Sat nam. Because of Bibi Bani Kaur, the daughter of the 3rd Guru. She saw a leg of her father's meditation cot breaking and in order not to disturb him nor have the cot fall, she held that part of the cot until he had finished his meditation. When he realized this, he praised her and sought to honor her in return. She requested that the lineage of the Guruship remain in her family, and Guru Amar Das agreed. She was the daughter, wife (Guru Ram Das), and mother (Guru Arjan) of a Guru.
