What really happened on baisakhi of 1699 at Sri Keshgarh Sahib


Waheguru ji ka khalsa,
Waheguru Ji ki fateh

"We people every thing about our religion but there are still some misconceptions which will have to be removed"
This is the Aurangzeb's spy last report wihle watching Guru Gobind Singh Ji in Anandpur Sahib 

" This article was printed in Chardi kala in April 1998, NewYork. Bhai jagir Singh Mast a famous Poet (KAVISHAR) met me at that time. At that time he Read that Article. He told me about that article, that ' Sant Kartar Singh Bhindranwala' sent him (Bhai Jagir Singh Mast) to Aligarh Muslim University, to get the detailed Information about this article. From that place i found a book of Abdullah Turrani. I've already read about that as written in the book. I requested the administrartors to give me a xerox copy of that book, but unfortunately they didn't "
S. Charan Singh Bhorchi

While going towards Batala nearly about 1.5 miles  from Gurdaspur there is a village named as pind Qila Tek Singh there lived a man named as Boota Singh. He was both a farmer and a physician. He  was a true and practising Sikh, a scholar of Sikh religion and an exponent of Hymns of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. He was about 70 years old, From his library, I found a book, whose first and last three pages were missing. It was written in Urdu by a historian named as Abu Ulla Turrani, who was first a brahmin and then later converted to Islam. He was an Agent of Emperor Aurangzeb and was posted by him in the court of Guru Gobind Singh ji to smuggle out news about the Guru in the garb (disguise) of a brahmin, wearing the brahmin forehead mark (Tilak), a Cotton Dhoti ( 1.5 - 2 m long sheet of cotton ) and a sacred Thread (Janeau).
He would send the daily reports to emperor Aurangzeb. He lived with the Guru's Gardner named Gualaba every day he would go to the Guru and pay his respects. The Tenth Master who with his divine instict, knew Abu tarani's identity, would smile and accept his obeisance. Bhai Vir Singh also mention the name of Abu Tarani in his book " Dashmesh Chamatkar".
Abu Ulla Tarani worked as the Empereor' s spy in the guru's court and for about two years. In the book, mentioned above, he has recorded an eye witness account of the baisakhi of 1699.
On this day, the Guru prepared a new nectar ( aab-e-hayat), there were about 35-40 thousand people present in the gathering to hear the Guru. The Mughals at that time had four thrones: Delhi, Agra, lahore and Klanaur; but the throne of the guru ( at Anandpur Sahib) had its own typical glamour. This throne beat all the Mughal thrones in their splendour. That day the Guru wore a georgeous dress. He came into the court, unsheated his sword and in a loud voice said," I need one head", without any hesitastion one Daya Ram came forward and offering himself for the sacrifice. The Guru, in front of the whole congregation, struct Daya Ram's head with his sword and severed it from his body. The audience was stunned and speechless. The Guru said again " I need another head", immidiately, Dharam Chand stood up and bowed to the Guru. The Guru Severed his head too in one stroke. The audience panicked and started leaving the court. The Guru asked for another head and one after another beheaded three more devotees, Himmat Rai, Moukam Chand, and Sahib Chand. Many people went to Guru's Mother and narrated to her the whole story(episode). The Guru then cleaned and washed the five corpses and their severed heads. He also cleaned the floor so that no mark of blood was left anywhere. Then the prophet of the infidels stitched the severed heads with one and other ( like A is palced instead of B and vice versa ) heads and bodies are covered them with white sheets. He called for a big stone and put it on a steel bowl which had no handles. He poured water in bowl and started churning into nectar with the sword and recited some holy words. This went for about half an hour. At that time a woman, perhapsrelated to prohet came forward and put something in the bowl. now the nectar was ready.
The Guru, then sat towards the heads of the corpses. He uncoveredtheir faces and first put some nectar in Daya Ram's mouth and sprinkled it on his headand then all over his body and said," Say : Waheguru ji Ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh (Khalsa belongs to god and God is always victorious)." Immidiately Daya Ram became alive. Stood up and and repeated the words after the Guru. The whole congregation went pale with fear. Despite many thousand people present no one could breathe loudly. They all had frozen under the spell of Guru's miracle. He then sprinkled the nectar on the other four corpsus and asked them to say,"Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. They all came back to life and stood before Guru with folded hands. The Guru then took all the five in to an adjoiniong marquee. After a while they came dressed in new clothes. the Guru asked them to give a drink of the that nectar to him. They asked him (Guru) what he would pay for the nectar. The Guru said " I promise that I will sacrifice my parents, my children, and all that possess for the well beingof my people and the country." Then the five ( beloved ones ) ofered nectar to the Guru and the Guru became Guru Gobind Singh and other five were also named as: 
Daya Singh
Dharam Singh
Himmat Singh
Moukam Singh
Sahib Singh
and were called as  panj payare ( five beloved ones ) "

Abu Ullah Tarani writes that after watching all those miraclous happenings he wept and cried. he cursed hmself for his treachery to the Guru. He then saw many thousand more begging the Guru for the nectar. He too could not control himself and like the force of kthe magnet he felt pulled towards the Guru and begged him for a drop of nectar. The Guru platted him on the back , sprinkled nectar on his body and changed his name Ajmer Singh and all his sins were washed away. He then joined the Guru's Army and fought many battles against injustice.
on that day he sent his last report to the Emperor. he wrote to him everything that he had seen and witnessed and warned him not to quarrel with Guru, whoin his opinion, was Allah himself. He also wrote that if the Emperor would not accept his plea then his empire would collapse and his name would be rubbed from the pages of the history.
According to Giani Dalip Singh of Komal Dhnaula a copy of this book was found in the library of Aligarh Muslim University.

I humbly request to all the sikh scholars to please get that book reprinted so that all the fact  came forward, so that our new generation would know what happened at the baisakhi of 1699.
