Bird (Birad)


BIRD/ BIRAD

Bird literally means: reputation (for being honourable) or nature or duty towards others e.g. God has Bird to sustain His creation, a mother has Bird for caring her children. Similarly, a Sikh has Bird to be protector of the week, needy and oppressed.

Bird can be defined as ‘duty’ too. Guru/God has Bird (duty) to protect the Sikhs in all situations.
