Guru Gobind Singh Ji Life– An Emblem of Sacrifice

Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the only child of the ninth Living Sikh Guru Tega Behadur, was born in Patna Sahib in the Indian State of Bihar, on December 22, 1666. It was a time of war, when the Mughal empire was brutally sought to convert everyone to Islam. Following the torture and execution of his father for refusing to convert, the young boy, aged only nine, was named the 10th Nanak Sikh Guru. This put huge responsibility on the shoulders of the young boy, but it is said he had a maturity far beyond his years. It is said he embodied the essence of each of the nine Gurus before him: the spiritual discernment of Guru Nanak, the gift for organisation of Guru Amardas Sahib and Guru Ram Das, the literary skills of Guru Arjan, the military skills of Guru Har Gobind Sahib, and the need for sacrifice for the welfare and protection of others from his father Guru Tegh Behadur. <a href="https://shashidubey.medium.com/guru-gobind-singh-ji-life-an-emblem-of-sacrifice-63c937cb9693">Website</a>
