GURDWARA SHRI PATTHAR SAHIB: The
Shrine known as Gurdwara Patthar sahib is situated about 25 kms. Short of Leh
town on the Leh-Srinagar road. Built in the everlasting memory of Shri Guru
Nanak Deve Ji the great prophet who sanctified the place by his sacred visit
during the year 1517 while on his second missionary tour (2nd Udassi
1515-1518). The Guru reached here via Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet Yarkand and Leh
after having spiritual discourses with the sidhas at Mount Sumer (Central
Himalayas). On the hill features across the road, there used to live a wicked
demon that terrorized the people of the area. Their miseries multiplied day by
day. As their miseries became unbearable they prayed for divine help. It is
said that the Great Guru heard their woes and came to their rescue. The Guru
settled down on the bank of the river flowing nearby. The people sought for
help and the Guru blessed the people and became very popular in the area. The
locals called him as Nanak Lama. The Demon got enraged and started making plans
to kill Guru Nanak. One morning, when the Guru was sitting in meditation, he
rolled down a big boulder from the hilltop with the aim of killing the Guru.
But on the very touch of Guru’s body, the solid rock melted like wax and Guru’s
back got embedded on it like a cushion. The Guru kept on sitting in meditation
undisturbed. Thinking that the Guru must have been killed, the demon came down
but was taken aback on seeing the Guru in meditation, undisturbed. With a rage
of anger he tried to push the rock with his right foot but the rock had already
became like wax his foot also got embedded into it. On this , he realized his
folly and powerlessness as compared to the spiritual power of the Great Guru.
He fell on the feet of Guru and humbly prayed to be pardoned. The Guru advised
him to get rid of his wickedness and lead the life of a nobel person, in the
service of humanity. This changed the life style of demon and he started
serving the people. The Guru there after continued his Holy journey towards
Srinagar and Kashmir via Kargil.
The boulder having imprint of the Guru’s back is lying in the
