bula

BULA PANDHA, a learned Brahman of Dalla in present day Kapurthala district of the Punjab, called on Guru Amar Das as the latter once visited his village, and received the rites of initiation at his hands. One day Bhai Bula asked the Guru how he might serve the sangat, for he could do little work physically. The Guru, in the words of Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, spoke: "Give discourses on the holy bani. Besides, prepare copies of the pothi, breviary of hymns, for distribution among Sikhs. Do not ask for any payment for your labour, though you may accept what is voluntarily offered to you.

CHANDIA, BHAI, a Dhir Khatri, was a devoted Sikh of the time of Guru Arjan. He rendered dedicated service during the digging of the sacred pool and the construction of Harimandar at Amritsar. His name is included among the Guru\'s devotees in Bhai Mani Singh, Sijchari di Bhagat Mala. See BULA DHIR, BHAI

BULA, BHAI, figures in Bhai Gurdas`s roster of prominent Sikhs of the time of Guru Ram Das, Varan, XI. 17. Bhai Gurdas describes him as Bula the Dealer in Truth. See DHARAM DAS, BHAl
