ਭਾਂਤਿਭਾਂਤਿਕੇਤੀਰਥਿਨਾਨਾ

What exactly does Guru Gobind Singh Ji mean by ਭਾਂਤਿਭਾਂਤਿਕੇਤੀਰਥਿਨਾਨਾ in this Shabad?

According to Daas's meager understanding Dhan Sri Guru Teg Bahaadar Jee Maharaaj traveled through different places where they have given Updesh to Sangat. Sri Dasmesh Jee call those places as Teerths. Also It is very possible that when Guru Tegh Bahaadar Jee went to east, on their way they must have passed through various so-called Teeraths (Sri Dasmesh Jee call them ਭਾਂਤਿ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਕੇ ਤੀਰਥਿ) to do Lok-Sudhaar, same as Guru Sahib Jee did in first Sareerak-Jaama.

Some people does the meaning of this tuk as 'Took bath at various Teeraths', which doesn't seems to be correct as per Gurmat. Rhyming word 'Naana' doesn't necessarily means 'Ishnaana'.

Rest Guru Sahib Knows.

Great answer! It is more akin to ਅੰਤਰਗਤਿਤੀਰਥਿਮਲਿਨਾਉ rather than what most would think when hearing the word Teerath.
Can you expand a bit on Sareerak-Jaama? I'm not sure exactly what that is.

Jasjit singh ji has answered correctly. Guru sahibans were going to pilgrimage centers of people who thought that mere visit to
such centers for ritual bath will deliver salvation.

Guru Nanak dev ji visited Puri, Hardwar etc. to tell people that only rituals without nam simran is not going to help. Same way
Guru Teg Bahadar ji while on preaching tours visited such center of Hinduism. Purpose was not to take ritual bath there but to preach.

Guru Gobind singh ji elsewhere in his bani in Dasam Granth has condemned such empty rituals.

ਕੇਤੇ ਸੂਰ ਚੰਦ ਕਹੁ ਮਾਨੈ ॥ ਅਗਨਿ ਹੋਤ੍ਰ ਕਈ ਪਵਨ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਨੈ ॥੧੦॥
केते सूर चंद कहु मानै ॥ अगनि होत्र कई पवन प्रमानै ॥१०॥
Several people worshipped the sun and the moon and several others worshipped Fire and Ait.10.

ਕਿਨਹੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਹਨ ਪਹਿਚਾਨਾ ॥ ਨ੍ਹਾਤ ਕਿਤੇ ਜਲ ਕਰਤ ਬਿਧਾਨਾ ॥
किनहूं प्रभु पाहन पहिचाना ॥ न्हात किते जल करत बिधाना ॥
Several them considered God as stone and several others bathed considering the Lordship of Water.

ਕੇਤਕ ਕਰਮ ਕਰਤ ਡਰਪਾਨਾ ॥ ਧਰਮ ਰਾਜ ਕੋ ਧਰਮ ਪਛਾਨਾ ॥੧੧॥
केतक करम करत डरपाना ॥ धरम राज को धरम पछाना ॥११॥
Considering Dharmaraja as the Supreme representative of Dharma, several bore fear of him in their actions. 11.

ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਸਾਖ ਨਮਿਤ ਠਹਿਰਾਏ ॥ ਤੇ ਹਿਆਂ ਆਇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਕਹਵਾਏ ॥
जो प्रभ साख नमित ठहिराए ॥ ते हिआं आइ प्रभू कहवाए ॥
All those whom God established for the revelation of His Supremacy, they themselves were called Supreme.

Bachittar Natak, Sri Dasam Granth sahib

First Sareerak-Jaama (Body) meant to be Pehli Patshaahi Sri Guru Nanak Dev Jee.

Guru-Jot is always alive and present, it just changed bodies from first Nanak to tenth to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee. When referring to Guru Nanak Dev Jee, sometimes we use term Pehla (first) Sareerak-Jaama (body).
