Message: <blockquote data-quote="seeker3k" data-source="post: 118392" data-attributes="member: 6459">SSAI need help in understanding about Guru Amardas the third guru. I came across the booklet distributed by SGPC short stories about gurus. One of the story is about guru Amardas Ji. There is some question about the katha.Amardas ji met Guru Angad dev ji when Amardas was in his 60’s. As the story says he did the seava by bringing water from river bis every morning. He did that for 12 years.That make him almost about  70-75 years of age. After Amardas got the gadi from Angad Ji, he moved to goabindwal sahib. Then One of the boy Jetha ji came in touch with Amardad Ji and he was impressed by Amardas’s preaching and satyed in goandwal. There the Wife of Amardas said to her husband we should look for husband for our daughter. Guru ji asked what type of boy we should look for. The wife said like that kaka(boy) sitting in the doorway. Guru ji said he is the only boy that is like him and no other boy be like him. So they agree to marry their daught Bhani ji with Jetha ji.What I am confused is  and need help with is: The age of kaka(boy) must been about 20 years. When father and mother were close to 75-80 how their daughter be 20 or about that age? She has to be no less then 40 year old. Does this make any sense that Guru ji married his daughter of 40 or over to boy age 20.Jetha’s name was changed to Ramdas which is normal thing. The other son-inlaw of guru was bhai Rama ji. Amardas  set up a test to see who was capable of guru gadi. Ramdas passed the test by building the stage(thara) for Amardas three times.Bhani ji use to give bath to her father every morning. One time the  step stool’s leg breakdown Bhani ji put her foot or hand under the stool. There was blood on the floor. When guru ji saw the blood he was very much impressed by her action. Guru ji said to Bhani ji to ask any thing. She asked guru ji to give the gadi in her home and her olad.Before it was the norm to give the gadi to the right man who is capable of the responsible .The question is was the test guru did to see who isw capable of gadi or was it after Bhani asked guru ji to keep it in her family?Can any one enlighten me about it?Seeker3k</blockquote>
