NAASRO MANSOOR GURU GOBIND SINGH..........

                                           Easy it may be for some to do the impossible,but the impossible of all those impossible deeds is to describe GURU GOBIND SINGH. 
                                           Nowhere in history will people find such an example ,if somebody doubts he/she just need to rake the history books.
                                           Whatever one writes about him ,the words can never cover the value of his deeds. The effort below is not even a countless part of an drop in an Ocean.

                                          "If ever the humanity seeks humility like Jesus, overflowing wisdom of Buddha, glowing face like Shri Krishna, maryada of Ram ji then they should see the multidimensional qualities of Guru Gobind Singh"  - Sadhu Vaswani.
                                            
                                          It was in winter of 1666 A.D the leader of the Sikh faith,the 10th guru(DASMESH) was born and was named GOBIND RAI. Guru ji was an epitome of chivalry,  a warrior, poet, philosopher, scholar, skilled horseman, armed combat, chivalrous, and a generous SAINT SOLDIER .Even when he was a child he had many admirers, including a learned Brahmin called Pandit Shiv Dutt who used to call Guruji Bala Pritam ("child god"), a name that is used even today to refer to the Guru.
                                        The time was challeging as the emperor of India AURANGZEB was on peak of his brutality and wanted to convert everyone to Islam and on the other hand Hindu society was suffering inside from an evil Brahamnical caste system according to which shudras were considered outcast and were treated no better than ants.
                                         When Bala Pritam was 9 years of age ,Kashmiri pandits were forced to remove their religious threads(janaeu).Whoever refused ,consequences were no less than death.The Pandits had no respite and no option but to go to GURU TEG BAHADUR SAHIB(9th guru of sikhs and GURU GOBIND SINGH's father).The Brahmins bowed and requested Guruji that all this would stop only if a big personality sacrifices'. Bal GOBIND was standing nearby and said ,"Who is bigger than you father,only you can save them by a supreme sacrifice."It is a such a little age for a child to even think properly but Gobind Rai encourged his father to end the plight of the unpowerful.
                         
Allah Yogi yaar khan has rightly remarked -

Ulfat ke yeh jalwe, kabhi dekhe nahi humne,

haan dekhna ek baat, sunay bhi nahi humne(Hindi/Urdu).

I have never seen such rare deeds done out of love (about Guru ji sacrificing His everything), What to say of seeing, I haven't even heard about them ever!

                                                   Guru Teg Bahadur ji was martyred at Chandni Chowk,Delhi(Gurudwara SIS GANJ is located at that place today),but before leaving he set Bal Gobind to be the 10th GURU.He was just a 9 year old surrounded by a quagmire with a cruel Aurangzeb on one side and Kings of Shivalik hills on other. Guruji was opposed by Kings of hills as he was against false practices and superstitions like Idol worship,Sati,worship of incarnations etc.He himself preached ,what he believed.His enemies were not people but Unrightiousness  and Injustice.He was Saint who had to lift the sword.He himself rights the reason for this-

''When all the stratagem employed for (solving) a problem are exhausted, (only) then taking your hand to the sword is legitimate."
              He had to fight a load of wars with Mughals as well as their allies like Rajas of Hills ,but guruji fought all with Almighty's word and never lost one.
                            On 13 April,1699 Guruji created KHALSA(The Pure) in Anandpur Sahib,to demolish the anarchist caste system and create equals in the society and convert the cowards to braves.In an Congregation of thousands guruji drew his sword and asked for a volunteer who was willing to sacrifice his head. No one answered his first call, nor the second call, but on the third invitation, a person called Daya Ram (later known as Bhai Daya Singh) came forward and offered his head to the Guru. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji took the volunteer inside the tent, and emerged shortly, with blood dripping from his sword. He then demanded another head. One more volunteer came forward, and entered the tent with him. The Guru again emerged with blood on his sword. This happened three more times. Then the five volunteers came out of the tent unharmed. These five, who were willing to sacrifice their lives for their Guru, were called Panj Piare("the five beloved ones"). These five volunteers were : Daya Ram (Bhai Daya Singh), Dharam Das (Bhai Dharam Singh), Himmat Rai (Bhai Himmat Singh), Mohkam Chand (Bhai Mohkam Singh), and Sahib Chand (Bhai Sahib Singh).
                                            After Baptizing the five guruji himself was baptized by PANJ PIARAS and was know as GOBIND SINGH(from Gobind rai).The Sikhs of the Khalsa can be identified with the given Five Ks and given names Singh(lion) and Kaur(princess).
                       
                                  On an enquiry by Stalin that how will India bridge the gulf between poor and rich, Dr Radha Krishnan, philospher, diplomat and statesman said, "Just as Guru Gobind Singh did it". 
                                   One of the biggest sacrifices of all was in Chamkaur sahib when Guruji and his mere 40 Singhs were surrounded by a army of thousands.It was one of the biggest battle in the history known as The Battle Of Chamkaur(Click and Read Kamal's Blogs for BATTLE OF CHAMKAUR) .He sent his two elder sons Ajit Singh and Jujhar Singh to the battlefield.Every father wants to see his child get married, but this was the time of fighting the enemy and defending the path of righteousness.
                                            While describing the importance of the land of Chamkaur, Allah Yaar Khan Jogi penned these immortal lines in his account:-

Bas ek Hind mein tirth hai yatra ke liyae,

Katai Bap ne betey jahan khuda ke liyae(Hindi/Urdu).

