Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji - Guru
from 1661 to 1664
He was born in 1656. Guru Har Krishan was the
youngest of the Gurus. Installed as Guru at the age of five, Guru Ji astonished
the Brahmin Pundits with his knowledge and spiritual powers.
To the Sikhs he proved to be the very symbol of
service, purity and truth. The Guru gave his life while serving and healing the
epidemic-stricken people in Delhi. The young Guru began to attend the sufferers
irrespective of cast and creed., but succumbed to the disease himself at the age of eight.
Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji - Guru
from 1665 to 1675
He was born in 1621 in Amritsar.
He established the town of Anandpur. The Guru laid down his life
for the protection of the Hindu religion, their Tilak and their sacred (janeau)
thread. He was a firm believer in the right of people to the freedom of
worship.
It was for this cause that he faced martyrdom for the defence of the
down-trodden Hindus. So pathetic was the torture of Guru Tegh Bahadur that his
body had to be cremated clandestinely (a follower burned down his own home to
cremate the Guru's body) at Delhi.
