Guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I know this sounds kinda wierd and these nothing to back this up with, but was Guru Gobind Rai really his name before he added Singh? And Plus when did Our Gurus' start giving the Guru ships inside the family? Or am i asking questions that one here seems to know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I didnt really get it anywhere, i was at my Gurus' Names from a poster, and i noticed that after Guru Har Rai Ji the Surnames where not the same? 7. Guru Hai Rai Ji 8. Guru Har Krishan Ji 9. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji 10. Guru Gobing Singh Ji (Or before Amrit Guru Gobind Rai) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_singh Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 The reason to why the Guruship was kept within the family from the third Guru onwards: Daughter of Guru Amar Das Ji, Bibi Bhani would do much seva of Guru Amar Das. One night as Guru Ji was absorbed in deep meditation, she noticed that a part of one leg of his couch was broken off. She got scared that Guru Ji might get disturbed beccause of this broken leg, so Bibi ji put her hand under the broken leg to keep the couch level. Guru Ji awoke from meditation and saw the torture endured by her. Guru Ji was much pleased and invited her to ask a favour. Her request was that the Guruship should remain in the family. Guru jis reply to this was, "Thine offspring shall be worshipped by the world. From the offspring of thy womb shall be born a universal saviour; but thou has damned the clear flowing stream of Guruship, and consequently great trouble and annoyance shall result". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 RupZ - "Bahadur" is not a surname (well in some cases it is) it is a suffix or title which means "Brave". Im sure many people have adopted 'Bahadur' in their family names just like people have adopted the suffix "Chaudhary", "Shah" and for Sikhs - "Singh". Hope that answered your question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
