Baba Budha Ji born on the October 21, 1506 in the village of Kathu Nangal of Amritsar undoubtedly holds a supreme status in the history of the Sikh religion. He was named ‘ਬੂੜਾ’ which is not a good name but as Gurbani says "ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਦਰਸਨਿ ਮੋਖਦੁਆਰੁ" he became one of the most important figure in Sikhism after Guru Nank Sahib paid visit to his village in 1518.
He served milk to Guru Nanak Sahib when Guru sahib renamed him as ‘Buddha’ which means ‘Old one’ but the essence is ‘wise’ as distinguished from age in years.
Baba Budha Ji played a most dynamic role in Sikhism:
1. Pothi Sahib was founded by Guru Arjan Sahib Ji and Baba Budha Ji was appointed first Granthi of the Pothi Sahib that later came to be known as Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
2. Baba Budha Ji was also the Guru’s representative to initiate the great Emperor Akbar towards the teachings of Guru Nanak Sahib Ji.
3. He was the one who completed the Gurgaddi ceremony of Guru Angad Dev Ji till Guru Hargobind Sahib.
Baba Budha Ji was a saint-soldier, construction of Shri Akal Takht (Akal Bunga) took place under his supervision and organized the Shabad Chowki during the imprisonment of Guru Hargobind ji in Gwalior fort. He left behind Sikh beliefs of stern devotion, selfless work and loyalty to the path set by the Gurus. At the age of 125 years, he died, in the lap of sixth Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji on November 16, 1631.
