Guru Govind Singh Ji was the tenth Guru of the Sikhs. He was born on December 22, 1666 in Patna. He became the tenth Guru on November 11, 1675 after the martyrdom of his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. He was a great warrior, poet, devotee and spiritual master. In 1699, on the day of Baisakhi, Guru Govind Singh Ji founded the Khalsa Panth. He fought 14 battles against external invaders to end tyranny, sin, protect the poor and protect religion.

He sacrificed the whole family for the sake of religion, for which he is also called Sarbansdani i.e. the giver of the whole family. Guru Govind Singh ji was a great writer, original thinker and had knowledge of many languages including Sanskrit. He was a unique amalgamation of devotion and power, due to which he is also called Saint Sepoy. Guru Govind Singh Ji completed the holy scripture of the Sikhs (Guru Granth Sahib) and adorned it as a Guru.

Guru Govind Singh Ji, the tenth Guru of the Sikhs who laid down his life for the protection of religion and welfare of humanity, Sahib-e-Kamaal, profound homage on the Prakashotsav of revered Guru Govind Singh ji.”
