i kept thinking to myself what on earth happened to bhai bala ji descendants, but when i went on ss to ask, my mind turned into that of a fish and would go into all sorts of pakhandi acts.

bhai bala ji...i myself would love to know about his descendants, where they are etc.

bhai mardana ji was a trusted servant to guru angad dev ji also. and from guru arjun dev jis time they did keertan at sri darbar sahib right until the partition in 47.

the family are still around and i think they now live in lahore somewhere. if anyone goes to the yatra to pakistan, you will be sure the co-ordinators go to the local guru ghar where they do keertan there (well, thats what i saw on a video once)

gustaphi maaf

In reality, Bhai Bala never existed. He was a fictious character pushed into our history to destroy us. It was hard for me to believe at first, but it is the reality.

There are several flaws in his version of Janam Sakhi about Sri Guru Nakan Dev Ji which he claims that Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji asked him to write.

In his Janam Sakhi, he clamis that Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was a great Hindu, but lower in spirituality than Bhgat Kabir and Hundal. Also he tries to prove that Guru Nanak Dev Ji did not come to the world to liberate the world, but because of his own karma and liberate himself. There are countless other anti-gurmat sakhis and things written in his janam sakhi that are hard to believe.

Also, the language of this Janam Sakhi is very very moderen and is not of the period of Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji, which proves that someone wrote this Sakhi longgggg after by creating a fictious charactyer, Bala and linked him with Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Guru Nanak Dev Ji's companion. In that Sakhi, Bala also writes tha whatever he is writing is all truth becuase all the things he is writing he has seen them with his eyes becauas he was with Guru Nanak Dev Ji ALL the time, which is totally wrong, becuase if that were true then why didn't Bhai Gurdas Ji mention his name in his Baani. Bhai Sahib mentioned only Bhai Mardana as Guru Nanak Dev Ji's companion.

There are sooo many other points... To find out more please read 'Katik Ke Vaisakh' by Karam Singh Historian.

on sikh- history.com i found this information on bhai bala ji

Bhai Bala Ji (1466 A.D. 1544 A.D)

BHAI Bala who was a life-long companion of Guru Nanak, was the son of Chandar Bhan, a Sandhu Jatt of Talvandi Rai Bhoi, now Nankana Sahib in Pakistan. Three years senior in age to Guru Nanak, he was his childhood playmate in Talvandi. From Talvandi, he accompanied Guru Nanak to Sultanpur where he stayed with him a considerable period of time before returning to his village.

According to Bala Janam Sakhi, Bhai Bala at the instance of Rai Bular set out from Talvandi to join Guru Nanak who had already left Sultanpur on his travels abroad and met him in Bhat Lalo's home at Saidpur. After Guru Nanak's passing away, Guru Angad, Nanak invited Bala from his native Talvandi to come to Khadur and narrate to him events from the First Guru's life. Very graphic, if somewhat miraculous, is the version contained in an old text, the Mahima Prakash. To quote: "Guru Angad one day spoke to Bhai Buddha, 'Seek the disciple who accompanied the Master, Guru Nanak, on his journeys far and wide, who heard his preaching and reflected on it, and who witnessed the many strange events that occurred; secure from him all the circumstances and have transcribed a volume which may please the hearts of those who should apply themselves to it.' Bala Sandhu made his appearance."

The anecdotes narrated by Bala were recorded in Gurmukhi characters in Guru Angad's presence by another Sikh, Paira Mokha. The result was what is known as Bhai Bale Vali Janam Sakhi, a biographical account of Guru Nanak's life. Bhai Bala died in 1544 at Khadur Sahib. A memorial platform, within the precincts of Gurdwara Tapiana Sahib, marks the site where his mortal remains were cremated.

waheguru ji kekhalsa, waheguru ji ke fateh

Pyare jio, most people believe Bhai Bala ji is an invention of the hindu right-wing groups. Sahib Siri Guru Nanak dev ji was only accompanied by Bhai Mardana ji. I cannot think of one sakhie of Sahib Siri Guru Nanak dev ji which has bhai Bala ji in it. They are all with Bhai Mardana ji only.

Both hindus and muslims claimed Guru ji as their own. Gurbani is clear that Guru ji belonged only to Akaal.

However to counter-act Guru ji being claimed as a muslim, hindus created Bhai Bala ji in old texts. However most scholars and Gursikhs now agree there is no prove to his existence.

Maybe sikh-history.com may want to do further research and correct their website.

Someyears ago I met some descendants of Bhai Mardana in Singapore.

They used to do seva in sikh gurdwaras there.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
