<p class="C1">&#65279SADH&#256RA&#7750, SANT, was the name given by Gur&#363 Amar D&#257s to one of his devoted Sikhs, a carpenter of Goindv&#257l, who had made a long wooden ladder for use in the <i>b&#257ol&#299</i>, or open well, then under construction. Pleased with his devotion and industry, Gur&#363 Amar D&#257s called him Sant (saint) Sadh&#257ra&#7751 (simple), and bestowed on him a <i>mañj&#299</i> i.e. priesthood of a diocese. Sadh&#257ra&#7751 shifted to Bak&#257l&#257 (present B&#257b&#257 Bak&#257l&#257 in Amritsar district), where he preached Gur&#363 N&#257nak&#8217s word and where his descendants still live.They have a small shrine built there in his memory.</p>
