Explanation:

Guru Tegh Bahadur had assured the Brahmans by saying: "We shall be seeing him (the king) after the rainy season." The rainy season was spent by the Guru at Saifabad where the Muslim chief Nawab Saifuddin served the Guru with great reverence and received His blessings. The Emperor was in Agra so the Master Saviour reached Agra instead of going to Delhi.

Guru Tegh Bahadur accompanied by five Sikhs Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Dyal Das, Bhai Sati Das, Bhai Gurditta and Bhai Uda, stayed in a garden in the outskirts of Agra. The Guru, decided to disclose His identity in a novel and undaunted manner. He sent a shepherd boy to the city to fetch some sweets for the party and gave him a diamond ring and a Kashmiri Shawl. The shepherd. on presenting the ring in exchange for the purchases, was suspected ill having stolen these items and was handed over to the police. On his being questioned the boy informed them that he had been sent by a great King staying in the garden. and that he was only a messenger.

The police and military authorities at once knew that it must be Guru Tegh Bahadur as they had the information that He was coming to see the Emperor. Since the Emperor had already left for Delhi, the authorities took charge of the party and they were escorted to Delhi under a strong contingent of 1,700 cavalry men. The shepherd boy received the Guru's blessings and the valuable items.

Another reason for Guru Tegh Bahadur visiting Agra is that an elderly Sikh lady was meditating day and night on the holy Nam and was always seeking the Guru's darshan (audience). She had prepared a hand-spun garment for the Guru and wished that the Guru should come personally and wear the same. As such Guru Tegh Bahadur was bound by the love of the disciple and visited her, received the offering, and blessed her. There now stands Gurdwara Mai Than at this place.

On arrival in Delhi the Guru was kept under house arrest. The house where the Guru was kept was believed to have been haunted and was commonly known as "Bhootan-di-Haveli" (House of Ghosts).*

* The authors were told by the learned Gyanis that the present building of the Majestic Cinema opposite the Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib is the same site where the said haunted haveli stood. It is a pity that the Sikhs did not care to preserve this haveli and many other sites like it.

Guru Tegh Bahadur held three meetings with the Emperor, Aurangzeb. During the course of the discussions and the arguments that ensued in these conferences. Aurangzeb tried to justify his actions to crush the infidels, because according to him the Hindus were destined to be thrown into hell if they did not accept Islam. He pretended to be carrying out this policy on the orders of the God Almighty and was serving as a saviour for these condemned people and further argued that the only way for them to gain admission to the heavens and to avoid hell was to embrace Islam. He advanced the futile argument that only the muslims were believers in God and only they were acceptable to God. The despot who was blinded by power and pride did not realise that he was trying to persuade the Divine Manifest - the very source of Light and Knowledge. Who had already in His First Form as Guru Nanak told his ancestors at Mecca itself that both the Hindus and the Muslims will suffer without good deeds, and the good deeds were based on love and service of the whole mankind.
