​Birthplace Baddon ki Gosain and its history

Baddoki Gosaian is the birthplace of Sidh Baba Sai Das, founder of the Gosain/Goswami community contemporary to Baba Nanak Dev. It had a big square-shaped tank with a temple in the center with a berry tree. People used to bathe in the tank in order to have their wishes fulfilled. There used to be a langar hall opposite the temple, although according to the latest (2010 onwards) Google Earth images, the langar hall has been demolished, whereas in the 2007 Google Earth images it was clearly visible.
Presently, a temple of the same name is situated in Uttam Nager, New Delhi with Shri Bharat Bhushan as its mahant and head.
Mahant Ji enlights the Jyoti on every Narsingh Chaudash. Address of the mandir – Mandir Tomri Sahib, Z-104, Dayalsar Road, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi. Near Uttam Nagar West Metro Station. Behind Bank of Baroda.
Sanjeev Bhaskar, famous British-Indian comedian, actor and broadcaster, who is best known for his work in the BBC Two comedy series Goodness Gracious Me and as host of The Kumars at No. 42, also belongs to the Gosain Community. He presented and starred in a documentary series called India with Sanjeev Bhaskar, in which he travelled India and visited his ancestral home in Baddoki Gosaian.
​History
​Baddoki Gosaian is one of the largest and most historically significant villages of the Gujranwala District. It is often locally referred to as Badoki. It was a home to Hindus (mostly belonging to the Gosain community), Sikhs and Muslims before the Partition of India. In 1947, several Hindu and Sikh families migrated from Baddoki Gosaian to India and similarly from India several Muslim families migrated to the village. Migrant families still use the homes and lands of those who emigrated from the village.
There are now approximately 40,000 residents of Baddoki Gosaian. Several old buildings remain which were built in the 18th century. The village is now home to thousands of Muslims and Christians, and although the majority of residents are Muslims, both groups share the same social and cultural status, with independent practice of belief.Baddoki Gosain is the name of the village, derived from and established in the name of Baddo, one of the earlier devotees of Gosain Baba Saindassji, thus the village was named Baddoki Gosain and people used to call Baba Saindass ji as Baddo Ke Gosain.
Gaddi Nashin Mahant Madan Mohan Ji of Kalanour(Punjab) Gosain Mission bless all his devotees and protect themselves every minute of the day. Kalanour Gosain Mission is active and belongs to Branch Boora Dalla, which was shifted here after Partition (as mentioned above) by Mahant Beli Ram Ji. Mahant Beli Ram Ji was Grand Father of Gaddi Nashin Mahant Madan Mohan Ji.

Baba Sain Dass Ji, was the first guru of Gosain Clan & was contemporary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 
One of his prime Jat devotee who used to be known as "Baddo", accompanied him during his life time.
Once Baba Sain Dass Ji decided about setting up a village at some specific spiritually suitable location, he entrusted this important responsibility on his param sewak Boddo and named the village after his name as Baddoki. 
Soon afterwards, people started settling there & calling Baba Sain Dass Ji as "Baddo Ke Gosain".
"Baddoki is a large village about 8 miles from Gujranwala & 1 mile west of the Grand Trunk Road. It has an important "Old Gosain Shrine" where a spiritual fair used to held annually, for 3 days in a row. The Population in 1931 was 2,529"
Note:
As regards to the shrine, above account has been given by Pandit Banshi Ram, the retired sub-judge and written in the Pakistan Gazzetteer on pages 62,63 and 64.
Information related to Shrine and its importance can also be found in the pages of many history books. One of them is "Early Nineteenth Century Punjab"
