What happened hereਇੱਥੇ ਕੀ ਹੋਇਆ
Seeing pilgrims throw Ganga water east towards the rising sun for their ancestors, Guru Nanak began throwing water west. Asked why, Guru Ji said they were watering their fields in Punjab; if their water could not reach a few hundred miles, how could theirs reach the dead? The story is a pointed critique of empty ritual.
