BHAGVANA. BHAI, along with Bhai Latkan Ghura, Bhai Gurditta and Bhai Katara, the jeweller, once came to see Guru Arjan and asked for a mantra, or sacred formula. The Guru, as says Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, told them that any name for God would save, but they might repeat and meditate upon the word Vahiguru revealed by Guru Nanak as a means of liberation. Bhai Bhagvana and his companions were pleased to be so instructed.
