long essay on guru teg bahadur ji

Guru Tegh Bahadur

When the Almighty manifests himself in human form, he takes the whole human race in His loving Embrace. This God like warmth of the Divine Incarnate flows out to the whole creation and yearns for universal welfare and redemption. This Nectar of Grace and Love flowed from the Beneficient, All Loving Guru Tegh Bahadur (Guru Nanak - The Ninth) to 500 Pandits of Kashmir and through them to a whole religion, a whole nation.

Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib's sacrifice for the pandits of Kashmir has to be viewed in this background and context. He, being the Jagat Guru, belongs to all, the whole universe. The love and mercy of a Prophet, a Messiah, a Jagat Guru is impartial, it knows no difference. It showers like rain on all alike. When Pandits of Kashmir, subjected to untold persecution and tyranny, approached Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib for protection, the most compassionate Guru had shown an unexampled mercy characteristic of the House of Guru Nanak. — Brig. Partap Singh Ji Jaspal (Retd.)

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji ( Gurmukhi : ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦੁਰ) ( Wednesday , April 18 , 1621 - Wednesday , November 24 , 1675 ), revered by the Sikhs as Srisht-di-Chadar (Protector of humanity), was the ninth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism . He had become Guru on 16 April , 1664 , following the footsteps of his grand-nephew and the eighth Guru, Guru Har Krishan Ji.

A poet, a thinker, and a warrior, Guru Teg Bahadur Ji carried forward the light of sanctity and divinity of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the subsequent Sikh Gurus. His spiritual writings, detailing varied themes such as, the nature of God, human attachments, body, mind, sorrow, dignity, service, death, and deliverance, are registered in the form of 116 poetic hymns in the sacred scripture, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. To spread the message of Sikhism, the Guru traveled extensively through the Indian subcontinent, setting up several new preaching centers. He founded the town of Chak-Nanki in Punjab , later enlarged by the tenth Nanak, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, into the city of Sri Anandpur Sahib .

In May 1675, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was approached by Hindu Pandits from the Kashmir region, seeking the Guru's intercession against the forced conversions of Hindus to Islam by the Mughal rulers of India. For supporting the Hindu Pandits by resisting these forced conversions, and for himself refusing to convert to Islam, Guru Teg Bahadur Ji was publicly executed via beheading at the imperial capital of Delhi on the orders of Emperor Aurangzeb . Today, Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib and Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib stand at the sites of beheading and cremation of Guru Ji’s body. Along with Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, three other Sikhs, Bhai Mati Das , Bhai Sati Das , and Bhai Dyal Das , were also executed.

On Guru Teg Bahadur Ji’s supreme sacrifice to champion fundamental human rights for all, his son, the tenth Nanak, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, wrote:

Thheekar forh dilees sir, Prabh pur keeaa payaan, Teg Bahadur see kirya, karee na kinahoo aan. Teg Bahaadur ke chalat, bhayo jagat ko sok, Hai hai hai sabh jag bhayo, jai jai jai sur lok. Casting off his bodily vesture on the head of Suzerain Of Delhi; Teg Bahadur departed to the Realm of God. None who came into the world performed such glorious deeds as him. On his departure, there was dismay in the world. This world cried, "Alas, Alas". The Heavens rang with greetings of victory. ( Guru Gobind Singh )

Guru Ji whose original name was Tyag Mal (Master of Renunciation) spent his childhood at Amritsar. In his early years he learned Gurmukhi , Hindi , Sanskrit and Indian religious philosophy from Bhai Gurdas , and archery and horsemanship from Baba Budha while his father Guru Hargobind Ji, Master of Miri and Piri taught him swordsmanship. Only 13 years old, he asked his father to accompany him into battle as his village was attack by Painde Khan and the Mughals in a battle over Shah Jahan's hawk. During the battle he had weighed into the enemies with abandon, slashing his sword right and left.

After the battle was won, (the Battle of Kartarpur ) the victorious Sikhs returning home honored their new hero with a new 'warriors' name. And so Tyag Mal Ji was renamed Tegh Bahadur Ji (lit. Brave sword wielder or Best sword wielder).(Tegh = wielder of the sword. Bahadur (originally meaning brave was by that time being also used as a superlative meaning better or best). The young Tegh Bahadur soon showed a bent in the direction of the earlier Sikhs Gurus who had passed the 'seli' of Nanak (the sacred headgear of renunciation) to each new Guru. He delved into his studies and spent his time in meditation living up to his given name - Master of Renunciation. He was married to Mata Gujri Ji at Kartarpur in 1632.

After the untimely death of his son Bhai Gurditta , Guru Hargobind seemingly started grooming his grandson Har Rai to sit next on Guru Nanak's seat. Har Rai Ji became Guru Hargobind's successor in 1644 . Shortly after this Guru Hargobind asked Tegh Bahadur Ji to move with his wife and his mother to the village of Bakala . He had told his wife, who had wanted her son to follow the father as Guru, that one day he would become Guru and have a son and that both would become famous in their fight for justice.

For the next 20 years the Master of Renunciation spent most of his time in an underground room absorbed in meditation. Before Guru Har Krishan Ji passed to God’s court, he indicated that his successor would be found in Bakala . Earlier a wealthy Sikh trader Makhan Shah whose ship was caught in a violent storm prayed to God that if his ship reached port safely he would give 500 golden Mohurs to his Guru Har Krishan.

The ship landed safely and proving to be a Sikh of great integrity he headed to Delhi where the young Guru had travelled at the command of Aurangzeb . Along the way he learned of Guru Har Krishan's passing and of his mentioning that the next Guru was in the village of Bakala. He arrived in Bakala to find 22 members of the Sodhi dynasty styling themselves as the Guru and taking donations from the Sikhs. He decided to give each Guru 2 gold pieces and each Guru was pleased and blessed him.

Makhan Shah was about to leave the village when a child told him of yet another holy man meditating nearby in an underground room. Again Makhan Shah bowed and gave 2 gold pieces and turned to leave. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji said: “Why have you broken your promise? When you prayed to God to save you and your ship from the terrible storm you promised 500 gold pieces to the Guru”. Makhan Shah was overjoyed, he gave the rest of the gold as promised and ran to the roof shouting “The True Guru has been found, O Sikhs come seek his blessing” . The false Gurus all ran away.

Becomes Sikh Guru

The responsibility of instructing and guiding the Sikh community was now of Guru Tegh Bahadur's. He was the focal point of veneration of the Sikhs. They came singly and in batches to seek spiritual solace and inspiration. And by his teachings and practise, he moulded their religious and social conscience.

As had been the custom since Guru Har Gobind, Guru Tegh Bahadur kept a splendid lifestyle. He had his armed attendance and other marks of royalty. But he himself lived austerely. Sikh or other documents make no mention of any clash with the ruling power having occurred during his time.

Visit to Harmandar Sahib

Soon after the public announcement by Makhan Shah , the Guru with a party of Sikhs travelled to Amritsar to pay obeisance at the Harmandar Sahib . However on his arrival at this sacred shrine, the Guru was rebuffed by the Sodhi family Sardars who then had control of the Gurdwara and he was not allowed to enter the main section of the complex but went as far as the Thara Sahib - see Structure of Harmandar Sahib .

The party found that the doors of this premier Sikh shrine were suddenly shut and they were refused admittance. The reason for this action was that the greedy " masands " (bishops) of Amritsar had acknowledged Guru Arjan Dev ji's elder brother Prithi Chand to be their guru. It was under the instructions of Harji, the impostor (Mina) guru of that time, that the doors of the Golden Temple were closed to Guru Tegh Bahadur ji.

The Guru waited nearby for a little while. This place is now known as "Thara Sahib" - the Pillar of Patience. But when the doors were not opened, Guru ji went away and stayed in a nearby village of Wala in the humble dwelling of a peasant couple. Later, the women of Amritsar came out and repented for the shameful behaviour of the masands of Amritsar. Highly pleased at the sincere devotion and courage of the women of Amritsar, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji said, "Ever blessed by God be the women of Amritsar."

Mission starts in Punjab

The Guru made three successive visits to Kiratpur . On 21 August 1664, Guru Tegh Bahadur went there to console with Bibi Rup Kaur upon the passing away of her father, Guru Har Rai , and of her brother, Guru Har Krishan . The second visit was on 15 October 1664, at the death on 29 September 1664, of Mata Bassi, mother of Guru Har Rai. A third visit concluded a fairly extensive journey through Majha, Malwa region in Punjab and Bangar districts of the Punjab .

Crossing the Beas ] and Sutlej ] rivers, Guru Tegh Bahadur arrived in the Malwa. He visited Zira, and Moga and reached Darauli . He then sojourned in the Lakhi Jungle, a desolate and sandy tract comprising mainly present-day districts of Bhatinda and Faridkot .

According to the Guru kian Sakhian, Baisakhi of 1665 was celebrated at Sabo-ki Talwandi , now known as Damdama Sahib . This journey took Guru Tegh Bahadur up to Dhamdhan , near Jind , from where he returned to Kiratpur. The Dowager Rani Champa of Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh offered to give the Guru a piece of land in her state.

The Guru bought the site (which was about six miles away from Kiratpur Sahib) on payment of Rs 500. The land consisted of the villages of Lodhipur, Mianpur and Sahota. Here on the mound of Makhowal , Guru Tegh Bahadur ordained that a city be constructed. The original name of the city was Chakk Nanaki. However, later he would rename the city Anandpur - the City of Bliss and this was where the Khalsa was born.

However, the Guru did not stay at Anandpur or Kiratpur for long; he left most of its construction to be done during his absence.

Mission to the East

Soon after, during about late 1665 and 1666, the Guru undertook travels to the region east of Punjab and to Easter India to different parts of this region to preach the teachings of Guru Nanak . His places of visit included Uttar Pardesh, Bihar , Assam , Bengal and present-day Bangladesh. One reason for Guru Tegh Bahadur ji's travels to the East was his wish to visit and pay homage to various places that were associated with the previous visit by Guru Nanak .

These visits to places where core Sikh sangats (communities) existed created confidence and infuse renewed enthusiasm in the people; gave them moral and spiritual courage and a better and deeper understanding of Guru Nanak mission.

Leaving Anandpur , the Ninth Guru blessing various villages and towns, reached Kurukshetra. An eclipse of the Sun was due and there was a fair and a large gathering. The Guru took advantage of the occasion and went there. The Brahmans and some other people suggested to the Guru that he should bathe in the sacred tank and thus be purified.

The Guru smiled and said, "My friends, one cannot be purified simply by washing one's body since the polluted mind cannot be washed with water. It is only the True Name of Almighty God that can wash away all sins and emancipate the soul." By these means, the Guru imparted the message of Guru Nanak and dispelled superstition and empty ritualistic behaviour.

Birth of Gobind Rai

During 1666 the Guru was travelling east of Patna to the regions of Bihar , Assam and present-day Bangladesh after leaving his wife, family members and Sikh sangat at Patna, Bihar.

At this time Mata Gujri was expecting a baby as so found it difficult to travel. Thirty four years had passed since her marriage to the Guru Tegh Bahadur. Three hours before the dawning of day, in the winter of her forty second year, on Friday , January 5 , 1666 , Mata Gujri ji became the mother of a prince. Marvelling at the majestic bearing of one so small, Mata Nankee delivered her newborn grandson proudly to his mother's outstretched arms.

At his post outside the room, Kirpal Chand heard the infant take his first breath and immediately, he turned to dispatch the courier who stood by awaiting the signal to seek out the Guru and deliver the news of his son's birth. Thus Gobind Rai was born in the city of Patna in Bihar, East India.

Return to Punjab

Returning to Patna in 1670, the Guru directed his family to return to the Punjab . On the site of the house at Patna in which Gobind Rai was born and where he spent his early childhood now stands a sacred shrine, Sri Patna Sahib Gurdwara , Bihar .

