Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday urged people to have darshan of the sacred ‘Jore Sahib’ during the Guru Charan Yatra, from New Delhi to Bihar’s Patna Sahib Gurudwara, which will commence on October 23.
Measuring 11” by 3½” for the right foot of Guru Gobind Singh and 9” by 3” for the left foot of Mata Sahib Kaur, the holy relics were formally handed over to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri’s family, who has been the custodian for three centuries.
In a post on X, PM Modi said, “May the Guru Charan Yatra deepen our connect with the noble ideals of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. I urge people in the areas this yatra will cover to come and have Darshan of the holy ‘Jore Sahib’.”
Puri, in a post on X, said, “I feel humbled that my family will hand over the custody of the holy relics to Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee…”
“The holy Jore Sahib will then be taken in Guru Charan Yatra and will be permanently placed at the birthplace of Dasam Pita in Takht Sri Patna Sahib where the devout will be able to pay their obedience and perform Darshan,” he said.
Sharing the Yatra details, Puri said, “The Guru Charan Yatra will begin on October 23 from Gurdwara Moti Bagh and reach Faridabad by night. On October 24, it will travel from Faridabad to Agra; on the 25th to Bareilly; on the 26th to Mahangapur; on the 27th to Lucknow; on the 28th to Kanpur; on the 29th to Prayagraj; on the 30th it will proceed through Varanasi to Sasaram; on the 31st, it will reach Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh, Patna Sahib; and on the morning of November 1, it will arrive at Takht Sri Patna Sahib, marking the conclusion of the Yatra.”
