Guru Angad Dev was born on March 31, 1504 in a
village called Harike in Ferozepur district of the Punjab. His father, Bhai
Pheru was a trader. His parents called him Lehna. He was married at the age
of fifteen. His wife, Khivi was a native of Mattei di Sarai in Ferozepur
district. His father grew weary of Harike and with his family returned to
his ancestral place, Mattei di Sarai and lived there. Bhai Lehna's wife gave
birth to two daughters, Amro and Anokhi, and two sons called Dasu and Datu. When Mattei di Sarai was sacked by the Mughals
and Baloches, Bhai Lehna and his father moved to Khadur, now a famous town
near Tarn Taran. Bhai Lehna grew very religious under the influence of his
mother, Daya Kaur, and became a devotee of Durga, the goddess of Shakti. He
used to organize yearly pilgrimage of devout Hindus to Jawalamukhi, a place
of Durga temple in the lower Himalayas where fire issued from the mountains.
He used to lead Durga dance around the fire in a harness of jingling bells.