Gobind Rai was escorted to Anandpur (then known as Chakk Nanaki) on the foothills of the Sivaliks where he reached in March 1672 and where his early education included reading and writing of Punjabi, Braj, Sanskrit and Persian. He was barely nine years of age when a sudden turn came in his life as well as in the life of the community he was destined to lead.

Oppression by the Mughals

But soon oppression and intolerance would again rear its ugly head. The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb ordered Hindu temples to be destroyed and that idol worship was to be stopped. He had a temple converted into a Mosque and slaughtered a cow inside it. He also had Hindus sacked from their government jobs and employed Muslims instead. Aurangzeb also ordered Gurdwaras to be destroyed, and he expelled many missionaries from the main cities. Despite some resistance after many years of persecution, people were being forced to take up Islam .

P.N.K. Bamzi’s book, A History of Kashmir describes those days:

Kashmiri pandits and Guru Tegh Bahadur

Aurangzeb, being clever, decided if he could convert the revered Brahmin Pandits of Kashmir, then millions of their followers would  also convert to Islam. Threatened with conversion or death, the Pandits overcome by panic, came in a delegation to Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji to ask for help at  Chakk Nanaki, Pargana Kahlur (from a contemporary entry in the Bhat Vahi (diary) of the purohit of Talauda in Jind Pargana).

Hearing the serious nature of the conversation, Guru Ji’s 9 year old son Gobind Rai Ji asked his father what the problem was. The Guru told his son of the Pandits dilemma and said that it would take a holy man literally laying down his life to intercede, but the question is who would be such a man?  Gobind Rai responded “Who would be better than you to defend the poor Brahmins?”. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji smiled and decided to stand up for the right of freedom of worship and told the delegation to tell Aurangzeb that if he could convert Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, they would gladly convert to Islam too. And, then the cruel Aurangzeb tried his all to convert Guruji to Islam, but to no vain. He tortured Guruji to death. The Guruji thus sent a strong message of religious freedom and is rightly called 'Hind di chaadar'.

Gobind becomes 10th Sikh Guru

He had his son, Gobind Rai consecrated Guru and successor on 8th July 1675. The ceremony that had taken place seven times before was repeated: The Guru place five coins and a coconut before his son as a symbol of the Guru ship passing from him to his son; Gobind Rai was now the Guru of the Sikhs at the age of 9 years.

Guru tegh Bahadur then left Anandpur for Delhi with 3 other Sikhs who knew as well the danger they were to face, Bhai Sati Das , Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Dayal Das .

Journey to Martyrdom

It seems orders for his arrest had been issued by emperor Aurangzeb as soon as he received reports of his declared intention,SHRI GURU TEGH BAHADUR SAHIB JI along with his followers Bhai Mati Das ji, Bhai Sati Das ji Bhai Dyala Ji, Bhai Gurditta Ji, Bhai Udo ji, and Bhai Jaita ji started journey from SHRI ANANDPUR SAHIB. Stopping at Saifabad (Patiala), Cheeka, Jind, Rohtak, Janipur GURU SAHIB reached here at Agra. GURU SAHIB stopped outside Agra city at this place (GURUDWARA SHRI MANJI SAHIB, situated on the left side of GURUDWARA GURU KA TAAL in the same campus). As history reveals there was a grazer by the name of Hasan Ali who used to bring the goats here for grazing. He always used to pray to God that the savior of Hindus will get arrested one day and he should be the one responsible for his (GURU TEGH BAHADUR SAHIB’S) arrest and get paid a bounty of Rs.500 in the process. Guru Sahib beckoned Hasan Ali to fetch sweets from the market as He was hungry. Guru Sahib gave him His precious ring to sell in market and bring some sweets and food from that money. Guru Sahib also gave him a Shawl to carry the sweets and food. Hasan Ali went to the confectioner and gave the ring to the shopkeeper, in exchange for the sweets. Seeing such expensive things the shopkeeper became suspicious that how can a grazer have such things, maybe he must have stolen it and reported it to the Kotwali (Police Station). The Police arrested Hasan Ali who took them to Guru Sahib. The Police then asked who Guru Sahib was and in turn the reply came “The savior of Hindus Tegh Bahadur is my name”. On hearing this Police arrested Guru Sahib along with the other Sikhs. Guru Sahib was kept blind-folded for 9 days in Bhora Sahib (below the main Darbar Sahib). Hasan Ali was in turn given the bounty of 500 rupees. From here Guru Sahib and the other Sikhs were taken under high security to Delhi

Along with him were arrested Diwan Mati Das and Sati Das, sons of Hira Nand Chhibbar, and Dyal Das, son of Mai Das. He was then cast into an iron cage and taken to Delhi, where he arrived on 4th Nov. 1675.

Guru's welcome in heaven

Guru Ji was beheaded on 24 November 1675 , Bhai Jaita consecrated Guru Ji’s severed head to Anandpur Sahib were it was cremated by Guru Gobind Singh. A severe storm had come up after the execution and Bhai Lakhi Shah carried Guru Ji’s body to his nearby house, which he then set on fire to conceal the cremation of his Guru's body. It is said that Bhai Jaita's own father volunteered to be beheaded to cover the loss of the Guru's body. Many of the Pandits became Sikhs their leader Kirpa Ram was baptised as a Sikh and died fighting the Moghuls with Guru Gobind Singh's older sons.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji had a versatile personality, a warrior, family man with social commitment and a preacher of great understanding and vision. His martyrdom broke the myth of Aurangzeb’s religiosity.

The achievements of Guru Tegh Bahadur are remarkable:

• During the last period in Guru Ji’s life, Guru Ji founded a new town called Anandpur Sahib (City of Bliss) and went on missionary tours to UP and Bengal. Guru Ji also initiated welfare projects all over northern Panjab .
• Guru Ji symbolised the triumph of good over evil, Guru Ji’s martyrdom, unique in the history of mankind, inspired many Sikhs to lay down their lives for noble causes and moral values.
• Guru Ji was also a versatile poet and embodied a message of freedom, courage and compassion; “Fear not and frighten not.”

Guru Tegh Bahādur (born 1621?, Amritsar , Punjab, India—died November 11, 1675, Delhi) was the ninth Sikh Guru (1664–75) and second Sikh martyr . He was also the father of the 10th Guru , Gobind Singh .

After the eighth Guru, Hari Krishen , the “child Guru,” told his followers that his successor would be found in the village of Bakāla, a deputation went there and found 22 claimants. Bhai Makhan Shah, a wealthy Sikh merchant, sought out Tegh Bahādur, who, he realized, displayed none of the greed and self-aggrandizement of the other pretenders. Thereupon he proclaimed Tegh Bahādur the ninth Sikh Guru.

Guru Tegh Bahādur ran afoul of the Mughal authorities by giving aid and shelter to some Hindu holy men from Kashmir who had sought his help after they were ordered by the emperor Aurangzeb to accept Islam . Encouraged by his son, the Guru told the Hindus to inform the emperor that they would accept Islam if the Guru became a Muslim. With no intention of converting to Islam, he then left for Delhi to defend the Hindus before Aurangzeb and was arrested at the emperor’s order along the way. He was escorted with five Sikhs to Delhi and confined to the fortress in the city. While in prison he was given the opportunity to accept Islam or be tortured; he refused to convert.

Aurangzeb, his patience at an end, ordered the Guru to embrace Islam or perform a miracle. The emperor promised great rewards if Tegh Bahādur did either but death if the Guru refused. Rejecting earthly honours and maintaining that he did not fear death, the Guru refused both options. Accepting the death sentence, he recited the Japjī (the most important Sikh scripture) and was decapitated in one blow by the executioner. A loyal Sikh took the Guru’s head back to Anandpur. According to tradition, another loyal Sikh took the body back to his home and cremated it; a Sikh shrine, Gurdwārā Rakābgunj, marks the spot of the cremation.

He was born in Amritsar, Punjab, India in 1621, and was the youngest son of Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth Sikh Guru. He became the Guru of the Sikhs in 1664, after the passing of his predecessor, Guru Har Krishan Sahib.

Knowledge | Guru Teg Bahadur received his early education in Hindi, Sanskrit, Gurumukhi, and many other religious principles. He also knew the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Puranas. He was a master of the horse and the bow. From his father, he also acquired swordsmanship skills. His was considered as "Hind di Chaadar" (Shield of India).

Battle With Aurangzeb | Aurangzeb was known for his religious intolerance and persecution of non-Muslims during his rule, and his policies led to many Hindus and Sikhs being forced to convert to Islam or face severe consequences.Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, in order to defend the rights of the Hindus, sacrificed his life in 1675. The Guru was asked by the Hindu leaders and scholars of Kashmir to intervene on their behalf as Aurangzeb had ordered the execution of all those who would not convert to Islam.

Guru Teg Bahadur took his last breath in the city of Delhi.

500-Essay On Guru Teg Bahadur Ji

Guru Teg Bahadur is the ninth Sikh Guru. He was born in the city of Amritsar and died in the Indian city of Delhi. He was born to Guru Hargobind (sixth Sikh guru) and Mata Nanki ji. Mata Gujri Ji was his wife's name. He was Guru Arjan Dev's grandson.

Becoming Teg Bahadur | Tyag Mal was his previous name. He participated in the Battle of Kartarpur with his father when he was 13 years old. His father changed his name to Tegh Bahadur when he prevailed in the conflict (Mighty of Sword).

Guru Teg Bahadur Jayanti | On April 1, we commemorate Guru Tegh Bahadur's birth anniversary by observing Guru Tegh Bahadur Jayanti. The poor are fed through a variety of events like langars (community food) hosted in gurdwaras. The Sikh community commemorated Guru Tegh Bahadur's 400th birthday, or Prakash Purab, in 2021.

Significance Of Amritsar | Amritsar was the Sikh faith's center at the time. As the seat of the Sikh religion Gurus, and with links to Sikhs throughout the country via ‘masands’ or missionaries, it had taken on the features of a state.

Reflective Disposition | Guru Teg Bahadur has had a very reflective disposition since his youth. Before becoming the Guru, he meditated for several years. His wife also participated in his rigorous contemplative techniques. Like the previous five Sikh Gurus, Guru Teg Bahadur experienced mystical Shabad experiences and shared them via songs. Like Guru Nanak, he travelled to places far and wide, establishing new communities and preserving old ones that no Sikh Guru had visited since Guru Nanak's time.

Hymns And Shlokas | Guru Teg Bahadur wrote many hymns for the Guru Granth Sahib, including the Shlokas, or couplets near the end. Gobind Sahali ordered Guru Tegh Bahadur to build multiple Sikh temples at Mahali after he toured the Mughal Empire. He wrote 116 shabads and 15 ragas, and his bhagats are credited with 782 bani creations in Sikhism. His works can be found in the Guru Granth Sahib. They address many issues, including God's nature, human attachments, the body, mind, sorrow, dignity, service, death, and deliverance.

Battle With Aurangzeb

Guru Gobind Singh’s death was a powerful tribute to the Sikh commitment to interfaith tolerance and the right of each individual to follow their religious path freely.

Forced Conversion Drive | The Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, had launched a brutal conversion campaign in which Hindu leaders were forced to adopt Islam or face torture and death. Several Hindu leaders approached Guru Teg Bahadur and requested that he intercede with Aurangzeb. Guru Teg Bahadur consented while knowing it meant his death. He made the emperor an offer: if the emperor could convert him, all Hindu chiefs would adopt Islam. But in case the Emperor could not convert him, the Hindus would be left alone.

Defeat Of Aurangzeb | Along with three of his Sikhs, Bhai Matti Das, Bhai Sati Das, and Bhai Dayala - Guru Teg Bahadur willingly permitted themselves to be imprisoned and tortured in Aurangzeb's prison. The other three Sikhs were killed. However, Guru Teg Bahadur's torturing persisted.

