GURU TEG BAHADUR JI – AN APOSTLE OF PEACE (1621-1675 AD)
(A TRIBUTE BY S. RANJODH SINGH )
Guru Teg Bahadur was the fifth and the youngest son of Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth in the lineage of the Sikh Gurus. He was born on first of April, 1621 at Guru ke Mahal at Amritsar to Mata Nanki. In the foremost years of life, he learned the art of warfare and knowledge of scriptures from the likes of Bhai Gurdas and Baba Budha ji.
Initial period of growth
In 1630 when he was nine year old, his family moved to Kartarpur near Jalandhar and he tied a nuptial knot with (Mata) Gujri, daughter of Bhai Lal Chand and Bibi Bishan Kaur of Bakala. His father, Guru Hargobind built the city of Kiratpur at the foothills of the mountains and the Sikh seminary moved there along with other members of the family. However (Guru) Teg Bahadur continued to stay at Bakala with his wife, Gujri and his mother, Bibi Nanki for many more years. During those 30 years of his life, he remained aloof from the outside world and he spent most of his time in deep meditation and prayers to the Almighty. He sat for long hours in an underground cellar, revered as Bhora Sahib now days.
In the subsequent years, Guru Hargobind preached in far off lands the tenets of Sikh faith, and he established many centers of Religious propagation in the region of Malwa, Doaba, eastern Punjab and Kashmir. The legacy was continued by his son, Guru Har Rai as the 7th Guru, who established Kiratpur as a great center of pilgrimage for the masses. Further, the child prodigy, Guru Harkrishan, his younger son attained the mantle of Guruship at the age of 4, and continued the message of Divine love to all in next 5 years. He left for His heavenly abode to merge with the Divine at the age of 9 in New Delhi on 30th March, 1664. Before breathing his last, he announced that the next Guru will be ‘Baba’ of Bakale, that means the grandfather who lives in Bakala, without naming his successor.
Upon hearing this news, many of the Sodhi clan, nearly 22 of them settled down in Bakala and claimed to be the rightful descendant of the throne of Sikh Religion. They established their own ‘Manjis’ – and starting taking offerings from the pilgrims who thronged to Bakala in search of the Successor Guru. This caused utter confusion in Sikh masses over the contentious issue of the next Guru of the Sikhs. This parlay went on for few months, however finally the truth was unveiled in a miraculous way.
As the Ninth Guru of the Sikhs
A devote Sikh, Makhan Shah Lubhana was a wealthy merchant and was sailing in the sea with his precious cargo. During this sailing, he was engulfed in a storm and was about to loose his cargo as well as his life to a thunderstorm. He earnestly prayed to God and offered 500 Gold mohurs to the Guru, to save him from this catastrophe. He had a miraculous escape and upon return to the lands, he reached Baba Bakala with his troupe to offer the 500 gold mohurs and pay obeisance to the house of Nanak. However, he was taken aback to find more than 22 self-styled claimants to the title of the Guru. He was surprised and in quick reaction, he starting offering 2 gold mohurs to each of the 22 imposters sitting there. All of them uttered praise on him for this bounty, none showed up to claim the rest of mohurs. Having failed to find the true Guru, he was about to return when someone guided him to the underground cellar where Guru Teg Bahadur used to meditate in solitude. In the same way, he offered two gold mohurs and waited for reaction. Teg Bahadur opened his eyes, looked upon him, and showed a sign of injury on his back that occurred while steering his ship to safety. He fell at his feat, offered balance of the mohurs and went shouting in ecstasy, ‘ Guru ladho re, Guru Ladho re’, I have found the true Guru! Thus, the ninth Guru was revealed and Sikh masses started converging to Bakala to seek spiritual guidance from the great Master.
After sometime, Guru Teg Bahadur went to pay obeisance at te holy city of Amritsar, where the sacred shrine of Harimandir was built by fifth Guru, Guru Arjan in 1604 AD. But the descendants of Prithi Chand and Meharban did not allow him to go in, fearing that they will loose control of this shrine. So, Guru Teg Bahadur offered his prayers just outside the periphery, at a place now called as Thara Sahib, that stands testimony to his visit to this place. To avoid any conflicts, he moved to Kiratpur and started spreading the teachings of Nanak to the pilgrims in large numbers. He also bought a huge set of jungle in village, Makhowal from the Raja of Kahlur in 1665 and started establishing it as the city of Anandpur- a tranquil place of bliss. In later years, Anandpur attained supreme glory in establishing the Khalsa order, the pure ones by the tenth Master in 1699.
Towards the East
After stabilizing the tasks of the routine, Guru Teg Bahadur set on a long and arduous journey towards the east of Hindustan, to spread the message of Universal Truth, and disseminate the teachings of Guru Nanak and the subsequent Gurus in important places of significance, where Guru Nanak had already travelled during the Udasi of the east and there were followers in those regions.
After crossing over Patiala, Dhamdhan, Kurukshetra enroots to Patna, he reached there with his family and disciples in early part of 16…, He stayed there in the house of Raja Fateh Chand Maini, who offered great hospitality to the Guru and his family. The Sangat thronged in large number to seek blessing of the Guru and hear sermons from him. The Gurus wife and mother stayed up in Patna, and the Guru left for his onward sojourn in Assam, Dacca and Bengal. At every place, he preached people about One God, to shun ignorance and go away with rituals. He had great influence on all, even the Witches of Kamrup fell on his feet, after failing to haunt him. After preaching in Dhubri, monghyr and other places, he reached Dacca, a foremost center in the east. The rich or poor, the kings or paupers, all came to seek his divine darshan and get hid blessings in return.
