Guru Angad

Guru Angad (March 31, 1504 –March 28, 1552) is the second of the ten Sikh Gurus.

He was born in the village of Sarae Naga in Muktsar District in Punjab.

The name Lehna was given shortly after his birth as was the custom of his Hindu parents.

He is the son of a small but successful trader named Pheru Mal.

His mother's name is Mata Ramo (also known as Mata Sabhirai, Mansa Devi and Daya Kaur).

Baba Narayan Das Trehan was the Guru's Grandfather, whose ancestral house was at Matte-di-Sarai near Muktsar.

In 1538, Guru Nanak chooses Lehna—his disciple—to be his successor as Sikhism's Guru, rather than one of his sons.

Lehna is then given the name Angad and designated as Guru Angad, becoming the second guru of the Sikhs.

He continue the work started by the first Sikh Guru.

Guru Angad marries Mata Khivi in January 1520 and has two sons (Dasu and Datu) and two daughters (Amro and Anokhi).

The entire family of his father had left their ancestral village in fear of the invasion of Babar's armies.

After this the family settles at Khadur Sahib, a village by the River Beas near what is now Tarn Taran a small town about twenty-five kilometers from the city of Amritsar, the holiest of Sikh cities.
