even during the darkest times of oppression.

When a cobra snake came out of the bushes and spread its hood over Guru Ji’s head, the rays of the sun were obstructed by the snake’s hood so that Guru Ji could take his undisturbed rest.
The Narwali Incident
This miracle was witnessed by the Narwal of Talwandi Rai Bhoi. Narwal became a firm devotee of Guru Ji and later donated 750 Murabba of land, in the name of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This Thala (place) came to be known as Gurdwara Mal Ji Sahib.
Today, Gurdwara Malji Sahib remains a powerful reminder of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s message of truthful conduct,
selfless service, and unwavering belief in the Divine.
