Guru Angad Sahib ji birth anniversary, know about the 2nd guru of Sikhs

Guru Angad Sahib Ji  was the second of the ten Sikh Gurus. He was born in the village of Sarai Naga, previously named as 'Matte Di Sarai', in Muktsar District in Punjab on 31 March 1504. 

The name Lehna was given shortly after his birth as was the custom of his hindu parents. In 1538, Guru Nanak chose Lehna—his disciple—to be his successor as Sikhism's Guru, rather than one of his sons. Lehna was then given the name Angad and designated as Guru Angad, becoming the second guru of the Sikhs.

 His father’s name was  Pheru Mal, mother's name was Mata Ramo (also known as Mata Sabhirai, Mansa Devi.

Guru Angad married with Mata Khivi in January 1520 and had two sons (Dasu and Datu) and two daughters (Amro and Anokhi).

On the birth anniversary of guru Sahib people do katha, gurbani kirtan, prayer and distribute food in public.
