Question: What is Guru Nanak's genology!?
I'm just wondering what is Guru Nanak's geneology, I've heard that he was born to the "Bedi" clan, but I also want to know if he has decendents, since I heard of many people with the last name "Bedi", but I want to know which ones are directly decended of Guru Nanak himself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Bedi is a well known Khatri clan in India!. Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, was born into this clan!.
The ancestors of Guru Nanak Dev came to be called as Bedi (Vedi), because they had studied the Vedas, the ancient Hindu texts, according to the Bichitra Natak, the autobiography of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh!.
