@sikhs2inspire: Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 👊🏾 Baba Buddha Ji (often searched or phonetically mis-typed as "baba buddy singh ji") was one of the most venerated and pivotal figures in early Sikh history. Born as Bura in 1506, he was a contemporary of the first seven human Sikh Gurus and lived for an extraordinary 124 or 125 years until his death in 1631.How He Got His NameAs a young boy grazing cattle, Bura met Guru Nanak Dev Ji (the founder of Sikhism). He served the Guru fresh milk and spoke deeply about his fears of death and spiritual liberation. Surprised by such profound spiritual maturity in a child, Guru Nanak remarked that though he was young in age, he possessed the wisdom of an old man (a "Buddha" or "Budha"). From that point onward, he was known as Baba Buddha Ji.Major Contributions to SikhismBaba Buddha Ji spent his entire life in selfless service (sewa) to the Guru's household and the growing Sikh community. His most notable roles include:Ceremonial Anointment of the Gurus: He held the unique honor of applying the tilak (ceremonial forehead mark) during the guruship succession ceremonies for five consecutive Gurus: Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan Dev, and Guru Hargobind.The First Head Granthi: When the first compilation of the Sikh holy scripture (the Adi Granth) was installed inside the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) in 1604, Guru Arjan Dev Ji appointed Baba Buddha Ji as its very first high priest or custodian (Head Granthi). #treanding #creatorsearchinsights #sikhism #punjabi #fyp