The emperor would request a miracle from the Guru as proof that he was a holy man. Guru Teg Bahadur, on the other hand, refused to perform any such miracles and refused to convert. Instead, he would question his tormentors, "Why are we wasting our time together in this manner? Instead, we could be pondering and praying together." The emperor eventually understood that his prisoner would not convert. Rather than liberating Guru Teg Bahadur, he had the Guru's head severed.

Full Timeline of the Life of Guru Teg Bahadur

I found astonishing from looking at these original sources was an event that happened which would re-write our understan...

by Harijot Singh Khalsa

Apr 30, 2021

On this 400th Prakash Divas of Guru Teg Bahadur I wanted to create a children's story that involved the Guru when he was young. With the invaluable help of Nihang Gurbaaj Singh (London) we researched historic sources for a story ( The Stillness of Sri Teg Bahadur ): Bansawli Nama, Suraj Prakash Granth and Gurbilas Patshahi 6. In this process I got interested in getting a sense of the age of the various prominent characters in Sikh history during the life of the 9th master. Below I present my timeline of Guru ji's life which states his age and the age of others at every event I could glean from history.

Before getting to the timeline I have to share something astonishing, from looking at these original sources, was an event that happened which would re-write our understanding of Guru Gobind Singh: The Joti Jot of Guru Har Rai. 

You see, the Bansawli Nama (Kesar Singh Chhibar, 1769) is written in chronological order and it tells the story of the birth of Gobind Das BEFORE the story of Guru Har Rai's merging. It is widely accepted that Guru Har Rai left his body in 1661. This means Gobind Das was NOT born in 1666 and is at least 5 years older than mainstream thinking. Though most scholars reject the 1661 date it is directly stated in Guru Kian Sakhia, which is perhaps the earliest source of Sikh history outside of the Vaars of Bhai Gurdas. Guru Kia Sakhia does contain several elements that are found nowhere else so it is viewed cautiously. Nonetheless the corroboration of this date with the Bansawli Nama was enough for me to take the leap, also everything seemed to make sense with this format. But I do keep in mind that it really is anyone's guess at this point and it's not for arguing over.  

The rest of the timeline follows sikhiwiki references and the 400 years app . Again, this is not meant to be authoritative, just an attempt to give a picture in the mind.

-Age 0 (1621) Teg Bahadur is born as the youngest son of Guru Hargobind who is 29. Guru Hargobind was about age 18 with the birth of his first son, Baba Gurditta, who is now 7-8 years old. His mother is Nanki who is age 23 at this birth (married at age 15). Mata Nanki was born in Amritsar, but her family, through her father, are from Bakala where her gentle son would later become quite familiar with.  -Age 0  (1621) Aurangzeb, who would later play a significant role in his life, is a 3-year-old toddler.  -Age 1-5 Elder brother Baba Gurditta is adopted by the son of Guru Nanak: Baba Siri Chand. This signifies that he will be the next head of the Udasi order of Sikh monks.  -Age 3 (1624) Future wife Gujri ji is born in Kartarpur area. -Age 3 (1624) Eldest brother Baba Gurditta (11) marries Ananti (11), also known as 'Mata Natti', today known as Mata Nihal Kaur. Being groomed to be the head of an order of monks this marriage perhaps signifies a planned joining of the Gaddis of Udasi and Guru lineages?  -Age 5 (1626) He achieves the 'age of education'. It is said to learn reading and writing from Bhai Gurdas. Also, that he learned from Baba Buddha, his father the Guru, and Hazrat Mian Mir whenever the saint would visit. -Age 6  (1627) Brother Atal Rai, who is two years older, leaves his body. -Age 6 (1627) Nephew Dhir Mal is born to sister-in-law Mata Natti/elder brother Gurditta. - Age 6  (1627) Emperor Jahangir, who ordered the execution of Guru Arjan and imprisoned Guru Hargobind, dies. His son Shah Jahan takes over as ruler.   -Many formative years go by with death and war, and his marriage: -Age 7 (1628) First battle of Sikhi takes place at Amritsar's Lohgarh fort after emperor Shah Jahan sent his general Mukhlis Khan to 'teach the Sikhs a lesson', but the Guru was victorious. -Age 8 (1629) Second battle of Sikhi: Hargobindpur in defense of the city against local governor Abdullah Khan who was sliced in half by the Guru. -Age 8 (1630) Guru and family move from Amritsar to Kiratpur. He lives there for the next 14 years till moving to Bakala. -Age 8 (1630) Nephew Sri Har Rai is born in Kiratpur from oldest brother Baba Gurditta, who is apparently age 17.  -Age 9 (1631) Third battle of Sikhi: Gurusar, after Bidhi Chand returned 2 horses that belonged to Guru Hargobind.  -Age 9 (1631) Baba Buddha passes away at age of 124. -Age 11 (1632) Marries Gujri ji who is age ~9. -Age 13  (1634) After impressing his father with his courage 16-year-old Aurangzeb attains the highest rank and now commands 10,000 and begins campaigning imperial strength.  -Age 13 (1634) Fourth battle of Sikhi takes place in Kartarpur when Painde Khan turned from ally to foe and convinced emperor Shah Jahan to attack the Guru, but the Sikhs were triumphant. It is said that the reclusive Teg Bahadur tests his steel and “wanders onto the battlefield” (Suraj Prakash). -Age 14 (1635) Mian Mir passes away at age of 85. -Age 15 (1636) Teenage Aurangzeb becomes the governor of Deccan where he expanded power, revenue and land.  -Age 16 (1637) Bhai Gurdas passes away at age of 86. -Age 17 (1638) Eldest brother, head of Udasi order, and would-be succeeding Guru, Baba Gurditta, passes away at age of 24 (a month before Sri Teg Bahadur's 18th birthday).  -Age 17-18 (1638) Guru Hargobind prophesies to Mata Nanki (age 40) about the not well seen greatness of Sri Teg Bahadur and her future grandson (Gobind Das). This incident happened after the merging of Baba Gurditta.  -Age 22  (1643) After 11 years of construction emperor Shah Jahan completes the Taj Mahal.  -Age 22 (1643) Baba Siri Chand merges at age 149. -Age 22 (1644) Guru Hargobind (age 48) merges and appoints the son of Baba Gurditta, 14-year-old nephew Guru Har Rai as successor. -Age 23 (1644) Is said to move and lived in Bakala for the next 12 years, though some say the majority of this time was actually in Patna while he only visited family in Bakala occasionally. -Age 24 (1644) Aurangzeb has a family emergency which leads to increased animosity between himself and Dara Shikoh. Aurangzeb starts making strategic moves against his elder brother.  -Age 25 (1645) Grandnephew Ram Rai is apparently born. -Huge span of time goes without significant events as Sri Teg Bahadur apparently lives to his reputation as a recluse away from the goings on of the community though he is kept in touch be servants and messengers from the Guru's house. It is written in Guru Gobind Singh's biography that his parents did great difficult sadhana practices and became two bodies with one soul. -Age 35 (1656) He is sent on a several (8) year preaching tour by the direction of 26-year-old Guru Har Rai. From this point on Sri Teg Bahadur doesn't rest long in any one place. Wife Sri Gujri ji is 32. -Age 35 (1656) Grandnephew Har Krishan is born to Guru Har Rai and Mata Kishan ji while Teg Bahadur is touring. -Age 37 (1658) Delhi is facing a war of succession as emperor Shah Jahan is too frail to rule. Aurangzeb allies with one brother in order to thwart Dara Shikoh as the rightful heir. It would be around this time that Guru Har Rai gave a rare remedy to Dara Shikoh who may have been poisoned by his brother.  -Age 38  (1659) Forty-one-year-old Aurangzeb wrestles his way on to the throne of India imprisoning one of his brothers, whom he'd just allied with, and one year later executing Dara Shikoh. He puts his father in house arrests in the Agra fort where the patriarch lives the rest of his years. He prides himself in being a hands-on ruler and is seen as relatively tolerant among his courtiers. He titles himself 'conqueror of the world'.  -Age 36-39? In these years Baba Ram Rai impresses the Delhi court and is disowned by Guru Har Rai. The next year, when Sri Teg Bahadur is 40, Guru Har Rai merges and passes Guruship on to nephew Guru Har Krishan.  -Age 40 (1661) The spiritual teacher of the late Dara Shikoh is Sarmad Kashani: a naked mystic who claimed no religion. Sarmad is beheaded by Aurangzeb for heresy after he argued that the Creation and the Creator are one and the same.  -Age 40 (1661) Gobind Das is born in Patna to wife Mata Gujri ji who is now 37. Teg Bahadur first heard the prophecy of his son 22 years ago, when he was 18 and she was 15.  A lot of the entourage, including Gujri ji's brother ‘Mama’ Kirpal ji, all stayed with Gujri ji in Patna.  Mata Gujri either got pregnant during a travel stop in Patna or while living in Patna while her husband generally travelled a lot. Bansawli Nama says that the couple prayed for 5 years and finally God answered them with a child. According to this timeline they apparently started praying for a child near the time the Udasis started.  Sri Teg Bahadur continues Udasi. Wherever his mother Mata Nanki was at this time she would be age 63. She would have waited over 2 decades for the fruition of the prophecy of her grandson the great warrior blazing with light. [From Suraj Prakash: “When the 10th king was born she was filled with bliss. She remembered and meditated on the words of her husband [Guru Hargobind], the glory increased with every passing day.”]  -Age 40 (1661) During his travels (or according to other accounts his long term stay in Patna) nephew Guru Har Rai merges. Gobind Das is less than a year old.  -Age 41 (1662) It takes 1 to 3 years to receive the delayed news of 7th Gurus jyoti jot. Gobind Das is between 1 and 4 years old at this time.  -Age 41 (1662) Bhikan Shah arrives in Patna while Baba Teg Bahadur is traveling, Gobind Das is 1 years old.  -Age 42 (1664) After finally getting the news about the 7th Guru he travels and meets 8th Guru Harkrishan in Delhi apparently for the first, and only, time. One week later the child Guru merges. He was Guru for about 2.5 years. Gobind Das is 3. This means that 8th, 9th and 10th Guru were all alive at the same time. Though they never met, Guru HarKrishan would be only a few years older than Gobind Das, surely they would have been legendary playmates! -Age 42  (1664) Then Sri Teg Bahadur received Gurgaddi  in Bakala on April 16th 1664 which was two days before his 43rd birthday (making Gobind Das ~3 years old).  -Age 43 (1665) Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib ji rides the horse of destiny and does a whirlwind of activity, miracles, traveling and spreading Sikhi. Many gurdwaras are founded marking the steps of the 9th Nanak.   -Age 44 (1665) Guru purchases the land and lays the foundation stone of Chhak Nanki (Anandpur Sahib) and leaves later that same year, continuing his travels.   -Age 45 (1665) Emperor Aurangzeb starts issues many fundamentalist edicts starting with music being disallowed from be played in his court.  -Age 45 (1665) Guru Teg Bahadur is arrested for the first time. The charge from Aurangzeb was that only Muslims can own and train with weapons. Aurangzeb orders the death penalty but is convinced to retract. Guru is kept for 1 month then released. Gobind Das would be 4.  -Age 45 (1666) apparently returns to and then soon leaves Patna to preach in Dhaka on another Udasi (which ends 4 years later when he is arrested a 2nd time) Gobind Das is 5 years old when his father makes this visit. Possibly the first time he’s seen his father since being an infant? This would be the first time seeing him as the holder of the throne of Nanak.  -Age 45  (1666) Shah Jahan dies at the age of 74 after being imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb for 8 years.  -Age 46  (1667) Aurangzeb has a popular mandir in Delhi, Kalka temple, destroyed. The emperor issues an order to replace Hindu officials in his court with Muslims. He also restricts fireworks in order to stop Diwali celebrations. This seemed to foreshadow a growing religious conviction.  -Age 47 (1669) Emperor Aurangzeb issues a general order to destroy mandirs and places of learning of the infidel kaafirs (non-Muslims), as well as suppress the teaching of, and public practice of, their religion. Gobind Das is 8 years old.  -Age 47 (1669) Guru Teg Bahadur reaches Kamrup, converts black magic using witches, and creates peace between neighboring kingdoms.  -Age 48  (1669) Aurangzeb has the great Keshav Rai temple, supposed birthplace of Lord Krishna, destroyed. The following year a mosque built in its place is completed. -Age 49 (1670) Guru is arrested a 2nd time. Guru and accompanying Sikhs were released after 2.5 months. This event seems to end this particular Udasi.  -Age 49 (1670) Guru ji returns to Patna. Sri Gobind Das would be 9 years old. This would mark the third time he's seen his father.  -Age 50 (1671) Preparations for the future are being made. Guru ji spends time in Patna with his 10-year-old son. For the next 4 years he may be grooming his son for leadership. Begins to move to Chhak Nanki: The next Sikh headquarters. -Age 51 (1672) Guru ji, Gobind Das at age 11, and family move to Chhak Nanki. They have an extended stay in Lakhnaur on the way. -Age 53 (1674) Bhai Ghaneya (age 25-26) meets Guru Teg Bahadur in Chhak Nanki which is now blossoming. Sri Gobind Das is 13. -Age 54 (1675) Guru is beseeched by Kashmiri pandits who apparently saw him in a vision. It is said that his son encouraged him to give his life as this was needed to end the animal like behavior of the rulers. Guru ji takes on the challenge and openly states he will stand by the Kashmiris. An arrest warrant is issued against him for defying the emperor.  -Aurangzeb's actions in the life of Guru Teg Bahadur are a preview of the destruction he would go on to enact. During his reign thousands of mandirs were destroyed, countless more were damaged. In the six major regions of Hindu learning and worship no temple was left unmolested .   -Age 54 (1675) 7 months have passed since receiving the arrest warrant, in that time Guru Teg Bahadur wrote poetry and taught the masses the impermanence of our reality. Guru ji notifies authorities of his presence in Agra while on his way to Delhi. He is arrested for a 3rd and final time. While in prison he anoints his only son as Guru:  Gobind Das inherits Guruship at age 14.  He later writes in ‘apuni katha’ (bachitr natak dasam granth) that when he had ‘reached the age of reason’ his father went to the realm of angels. Guru Teg Bahadur achieves martyrdom  (like his grandfather Guru Arjan Dev) along with Bhai Mati Das , his younger brother  Bhai Sati Das  as well as  Bhai Dyal Das . ~Mata Gujri ji was 51 when she became a widow. She lived on for another 30 years (age 81), when she oversaw the martyrdom of the Chhote Sahibzade. She intimately interacted with 4 Gurus (Guru HarKrishan she perhaps never had darshan of). Her father-in-law was Guru Hargobind, her husband was Guru Teg Bahadur, her son was Guru Gobind Singh and grandsons were Sahibzaade. Among Mata ji's her name is mentioned more than most, she played a strong role during the reign of her son.  ~Mata Nanki was 77 years old when her son was martyred. She passed away at 80, 3 years later. In that time, she could witness Guru Gobind Das presiding as Guru and become a strong young man at the age of 17. Her eyes had years to behold the fulfilment of the prophecy she heard about 40 years prior. She was the daughter in law of Guru Arjun, wife of Guru Hargobind, mother of Guru Teg Bahadur, Grandmother of Guru Gobind Singh and great grandmother of Sahibzade. Of all Matas she perhaps had darshan of more Gurus than anyone: 5th Guru onwards.  -Aurangzeb continued to rule for 3 decades more. His zeal for destroying non-Muslim ways continued. He went on to impose a tax on non-Muslims and destroy many more places of worship. He was eventually chastised by Guru Gobind Singh for breaking an oath he swore on the Quran and for the killing of the younger Sahibzade. He died with regret in his heart.  ~The lineage of these Matas and their accompanying husbands, the Gurus, live on forever:  In the eyes of Dasam Pita the Khalsa are equal to his own sons. Whoever embodies the commitment and teachings of our Guru Father also inherits the Sahibzade as brothers, the Matas as mother (specifically Mata Sahib), Guru Teg Bahadur and grandfather, Guru Hargobind as great grandfather, Guru Arjan as great great grandfather and Guru Ram Das as great great great grandfather (just as was the case for the Sahibzade).

