Guru Hargobind also remarked that even fresh cut wood would burn like dry wood in the langar fire. This karchha is a symbol of veneration for the family. With his own hands Guru Ji made Bhai Roop Chand the masand of the area and put on his forehead the tilak, (saffron mark of leadership) and gave a karchha, a long spoon, asking him to run langar to feed the poor and the needy. Guru Hargobind in recognition of devotion, honoured Roop Chand with the title of 'Bhai' (own brother) and put him in charge of the spiritual welfare of the new region of Malwa and the country south of Sutlej. Guru Hargobind stayed here for 6 months and 9 days helping establish the new village. The wooden pillar still exists and can still be seen at the Gurdwara Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Bhai Rupa. In 1630-31, Guru Hargobind laid the foundation of the village by installing a wooden pillar and named the village 'Bhai Rupa Ka' which is now known as Bhai Rupa. Bhai Rupa and Bhai Sadhu found a nice location and subsquently advised Guru Hargobind. Guru Ji told father and son to establish a new village, at a distance, and name it 'Bhai Rupa'. Bhai Sadhu told Guru Hargobind that the villagers of Tuklani village were jealous of them. The site is now marked by Gurdwara Sri Jand Sahib Kotha Guru.Īfterwards, Guru Hargobind instructed Bhai Rupa to help spread the message of Sikhi. Guru Hargobind was pleased with the devotion of his Sikhs. Bhai Rupa and Bhai Sadhu offered their water to Guru Ji as they had intended and then also drank some. Guru Hargobind revived the fallen Sikhs by sprinkling water on them. Guru Hargobind who was at Daroli Bhai Ki felt something was wrong, Guru Ji immeadiately left and travelled 51 km's to where Bhai Rupa and Bhai Sadhu were unconscious. Unfortunately, after continuing to work Bhai Rupa and Bhai Sadhu were overcome with dehydration and collapsed. Moved with devotion they decide to save the water thinking they would offer it to Guru Hargobind. They found that the water was refreshingly cold. As it was a hot day, after working for some time Bhai Rupa and Bhai Sadhu felt thirsty.īhai Rupa and Bhai Sadhu stopped for a break to drink the water. They took goatskin carrying water which was hung on the branch of a tree. One day Bhai Rupa and Bhai Sadhu went outside the village to do some work. When Bhai Rupa was young he would often help his father Bhai Sadhu work the land. Guru Sahib named the baby as 'Roop Chand' who became Bhai Rupa.
Bhai Sadhu and Bibi Soorti took their son to meet and receive blessings from Guru Hargobind. In 1614, Bibi Soorti gave birth to a son. Baba Akal arranged his daughter's wedding with the grandson of Bhai Sultania Sadey, from village Tuklani, who was named Bhai Sadhu.Īfter the marriage Bibi Soorti took her husband Bhai Sadhu to Daroli Bhai Ki to meet and receive blessings from Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji.
