Places in Amritsar where Shri Babaji Maharaj had resided.

Above is an old photo from around 1920 which shown the Amritsar Bazar area near the Golden Temple. from the times of Babaji Maharaj. Shri Babaji Maharaj and Shri Nathji used to stay and frequent the Amritsar Bazaar area in the walled city.  Bellow are the names and photos of four areas in  Amritsar were Babaji Maharaj used to stay –

He first stayed with Lala Gokul Chand Kapoor, a Cloth Merchant, in the bazaar. The Bazaar is located in the walled city close to the golden temple. A satellite photo and an actual photograph of the Bazar is given.

Later he stayed at a house at Ramtalaayi. Ram Talayi is a Temple complex which includes a temple of Lord Ram and a holy pond. There residential area around the temple complex is also called Ramtaayi. Photos of the Temple complex and the Holy pond are given along with the satellite photo were we can see the pond.

Then Babiji Maharaj shifted to Namak Mandi. This place has changes, from how it looked from the days of Babji Maharaj. It is no longer a trading market for Salt as it used to be. I have given the photograph of Namak Mandi Chock and also a satellite photo of the area.

Later Babji Maharaj. went on to live with Lala Kaahan Chand Saheb Maheshwari who lived near the Jaure Peepal area. Lala Kaahan Chand was in great worldly difficulties at the time, and it was only the sustaining spiritual power of Shri Babaji Bhagwan that kept him at peace while these difficulties lasted, and then took him out of this difficult phase of life with ease. The flame of faith was kindled in the heart of Kaahan Chand. While the troubles had lasted, it was as if he had been walking in the hot sun, but Shri Babaji Bhagwan had placed a protecting umbrella over his head. Jaure Peepal area is named after an old Peepal tree which still stands today. Very few old timers of Amritsar only knew of this place. It is located near the famous Hindu Sabha College. The Hindu Sabha College, Amritsar was founded in 1924 and this old building is still preserved in its original condition. The Jaure Peepal is located in the maze of small lanes in this old part of the city near the college. My relative Dr. Sandeep Sharma did the research on the place and provided the photo of that exact Peepal tree, near the house of Lala Kaahan Chand. The photograph of the College and the satellite photo of the area is also given were we can also see the Golden temple.
