1512 CE
Gurdwara Nanaksar Sahib, Nanded (8 km across Godavari)
Executive Overview

When Bhai Mardana Ji requested water in the arid wilderness, Guru Nanak Dev Ji asked him to play the Rabab. As the sacred notes resonated, a miraculous spring of sweet water burst forth.

Authentic Historical Chronicle

When Bhai Mardana Ji mentioned the scarcity of drinking water in the dense forest, Guru Nanak Dev Ji instructed: "Play the Rabab!" As Bhai Mardana struck the chords and divine melody resonated, a perennial spring of sweet crystal-clear water burst forth from the earth. Quenching his thirst, Mardana marvelled at its sweetness. Guru Ji blessed: "This is the land of celestial souls; hence this water is blessed with celestial sweetness."
