Guru Angad Dev Ji and Tapa

A monk known as Tapa lived in Khadur. He was worshipped by some of the local villagers. Tapa was jealous of Guru Angad Dev Ji, the second Guru of Sikhs. He contended reverence shown to Guru by the people. He wanted to be considered as great as the Guru, so he looked forward for an opportunity to disgrace the Guru and earn some recognition for himself. One year there were no monsoons and as a result there was a drought in the land. Tapa started telling people that the drought was due to the presence of Guru Angad in the town. He said, “If you expel the Guru, I will bring rain within twenty-four hours." Some people then started asking Guru Angad to leave the town. Ultimately the Guru left the town and went seven villages away from Khadur where Tapa had no influence.

When Baba Amar Das, arrived in Khadur next morning, he found the Guru's house empty. On inquiry the people narrated the whole story to Baba Amar Das. In the meantime Tapa failed to bring any rain. Upon this Baba Amar Das told people what a tyranny they have committed. They expelled the true Guru and followed a fake monk Tapa. The people began to realize their blunder. They went to Guru Angad and asked him to come back to the town. After several apologies, Guru agreed to come back. The day Guru Angad set foot in the town it rained heavily.