I know while composing this timeline it brought a certain impression in the mind, I do feel closer to Guru ji from getting into these details, I hope this effort inspires you as well.

Guru Teg Bahadur: Ninth Sikh Guru (1621-1675)

Sikh Art by Kanwar Singh – https://artofpunjab.com

Estimated Lesson Length : 40 Minutes

This lesson will share information about Guru Teg Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru.

Guru Teg Bahadur was born in Amritsar, India and breathed his last in Delhi, India. He was the youngest son of Guru Hargobind. His mother was Mata Nanki Ji. His wife was Mata Gujri Ji. He was the grandson of Guru Arjan Dev and his son was Gobind Rai who later became Guru Gobind Singh.

From the time of his youth, Guru Teg Bahadur had a deeply meditative nature. He spent many years before becoming the Guru in meditation. His wife participated with him in his rigorous meditative practices. Like the first five Sikh Gurus, Guru Teg Bahadur had mystical experiences of the  Shabad  and shared his experiences through song. Like Guru Nanak, he travelled far and wide – establishing new communities and nurturing existing communities that hadn’t been visited by any of the Sikh Gurus since the time of Guru Nanak.

The end of his life was a tremendous testament to the Sikh commitment of inter-faith tolerance and the right of each individual to follow his or her own religious path freely. The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb had begun a vicious campaign of conversion – where the Hindu leaders were asked to accept Islam or suffer inhumane torture and death. A group of Hindu leaders came to Guru Teg Bahadur and asked them to intercede on their behalf with Aurangzeb. Knowing it meant his own death, Guru Teg Bahadur agreed. He made an offer to the Emperor – that if the Emperor could convert him, all of the Hindu leaders would accept Islam. But if the Emperor could not convert him, then the Hindus would be left in peace.

Guru Teg Bahadur, along with three of his Sikhs – Bhai Matti Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayala, willingly allowed themselves to be locked in Aurangzeb’s prison and subjected to truly horrific torture. The three Sikhs died. Guru Teg Bahadur’s torture, however, continued. The Emperor would ask the Guru for some sign that he was a holy many – some miracle. But Guru Teg Bahadur refused to perform any miracles and refused to convert. Instead, he would ask his torturers, “Why are we spending our time together this way? We could be meditating and praying together, instead.” Eventually, the Emperor realized that his prisoner would not convert. Rather than freeing Guru Teg Bahadur, he ordered the Guru’s head to be chopped off.

Before agreeing to go to prison, Guru Teg Bahadur had written a note to the Emperor to be delivered to the Emperor after the Guru’s death. When the note was delivered, Guru Teg Bahadur had written very simply. “This, then, is the greatest miracle. That I gave my head, but not my faith.”

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji established Anandpur Sahib – the Haven of Bliss. He made supreme sacrifice to protect the Hindus and accepted execution instead of converting to Islam.

Short Biography

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was son of 6th Guru Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji. Before being appointed on Gurgaddi Son of his Brother Gurditta - Guru Har Rai , and later Guru Har Rai's son Harkrishan was throned to Guruship according to the present circumstances then.

Hearing that the last Guru had referred to the new Guru being found at Bakala, many claimants to the Throne set up their Gaddis there and created much confusion in the minds of the Sikhs as to who in fact the Guru was.

But devout Sikhs found out about Tegh Bahadur and installed him as the Guru at the age of 44. One of his rivals, Dhirmal, grandson of Guru Har Rai, even tried to take his life and a shot was fired at him, and his house was ransacked.

Tegh Bahadur escaped with minor injuries but did not get provoked. However, the Sikhs attacked Dhirmal’s house and took possession of all his property, including the original copy of the Adi Granth which the Sikhs revered much and which Dhirmal had looted away. The Guru, however, not only returned the property to Dhirmal but, it is said, deposited the copy of the Adi Granth in a safe bed of the river Beas while he was on his way to Kiratpur and sent word to Dhirmal, against the wishes of his Sikhs, to recover it from there.

This copy, now lying at Kartarpur with the descendants of Dhirmal, still shows signs at the borders of having been soiled by water. With this, however, his troubles did not end, for elsewhere too, he was facing hostility. He went to Amritsar to pay his homage at the Golden Temple, but the custodians shut its doors upon him.

Foundation of Anandpur Sahib and Visit to Assam

He left Bakala to live at Kiratpur, but here too Dhirmal’s followers caused much annoyance to him. The Guru thereupon purchased a piece of land in the Shivalik hills and founded upon it the city of Anandpur (now in the district of Hoshiarpur). Here too, he found no peace and moved out in the Malwa region, and from there to Haryana, preaching his Gospel and digging up wells and tanks on way for use of the peasants of that arid land. His travels caused such consternation in Aurangzeb’s mind that he got him arrested. But due to the mediation of Raja Ram Singh, a Rajput General of Aurangzeb, the matter was amicably settled.

Thereafter, the Guru went towards the east, visiting on way the historic cities of Agra, Allahabad, Banaras, Gaya, and Patna. Leaving his family at Patna, he went to Dhaka. Thus, the whole eastern region right up to Assam was studded with Sikh shrines due to the missionary zeal of the Sikhs.

While he was in Assam, his friend, Raja Ram Singh, came with an expeditionary force against Assam and came to the Guru to seek his blessings. Many expeditions had been sent by Aurangzeb before too, but the Assamese Were unbeaten. This time much more bloodshed would have ensued to ensure the victory of the imperial forces but es for the intervention of the Guru who negotiated a settlement between the two parties. A Sikh temple stands at this place, called Dhubri, in memory of this event.

Meanwhile, a son had been born to the Guru at Patna, but the Guru, getting urgent summons from his followers in the Panjab, hastened back to his native land, taking good care that his son was brought up at Patna according to the traditions of his House. In the Panjab and Kashmir, he found the Hindus and Sikhs’ greatly terrorized on account of the bigoted policies of Aurangzeb, and put his heart into them to face the situation with calmness and courage.

He invited his family also to join him at Anandpur, but he soon left them again for a tour of the country right up to Agra. On the way, he was received with a great ovation; people became his followers in large numbers and made offerings to him. The Emperor was receiving alarming reports that the Guru was gathering great strength and instilling a spirit of resistance against forcible conversions and exactions.

Visit of Kashmiri Pundits and Martyrdom

When the Pundits of Kashmir had visited him at Anandpur earlier, seeking his help to save their faith, for they were being harassed into changing their religion, the Guru’s reply to them was, “Don’t be afraid, nor make others so. I shall much rather lay down my head than that any harm comes to you. You may tell Aurangzeb’s governor that if he can convert me, you will also follow suit.”

Undoubtedly, he would have preached similarly to others as well, on his tour later. Aurangzeb decided to take no chances and once again issued orders for his arrest. He was taken prisoner near Sirhind and kept prisoner there for about four months, before being shifted to Delhi in chains.

He was asked either to accept Islam or death and he chose death. He refused to show a miracle to save his life. And in November 1675, he too was beheaded in the Chandni Chowk of Delhi where stands a great monument, Sis Ganj, to his memory. His body lay writhing there with orders that no one would take it. However, a Sikh carter got hold of his body in the dark of night and cremated it with, great respect burning his house along with it, to escape notice. His head was carried off by another ‘low-caste Sikh who took it to Anandpur where his son, Gobind, was.

