Historical Gurdwaras of Punjab Guru Arjan Dev

Guru Arjan Dev spent a year here at the side of a pool with shady trees along with his scribe Bhai Gurdas and compiled the first copy of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in 1604. Guru Arjan Dev not only included his own compositions but those of the previous four Gurus as well as the writings of Hindu and Muslim saints. There is no holy book like Sri Guru Granth Sahib, that includes the writings of people of other faiths, and which was written in the founding Gurus own writing. Upon completion the Sacred Volume was then installed in the Golden Temple by Guru Arjan Dev with Baba Buddha appointed it’s first Granthi (caretaker).
