Guru Ram Das smiled and said, “This pool is in fact supreme among all places of pilgrimages. This man whom I know not, claims to be him, but I believe he is some deceitful person who has a design on my virtue.” I left my leprous husband here and he has disappeared. After compliments, Bibi Rajni said, "I am a virtuous woman. She and her husband appeared before Guru Ram Das. Bibi Rajni's belief was, that the stranger before her had killed her husband, and now presented himself as an unholy lover in her helplessness and bereavement.īibi Rajni still remained skeptical. When Bibi Rajni returned from langar she was unable to recognize her husband. He walked as a young man and again sat under the shade of the Ber tree. When he came out he was astonished to find himself healthy, he was no longer a leper. Seeing this he concluded that pool did not contain ordinary water, so he made up his mind to bathe in the pond.īibi Rajni's husband crawled to the pond and went in. The crows reappeared with their colour changing from black to white. While they were struggling, the bread fell into the pool. One had a piece of bread in its mouth, which the other tried to snatch. The leper, left alone, saw two crows fighting. Bibi Rajni, left her husband under a ber tree in the cool and grateful proximity of the water, while she departed to get a meal.

Wandering, Bibi Rajni arrived footsore and weary at the very spot which the third Guru had indicated and the fourth Guru had marked out as the site of his pool of nectar (Amritsar), and there laid down her burden. One day, Bibi Rajni procured a basket, put her husband into it, and tenderly bore him on her head to places of pilgrimage in the hope of curing him of his malady. But Bibi Rajni did not mind, she accepted the leper as her husband and served him with great love. Hearing this, Duni Chand was enraged, he married Rajni to a leper.

But the youngest daughter, Bibi Rajni replied, "It is God that provides for everyone". He had a big ego and one day he asked his daughters, "Tell me who provides you food and shelter?" The elder four daughters readily said that their father was providing them with everything. Bibi Rajni was the daughter Duni Chand Khatri who was a rich landlord of the town of Patti. The habitation was started by Bhai Jetha (the future Guru Ram Das) when Guru Amar Das asked him to establish a new colony of Sikhs.ĭukh Bhanjani Beri is a historic Beri tree in the Sri Harmandir Sahib complex associated with Bibi Rajni Ji. The City of Amritsar (literally "pool of nectar") was originally called Ramdaspur (Guru Ram Das's city) and Chakk Ramdas, or Chakk Guru, or simply Guru Ka Chakk.
