Sri Chand Ji also referred to as Baba Sri Chand (8 September 1494 – 13 January 1629) was the founder of the ascetic sect of Udasi and was the elder son of Guru Nanak, first Guru and founder of Sikhism.〔(Baba Sri Chand ) Sikh-heritage.co.uk.〕 He was born to Mata Sulakhani on Bhadra sudi 9, 1551 Bikrami (i.e 8 September 1494) at Sultanpur Lodhi, Kapurthala district, Punjab.〔(Sri Chand, Baba ) The Sikh Encyclopedia.〕 After Guru Nanak left home on his travels, his mother, Mata Sulakkhani took him along with his younger brother, Lakhmi Das, to her maternal home in Pakkhoke Randhave on River Ravi. Later in life instead of following his father's path, he became an ascetic, subsequently founded the ascetic order, Udasi (literally stoic or detached), which through itinerant ascetic preachers, established and established missionary centres across many parts of India. When Nanak died, and his shrine was wahsed away in floods, it was remade by Sri Chand at a place later known Dera Baba Nanak.〔〔(Udasi ) Britannica.com.〕 On page 967 of Guru Granth Sahib, the primary scripture of the Sikhs, Sri Chand Ji is criticized for being rebellious to Nanak and not obeying his word.〔(ਪੁਤ੍ਰੀ ਕਉਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਲਿਓ ਕਰਿ ਪੀਰਹੁ ਕੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਮੁਰਟੀਐ ): Page 987, Adi Granth〕 ਪੁਤ੍ਰੀ ਕਉਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਲਿਓ ਕਰਿ ਪੀਰਹੁ ਕੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਮੁਰਟੀਐ ॥ His sons did not obey His Word; they turned their backs on Him as Guru. ਦਿਲਿ ਖੋਟੈ ਆਕੀ ਫਿਰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਬੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਭਾਰੁ ਉਚਾਇਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਛਟੀਐ ॥ These evil-hearted ones became rebellious; they carry loads of sin on their backs Some organizations, like 3HO, Gobind Sadan, Damdami Taksal, a few Nihangs, and even a few Jathedars of takhat, admire Sri Chand Ji for his contribution. Sri Chand Ji is said to composed an Aarta - a poem in name of his father, Nanak. After having differences with many subsequent Sikh gurus, Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das Guru Ram Das and Guru Arjan, however there was reconciliation between Sri Chand and sixth SIkh Guru Guru Hargobind. He died at Kiratpur on 13 January 1629, prior to which Guru Hargobind's son Baba Gurditta succeeded him as head of the Udasi sect.〔 ==References== 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「Sri Chand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
