  GURDWARA SHRI PAT T HAR SAHIB: The Shrine known as Gurdwara Patthar sahib is situated about 25 kms. Short of Leh town on the Leh -Srinagar road. Built in the ev erlasting memory of Shri Guru Nanak Dev e Ji the great prophet who sanctified the place by his sacred visit during the y ear 1517 while on his second missionary tour (2nd Udassi 1515 -1518). The Guru reached here v ia Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet Y arkand and Leh after hav ing spiritual discourses with the sidhas at Mount Sumer (Central Himalay as). On the hill features across the road, there used to liv e a wicked demon that terrorized the people of the area. Their miseries multiplied day by day. As their miseries becam e unbearable they pray ed for div ine help. It is said that the Great Guru heard their woes and came to their rescue. The Guru settled down on the bank of the riv er flowing nearby . The people sought for help and the Guru blessed the people and became v ery popular in the area. The locals called him as Nanak Lama. The Demon got enraged and started making plans to kill Guru Nanak. One morning, when the Guru was sitting in meditation, he rolled down a big boulder from the hilltop with the aim of killing the Guru. But on the v ery touch of Guru’s body, the solid rock melted like wax and Guru’s back got embedded on it like a cushion. The Guru kept on sitting in meditation undisturbed. Thinking that the Guru must hav e been killed, the demon came down but was taken aback on seeing the Guru in meditation, undisturbed. With a rage of anger he tried to push the rock with his right foot but the rock had already became like wax his foot also got embedded into it. On this , he realized his folly and powerlessness as compared to the spiritual power of the Great Guru. He fell on the feet of Guru and humbly pray ed to be pardoned. The Guru adv ised him to get rid of his wickedness and lead the life of a nobel person, in the serv ice of humanity . This changed the life sty le of
