featureImage
Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru and founder of the Khalsa, was born on December 22, 1666, in Patna in present-day Bihar, to Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, and Mata Gujri. Guru Gobind Singh was called Gobind Rai as a child and studied Hindi, Sanskrit, Punjabi, and Persian. In 1672 Guru Tegh Bahadur took his family to Anandpur Sahib, which he had founded in 1665.
Guru Gobind Singh succumbed to his injuries on October 7, 1708, in Nanded. Before he died he urged the Sikhs to consider the Guru Granth, the sacred text, as embodiment of the Gurus. Thus, through his teachings and deeds the 10th Sikh Guru not only ensured that Sikhism survived but turned it into a vibrant faith that attracted more and more followers in the years and decades to come, leading to the foundation of the great Sikh empire under Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
