Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday wished that the Guru Charan Yatra deepens people’s connection with the noble ideals of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji.
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, the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh marking the conclusion of the Yatra.
“I urge people in the areas this yatra will cover to come and have Darshan of the holy ‘Jore Sahib’,” PM Modi said in a post on X, highlighting the significance of the yatra.
The yatra is being led by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, whose family has been the custodian of the sacred relics for over three centuries.
“The holy Jore Sahib ‘Charan Suhawa’ of the founder of Khalsa Panth, Dasam Pita Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and his wife Mata Sahib Kaur Ji have been with our family for more than 300 years,” Puri said.
“Today, I feel humbled that my family will hand over these sacred relics to the Sikh Panth for permanent darshan and reverence,” he added.
The 9-day yatra will cover over 1,500 kilometers, passing through several states, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. The yatra will conclude on November 1 at Takhat Sri Patna Sahib.
