ALAM CHAND was a masand or parish leader at Lahore in Guru Arjan\'s time. He was known for his pious and honest ways. He brought to the Guru regularly offerings collected from the Lahore sangat. His favourite maxim, tells Bhai Mani Singh in the Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, was that the use for oneself even of a kaudi, i.e. the smallest coin, out of the offerings was injurious to one\'s body as well as to one\'s soul.
BHANA, BHAI, resident of Prayag (Allahabad), is listed by Bhai Gurdas, Varan, XI. 31, among leading Sikhs of the time of Guru Hargobind (1595-1644). As recorded in Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, he asked the Guru to indicate the way to release. The Guru said, "Meditate always on Vahiguru and make honest work your daily habit."
