Baba is an honorific title that denotes very high respect, indicating the bearer's spiritual descent or mastery. The family Gurudwara Damdama Baba Sahib Singhji Bedi,〔http://www.panoramio.com/photo/27910567〕 although in ruins now, is a holy shrine beyond ethnicity where the belief continues that God fulfills every wish of those who light a lamp there. The Bedi family's patron saint is Baba Sri Chand,〔http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Baba_Sri_Chand〕〔http://www.arogyayurvedichealth.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/Babaji.53175707.pdf〕〔http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/10217/10/10_chapter%206.pdf〕 of whom it is believed since creation,〔http://1stholistic.com/prayer/hindu/hol_hindu-creation-of-the-universe.htm〕 to be the second individual after Karna in the Mahabharat to be born with the Kavacha and the Kundala, an invincible armor that protects against all harm, physical or conceptual and renders the wearer immortal. Baba Daya Singh Bedi was married to Anand Kaur Dhall〔https://books.google.co.in/books?id=2ZmgAAAAMAAJ&q=daya+singh+bedi&dq=daya+singh+bedi&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CD8Q6AEwB2oVChMIrNuVqM23yAIV1VuOCh1xwgo4〕 and was succeeded by his son Tika Aridaman Singh Bedi, 'Dumi', who was married to Avinash Kaur Gill.

The notion of equating turbans with crowns was borrowed from an Islamic custom but is rooted in the Sikh tradition too. Baba Daya Singh Bedi attained the conspicuous privilege of wearing a distinguished style of turban〔http://photodivision.gov.in/writereaddata/webimages/thumbnails/11108.jpg〕〔http://photodivision.gov.in/writereaddata/webimages/thumbnails/11109.jpg〕 and his succession maintained the tradition; a combination of a Sikh turban, safa and a pushtun chieftain’s headgear that conveys royalty and grace.〔https://books.google.co.in/books?id=ifltAAAAMAAJ&q=daya+singh+bedi&dq=daya+singh+bedi&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAmoVChMIrYuF-cm3yAIVFo6OCh3sRQWe〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daya Singh Bedi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
