Baba
Buddha
ji
(ਬਾਬਾ ਬੁੱਢਾ ਜੀ ) (1506-1631)
or Bhai
Buddha is
recognized
as
one
of
the
great
Sikhs
of
the
Guru
period. Baba
Buddha,
was
born
into
the Randhawa clan.
He
had
the
privilege
of
being
blessed
by
the
first
six
Gurus.
He
led
an
ideal
Sikh
life
for
more
than
a
hundred
years.
He
was
one
of
closest
companions
of
the
guru
Nanak
(the
first
Guru
of
Sikhism)
and
is
one
of
the
most
revered
and
sacred
saints
in
Sikhism.
He
holds
one
of
the
most
important
and
pivotal
positions
in
Sikh
history.
The
first
head
Granthi
of
Sri
Harmandir
Sahib.
Baba
Buddha
ji
was
a
most
venerated
primal
figure
of
early
Sikhism,
was
born
on 6
October
1506 at
the
village
of Katthu
Nangal,
18
km
northeast
of Amritsar. Bura,
as
he
was
originally
named,
was
the
only
son
of
Bhai
Suggha
and
Mai
Gauran.
As
a
small
boy,
he
was
one
day
grazing
cattle
outside
the
village
when
Guru
Nanak
happened
to
pass
by.
According
to
Bhai
Mani
Singh,
Sikhan
di
Bhagat
Mala, Bura went
up
to
him
and,
making
obeisance
with
a
bowl
of
milk
as
his
offering,
prayed
to
him
in
this
manner:
“O
sustainer
of
the
poor!
I
am
fortunate
to
have
had
a
sight
of
you
today.
Absolve
me
now
from
the
circuit
of
birth
and
death.”
The
Guru
said,
You
are
only
a
child
yet.
But
you
talk
so
wisely.”
“some
soldiers
set
up
camp
by
our
village,”
replied
Bura,
“and
they
mowed
down
all
our
crops
–
ripe
as
well
as
unripe.
Then
it
occurred
to
me
that,
when
no
one
could
check
these
indiscriminating
soldiers,
who
would
restrain
Death
from
laying
his
hand
upon
us,
young
or
old.”
At
this
Guru
Nanak
pronounced
the
words:
“You
are
not
a
child;
you
possess
the
wisdom
of
an
old
man.”
From
that
day, Bura,
came
to
be
known
as Bhai
Buddha,
buddha
in
Punjabi
meaning
an
old
man,
and
later,
when
advanced
in
years,
as Baba
Buddha.
