NAVALA, BHAI, and his brother. Bhai Nihala, Sabharval Khatris of Palna, were devoted Sikhs respected widely for their truthful and hospitable nature. Once they called on Guru Hargobind and besought instruction. According to Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhdn di Bhagat Maid, Guru Hargobind taught them always to remember God and serve others with humility.
BHANU, BHAI, a Sikh of Guru Arjan`s time, earned the sobriquet of Bhagat (devotee) for his piety and devotion. Guru Arjan appointed him to preach Guru Nanak`s word at Muzang, in Lahore. By his kirtan and exposition of the holy texts, Bhai Bhanu, as says Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, converted many to the Sikh way of life. See KISNA, BHAI
DHILLI MANDAL, BHAI, was a devoted Sikh of the time of Guru Arjan. Once, as says Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, he reported to the Guru that he had come across verses using the pseudonym Nanak, but which did not seem genuine at all. Guru Arjan, continues Bhai Mani Singh, undertook thereupon the task of preparing an authorized volume sifting the genuine from the counterfeit. Thus emerged the Holy Granth which was installed in the Harimandar at Amritsar in 1604. See GOPI MAHITA, BHAI
