Keso Gopal Pundit
Keso Gopal Pandit (ਕੇਸੋ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਪੰਡਿਤ) is a qualitative name used for a Sikh in Ramkali Sadu. Here Pundit is not singular but plural. Following is stanza where this name is present:
Traditional commentators thought it to be some historical person during time of Guru Amar Dass.[5] However, linguistically, experts agree 'Keso Gopal Pandit' refers to a learned scholar (Pundit) who has extensive knowledge and wisdom.[6] In Gurmat, Gurmukhi have knowledge of Keso/Gopal. Others believe Guru Amar Das ji to be simply asking to invite 'such a learned scholar(s)', who can read the sermon of the eternal lord, har har.
