Hazur sahib - the Stabbing of Guru incident & About Angitha Sahib
Guru Gobind singh ji was stabbed by one Gul Khan, who was brought up by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Gul Khan was killed by Guruji's single reflex stroke. However the wound of Guru ji was very deep but miraculaously it was healed in the with proper care. But the wound reopened, When one of the Sikhs requested Guruji to tie the rope of a bow as his blessings. This time knowing it to be a call from 'Waheguru' Guru Ji didn't allowed to treat his wound.
One fine evening Guru Ji ordered Sikhs to prepare 'Angitha Sahib' for his light to rejoin Creator's light. Before that Sikhs built a room over the platform where Guru Gobind Singh would sit while holding his court and installed the Guru Granth Sahib on it. It was called Takhat Sahib. Guru Gobind Singh, while conferring Guruship on the holy Book, had himself named Nanded as "Abchalnagar" (literally "Steadfast city") after the first word of a hymn read at random on the occasion.