There's just one place for pilgrimage in India,

where a father sacrificed his sons for god.

                                              Two younger sons Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh were captured and asked to convert,but they declined.These two young brave souls, aged 5 and 7, were not scared, tempted or lured to give up their faith.They were bricked alive in Sirhind.

                                             They were lured at every point while the wall was being raised,but they roared, "We are lions! We are not threatened by death! Keeping our Sikhi we will die till our last breath."

                          ਆਪਿ ਲੀਏ ਲੜਿ ਲਾਇ ਦਰਿ ਦਰਵੇਸ ਸੇ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਧੰਨੁ ਜਣੇਦੀ ਮਾਉ ਆਏ ਸਫਲੁ ਸੇ ॥2॥

"Those whom Waheguru attaches to the hem of His robe, are the true dervishes"

 Sikhs,today address the 4 sons of GURUJI as SHAHIBZADE, out of shear love.

                                    While imprisoned on top of an open tower during the cold month of December, Mata Gujar kaur ji(GURUJI's Mother) continually did simran with no complaints about her physical being. She attained martyrdom the same day as her grandsons after hearing that her grandsons had been bricked alive rather than give up their faith. Her mission had been fulfilled.

                                             Shashi Bala, Reader of Guru Nanak Dev University, writes, “Mata Gujri holds the position of wife of a martyr, mother of martyr, the grandmother of martyrs and herself a martyr.”

                                              How can i describe Guruji,who did not shed a tear on his son's and mother's death but says,"Char Mue Tho Kiya Hooa, Jivat Kaye Hazaar".

"What if 4 have died,still thousand(KHALSA) of my sons/daughters are alive."

                                              He created such SIKHS who feared nothing ,

Purja purja kat merai kabhu na chadeh kheit.

"And, though cut piece by piece, the hero never abandons the battlefield." 

 Macgregor in his famous History of the Sikhs (1846 p.101) says:

                                                             "If we consider the work which Govind accomplished both in reforming his religion and instituting a new code of laws 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 the powerful enemies by the very men who had previously forsaken him, we need not be surprised that the Sikhs venerate his memory. He was, undoubtedly, a great man."

                                                               Guruji left his physical body along with his horse Dilbagh (aka Neela Ghora) on 7 October 1708 at Nanded, before which he had declared the Guru Granth Sahib as his successor.Granth Sahib  is the holy book which contains writings(GURBANI) of Sikh gurus,Bhagats and some sikhs.It is the final and eternal guru of the Sikhs,who read the gurbani and worship ONE LORD and restain from useless false practices and superstitions.

                   

                                  One of the best books about GURU GOBIND SINGH is 'SAHIB-E-KAMAAL GURU GOBIND SINGH' by LALA DAULAT RAI(AN ARYA SAMAJI) of DERA GHAZI KHAN(Pakistan)in 1901.[Here is the link to the book- http://laladaulatrai.com/ ,This book is also available in stores in Punjabi,English,Hindi,Urdu,Telgu,Tamil and many others Languages.]

                                  Lala ji writes,"Krishna, Ram Chandra and Shankara were great men and in their time they performed great deeds. Guru Gobind Singh surpassed them all in working wonders for the nation and the country."


The Greatest Patriot of all times,whose deeds are hardly weighed and his memory seems to be  passed into oblivian.

          

Na Kahun Abh Kee, Na Kahun Tab Kee,

agar na hote Guru Gobind Singh, to sunnat hoti sab kee"

I talk about neither yesterday nor tomorrow; I talk about today. Had there been no Gobind Singh, All would have been under Islamic sway.(circumcised)

                                                                   -Baba Bulleh Shah/Allah Yogi Yaar Khan.

Bhai Nand Lal Goya,the persion scholar in guruji's court has 
rightly written,"NASRO MANSOOR GURU GOBIND SINGH,EZDI MANZOOR GURU GOBIND SINGH"


"GURU GOBIND SINGH IS THE HELPER OF OTHERS ,HE HIMSELF HAS THE HELP OF GOD"

                                                  ALLAH YOGI YAAR KHAN was devot muslim and a writer,he wrote a lot about  GURUJI,When he had become an old man, a Qazi went to his house and said to him, “Jogia, come with me and ask for forgiveness. You have grown old and should die as a true Muslim.” Allah Yaar Khan said, “I have done nothing wrong. What I wrote about Guru Ji is the truth and I will not go back.” Hearing this the Qazi got mad and said, “Then you wanna die as a kafir?” Yaar khan replied, “I am kafir from Mohammad but not for Guru Gobind Singh Ji. I see Guru Ji sitting in Bahishat (heaven) with open arms and waiting for me. I want His love and want to die as Guru Ji’s servant.” Qazi left and Allah Yaar Khan died remembering Guru Ji every moment of his life.
