Guru Ram Das ji, the forth Guru Of the sikhs was born on 9 October 1534, in Lahore, into a Sodhi Khatri family residing in Mohalla Chuna Mandi. His father's name was Hari Das and mother's name was Anup Devi. Before being called
Guru Ram Das, his name given to him by his parents was 'Jetha', 'first born'.
His wife Bibi Bhani, was the the younger daughter of Guru Amar Das Ji, the third guru of the Sikhs. Bhai Jetha ji had three sons, named Prithi Chand, Mahadev and Arjan Dev.

Bhai Jetha was too much fascinated by his nanake, the home of his grandparents, that he use to visit the village Basarke, where his grandparents reside.

How Guruji's Wedding Took Place

A very interesting story narrated by almost all writers says,

One day the Guru Amar Das Ji's wife, seeing Bibi Bhani said they ought to find a husband for her, as Bhani has grown up. She saw a boy outside her door hawking some articles of food. On seeing him, they called the youth and enquired from his about his family. Guru Amardas felt so much impressed with him that he decided to marry his second daughter bibi Bhani, to him. After that he sent him with marriage presents to his father Har Das in Lahore and had the betrothal (engagement) ceremony performed.

Bibi Bhani served Bhai Jetha ji not merely as her husband but also as a saint.
They gave birthy to three sons. After sometime, Bhai Jetha ji went along with his family to Goindwal, Amritsar. Today Goindwal had been founded several years back in the time of Guru AngaBhai Jetha ji had three sons, named Prithi Chand, Mahadev and Arjan Devd Dev, and soon after its foundation Amar Das with the whole of his family had shifted his residence here from his native place Basarke. After that whenever Jetha and Bhani felt like meeting them, they naturally had to come to Goindwal.
