shastarSingh Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 https://www.discoversikhism.com/sikh_gurdwaras/gurdwara_sri_datun_sahib.html At the time of the Guru's visit the high desert had no trees as only small shrubs and bushes would grow at the high, arid altitude, but Guru Nanak blessed the city with greenery by planting a meswak tree. Today the Guru's sapling has grown to be the biggest tree in the city. The notice board at the site of the tree mentions; "Sacred Tree" known as "Datun (Miswak) Sahib" is everlasting memory of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji (Rimpoche Lama) the great prophet who sanctified this place during his sacred visit during the year 1517 while on his second missionary tour (2nd udassi 1515-1518). He put this datun (miswak) here which became a huge tree in Ladakh area where there was no tree at that time. This sacred tree is well known among our Muslim and Buddhist brethren for its sacredness. The aim of Guru Ji was to establish greenery in the highest desert of the world as well as in the hearts of human beings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
