Gurdwara Baba Bakala Sahib is situated in the Baba Bakala town in Distt Amritsar.

Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji mentioned “Baba Bakale” which the Sikhs at the time interpreted as meaning that the Guru’s successor was to be found at the town of Bakala, close to Amritsar.

On other side Bhai Makhan Shah Lubana, a banjara trader from Jhelum district was on his ship which was loaded with goods and was caught in storm, He prayed to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, for rescue and promised that he would pay 500 dinars to GURU SAHIB for charity.

With the grace of Akal Purakh, he safely landed to the port and as per his promise he came to Baba Bakala for donating the amount.

But reaching here he found several imposers posing them self as GURUS. He decided to offer 2 dinars to each of them. None of them questioned him about the promised amount.

But when he placed two dinars in front of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, GURU SAHIB said bhai sahib u had promised to pay 500 dinars and now you are paying only 2.

Listening to this, Bhai Makhan Singh climbed up to the roof and start whooping “GURU LADO RE, GURU LADO RE”.

Makhan Shah Lubana was the first to meet Sri Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji and enchanted the phrase “Baba Bakale”.
