Our Historica{Gurudfiams, Gurdwaras<br />

~~, qJCJlPH,~<br />

GENERAL<br />

Below are given a few ofthe Gurdwaras, those speak ofour origin,<br />

our past, our heritage etc. If we intend to know something about our<br />

Gurus, our ancient Sikhs - Guru Piyaaras, our selves, our identity and<br />

our principles we are supposed to have some information about these<br />

historical and holy places. Although I am not mentioning the same<br />

from pilgrimage point ofview, as several modern scholars often object<br />

by saying that pilgrimage centers have virtually no importance in our<br />

religion, yet, I hold the opinion and no body shall differ on this point<br />

that, we must be aware of our past, our Gurus and other Gur Sikh<br />

heroes, who laid down their lives and established other land marks<br />

those shall remain as guiding stars for us for the times to come.<br />
