Early Life Guru Angad Dev () (31 March 1504 – 29 March 1552) was the second of The eleven Gurus of Sikhism. He was born as Lehna in a Trehan family of Khatri clan in Sarainaga village, in present day Muktsar District of Punjab in India. He became Guru on 7 September1539 following Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikhism. He made many contributions to Sikh philosophy, and his instructions included: However he faced a tough time when his elder brohter Prithvi Chand threw him out of the holy place. But that was for a short period only. He regained control again with the help of a mougal general. Guru Angad's wife, Mata Khivi developed the system of Langar (community kitchen) and spent her life in selfless service. They had many children. One of their daughters was the daughter-in-law of the brother of Guru Amar Das. Hence, Guru Amar Das was the paternal uncle of Guru Angad's son-in-law. Before Guru Angad Dev died, he nominated Guru Amar Das to be the third Guru of the Sikhs. Audio | ||||||||
