KHANU, BHAI

KHANU, BHAI, a Chhura Khatri of the village of Dalla, in present day Kapurthala district of the Punjab, was a devoted Sikh of the time of Guru Amar Das. As the Guru once visited Dalla, Bhai Khanu led into his presence a group of villagers including Bhai Taru, Bhai Vega Pasi, Bhai Ugaru, Bhai Nandu Sudana, Bhai Puro and Bhaijhanda. He and his companions received initiation at his hands. The Guru, says Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, advised them to feed the needy. “To share one`s victuals with others,”
