Guru Gobind Singh - A tribute on Gurpurab of 2013

Happy Gurpurab. Remembering the 10th Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh. He built the final institution on the earlier Masters' philosophy - the Khalsa; as the guru's contemporary Bhai Nand Lal says:

Jalweh Aaraa-e Aan Noh Mash-ale Haq Frog
V Zulmat Zadaa-e Shab-e Kazb-o Drog
– Ganjnama (104)

“His kingdom makes the manifestation of the nine torches (nine Gurus before him) brighter and removes the darkness and falsehood from this world.”

*The Guru emphasized Equality: "Maanas Ki Jaat Sabhai Ekai Pahchaanbo.– Akal Ustat, 15 (85) “Recognise the whole of mankind as one race."

**Fight against Political Tyranny:

Chun Kar Az Hameh Heelat-e Dar Guzasht
Halal Ast Burdan B-shamshir Dast (Zafarnama, 22)

“When the entire stratagem employed for (solving) a problem are exhausted, (only) then taking your hand to the sword is legitimate)

I take a bow for this man !
