I COME HERE AGAIN WITH THE LIFE HISTORY AND SOME AMAZING ANECDOTES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE OF DHAN GURU GOBIND SINGH JI.

HE WAS BORN ON 22nd DECEMBER 1666 AT PATNA.
AT THE AGE OF FIVE, HE SAW THAT THE RULERS WERE NOT PERFORMING THEIR DUTY OF LOOKING AFTER THEIR SUBJECTS. TO THE HONOUR AND THE PROPERTY OF OTHER SECTS WAS BEING LOOTED IN BROAD  DAY LIGHT. THERE WAS NO OTHER ONE TO WHOM THEY COULD COMPLAIN. IN THOSE DARK DAYS, HE PERCEIVED THAT THE POOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST OPPRESSION AND TYRANNY. TO MAKE THEM FIT, HE BEGAN TO TRAIN THE  INTO  CHILDREN OF HIS OWN AGE THE ART OF BATTLE AT THE RIVER GANGES.
HE LEARNT TO RECITE THE' GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI' BY HIS HEART IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS ON ARRIVING AT ANANDPUR. IN 1705 AD, AT DAMDAMA SAHIB HE DICTATED THE SCRIPTURES, FROM MEMORY TO BHAI MANI SINGH JI TO WRITE IT DOWN IN PRESENT FORM. THE GURU MADE HIS SIKHS TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TEACHINGS OF GURU NANAK DEV JI. HE ARRANGED FOR THE HINDU SCRIPTURES TO BE TRANSLATED INTO PUNJABI SO THAT THE SIKHS COULD LEARN, WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THOSE BOOKS. HE BROKE THE SHACKLES OF BRAHMINISM THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF SANSKRIT AND RELIGIOUS STUDY SHOULD REMAIN WITH BRAHMINS ALONE. THE BRAHMINS FOR THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST AND BENEFIT, WANTED THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO REMAIN IGNORANT IN ORDER TO MISLEAD AND CHEAT THE SIMPLE VILLAGE FOLKS. THE GURU BROUGHT THE LITERACY TO HIS FOLLOWERS.
IN 1699 AD, OUT OF THE LOWLY AND THE WEAK, GURU GOBIND SINGH JI CREATED THE 'KHALSA', THE ARMY OF GOD, TO END THE TYRANNY. THE NECTAR BESTOWED BY HIM MADE SIKHS REAL SINGHS(LIONS). A SINGH WAS EMBUED WITH SUCH COURAGE THAT HE WAS PREPARED TO FACE AN ARMY OF THOUSANDS ON HIS OWN. EVEN A RECLUSE LIKE BANDA SINGH BAHADUR AFTER BAPTISM WAS SI ENCOURAGED THAT HE BECAME THE FIRST SIKH RULER IN PUNJAB. THE GURU BROUGHT THE WOMEN ON EQUAL FOOTING OF MEN. AFTER BAPTISM' KAUR' IS ADDED TO THEIR NAME WHICH MEANS PRINCESS. IN THE HINDU CASTE SYSTEM THE WOMEN RIGHTS WERE THE SAME AS 'SHUDRAS', THE LOWEST IN THE CASTE SYSTEM.
GURU STARTED THE FIRST''RED CROSS SERVICE''. HE HAD LOVE FOR EVERY ONE EVEN THOSE WHO WERE FIGHTING AGAINST HIM, AS HE HAD NO ENEMY EXCEPT THE REIGN OF TERROR.

SO FOR MY CONTINUATION ON THE ANECDOTES OF DHAN GURU GOBIND SINGH JI, I WILL  BE WRITING EACH AND EVERY ANECDOTE AND HOPEFULLY I WILL BE COVERING EACH AND EVERY PART OF IT.

THANK YOU