The head was cremated there with full honors, his son swearing at this time that he would now create a body of the Sikhs who would not be able to hide their identity as they had done at the time of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s death when no one had come forward in Delhi to claim his dead body, for fear of being identified and so persecuted by the Emperor.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦੁਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ) was the ninth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism, becoming Guru on Saturday, 16 April 1664 following in the footsteps of his grand-nephew, Guru Harkrishan.

Guru Har Rai Sahib was the Son of Baba Gurdita and Mata Nihal Kaur (also known as Mata Ananti Ji). Baba Gurdita was son of the Sixth Guru Guru Hargobind Sahib. Guru Har Rai Sahib married Mata Kishan Kaur (sometimes also referred to as Sulakhni) the daughter of Sri Daya Ram . Guru Har Rai had and two sons: Baba Ram Rai and Guru Harkrishan.

• He built the city that his son would enlarge and rename Anandpur Sahib. • He travelled extensively throughout India. • He sacrificed his own life, facing down EmperorAurangzeb on behalf of the Kashmiri Hindus, ending Aurangzeb's threat to either convert to Islam or be executed. • He contributed 115 hymns to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, all of them Sloks. • His Saloks (Mahal 9) near the end of the Guru Granth Sahib are extremely popular.

Baba Makhan Shah was about to leave the village when a child told him of yet another holy man meditating nearby who made no claims about himself. Again Baba Makhan Shah bowed and gave 2 gold pieces and turned to leave. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji said: "Why have you broken your promise? When you prayed to God to save you and your ship from the terrible storm you promised 500 gold pieces to the Guru" . Makhan Shah was overjoyed, he gave the rest of the gold as promised and ran to the roof shouting "The True Guru has been found, O Sikhs come seek his blessing". The false Gurus all ran away.

Guru Tegh Bahadur

As had been the custom since Guru Hargobind, Guru Tegh Bahadur kept a splendid lifestyle. He had his armed attendance and other marks of royalty. But he himself lived austerely. Sikh or other documents make no mention of any clash with the ruling power having occurred during his time.

Visit to Sri Harmandir Sahib

Guru Tegh Bahadur waited nearby for a little while. This place is now known as 'Gurdwara Thara Sahib' - the Pillar of Patience. But when the doors were not opened, Guru Ji went away and stayed in a nearby village of Vallah in the humble dwelling of a peasant couple. Later, the women of Amritsar came out and repented for the shameful behaviour of the masands of Amritsar. Highly pleased at the sincere devotion and courage of the women of Amritsar, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji said, "Ever blessed by God be the women of Amritsar."

Mission Starts in Punjab

However, the Guru did not stay at Anandpur or Kiratpur for long; he left most of its construction to be done during his absence.

Mission to the East

The Guru smiled and said, "My friends, one cannot be purified simply by washing one's body since the polluted mind cannot be washed with water. It is only the True Name of Almighty God that can wash away all sins and emancipate the soul." By these means, the Guru imparted the message of Guru Nanak and dispelled superstition and empty ritualistic behaviour.

Birth of Gobind Rai

At his post outside the room, Kirpal Chand heard the infant take his first breath and immediately, he turned to dispatch the courier who stood by awaiting the signal to seek out the Guru and deliver the news of his son's birth. Thus Gobind Rai was born in the city of Patna in Bihar, East India.

Return to Punjab

Gobind Rai was escorted to Anandpur (then known as Chakk Nanaki) on the foothills of the Sivaliks where he reached in March 1672 and where his early education included reading and writing of Punjabi, Braj, Sanskrit and Persian. He was barely nine years of age when a sudden turn came in his life as well as in the life of the community he was destined to lead.

Oppression by the Mughals

P.N.K. Bamzi's book, A History of Kashmir describes the events: Iftikhar Khan… …was using force to convert the Pandits in Kashmir to Islam. Some pious men among the Pandits then met and decided to go to Amarnath and invoke the mercy of Lord Siva (at their sacred cave:editor) for deliverance from the tyrannies of the bigot. At the Amarnath cave, one of the pandits saw in a dream Lord Siva, who told him to go to Tegh Bahadur, the Ninth Sikh Guru, in the Punjab and ask for his help to save the Hindu religion. He spoke to his companions about the revelation. About 500 proceeded to Anandpur where Guru Tegh Bahadur was living.

Kashmiri Pandits and Guru Tegh Bahadur

Orders of the arrest of the Guru were issued by Aurangzeb, who was in the present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan subduing Pushtun rebellion.

Guru Gobind Becomes 10th Sikh Guru

Guru Tegh Bahadur then left Anandpur for Delhi with 3 other Sikhs who knew as well the danger they were to face, Bhai Sati Das, Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Dayal Das.

Arrest, Torture and Execution - Journey to Martyrdom

The Guru was put in chains and ordered to be tortured until he would accept Islam. When he could not be persuaded to abandon his faith to save himself from persecution, he was asked to perform some miracles to prove his divinity. Refusing to do so, Tegh Bahadur was beheaded in public at Chandni Chowk on 24 November 1675. The Guru is also known as "Hind Di Chadar" i.e. "The Shield of India", suggesting that he gave up his life to protect the religious freedom of non Muslims in Mughal India.

Joti Jot (Merging with God)

It was recognised that Guru Tegh Bahadur gave his life for freedom of religion, ensuring that Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists were able to follow and practice their beliefs without hindrance. Guru Tegh Bahadur was executed for political reasons, along with fellow devotees Bhai Mati Dass, Bhai Sati Dass and Bhai Dayalaa.

Table of Contents

He was also skilled in martial arts and fought bravely in battles with his father. Because of his bravery, he was called “Tegh Bahadur,” which means “Mighty of the Sword.”

Spiritual Leadership (1664-1675)

He taught people about the importance of meditation, selfless service, and devotional singing.

Key Events During Guru Teg Bahadur Ji’s Leadership

Champion of Religious Freedom

During Guru Teg Bahadur Ji’s time, the Mughal Empire was forcing people to convert to Islam. He saw Hindus suffering because of this and decided to help them. He traveled peacefully around the country and talked to people about why forced conversions were wrong. Many people respected him for this, but it made the Mughal emperor angry because he didn’t like anyone who opposed his rules.

Ultimate Sacrifice and Legacy

In 1675, Guru Teg Bahadur Ji was arrested in Agra for going against the emperor’s orders. He was taken to Delhi, where he was given a chance to escape punishment if he became a Muslim, but he refused. He was tortured, but he didn’t give up his beliefs. On November 11, 1675, he was killed.

Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur: A true saviour of mankind

Humanity will ever be indebted to the supreme sacrifice made by the 9th Sikh Guru Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, a great warrior, spiritual personality and lover of the motherland. He propagated the message of universal brotherhood and religious freedom. He sacrificed everything for the sake of righteousness, mother land and the rights of people irrespective of their castes and faiths. That is why he was crowned with the rare honour of ‘Hind Di Chadar.’ As we celebrate the 400th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, we need to recommit ourselves to his great ideals which teach us about the importance of religious freedom and welfare of mankind and the motherland.

In an unparalleled manner Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji taught us to fearlessly lead a free life. He did not surrender to extreme tortures heaped upon him and his family by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb but endured them with a divine calmness. His transformation from Tyaga Mal to Tegh Bahadur is a story of ultimate religious firmness, propriety, morality and bravery with very few parallels in human history. He sacrificed his life but did not shun the path of truth and probity. Such was the power of his divinity that he remained in deep meditation when his disciples were butchered in front of him. He was immersed in meditation when he himself made the supreme sacrifice. Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji said that religion is not a religion but a duty, and an ideal way of life.

Today’s young generation needs to take inspiration from the life, character and sacrifice of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, and adopt humane and moral values and move forward so that India again becomes the Vishwa Guru. He refused to bow to tyranny and injustice. He chose to traverse on the path of ideals and principles. A delegation of Kashmiri Pandits went to meet Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji at today’s Shri Anandpur Sahib, also known as Chakk Nanaki. After giving a patient hearing to them, he asked them to tell Aurangzeb or his men that they will give up their religion only if their Guru does so.

The subsequent gory acts of Aurangzeb were so horrible that even today one shivers to recall them. Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji along with his three devotees – Bhai Sati Das, Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Dayala were made captive! The sublime trio were executed in front of their Guru when they refused to convert to Islam. They made the supreme sacrifice for the sake of dharma. Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was unfazed and embraced martyrdom in the year 1675. Gurudwara Shish Ganj Sahib in Chandani Chowk, Old Delhi, epitomizes the ultimate saga of ‘tyaag’ and ‘balidaan’ with no match in known human history. Bhai Jaita Singh took the holy ‘shish’ of Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji to Shri Anandpur Sahib, one of the holiest places for Sikhs in the world.

His sacrifices not only saved an ancient civilization and culture premised on the principle of ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam’ from extinction but also served as a watershed moment in our collective pursuits to emerge as a determined and inclusive nation. Foundation of Sikhism was not an ordinary development in human history but one which became the shield for humanity against all forms of atrocities. It was and is still a great tradition which 9th Sikh Guru Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji not only preserved and strengthened people’s resolve to protect their religion but took Sikhism to the next level of greatness.

Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji knew that his devotees paid the price for the sake of religion without any remorse. They rejected all allurements, bore all pains and hardships meted out to them but they did not shed any tears. Their commitment and faith in the cause of religion was unwavering. The life of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur is one of monumental sacrifices made for the sake of dharma and mankind. He did not give in to the cruelty of Aurangzeb. His answer to every question was – I am a Sikh and will remain a Sikh!

The lessons we need to derive from the teachings and sacrifice of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji are many and multifaceted. His sacrifice, his belief in truth, non-violence and a benevolent approach towards all are so inspiring for us even today. He fought against superstitions, caste-based discrimination and untouchability so that every human being should lead a life of his choice. Religion is a duty for all. A true religion teaches us to be good to all and serve society and people in the best possible manner. He stood up for the weak and underprivileged. His son Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji not only upheld his father’s principles and values but took them forward by creating the Khalsa, a scintillating symbol of fight for righteousness and justice.

We need to remember the great words of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji – “We must live our lives in the same way in happiness and sorrow and in honour and humiliation.” His teachings give us lessons in the purpose of life and importance of equality, harmony and renunciation. The great ‘shabads’ of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji are an everlasting source of energy and enlightenment for humanity. His melodious recital of ‘shabads’ of Gurus by him used to have an electrifying effect on devotees. He fought against the despotic and fanatic ruler in the most peaceful and humane manner. His teachings are timeless and will continue to inspire generations to come. The life of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur teaches us to face every situation with total calm and firmness without deviating from the path of propriety, and build a social order based on amity, justice, equality and harmony.

His heart was very kind and soft. His nature was very polite and demeanor was very simple. Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji loved Guru Tegh Bahadar very much. People always used to say, “He (Tegh Bahadur) has come with a divine identity since birth.” 

Education and other training

Guru Hargobind knew that Tegh Bahadur would be very brave and benevolent, so he insisted on all necessary training for him. He was handed over to Bhai Gurdas ji for literacy (different education). After this he was sent to Baba Budha ji to learn the importance of labor and other virtues. Bhai Jetha ji was entrusted with the task of teaching scriptures. Apart from this, Tegh Bahadur ji also studied Gurbani very deeply. Horse riding was also good Father Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji was very happy to see your Shastri education. Guru Hargobind ji used to say to his child that one day our son would surely be rich in running the teg and when he grew up he did the same, both devotion and power remained with him. 

Preparation for war by Guru Hargobind

Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji had issued an order from the Akal Takht to the Sikh Sangat to face the Mughals, that all Sikhs should offer only arms and horses in the offering. Guruji himself also wore two swords – Meeri and Piri (of devotion and power). Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji fought four heavy battles.

