a samadh (Hindu tradition monument of remembrance) lies in the Gurdwara at Kartarpur and a grave (according to Muslim traditions) lies on the premises as a reminder of this joint claim to Guru Nanak Dev ji by both the communities.

The gurdwara is located next to a small village named Kothay Pind (village) on the West bank of the Ravi River in Punjab, Pakistan. The original abode established byGuru Nanak was washed away by floods of the river Ravi.

The Gurudwara at Kartarpur can be seen from another Gurdwara located across the border at the historical town of Dehra Baba Nanak in India (It is not Dera, as so many people wrongly call it. Dehra is derived from the word Deh or body). Both sites are one of the holiest places in Sikhism located in the Majha region.

Recently, there has been lobbying to open the corridor for Sikhs from India to visit the shrine without any hindrance or visa. It lies only 3 km from the border.

With all the above mentioned, I feel it would have been best if you said departure. That was not the last of him, He's light has been pasted on onto each of the 10 gurus after him after the GurtaGaddi was given to them, which was finally passed on to the Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji the holy Sikh scripture as well as the eternal one.

Since no one is permanent that is who come on earth has to go ,so guru nanak dev ji gives the gurtha gadi to lehna who later known as guru angad dev ji by the philospy of "JOT UHA JUGAT SE KAYA FER PALTIA"i.e.jot of nanak which is the jot of himself god is just moves to guru angad dev ji.GURU NANAK DEV JI ALSO DONOT GO ANYWHERE.ONE WHO WANTS TO MEET HIM JUST FOLLOWS GURU GRANTH SAHIB AS HE HIMSELF REMAINS IN GURU GRANTH SAHIB.
