Bhai Jaita was a devout Sikh of the time of Guru Arjan Sahib. Bhai Jaita and his companion, Bhai Piraga and Bhai Nanda renounced observing the Hindu rites. Once, their former family priest chided them for renouncing the family’s religious customs. At this they told the Pandit that he had told them that if some has freshly born or dead in a family, no religious rites should be observed there as that house become defiled for some time. They said that since they had got initiation from Guru Arjan Sahib and their ignorance was dead and knowledge was born; hence customary religious rituals must not be observed. At this the Pandit was silenced