In the meantime in Patna, Mata Gujri gave birth to his son, Gobind Rai in 1666, the long awaited joy and bliss of a child in house of Gujri. Guru Gobind Singh’s birth place is known as Takht Sri Patna Sahib, and it is an important pilgrim center for the Sikhs now. When Guru Teg Bahadur rejoined his family in Patna, he met them in the gardens of the Muslim Nawab, thereby stands a Gurdwara, Guru ka bagh in sacred memory of his visit in this place. After a brief stay at Patna, Guru ji returned back to Anandpur and continued preaching in the areas of the region. Later on, his family also joined him in Anandpur Sahib.
Mughal Oppressions
After the death of Jahangir, Shah Jahan became the ruler of India, and he continued the Islamic fundamentalism in his dynasty. He was imprisoned by his younger son, Aurangzeb, who overthrew him and Shah Jahan died in captivity after few years of isolation. Aurangzeb also killed his brothers, Dara Shikoh and Murad to avoid any conflicts for the throne.
Aurangzeb unleashed a reign of terror on the Hindu population and desecrated the Hindu shrines and places of pilgrimage. He taxed the hindus with Jazia , a heavy penalty for those who are non-Muslim. The worst suffers were the Kashmiri Pandits, as Kashmir was the citadel of knowledge and learning in those days. He proclaimed that either they adopt Islam or give their heads in turn.
The group of Kashmiri Pandits flocked to the divine court of Guru Teg Bahadur, seeking his intervention to stop atrocities on them. They pleaded to him to save them from the cruel hands of Aurangzeb and his Governors of different states, who were torturing the poor peasants with fear, repulsions and death.
Martyrdom
On hearing the plea of these Pandits, Gobind Rai, the young son of Guru Teg Bahadur virtuously commented, “ O father! There is none who is more capable to liberate these poor ones, who are suffering greatly by the hands of the Mughal Rulers, only you can redeem them from the cursed life wretched by the tyrant state.” Thus, the Guru decided to meet personally Emperor Aurangzeb and said that if Aurangzeb could convert him to his fold, then all the Kashmiri Pandits and their followers will follow suit.
The Guru started his journey towards Delhi passing through numerous towns and cities, and also briefly stayed at Agra, where a beautiful Gurdwara was built to commemorate his visit this historic town.
Upon reaching Delhi, he stayed at the house of Raja Jai Singh, a ardent follower of the Guru. He was asked to perform miracles or convert to Islam and win the laurels of the Emperor.
Guru ji refused both the terms and decided to sacrifice his life for religion and tolerance. In following actions of cruelty, Bhai Mati Das was tortured to death by cutting him into two pieces with sharp edged saw passing through the middle of his head. Another devotee, Bhai Dyala was thrown in the cauldron of boiling water and he succumbed to the burns on his body. The third disciple, Sati Das wrapped in a bundle of cotton-wool and set on fire. All three of them embraced death with dignity and pious way, thus setting an example of true devotion to the Guru.
Finally, the butcher of Samana, Jalal-ud-din was entrusted the job of execution of Guru Teg Bahadur in the square close to the Kotwali of Chandni Chowk. There were thousands of people watching with despair this cowardly act of the rulers, creating a wave of hatred for the Emperor and his governance. The Butcher beheaded the Guru with sword, separating the face from body. In a commotion that followed and turbulence in weather, Bhai Jaita wrapped the Guru’s face in a cloth and took it in his arms to safety. He reached Anandpur and offered it to Guru Gobind for the cremation ceremony. Guru Gobind Singh lovingly addressed Bhai Jaita as ‘ Rangreta, Guru ka Beta’ ( the Brave-heart act, like a son of Guru) for his heroic task.
The other remains of Guru’s body were lifted in swift action by the ardent follower and a wealthy merchant, Bhai Lakhi Shah Vanjara, who cremated the same with full honour by burning down his own house, seemingly to be an accidental fire at his place.
The place were the Guru was martyred is called as Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib and the place of cremation of his body is known as Gurdwara Raqab Ganj Sahib. Both these shrines are testimony to the great sacrifice of Guru Teg Bahadur, and there are no traces of glory in history for the likes of Aurangzeb. The annals of history in the year 1675 will remain the greatest event of historic importance for the generations to come.
Teachings of Guru Teg Bahadur ji
Guru Teg Bahadur’s life is an epitome of divine love of the Supreme Creator, he spent a major part of his life in deep solitude and became one with God.
His sermons and preachings are contained in the holy, Guru Granth Sahib, and the the are recited on completion of the Akhand Paath or Sehaj Paath, the divine message is conveyed in most befitting manner about the reality of life and the reason to be born as human beings. The path of enlightenment exhibit keen desire and longing for the union with Supreme Being.
When a life is filled with prayers, contemplation and deep trance of His Love, the death seems to be like a bubble of water. Life is short, death is divine. There is no one who can attain eternity except the ones who realize the true meaning of the life, and that is to remember the God, do good deeds and live a simple life of joy and contentment. Thus, the fear of death is overcome, true salvation is attained.
It is not necessary to shun the world, go in wilderness and spend a life of an ascetic. The foremost conclusion is to attain moksha while living a normal human life. There is illusionary and myriad wealth around us, we are engrossed in worldly maya, and attached to physical belongings. The banis of Guru Teg Bahadur guide us to path of enlightenment and explains the truth of life in simple and easy to understand the real worth of human existence.
