What is Akal Takht?
Sukhbir Singh Badal News : Akal Takht is one of the five sacred places of pilgrimage in the Sikh religion. Akal Takht is renowned as the Golden Temple at Amritsar, visited by thousands of pilgrims daily from across the globe. It has attained the name of golden temple because of its construction from gold. The walls of it are constructed from gold. Golden Temple has also attracted a lot of tourism for the country. Other than the Golden Temple at Amritsar, there are other four sacred places in Sikh religion located at Nanded (Maharashtra), Patna (Bihar), Anandpur Sahib (Punjab), and Talwandi Sabo (Punjab).
Despite a lot of people coming daily at Golden Temple, Amritsar, yet they are unaware about the fact that visiting places of pilgrimage holds no importance in the path that goes to salvation. As told by Shri Nanak Dev ji in Holy Guru Granth Sahib, the path to salvation is unique and only attained by taking Naam Diksha (Initiation) from a Complete Saint.
Seek the refuge of a Complete Saint
Shri Nanak Dev ji himself took the refuge of Kabir Saheb after witnessing Him in Satlok (eternal abode) as the overall creator of the entire universe. In the same way, Kabir Saheb descends Himself in the cover of a Complete Saint every now and then. Presently, Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is His current manifestation as His Complete Saint.
He is providing us the same way of worship Shri Nanak Dev Ji used to follow. For more information about the path of true worship and mantras chanted by Shri Nanak Dev ji, visit www.jagatgururampalji.org or watch His spiritual sermons at ‘Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’ YouTube channel.
