Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, is an exemplary role model who sacrificed everything he had so that ordinary men and women had the freedom to choose and follow the faith of their choice. He laid the foundation of a struggle initiated to free India from hundreds of years of subjugation by ruthless invaders and foreigners.
He was only nine when he counseled his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, to fight against religious oppression. Guru Tegh Bahadur was martyred at the hands of the Mughals. Guru Gobind Singh's mother and his four sons also sacrificed their lives for the Sikh faith. Against all odds, the Guru fought several battles instigated by the Mughals and the Hill Chiefs. In the end, he was martyred by assassins sent by the Mughal Emperor.
Guru Gobind Singh formed a nation of death-defying saint-soldiers, whom he named Khalsa. He gave them the spirit of Chardikala, which meant unwavering courage, spirituality and optimism in the face of all impossible odds.
Guru Gobind Singh wrote poems deeply imbued with noble qualities such as inspiration, devotion, defiance, heroism, and faith in One God, the Almighty. He asked his followers to fight against evil and tyranny, and to always choose the path of right action and support the righteous.
Before departing from the mortal world, the Guru installed the holy Guru Granth as the permanent Guru of the Sikhs, thus ending the lineage of human Gurus.
