1. Selfless Service by Sri Guru Ram Das Jee 1. As a child....Known as Bhai Jetha (before he became Sri Guru Ram Das Jee), he was only 7 years old when both his parents died. He was taken in by his grandmother and wasn’t lucky enough to go to school and worked hard selling Indian sweets. 2. As a teen....Fortunately Sri Guru Amar Das Jee adopted Bhai Jetha, who learnt Gurmukhi and would do seva for Guru Jee and the Sadh-Sangat (holy congregation) in the early morning and then work in langar for the rest of the day. 3. In his 20s.....He actively helped Sri Guru Amar Das Jee in his works including the founding of the city of Goindwal and the construction of the deep well (Baoli Sahib) as a welfare project. Sri Guru Amar Das Jee was impressed by Bhai Jetha’s devotion and service that he had his daughter Bibi Bhani married to Bhai Jetha Ji. 4. Sri Harmandir Sahib Sri Guru Ram Das Jee eagerly continued the building of the city of Ramdaspur (the abode of Ram Das) by the digging of the second sacred pool as he had been instructed by Sri Guru Amar Das Jee. Pilgrims came in ever growing numbers to hear the Guru and to help in the excavation work of the tank. The holy tank would be called Amritsar meaning pool of nectar. Today the city of Ramdaspur, which now is the holiest centre of Sikhism has come to be know as Amritsar.
