വ്യാഴം അമരദാസ ജീ

🙏 എന്തിന് ആഘോഷിക്കുന്നു

Guru Amar Das Ji (1479–1574) became Guru at the age of 73 after years of humble service to Guru Angad Dev Ji. His Parkash, Gurgaddi and Joti Jot days are Gurpurabs.

📖 ഇതിന് പിന്നിലെ കഥ

For twelve years Amar Das carried water from the river Beas every morning for Guru Angad’s bath, even in old age. One stormy night he stumbled and a weaver’s wife mocked him as “Amru the homeless”; Guru Angad embraced him as “the home of the homeless”. As Guru at Goindwal he built the baoli (step-well) with 84 steps, and made everyone — even Emperor Akbar — eat in the langar, sitting on the floor, before meeting him. He spoke against sati and the veil, and appointed women as preachers.
