The community at Khadur
The yogi and the drought
A yogi blames Guru Ji for a drought and Guru Ji leaves the village until the villagers learn better.
A local tradition reported in the Encyclopaedia says that a yogi came to Khadur during a drought and convinced the farmers that no rain would fall until they drove Guru Ji away. Guru Ji did not argue. He moved to a ruined mound called Khan Rajada, where a gurdwara now stands.
The drought went on. Sri Guru Amar Das Ji, then a disciple, told the farmers to bind the yogi's feet with a rope and pull him round the village, and the story says rain poured down wherever they dragged him. The yogi left in disgrace and Guru Ji came home.
