His father, Anand D&#257s son of B&#257b&#257 Mohr&#299, was a man of a devout temperament. Sundar grew up in an environment of faith and piety and developed deep affection and reverence for Gur&#363 Amar D&#257s, his great-grandfather. The theme of his poem, <i>Sadu</i> meaning call, is the ascension of Gur&#363 Amar D&#257s, described in terms of his having been recalled by God Almighty. The hymn stares how Gur&#363 Amar D&#257s had completely surrendered himself to the Will of the Supreme Being, ever remaining absorbed in meditation on the Name, how he had, through the favour of Gur&#363s, attained the office of Gur&#363, how he, at the time of his departure, had appointed R&#257m D&#257s his successor and how he had told his family to abide by the Will of the Lord and not to weep for him after him.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Gurdit Si&#7749gh, Gi&#257n&#299, <i>ltih&#257s Sr&#299 Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib</i> (Bhagat B&#257&#7751&#299 Bh&#257g).
