Visit of Akbar : –
Master Ji reinforced the custom of ‘Master ka Langar’ and made it necessary for the guest to the Guru saying that ‘Pehle Pangat Phir Sangat’ (first visit the Langar at that point go to the Guru). Once the head Akbar came to see Guru Sahib and he needed to eat the coarse rice in the Langar before he could have a meeting with Guru Sahib.

Master Amardas Sahib convinced Akbar to postpone off toll-impose (explorer’s duty) for non-Muslims while crossing Yamuna and Ganga, Akbar did as such. Master Amardas Sahib kept up heartfelt relations with head Akbar.
