It is also 40 km from Kichh&#257 railway station on the Bareilly-K&#257&#7789hgod&#257m metregauge section of North-Eastern railway. Here, Gur&#363 N&#257nak had an encounter with the N&#257th Yog&#299s whom he tried to bring to the path of active humanitarian service and to the path of loving remembrance of God's Name. The story is not mentioned in <i>janam s&#257kh&#299s</i>, but a strong tradition has grown that here Gur&#363 N&#257nak miraculously made the normally bitter fruit of a soapnut tree sweet for Bh&#257&#299 Mard&#257n&#257 to feed on. A soapnut tree (not the original one) is still there and pilgrims receive sweet soapnuts as <i>prasad</i>.</p> </ol><p class="CONT">Major Gurmukh Si&#7749gh (Retd.)<br></p><BR> </font><img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""></HTML></BODY>
