The Golden Temple, located in the city of Amritsar in the
state of Punjab,is a place of great beauty and sublime peacefulness. Originally
a small lake in the midst of a quiet forest, the site has been a meditation
retreat for wandering mendicants and sages since deep antiquity. The Buddha is
known to have spent time at this place in contemplation.Two thousand years
after Buddha's time, another philosopher-saint came to live and meditate by the
peaceful lake. This was Guru Nanak (1469-1539), the founder of the Sikh
religion.
