THE HOLIEST MAN OF THE AGE IN UNDIVIDED INDIA
The New Indian Express
|September 23, 2024
THE only time I went to Pakistan was for the first-ever SAARC lit fest to be held there 20 years ago.
We crossed the border on foot at Wagah and drove to Lahore. The Dawn newspaper got in touch as I was from the media and hospitably asked if there was anything special I wanted to see or do in Lahore.
I wanted to pay my respects at the shrine of Sufi saint Mian Mir (15501635). He was apparently a direct descendant of an Arab caliph and belonged to the Qadiri order of Sufism.
He migrated to and settled in Lahore at the age of 25. Legend says Mian Mir was invited by Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru, to lay the foundation stone of no less than the Golden Temple at Amritsar. Guru Arjan Dev apparently asked him because it was foretold that the holiest man of the age would lay the neev or foundation of the temple. Since Guru Arjan Dev considered Mian Mir to be that person in then undivided Punjab, he invited him to do the honours and the Sufi agreed.
