The wise count your blessings to coin your names." (Jaap Sahib) The woods and dales sing the indescribable.
He is the sovereign of the universe, gods, men and demons. He is the king of kings, the Lord of the prophets. He is fearless, luminous and measureless in might. "God has no marks, no colour, no caste, and no ancestors, No form, no complexion, no outline, no costume and is indescribable. I am a servant of the Supreme Being and have come to behold the wonderful drama of life."Įxtracts from Guru Gobind Singh's writings Regard me as one of his slaves and have no doubt whatever about it.
"Those who call me God, will fall into the deep pit of hell. For himself he used the word 'slave' or servant of God. Unlike many other prophets he never called himself God or 'the only son of God.' Instead he called all people the sons of God sharing His Kingdom equally. His teachings are very scientific and most suitable for all times. It is said that after the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the tenth Master declared that he would create such a Panth (Sect) which would challenge the tyrant rulers in every walk of life to restore justice, equality and peace for all of mankind. Guru Gobind Singh Ji infused the spirit of both sainthood and soldier in the minds and hearts of his followers to fight oppression in order to restore justice, peace, righteousness (Dharma) and to uplift the down-trodden people in this world. It may not be out of context to say here that throughout the chronicles of human history, there was no other individual who could be of more inspiring personality than Guru Gobind Singh.
The tenth Guru (teacher) of the Sikh faith, was born Gobind Rai.

"If we consider the work which (Guru) Gobind (Singh) accomplished, both in reforming his religion and instituting a new code of law for his followers, his personal bravery under all circumstances his persevering endurance amidst difficulties, which would have disheartened others and overwhelmed them in inextricable distress, and lastly his final victory over his powerful enemies by the very men who had previously forsaken him, we need not be surprised that the Sikhs venerate his memory. Guru Gobind Singh moulded the Sikh religion into its present, with the formation of the Khalsa fraternity and completion of the Guru Granth Sahib as we find it today, which some will say was his greatest act. He became Guru on Novemat the age of nine, following in the footsteps of his father Guru Teg Bahadur ji.īefore Guru ji left his mortal body for his heavenly abode, he nominated Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji (SGGS) as the next perpetual Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Gobind Singh ji (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ) (Friday, January 5, 16661, in Patna, Bihar, India - Thursday, 21 October, 1708) was the tenth and last of the Ten human form Gurus of Sikhism.
