Baba Sarabjot Singh Bedi

Baba Sri Chand was a celibate yogi, but his younger brother, baba Lakshmi Chand (or Lakshmi Das), was married to the daughter of Diwan Uttam Chand. All the Bedis today are descendants of Manak Chand and Mehr Chand, the two sons of Lakshmi Chand. Traditionally the Bedis were specially respected by the Sikhs. Baba Kaladhari, a Bedi, was honoured and given special gifts by Guru Gobind Singh. Baba Kaladhari had inherited a cap ("seli topi") originally worn by Guru Nanak Dev. This cap has been preserved at Una in present-day Himachal Pradesh. Baba Sahib Singh Bedi was asked to preside over the coronation of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The current head of the family is Baba Sarabjot Singh Bedi and he is based in Una, Himachal Pradesh.
