History

In his young age, Guru Sahib's family convinced him to accept the job as an accountant, which Nawab Daulat Khan Lodhi offered at his Provision store on being recommended by Guru Sahib's brother in law Jai Ram. His hard work during the daytime and songs praising God impressed the Nawab very much. According to a story, once while weighing some goods, Guru Sahib stopped on the number 13, known as 'tera' meaning 'yours' in Punjabi. People around him thought that he had gone mad and will incur loss to the store. However, the store made profits like never before.
