Sikhism - Culture - Gurmat Veechar

Mata Jeeto ji breathed her last in 1700 A.D. at Anand Pur Sahib
and an 'Angeetha' stands there in her memory.
But it may once again be mentioned that there is no concrete
evidence other than the Angeetha Sahib that shows that Mata Jeeto Ji
was a separate entity, other than Mata Sundri. Another incident
mentioned by Principal Satbir Singh indirectly but clearly shows that
Guru Sahib was having only one wife. He has mentioned that once in
1691 during the Vaisakhi celebrations, Rani Padma ofChamba came to
have his glimpse 'Darshan' and blessings. Guru Ji as usual and as per
his practice blessed her with the touch ofhis arrow. She requested and
stressed, as she was her 'devout', he should bless her with his benign
hands. Guru Ji replied that he had never touched any woman other than
his 'wife', with his hands. (Purakh Bhagwant ,-Page 114). This
incident whereas on the one hand show the exemplary character of
Dasmesh, also signifies that he used the word 'Dharam Patni', wife
and not wives. Thus it is not difficult to conclude that he was having
only one wife. Yet in view of one or two facts mentioned above, the
matter requires some further research.
