About Harimander Sahib

In the physical entity of Sri Guru Arjan Dev jees temple, he discovered its spiritual being. What he designed and built was not hence a building structure but rather an idea transformed into a visible form. It cold be quite an easy feat of masonry to construct a strong, solid, rock-like podium with a towering height and create the temple on its base. Sri Guru Arjan Dev jee thought differently. He carried the structure of his temple deep into the water, placed its floor along the tank's water level and raised it into the sky to whatever height. His temple, like Him, like baba Nanak's Karta Purukh, whose manifestation the temple was, pervaded all three worlds, this world, the world below and the world above. Placed on a rock, or a rock-like solid base, his temple would not have roots in the world below. And, placed on a towering high plinth, it would have lost the touch of this world. His temple was much a part of the water, the earth and the sky.

The Harimandar Sahib or Sri Darbar Sahib also known as the Golden Temple is a vivid sign of the Sikh spiritual heritage. The temple situated in the water tank, its spiritual surroundings and melodious music have been a source of inspiration to the devotees visiting this shrine ever since its inception.
