Dohita Bani Ka Bohita

Guru Arjan was born in Goindwal, a small town in Amritsar district, in 1563. He was the youngest son of Guru Ram Dasji and Bibi Bhaniji And the grandson of Guru Amardasji.

Guru Arjan Devji always showed love towards gurbani. Guruji wrote Sukhmani Sahib, Barah Maha, Bavan Akhri & 2312 Shabads in all the 30 Rags of Adi Granth Sahib.

As a child, one day he found his way to the bed of Guru Amar Das who was then resting. His mother ran to fetch the child before he could disturb the Guru, but he had already awakened the Guru, who revealed, “Let him come to me; ‘ Dohita Bani Ka Bohita’- this grandson of mine shall be the Boat of Gurbani and a ship to take mankind across the ocean of the world.”
