From here Guru Ji traveled and crossed the river Bhagirathi Ganga and came to Murshidabad. Many people call it Maqsudabad. This town is famous for silken cloth. It is a big town and was once a capital.
Guru Ji stayed here for some days. Many people started treading on the true religious path of 'Recitation of the Lord's name with love'. People became pious and Lord loving.
One person who got dyed in the Lord's love most was an in-setter of jewels, whose name was Sooja. This person was honest in his earning. He was God-fearing. But he did not get peace of mind anywhere. When he met Guru Ji, he got attracted. Then, he would come everyday to have Guru Ji's glimpse and listen to the divine songs. His love for Guru Ji and Lord's name increased so much that, all the time, he was in recitation of the Lord's name. The Lord's name settled in his mind and body, he got immersed in the Lord's love and got ecstasy. The love of Guru Ji got deep in his mind and his inner mind got into writing poetry. He wrote verses in praise of Guru Ji.
Sooja became known as Saint Sooja and he guided the holy congregation formed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji here. A gurdwara exists here.
