Joti jot means the day Guru Gobind Singh ji left his heavenly abode in 1708, at  Hazur Sahib(Nanded) Maharashtra India.

Guru Gobind Singh opened the Granth Sahib, placed five paise and solemnly bowed to it as his successor. Saying ‘Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh’. Guru Ji walked around the Guru Granth Sahib Ji & proclaimed,

“O beloved Khalsa, let him who desire to behold me, behold the Guru Granth. Obey the Granth Sahib. It is the visible body of the Gurus. And let him who desires to meet me, search me in the hymns.”

He sang his self-composed hymn:
“Agya bhai Akal ki tabhi chalayo Panth Sabh Sikhan ko hukam hai Guru manyo Granth Guru Granth Ji manyo pargat Guran ki deh Jo Prabhu ko milbo chahe khoj shabad mein le Raj karega Khalsa aqi rahei na koe Khwar hoe sabh milange bache sharan jo hoe.”

“Under orders of the Immortal Being, the Panth was created. All the Sikhs are enjoined to accept the Granth as their Guru. Consider the Guru Granth as embodiment of the Gurus. Those who want to meet God, can find Him in its hymns.

The Khalsa shall rule, and its opponents will be no more, Those separated will unite and all the devotees shall be saved.”

The Guru then left for his heavenly abode. The Sikhs made preparations for his final rites as he had instructed them, the Sohila was chanted and Parsahd (sacred food) was distributed.

While all were mourning the loss, a Sikh arrived and said,” You suppose that the Guru is dead. I met him this very morning riding his bay horse. horse. After bowing to him, I asked where he was going. He smiled and replied that he was going to the forest.”

The Sikhs who heard this statement arrived at the conclusion that it was all the Guru’s play, that he dwelt in uninterrupted bliss, that he showed himself wherever he was remembered.

He who treasures even a grain of the Lord’s love in his heart, is the blessed one and the Guru reveals himself to such a devotee in mysterious ways.

Wherefore for such a Guru who had departed bodily to Heaven, there ought to be no mourning. The Word as contained in the Guru Granth Sahib was henceforth, and for all time to come to be the Guru for the Sikhs.

These two pathans Jamshed Khan and Wasil Beg are the names given in the Guru Kian Sakhian pursued the Guru secretly and overtook him at Nanded, where, according to Sri Gur Sobha by Senapati,

a contemporary writer, one of them stabbed the Guru in the left side below the heart as he lay one evening in his chamber resting after the Rahras prayer.

Before he could deal another blow, Guru Gobind Singh struck him down with his sabre, while his fleeing companion fell under the swords of Sikhs who had rushed in on hearing the noise. As the news reached Bahadar Shah’s camp, he sent expert surgeons, to attend to the Guru.

The Guru’s wound was immediately stitched by the Emperor’s European surgeon and within a few days it appeared to have been healed. The injury had been contained and the Guru had made a good recovery.

Some Karigars from Hyderabad(Silkigars) came to guru sahib and gave shastars to guru ji and guru ji gave them return gift. There were many bows whoose strings were very difficult to tugged. On Deepmala Rich people of Nanded came to guru ji With Karah Parshaad.

Guru ji was with his arms on his bed. After watching all this one said that who tugs the bow these days? Other said “Are these weapons just for showoff?”. One requested to Tug the arrow and make his fullfill true. Guru Ji was not fully improved.

but to fulfill his wish, when the Guru tugged at a hard strong bow, the imperfectly healed wound burst open and caused profuse bleeding. All were stunned to see that.

But it was clear guru sahib time had come & thus arrangements for funeral pyre were made as sangat gathered on hearing the news. Angeetha Sahib is where his cremation took place and that is Takht Hazur Sahib, Nanded, Maharashtra.
