Guru Gobind Singh

The tenth and last of the Sikh Gurus, Guru Gobind Singh lived during an extremely hostile period. His father Guru Teg Bahadur had sacrificed his own head to protect the Hindus, who were being threatened with conversion or death by fanatic Muslim rulers. In the midst of this political situation, Guru Gobind Singh gained great stature as both saint and soldier: a leader of firm spiritual principles and intense devotion to God, and at the same time, fearless dedication to protect all from oppression and injustice. The story of Guru Gobind Singh, who had to shoulder the responsibility as Guru when he was just nine years old, will not only inspire Sikhs, but every person who loves bravery and has faith in God.
