✔ 10●GURU GOBIND SINGH Ji - (10thGuru from 1675 to 1708) • GURU JI: was born in 1666 and became Guru after the martyrdom of his father Guru Tegh Bahadur. • GURU JI: created the Khalsa (The Pure Ones) in 1699, changing the Sikhs into a saint-soldier order with special symbols and sacraments for protecting themselves. After the Guru had administered Amrit to his Five Beloved Ones, he stood up in supplication and with folded hands, begged them to baptize him in the same way as he had baptized them. He himself became their disciple (Wonderful is Guru Gobind Singh, himself the Master and himself the disciple). The Five Beloved Ones were astonished at such a proposal, and represented their own unworthiness, and the greatness of the Guru, whom they deemed Gods representative upon earth. He gave the Sikhs the name Singh (lion) or Kaur (princess). • GURU JI: fought many battles against the armies of Aurangzeb and his allies. After he had lost his father, his mother and four sons to Mughal tyranny, he wrote his famous letter (the zafarnama) to Aurangzeb, in which he indicted the Grand mughal with his treachery and godliness, after which the attacks against the Guru and his Sikhs were called off. Aurangzeb died soon after reading the letter. Soon, the rightful heir to the Mughal throne sought the Gurus assistance in winning his kingdom. It was the envie and fear of the growing friendship between the new Emperor and the Guru which lead to the sneak attack of the Pathan assasins of Wasir Khan who inflicted the wound which later caused the Gurus death. • Thus the tree whose seed was planted by Guru Nanak Dev ji, came to fruition when Guru Gobind Singh ji created the KHALSA ✔ JINDER JEET SINGH VIRK • https://facebook/viirk
