		<description>Dear all,
Reading this experience I have decided to tell you my story about Baoli Sahib. I usually shun from telling it.
I returned to India from UK in 1978 as Associate Professor in Genetics in Punjab Agricultural University Ludhiana. In 1979-80 I had severe backbone problem. I was told by doctors who diagnosed from X-ray that I had increased space between 7th and 8th vertebra. I got the treatment from Christian Medical Hospital in Ludhiana but with no effect. I also tried desi malish (massage) through experts. Still I was in pain: unable to sleep, sit or walk pain free. So much so it started affecting my thinking and I started getting confused and blurred. 
My wife went to Amritsar to see her parents. She cried before her mother on my conditions that could not let me sleep or sit. Her mother was a Gursikh. She advised my wife to take me to Goindwal Sahib.
On my wife's insistence I decided to go to Goindwal Sahib. I told her I would not be able to do 84 Paths but there would be no harm to visit. Myself, my wife, my son and one colleague reached Goindwal at about 4PM. It was in end of July when it is warm and raining.
When we were walking towards the Gurdwara I was very emotional and intensely praying for Guru's grace. A few hundred yards from the Gurdwara when I was engrossed in the splendor of Guru's place my right foot got entangled in the bars of iron cover on a drain that passed through the road. Nail of my toe got injured and it started bleeding. I had a bit of pain but without any sorrow. Feelings started flowing in me that the Guru is curing me and He has given me this small pain to relieve my bigger pain.

We got a room, and went to the Baoli after Mathatake.  I thought I shall do one Path and have Ishnan as I could not sit and concentrate due to pain. I sat on the first step, finished Japuji and did Ardas and went down to take a dip and then came up. I did another path and continued it till next day early morning without any break. More and more strength came to me after every path and I did not feel any pain. My wife came in-between many times to ask for tea or break for loo. Every time she asked me I nodded her not to disturb because I was having internal bliss that I wanted to carry on.

The next morning at about 630 AM when I completed 84 path on every step of Baoli we went before Guru Granth Sahib and prayed. I also offered to contribute some utensils and a bag of Atta in langar on my second visit after getting healthy.

We travelled back to Ludhiana in a bus. My pains had disappeared. I went to the CMC doctor for another X-ray. The X-ray was faultless. He asked me how I had corrected it? Was it due to exercises he had suggested to me? I replied that I could not have exercised due to pain. I told him the story of my Doctor Guru.

It is now 30 years after I am healthy and with no backbone problem.

If the Guru can cure a serious suffering through prayer then why can he not uplift us from 8.4 m (or more!!) cycles of transmigration?

		<description>DHAN DHAN GURU AMARDASS JI
NIMANNIAH DE MAAN, 
NITANNEAH DE TAAN, 
NIOTAEAHN DEE OAAT,
NIASREAHN DE ASREH.

Dass visited this Baoli Sahib and nearby Gurdwars as well Khadoor sahib Gurdwaras for the First time in 50 years..in November-december 2005. Went through the 84 Japji Sahib Paaths Non Stop. A totally exhilarating mind blowing experience...what with the freezing cold winter temps..the wetness...simply wonderful.
I dont subscribe to the theory that doing the 84 paaths is the sure fire guaranteed way to escape the 84 lakh joons...that would negate the 1430 aangs of SGGS..Sikhi Jeewan, Gurmatt way of life, Rehat, naam japping, simran etc etc. I took this as a spiritual journey..an adventure into the realm i had never gone before..and it was WELL WORTH IT.
To any one contemplating trying it...I would say..Welcome...Try it and see. You will leave a new person...Dhan Dhan guru Amardass ji !!</description>
