Guru Nanak:Jagannath Puri

Guru Nanak Dev JI visited many places during his journey to preach world about GOD's Grace and Greatness. This journey was termed as UDASIS. During his Udasis he also traveled the great temple of ORISSA JAGANNATH PURI located in PURI at bank of BAY OF BENGAL Ocean. When Guru Nanak Dev JI journeyed to PURI they stayed one night in Katak where now Gurdwara Daatan Sahib exist in the bank of Mahanadi.In the bank of river Mahanadi Guru Nanak Dev JI did DATUN(old way of cleaning teeth using neem tree stick). After cleaning teeth Guru JI  buried that stick 2 or so inch in the ground. Now  that stick has taken shape of Big tree. Seeing this Gurdwara was established in the memory of Guru Nanak JI such miracle.

So, Guru Nanak JI then visited JAGANNATH PURI and sung the hymns of great lord God. The hymn was composed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji which he had collected from many places . Now it is added as Aarti in Shri Guru Granth Sahib JI. This great Aarti has become the daily prayer of Sikh which was composed by Guru Nanak DEV JI which was written by Shri Ravidas JI,Shri Sant Sain JI,Shri Sant Kabir JI and Shri Dhana JI.
The major reason for doing this was that Guru Nanak Dev JI saw that Brahmins were doing many rituals, like fire Aarti,breaking coconuts etc. But it was totally ignored that God  gets happy with love and devotion toward God.So for that Guru Nanak JI discarded the ritual and sung the hymn without going with the ritual of brahmins to prove that if GOD like love and devotion then why to waste time on rituals that to some extent are materialistic.
