Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the tenth Sikh Guru—a master poet, military strategist, saint-warrior, and spiritual leader.
On Vaisakhi 1699 at Anandpur Sahib, he created the order of the Khalsa Panth, initiating the Panj Pyare with Amrit and bestowing the 5 Ks (Kesh, Kangha, Kara, Kachhera, Kirpan) along with the titles Singh and Kaur.
He sacrificed his four sons (4 Sahibzade) and mother (Mata Gujri Ji) in the defense of righteousness, declaring before his passing in 1708 CE: "Guru Maneyo Granth"—appointing Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the eternal Guru of the Sikhs.
