Joti jot of Guru Gobind Singh Ji (formal) or in other words you can say Guru Gobind Singh Ji left his heavenly abode in 1708, at Abchal Nagar Hazur Sahib (Nanded). In physical death we get the died body even after creation we get ashes but nothing was there in this case.
Plan of Killing Guru Sahib Ji
Nawab Wazir Khan of Sirhind had felt concerned at the Emperor’s conciliatory treatment of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Their marching together to the South made him jealous, and he ordered two of his trusted men with murdering the Guru before his increasing friendship with the Emperor resulted in any harm to him.
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 Rehras prayer. Before he could deal another blow, Guru Gobind Singh Ji struck him down with his sword, 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.
Tugged the Bow
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.
They began to tie bandages to top blood. It was again treated, but it was now clear to the Guru that the call of the Father from Heaven had come. He prepared the sangat for his departure; instruction were given to the immediate main Sewadars and finally he gave his last and enduring message of his mission to the assembly of the Khalsa.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
He then opened the Granth Sahib Ji, placed five paise and solemnly bowed to it as his successor. Saying ‘Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh’, he walked around the Guru Granth Sahib Ji and proclaimed, “O beloved Khalsa, let him who desireth to behold me, behold the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Obey the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It is the visible body of the Gurus. And let him who desires to meet me, search me in the hymns.”
He then sang his self-composed hymn: “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 Sahib Ji 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.”
On that Day langar was served as Gurgaddi was transferred, Different varities of food was served
Setting His Own Pyre
Angeetha Sahib in Hazur Sahib
Guru Ji then spent money to set his on pyre (Angeetha). Bhai Daya Singh, Bhai Dharam Singh, Bhai Santokh Singh and Bhai Himmat Singh collected Sandal Woods and make pyre. Then they covered that area with walls. Guru Ji said that after setting fire to his pyre no one is supposed to open Angeetha Sahib. No one was suppose to see in Angitha Sahib. No one is suppose to make any Samadh after his death.
After That
On Next morning, people from all over came to watch Guru Ji as on that day Guru sahib was leaving his heavenly abode. People of every class came for darshan of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. It was a huge crowd, Guru Sahib gave darshan to all in his roop.
Then Guru Sahib started going toward his pyre. People started crying, all weep out loud. Guru Ji stopped and said

Checking Angitha