Guru Tegh Bahadur ji was engaged to Lal Chand and Mata Bishan Kaur’s daughter Gujri at Kiratpur Sahib and they were married in March 1622 at Kartarpur Sahib. It is said about the life of Mata Gujri ji, that she is the greatest woman in Sikh history, herself a martyr, whose husband, son Guru Gobind Singh, whose four grandchildren Baba Ajit Singh, Baba Jujhar Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh, Baba Fateh Singh Shaheed and whose brother Kripal Chand is also martyr. That’s why she is the greatest woman in Sikh history.

Death of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji

In his last days, Guru Hargobind entrusted the responsibility of gurugaddi to Shri Harrai ji, the son of Gurdita ji, the elder brother of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. Mata Nanaki ji had asked the 6th Patshah about her son (Guru Tegh Bahadur) and he said, “There is no need to worry” he too will get his due in due  course. On March 3, 1644, Guru Hargobind Sahib ji joined the Jyoti Jot.  

Guru Tegh Bahadur’s residence in Bakale

After the death of Guru Hargobind ji, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji along with his mother Nanaki and wife Mata Gujri came to his maternal grandmother Bakale. He started doing bhakti in solitude in a kutcha building here. His mind was always on the work of protecting the welfare of the people and religion, he also used to think that how the destiny of the country can be changed. He did penance at Bhora Sahib for 26 years, 9 months and 13 days. 

Twenty-two Gaddia (22 hypocritical gurus) in Bakala

Guru Tegh Bahadur ji’s elder brother Gurdita ji’s son Shri Harrai ji and after him Shri Harakrishna ji, the son of Guru Shri Harrai ji got the Guru Gaddi. All the gurus had tried to convince the Mughals in their own way, but the Mughals ignored their words. Guru Harkrishna ji knew that only the sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji could stop the atrocities of the Mughals. Only after their sacrifice will the oppressed/sleeping people rise/wake up. So when he started going to Sachkhand, then he said the words for the successor of the next Gurugaddi – 

                           Baba Basahi village Bakale.

                     Bani Gur, Sangat Sakal Samale.

Which meant that the next successor will meet you in Bakale who are doing penance there, saying so much Guru Harkrishna ji got hold of the joti on March 30, 1664. After the departure of Guru Harkrishan ji, all the hypocrites in Bakala started calling themselves the real gurus and everyone took their respective thrones in Bakala.  

Saving the sinking ship of Bhai Makhan Shah

Bhai Makhan was a big businessman of Shah ji. He used to trade by sea. One day when his ship was returning with passengers and luggage, a storm struck on the way. Due to the strong storm, the ship was unable to move forward and the danger of sinking the ship was increasing. Bhai Makhan Shah ji’s eyes fell on a Sikh who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and absorbed in the devotion of the Lord. Seeing this Bhai Makhan Shah ji went to him and asked that the ship is in danger, there is a huge storm and there is no way to escape. How are you sitting so quiet? Do you have solution for this?

The Sikh replied, “There is nothing to fear. Pray at the holy feet of Guru Nanak Dev ji, he can help us in this hour of trouble and he will sail our fleet.” Hearing this, everyone started praying to Guru Nanak Dev ji, and all of them got absorbed in devotion. And forgot the danger of the ship sinking. All those names were engaged in Simran, when suddenly they realized that someone had shouldered the ship and put it on the shore. When the ship made a sudden jolt, everyone’s eyes were opened and they saw that they were all out of the storm.

Bhai Makhan Shah asked the Sikh of the Guru, “Where is the holy house of Guru Nanak Dev Ji”? The Sikh of the Guru said, “Nowadays his ninth soul/heir is sitting on his throne and he is doing penance at Bakala.” Hearing this, Bhai Makhan Shah said, “I will also go to see Baba ji with you and present 500 gold seals to him, who protected us and our property in the storm.” As the shipwreck landed, he and his companions decided to head to the village of Bakale.

True Guru Ladho Re 

Bhai Makhan Shah left for Bakale village with his companions. He went to Buckle and saw that the Guru was sitting on 22 mattresses/beds. Who is the real Guru? Who saved us from the storm? All these questions could not be answered because everyone was calling themselves the real gurus. Seeing all this Bhai Makhan Shah advised his companions that he would bow down to each Guru with 5 pieces each, who would be the real Guru, he would himself ask for the promised amount. He did the same and went ahead with 5-5 seals but no one made any demand. Thus Bhai Makhan Shah tested that there is no true Guru among them, all are hypocrites.

Seeing all this, Bhai Makhan Shah asked a villager, “Is any other Guru living here?” He said, “There lives a devotee named Tega, he does not do any hypocrisy, nor does he call himself a guru, he lives in a mud house and gets little from anyone.” The villagers dropped Bhai Makhan Shah at the Guru’s house. Bhai Makhan Shah expressed the hope that it was the same Guru who had helped him. When he reached home, he requested to meet Guruji, but Mata Nanaki said that Guru Tegh refused to meet anyone. But Bhai Makhan Shah said that we have come from far away and we have to go back. Hearing this, the mother brought them inside. Bhai Makhan Shah was astonished to see inside, there was a divine, spiritual idol in front of him. He tried to test you by placing 5 seals in front of you and bowed down. Then Guru ji said, “Just brothers, Sikhs, these 5 seals, You promised 500 pieces during the storm, now you have not kept your promise. It was very hard to get the ship out of the storm. Saying this, Guruji lifted the cloth from his shoulder. . Bhai Makhan Shah was astonished to see Guruji’s wounds which were still fresh and the marks of the ship’s forts were also visible. Seeing this, he fell at the feet of Guru ji and said that you saved him from drowning, showed the way to the wandering and donated life to the dead. Bhai Makhan Shah came out saying ‘Guru Ladho Re’, ‘Guru Ladho Re’ in his mind. He showed the way to the wandering and gave life to the dead. Bhai Makhan Shah came out saying ‘Guru Ladho Re’, ‘Guru Ladho Re’ in his mind. He showed the way to the wandering and gave life to the dead. Bhai Makhan Shah came out saying ‘Guru Ladho Re’, ‘Guru Ladho Re’ in his mind.

He went to his place at night and made a dress. As per the order of the Guru, whoever seeks the Guru, his face will turn black. He got up in the morning, put the clothes on a plate, the price of the promise, and took ashes from the langar/kitchen house and applied it on his face. He, along with his comrades at Bakale, shouted ‘Guru Ladho Re’, ‘Guru Ladho Re’ and appeared before Guru Maharaj. He dressed Guru ji and Guru ji said, ‘You have fulfilled the Guru’s words by sooting your face.’ Hearing this, Bhai Makhan Shah fell at his feet and said, ‘Your Majesty, if you had stayed hidden, the Sikhs would have gone astray and the Guru’s glory would have been diminished. Now please take this responsibility and guide us. When everyone came to know about this, then on April 6, 1664, Guru Tegh Bahadur was consecrated by Bhai Gurditta. Thus the True Guru appeared before the people.

After getting the Guru Gaddi, Guru Tegh Bahadar Ji started campaigning. He went to Amritsar Sahib, Tarn Taran Sahib, Khadoor Sahib, Malwa, Saab Ki Talwandi etc. and guided the people. Then you reached Sri Anandpur Sahib. 

Establishment of Anandpur Sahib by Guru Ji

Guru ji had bought land for the construction of Sri Anandpur Sahib on 19 June 1665 from Bhim Chand’s father, Dalip Chand, worth one lakh 57 thousand rupees. The city was named Chak Nanaki and later renamed as Sri Anandapur. Guru ji laid great emphasis on its construction, good artisans were called. The artisans started permanent work in the market, on the roads, in the house. At this place Bhai Makhan Shah Lubana asked Guru ji to bid farewell and said, ‘Bless me wherever I go, wherever I may be, I may have your darshan. Guruji said that I will always be with you by chanting Gurbani.

Guru ji set out on a pilgrimage on October 3, 1665, handing over the construction work of Shri Anandpur Sahib to the servitors. He cured the smallpox disease of Mata Karmo Dei in Laihal village (Patiala) where there is now Gurdwara Dukhnivaran Sahib. In Sekhan, Choudhary’s ego was broken and in Bhaini, the upper caste people’s ego was broken. Now Gurdwara Gurusar Shishobhit is situated at this place. While traveling and guiding the people, Guru ji reached Bhopal again at Sabo ki Talwandi and guided the sinners, the arrogant, the angry and asked them to follow the straight path. The matter of his glory had become a matter of concern for Aurangzeb. He gave a message to you ji that if you are a pir then do miracles. From there you started towards Delhi. When you reached Delhi, about 30 with you. 000 Sikh Sangat. You were brought with respect to Aurangzeb. There was a direct conversation with Aurangzeb. When Aurangzeb asked you to perform miracles, you said, “Miracles is the name of havoc.” Many things happened between Aurangzeb and Guru Tegh Bahadar. Impressed by his words, Aurangzeb had to say, “Guru Tegh Bahadur is a fakir. They live in the will of Allah and God is the only support they have.” Saying this Aurangzeb fell silent. 

You reached Mathura from Delhi, then reached Agra, Kanpur, Prayag (Allahabad), Mirzapur and then Banaras. Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s feet were lying in Banaras, so Guru Tegh Bahadar was very happy to come there. In Banaras, you had removed the code of a cod. 

You reached Gaya from Banaras, then Patna in May 1666 AD. You had rested in a garden outside the city of Patna, which is now the Gurdwara Guru-ka-Bagh. Then the people of Patna brought you to their homes with respect and gradually you made your place of residence in Patna itself. You spent most of the time in Patna, then you went ahead for campaigning by handing over the responsibility of family members to your maternal uncle Kirpal, Bhai Diyala Ji, Bhai Santiya Ji and other Sikhs. 

Birth of Guru Gobind Singh Ji  

 Guru Tegh Bahadar reached Dhaka giving his sermons. He was still in Dhaka when, on 26 December 1666, the news of the birth / arrival of Guru Gobind Singh came from Patna. He thanked the sangat of Patna and named the boy Gobind. Sweets and money were distributed among the poor.

During the journey, he made a picture of himself as per his mother’s wish. This photo is in the Victoria Museum, Calcutta. After that you set out on a journey to Assam. He left for Patna from Assam. After reaching Patna, he spent time with his son. You stayed here for 3 months and preached to the sangat and left your family there and went to Punjab. You reached Sri Anandpur Sahib from Karnal via Delhi. 

This is where Bhai Ghaniya ji had come to meet you. You asked them to carry a pot of water and serve water and promised that you would serve water to the enemies even on the battlefield without any discrimination. Bhai Ghaniya ji used to come to Shri Anandpur Sahib every year and was engaged in the service of water.

When the construction work of the city of Shri Anandpur Sahib was completed, then you called Guru Gobind Singh Ji with his family to Shri Anandpur Sahib. After spending some time with the family, you left the family and went on a tour of Malwa in 1673 AD. You returned to Sri Anandpur Sahib in November 1674 when you learned that Aurangzeb had crossed the Punjab border on his own to suppress the rebellion of Khatak and Afridi.

Aurangzeb’s atrocities  

Aurangzeb ascended the throne in 1658 AD by imprisoning his father Shah Jahan and killing his brothers. Because of his behavior, no Islamic country gave him importance. So to restore his prestige, he started propagating/spreading Muslim religion. He started persecuting non-Muslims and Sufi saints. He started demolishing Hindu temples and schools and also killing Sufi saints for Muslim propaganda. Aurangzeb was fond of seeing miracles/enchantments. He used to see miracles from the mystics. Whenever Sufi saints were imprisoned, they were told this, Either show miracles or else adopt death. He had banned the making and selling of pottery (toys). He had also banned raga. People were deeply saddened by his atrocities. He used to force people to convert to Islam and some people were fed up with his atrocities and converted to Islam. 

