Ram Rai, the elder brother of Guru Harkrishan Sahib was ex-communicated and disinherited due to his anti-Guru Ghar activities. Ram Rai complained to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in Delhi that he had been overlooked because of his loyalty to the emperor. He also claimed that he had not received his due share of his father’s property. Ram Rai knew that , Guru Har Rai Ji had publicly instructed Guru Har Krishan ji never to meet Aurangzeb. Ram Rai hoped if Guru Har Krishan ji met the emperor, it would be against his father’s wishes and the Sikhs would be displeased with their Guru. On the other hand, if Aurangzeb summoned Guru Har Krishan ji to Delhi, and he refused to go, then Aurangzeb would send troops to compel him. Aurangzeb favored Ram Rai, and summoned Guru Har Krishan ji to Delhi. The Sikhs were very apprehensive about young Guru Har Krishan ji travelling to Delhi and appearing at court.
