Guru Ladho Re! | How Makhan Shah Found Guru Teg Bahadur Ji |

Guru Teg Bahadur Ji and Makhan Shah – Guru Ladho Re Welcome back to Sikhism Official. In this video, we share the inspiring story of how Makhan Shah discovered the true Ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, in Baba Bakala. After the passing of Guru Har Krishan Ji, his final words were “Baba Bakala,” indicating that the next Guru could be found in Bakala. However, 22 different people claimed to be the Ninth Guru, creating confusion among the Sikh community. Then came Makhan Shah, a Sikh merchant who had once prayed to Guru Nanak Dev Ji during a dangerous storm at sea. He had promised to offer 500 gold coins if his ship and everyone aboard were saved. When he arrived in Bakala, Makhan Shah decided to test those claiming to be the Guru. He offered five gold coins to each person. But when he met Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, something extraordinary happened. Guru Teg Bahadur Ji reminded him of the 500 gold coins he had promised during the storm. Makhan Shah immediately realised that he had found the true Guru. He ran outside and shouted: “Guru Ladho Re! Guru Ladho Re!” Meaning: “I have found the Guru! I have found the Guru!” This beautiful story highlights faith, devotion, and the spiritual connection between the Guru and the Sikh. Watch the complete story to learn how Guru Teg Bahadur Ji was identified as the Ninth Sikh Guru. 🙏 If you enjoyed this story, please Like, Share, and Subscribe to Sikhism Official for more stories from Sikh history and the lives of the Ten Sikh Gurus. #GuruTegBahadur #MakhanShah #GuruLadhoRe #Sikhism #SikhHistory #GuruNanak #SikhGuru #BabaBakala #SikhismOfficial