Aurangzeb wanted to spread Islam all over India. For this he had chosen Kashmir. There were many reasons for choosing Kashmir because Kashmiri Pandits lived there, who were considered very learned and famous. He thought that if Pandits became Muslims, it would be easy to convert others. The second reason was that, as Kashmir was close to Kabul and Peshawar, soldiers could come to India in the name of jihad if needed.

Aurangzeb made Afghan Khan the governor/governor of Kashmir to fulfill his plans and Afghan Khan banned visiting temples and holding religious fairs. Troubled by the atrocities, Kashmiri Pandits decided to go on a journey to Amarnath. Going to the cave of Amarnath, he prayed for the relief of his sorrows and it is said that a voice came from inside the cave, ‘You go to Guru Tegh Bahadur, who is seated on the throne of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, ask your Pray for the removal of sorrows, so that Hinduism can be protected. Guru Tegh Bahadur is the only one on earth who will be able to protect you.

Kashmiri Pandits’ plea

Kashmiri Pandits reach Sri Anandpur Sahib. After reaching there, Pandit Kirpa Ram pleaded in front of Guru ji that we are deeply saddened by Aurangzeb’s atrocities. He wants to destroy Hinduism. You are an incarnation of God, you can protect Hinduism by holding our arm. Now no one can protect us except you. Pandit kept narrating his sad story and requested Guru ji that we have come under your shelter, save us from persecution/atrocities. Hearing all this, Guru ji made up his mind that now by sacrificing himself to the Mughals It’s time to be ashamed.

At the same time, the boy Gobind came to the court playing outside. He asked the reason for the Pandits talking to Guruji, then Guruji said, “Son, this is a Kashmiri Pandit. They are very sad, Aurangzeb wants to convert them to Muslims and they have come to us for help.” Hearing this, Bal Gobind said, “With what kind of help can their sorrows be resolved?” Responding to Bal Gobind’s point, Guru ji said, “Only the sacrifice of a great person can save the Hindu religion”. Then Bal Gobind spontaneously said, “Father, there can be no other great person than you. “

Guruji was moved to hear Bal Gobind’s words. Guruji hugged his son and said, “Son, this is what I expected from you. You have now become worthy of the throne. After my sacrifice, you have to take care of all this.” Saying this Guruji started addressing the Pandits, Guruji said, “Send my message to Aurangzeb that Guru Tegh Bahadur is our Agu (Guru). Not all of you, only show them by getting them to accept Islam, if they accept Islam then we will all accept Islam. Hearing all this, Kashmiri Pandits got relief/satisfaction and they started towards Kashmir. 

Guru Tegh Bahadur’s preparation for Delhi 

Satisfied with Guruji, Pandit returned to Kashmir and told the governor that if you make Guru Tegh Bahadur a Muslim, then we will also become a Muslim. When the governor told this to Aurangzeb, Aurangzeb thought that if by converting a fakir to Islam, everyone automatically becomes a Muslim, then what is the need of persecuting the rest of us? Thinking this, he ordered Guruji to be arrested. As soon as he got the news, Guruji started preparing to go to Delhi. On 8 July 1675, he handed over the throne to Guru Gobind Singh and on 11 July, Guruji left for Delhi with Panch Singh (Bhai Dayala Ji, Bhai Sati Das Ji, Bhai Mati Das Ji, Bhai Gurditta Ji and Bhai Uday Ji). . The rest of the sangat also wanted to go with Guruji, but Guruji refused.

Agra arrest and torture of Guru Tegh Bahadur

When Guru Tegh Bahadur ji reached Agra, he was arrested by the Mughal army. Bhai Dayala ji, Bhai Sati Das ji and Bhai Mati Das ji were also arrested with him. The other two Sikhs (Bhai Gurdita ji and Bhai Uday ji) were forbidden from being arrested by Guruji. He was given the responsibility of handling the post-genocide occasion and delivering the news to Sri Anandpur Sahib. In Delhi, you were imprisoned in an iron cage at the Kotwali of Chandni Chowk. You were tortured to stand in a cage continuously and many other types of torture, but a different divine light kept shining on his face and you remained stable. The martyrdom of all the three Sikhs was done in front of you so that you can change your decision, but you remain adamant. You kept courage and patience and thanked that God all the time. 

Guruji’s Sikhs were also subjected to various types of torture, but all remained calm and stable, Bhai Mati Das Ji was killed by being cut with a saw. 

Bhai Sati Das ji was martyred by wrapping it in cotton/cotton, pouring oil on it and setting it on fire. 

Bhai Dayala ji was martyred by boiling him in a boiling deg. 

All these martyrdoms were done in front of Guruji so that he becomes weak, but Guruji remained unshakable even after seeing the martyrdom of his loved ones. Guruji was overjoyed to see his beloved Sikhs passing the test given by the Akal Purakh/Paramatma and his heart became even more hardened towards his decision. 

Martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji

Finally, on November 11, 1675, Guru Tegh Bahadar ji was brought out of the cage. After taking a bath at the well, he recited Japuji Sahib. In the afternoon, Guruji was brought out of the Kotwali. He was brought in shock and thousands of people had gathered there. The Qazi again repeated the same condition, but he also gave the same answer. “Finally the executioner raised his sword and separated Guru Sahib’s head from the body” and thus Guru Tegh Bahadur ji had saved the Hindu religion by sacrificing his life. .              

History testifies that as soon as the martyrdom / massacre took place, there was a huge storm, no one could see anything in that storm. Being frightened, the people and the soldiers hid inside the Kotwali. Such a red wind blew that the man could not see the man.

Bringing Guru ji’s head by Bhai Jaita ji

Bhai Jaita ji was the main servant of Guruji’s house. Even before Guruji’s martyrdom, he had planned to raise the head as soon as Guruji was martyred. On the other hand, when Guru ji was martyred, Bhai Jaita ji bravely raised the head of Guru Sahib and he proceeded towards Anandpur Sahib in the storm itself. Upon reaching Anandpur Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh had darshan of Guruji’s head. Seeing his father’s head, Guru Gobind Singh took Bhai Jaita in his arms and uttered the word.

                                           “Son of Rangreta Guru”

Mata Gujri ji saw her husband’s head and bowed to him. The shisha was then washed with rose water and the last rites were performed.

Guruji’s body was cremated by Lakhi Shah Vanzara. Lakhi Shah Vanzara was a royal contractor. They were allowed to come and go everywhere. On that day he reached the Red Fort with his belongings, he picked up Guruji’s body and placed it in his bullock cart parked outside. His son and brother Uday ji and brother Gurdita ji also stayed with the vehicles. Due to the darkness, storm and dust due to the passing of vehicles, it became impossible for the soldiers to know when and how someone took away Guruji’s body and head. After escaping from there, Lakhi Shah Vanzara reached his camp/residence in Rakabganj. This Sikh of Guruji made Guruji’s holy body chikha in his own house and set fire to the house along with his belongings and then bowed his head and thanked God. When people asked the reason for the fire, they said that the fire was caused by natural causes and no one had any doubts.

Construction of Gurdwara Sheesh Ganj 

Gurdwara Rakabganj has now been constructed at the place where Lakhi Shah Vanzara performed the last rites of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji at home and where Guru Tegh Bahadur was martyred, Gurdwara Sheesh Ganj is decorated. This gurudwara is a symbol of the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadar and the protector of Hinduism. Devotees from far and wide come to have his darshan. Guru Tegh Bahadar ji is also known as “Hind ki Chadar”.   

Guru Tegh Bahadur Prakash Utsav

Guru Tegh Bahadur Prakash Utsav falls in the month of April. Sikh Sangat considers this festival with great pomp. During this Gurpurab in Sheesh Ganj Gurdwara, a lot of Sangat come to seek the blessings of Guru ji. 

In the year 2021, the 400th anniversary of Guru Ji’s Prakash Utsav is coming. This Prakash Utsav will be celebrated with great gaiety all over the world. 

Guru Tegh Bahadur Martyrdom Day

ਸ਼ਾਦੀ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਆਪ ਨੇ ਬਹੁਤਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਬਕਾਲੇ ਵਿਚ ਗੁਜ਼ਾਰਿਆ। ਇਥੇ ਆਪ ਘੋੜ ਸਵਾਰੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਤੇ ਸ਼ਿਕਾਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਨ। ਆਪ ਦੇ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਸਥਾਨ ਤੇ ਇਕ ਭੋਰਾ ਵੀ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ, ਜਿੱਥੇ ਆਪ ਨਾਮ ਜਪਿਆ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਨ। ਅੱਠਵੇਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਜਦੋਂ ਸੁਗਰਵਾਸ ਹੋਏ ਤਾਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਵਿਚ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਇਥੋਂ ਮੱਖਣ ਸ਼ਾਹ ਲੁਬਾਣੇ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਖੋਜਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ।

30 ਮਾਰਚ, 1664 ਈ. ਨੂੰ ਆਪ ਗੁਰਗੱਦੀ ਤੇ ਬਿਰਾਜੇ। ਇਸ ਸਮੇਂ ਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿਚ ਕਾਫੀ ਗੜਬੜ ਹੋ ਰਹੀ ਸੀ। ਔਰੰਗਜ਼ੇਬ ਦਾ ਜ਼ੁਲਮ ਪੂਰੇ ਜੋਬਨ ਤੇ ਸੀ। ਧੀਰ ਮੱਲ ਦੀ ਕਰੜੀ ਵਿਰੋਧਤਾ ਕਰਨ, ਤੇ ਕਿਰਾਏ ਦੇ ਮਸੰਦਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਹਮਲਾ ਹੋਣ ਕਾਰਨ, ਆਪ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਖ਼ਤਮ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਅਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਡੇਰੇ ਲਾ ਲਏ। ਇਹ ਥਾਂ ਆਪ ਨੇ ਐਸੀ ਆਬਾਦ ਕੀਤੀ ਕਿ ਬਾਅਦ ਵਿਚ ‘ਖਾਲਸੇ’ ਦਾ ਜਨਮ ਅਸਥਾਨ ਬਣੀ।

ਫਿਰ ਆਪ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੇ ਮਿਸ਼ਨ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਚੱਲ ਪਏ। ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਆਗਰਾ, ਪਟਨਾ ਤੇ ਫਿਰ ਆਸਾਮ ਗਏ। ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਦਾ ਜਨਮ 1666 ਈ. ਵਿਚ ਪਟਨੇ ਵਿਖੇ ਹੋਇਆ। ਆਪ ਨੇ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਰਾਏ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰੀ ਵਿੱਦਿਆ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਤੇ ਵਿਦਵਾਨ ਬਣਾਇਆ।

