Bhai Kalyana, resident of Delhi was a dedicated Sikh of the time of Guru Hargobind Sahib. He had established a Dharmsala at Delhi where the Sikhs used to congregate every day. When Ram Rai (son of Guru Har Rai Sahib) appeared in the court of Aurangzeb misrepresentation of Gurbani, Bhai Kalyana was one of the Sikhs who informed Guru Sahib about Ram Rai’s activities. When (Guru) Tegh Bahadur Sahib visited Delhi in March 1664, he stayed with Bhai Kalyana. Baba Gurditta Randhawa (a descendant of Baba Buddha) died (on November 11, 1675) at the Dharamsala established by him.
Bhai Kalyana had two sons: Umeda and Jaida. Umeda had three sons: Bagha, Ishar and Keerat. Bagha had four sons: Gurbakhsh Rai, Tulsi Das, Nanu Ram and Saina Chand. Nanu Ram (Singh) is the same person who joined Bhai Jata and carried the several head of Guru Tegh Bahadur to Anandpur. Nanu Singh’s son Gharbara Singh became the chief of the Sikh army after the martyrdom of Banda Singh Bahadur.