ਕਸ਼ਮੀਰੀ ਪੰਡਿਤਾਂ ਦੀ ਫ਼ਰਿਆਦ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਆਪ ਔਰੰਗਜ਼ੇਬ ਨਾਲ ਸਿੱਧੇ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਟਕਰਾ ਗਏ ਸਨ। 1673 ਈ. ਵਿਚ ਆਪ ਦਾ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦਾ ਤੂਫਾਨੀ ਦੌਰਾ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋਇਆ।ਆਪ ਇਹ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਨ ਕਿ ਨਾ ਤਾਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਤੋਂ ਡਰੋ ਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਡਰ ਦਿਉ।ਆਪ ਅਜੇ ਆਗਰੇ ਹੀ ਪਹੁੰਚੇ ਸਨ ਕਿ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਸਮੇਤ ਬੰਦੀ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਤੇ ਔਰੰਗਜ਼ੇਬ ਨੂੰ ਖ਼ਬਰ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਗਈ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਹੁਕਮ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਕਿ ‘ਤੇਗ ਬਹਾਦਰ’ ਨੂੰ ਕਤਲ ਕਰਕੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਸਰੀਰ ਦੇ ਟੁਕੜੇ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦੇ ਚਾਰੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਟੰਗੇ ਜਾਣ। 11 ਨਵੰਬਰ, 1675 ਈ. ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਦਿੱਲੀ ਦੇ ਚਾਂਦਨੀ ਚੌਂਕ ਵਿਚ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ। ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਸੀਸ ਤੇ ਧੜ ਨੂੰ ਉਥੇ ਪਿਆ ਰਹਿਣ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਤੇ ਪਹਿਰਾ ਲਗਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ।ਪਹਿਰੇਦਾਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਅੱਖ ਬਚਾ ਕੇ ਇਕ ਸਿੱਖ ਭਾਈ ਜੈਤੋ ਨੇ ਸੀਸ ਚੁੱਕ ਲਿਆਂਦਾ ਤੇ ਅਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਲੈ ਗਿਆ। ਭਾਈ ਲੱਖੀ ਸ਼ਾਹ ਲੁਬਾਣੇ ਨੇ ਧੜ, ਹੁਸ਼ਿਆਰੀ ਨਾਲ ਗੱਡੇ ਤੇ ਲੱਦ ਲਿਆ ਤੇ ਘਰ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਘਰ ਨੂੰ ਅੱਗ ਲਾ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਤੇ ਇਸ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਸੰਸਕਾਰ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਇਸ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਆਪ ਨੇ ਸ਼ਹਾਦਤ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕੀਤੀ।

ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੇ ਮੌਤ ਨੂੰ ਜੀ ਆਇਆਂ ਕਿਹਾ ਤੇ ਇਕ ਸ਼ਾਇਰ ਪੁਕਾਰ ਉੱਠਿਆ—

“ਆ ਸਿਤਮਗਰ ਮਿਲ ਕੇ ਆਜ਼ਮਾਏਂ ਜੌਹਰ ਅਪਨਾ, ਤੂੰ ਖੰਜਰ ਆਜ਼ਮਾ, ਹਮ ਆਜ਼ਮਾਏਂ ਜਿਗਰ ਅਪਨਾ।

ਇਸ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਹਿੰਦੂ ਧਰਮ ਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਲਈ ਤੇ ਦੇਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਰਦਈ ਪਰਦੇਸੀ ਹਕੂਮਤ ਦੇ ਪੰਜੇ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਉਣ ਲਈ, ਕੌਮ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਰ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਮਹਾਨ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ-

ਮਿਟ ਗਏ ਹਨ ਜੋ ਧਰਮ ਤੇ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਰਾਹ ਤੇ ਚੱਲ ਕੇ ਦੇਖੋ। ਸ਼ਹੀਦਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵਖਿਆਨਾਂ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਨਹੀਂ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਅਸੂਲਾਂ ਤੇ ਚੱਲ ਕੇ ਦੇਖੋ। ਦੇਖਣਾ ਹੀ ਹੈ ਜੀਵਣ ਤਾਂ, ਧਰਮ ਤੇ ਮਰ ਕੇ ਦੇਖੋ । ਬਣਨਾ ਹੀ ਹੈ ਮਾਨਵ, ਤਾਂ ਮਾਨਵਤਾ ਤੇ ਟਿਕ ਕੇ ਦੇਖੋ।

ਜਨਮ ਤੇ ਮਾਤਾ-ਪਿਤਾ

ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਜਨਮ 1 ਅਪਰੈਲ, 1621 ਈ: ਨੂੰ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ ਵਿਖੇ ਛੇਵੇਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਘਰ ਹੋਇਆ।ਆਪ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਮਾਤਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਂ ਮਾਤਾ ਨਾਨਕੀ ਸੀ।ਆਪ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਬਚਪਨ ਦਾ ਨਾਂ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਚੰਦ ਸੀ।ਆਪ ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਪੰਜ ਪੁੱਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਛੋਟੇ ਸਨ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਰਤਾਰਪੁਰ ਵਿਖੇ ਕਈ ਲੜਾਈਆਂ ਲੜੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਤੇਗ਼ ਦੇ ਜੌਹਰ ਵਿਖਾਏ ਤਾਂ ਹੀ ਆਪ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਨਾਂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਪੈ ਗਿਆ।

ਗੁਰਗੱਦੀ

ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤ ਸਮਾਉਣ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਬਾਬਾ ਬਕਾਲਾ ਕਹਿ ਕੇ ਆਪ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰਗੱਦੀ ਦਾ ਵਾਰਿਸ ਬਣਾਇਆ। ਆਪ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਹੋਣ ਦੀ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਅਨੋਖੀ ਹੈ। ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਜਦੋਂ ਹਰਿਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਬਾਬਾ ਬਕਾਲਾ ਵੱਲ ਇਸ਼ਾਰਾ ਕੀਤਾ ਤਾਂ ਉੱਥੇ ਹੋਰ ਕਈ ਪਖੰਡੀ ਸਾਧੂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰਗੱਦੀ ਦਾ ਵਾਰਿਸ ਦੱਸਣ ਲਈ ਗੁਰੂ घटे ਹੋਏ ਸਨ। ਮੱਖਣ ਸ਼ਾਹ ਲੁਬਾਣਾ ਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਵਪਾਰੀ, ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਜਹਾਜ਼ ਸਮੁੰਦਰੀ ਭੰਵਰ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਾਲ ਪਾਰ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ, ਨੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਸੁੱਖਣਾ ਲਾਹੁਣ ਲਈ ਹਰ ਸਾਧੂ ਅੱਗੇ ਪੰਜ ਮੋਹਰਾਂ ਰੱਖੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਮੱਥਾ ਟੇਕਿਆ। ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਅੱਗੇ ਜਦੋਂ ਪੰਜ ਮੋਹਰਾਂ ਰੱਖੀਆਂ ਤਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਪੰਜ ਸੌ ਮੋਹਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੁੱਖਣਾ ਦਾ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਕੀਤਾ– ਇਹ ਸੁਣ ਕੇ ਉਹਨੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਅੱਗੇ ਪੰਜ ਸੌ ਮੋਹਰਾਂ ਭੇਟ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਉੱਚੀ-ਉੱਚੀ ਅਵਾਜ਼ਾਂ ਲਾਈਆਂ “ਗੁਰੂ ਲਾਧੋ ਰੇ, ਗੁਰੂ ਲਾਧੋ ਰੇ”। ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਆਪ ਗੁਰਗੱਦੀ ‘ਤੇ ਬਿਰਾਜਮਾਨ ਹੋਏ।

ਧਰਮ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ

ਗੁਰੂ ਪਰਗਟ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਗੁਰਗੱਦੀ ਸੰਭਾਲਣ ਪਿੱਛੋਂ ਆਪ ਨੇ ਦੂਰ-ਦੂਰ ਤੀਕ ਧਰਮ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਕਰਨਾ ਅਰੰਭ ਕੀਤਾ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸਪੁੱਤਰ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਰਾਇ ਨੂੰ ਸਿਦਕ, ਬੀਰਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਪਵਿੱਰਤਾ ਦੇ ਉੱਚੇ ਆਦਰਸ਼ਾਂ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਢਾਲਿਆ।

ਅਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਵਸਾਉਣਾ

ਬਾਬਾ ਬਕਾਲਾ ਤੋਂ ਆਪ ਕੀਰਤਪੁਰ ਪੁੱਜੇ ਤੇ ਫਿਰ ਕਹਿਲੂਰ ਦੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਤੋਂ ਜ਼ਮੀਨ ਖ਼ਰੀਦ ਕੇ ਅਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਨਗਰ ਵਸਾਇਆ। ਮਗਰੋਂ ਇੱਥੇ ਹੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਪੰਥ ਸਾਜਿਆ।

ਕਸ਼ਮੀਰੀ ਪੰਡਤਾਂ ਦੀ ਪੁਕਾਰ

ਉਸ ਸਮੇਂ ਮੁਗ਼ਲ ਸਮਰਾਟ ਔਰੰਗਜ਼ੇਬ ਦੇ ਹੁਕਮਾਂ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਕਸ਼ਮੀਰ ਦਾ ਸੂਬੇਦਾਰ ਸ਼ੇਰ ਅਫ਼ਗਾਨ ਤਲਵਾਰ ਦੇ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਨਾਲ ਕਸ਼ਮੀਰੀ ਹਿੰਦੂਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨ ਬਣਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ। ਕਸ਼ਮੀਰ ਦੇ ਦੁਖੀ ਪੰਡਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਫਰਿਆਦ ਕੀਤੀ ਤੇ ਬਾਲ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਰਾਇ ਦੀ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਨਾਲ ਆਪ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀ ਦੇਣ ਦੀ ਹਾਮੀ ਭਰੀ। ਆਗਰੇ ਧਰਮ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਪੰਜ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਸਮੇਤ ਗ੍ਰਿਫ਼ਤਾਰ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ ਤੇ ਦਿੱਲੀ ਲਿਆ ਕੇ ਇੱਕ ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਮਸਜਿਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੈਦ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਗਿਆ। ਇਸਲਾਮ ਧਰਮ ਨੂੰ ਕਬੂਲਣ ਤੋਂ ਇਨਕਾਰ ਕਰਨ ‘ਤੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਅਨੇਕਾਂ ਤਸੀਹੇ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਗਏ।

ਸ਼ਹਾਦਤ- ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਸਿਦਕ-ਦਿਲੀ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਹਾਕਮਾਂ ਨੇ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਆਪ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਕੀਤਾ। ਭਾਈ ਮਤੀ ਦਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਆਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਚੀਰਿਆ ਗਿਆ। ਸਤੀ ਦਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਰੂੰ ਵਿੱਚ ਲਪੇਟ ਕੇ ਸਾੜ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ। ਭਾਈ ਦਿਆਲੇ ਨੂੰ ਉਬਲਦੀ ਦੇਗ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ। ਫਿਰ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਸ਼ਹੀਦੀ ਦੇਣ ਲਈ ਤਿਆਰ ਹੋ ਗਏ। ਆਪ ਨੇ ਇਸ਼ਨਾਨ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਬੋਹੜ ਹੇਠ ਬੈਠ ਕੇ ਜਪੁਜੀ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦਾ ਪਾਠ ਕੀਤਾ ਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਅੱਗੇ ਜਦੋਂ ਸੀਸ ਨਿਵਾਇਆ ਤਾਂ ਜੱਲਾਦ ਨੇ ਤਲਵਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਆਪ ਦਾ ਸੀਸ ਧੜ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਵੱਖ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਇਹ ਸ਼ਹੀਦੀ 11 ਨਵੰਬਰ 1675 ਈ: ਨੂੰ ਹੋਈ। ਉਸ ਥਾਂ ‘ਤੇ ਅੱਜ-ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ ਸੀਸਗੰਜ ਸੁਸ਼ੋਭਿਤ ਹੈ। ਇੱਥੇ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਸਿੱਖ, ਹਿੰਦ ਦੀ ਚਾਦਰ, ਧਰਮ ਰੱਖਿਅਕ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਰਧਾਂਜਲੀ ਅਰਪਣ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਪੁੱਜਦੇ ਹਨ।

ਸਾਰੰਸ਼

ਸਿੱਖ ਧਰਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਹਾਦਤ ਲਾਸਾਨੀ ਹੈ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਮਾਨਵਤਾ ਦੀ ਭਲਾਈ ਲਈ ਆਪਣਾ ਜੀਵਨ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਅਜੇ ਵੀ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਮਾਨਵਵਾਦੀ ਕਦਰਾਂ-ਕੀਮਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਥਾਪਤ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਦੀ ਹੈ।
