Shaheedi Of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji

[Jatha Nihang Singha]

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji describes the sacrifice made by the Ninth Guru in their autobiography titled Sri Bachitter Natak;

‘He protected the forehead mark and sacred thread (of the Hindus) which marked a great event in the Iron age. For the sake of saints, he laid down his head without even a sign.13. For the sake of Dharma, he sacrificed himself. He laid down his head but not his creed. The saints of the Lord abhor the performance of miracles and malpractices. 14. Breaking the potsherd of his body head of the king of Delhi (Aurangzeb), He left for the abode of the Lord. The whole world bemoaned the departure of Tegh Bahadur. The whole world grieved at the Guru’s departure, the gods hailed the Guru’s arrival in heavens.16’. (Dasam Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 131)

Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur sitting in a small iron cage watching Bhai Mati Das being sawn in half.

Even once his body was in two pieces, the Gurus hymns could still be heard resonating from Bhai Mati Das.

The names of those who sacrificed their lives at Delhi continue to serve as a great source of inspiration for Sikhs, it is fitting that the names of those who are noted as great martyrs of the Sikh faith also symbolically represent the qualities of the creed of Sikh warrior that was required to face the challenges which would confront the Sikhs in the years preceding their great sacrifice. The names of the Ninth Guru’s three companions represent the following qualities; good intellect (mat), truthfulness (sat) and compassion (dyal). Thus, as is seen many time in Sikh history, and indeed the history of other religious traditions, historical fact and spiritual symbolism are often hand in hand...

Often the term 'hind di chadhur' is used.

Our Guru gave his head and life to save the hindus.

The kashmiri pandits came to him when they were under threat from moghuls because they wanted to ask him 'who could represent them and try save their sacred hindu tikka and thread''.

Remember, it was the very young Gobind Rai that said '' Don't be confused trying to think who to appoint, who is better to represent them than you my father ?''

Self volunteering to sacrifice your life not to save your family or your own, but to save the hindus that were under unjust threat and oppression.

Having smashed the potsherd of his life (physical body) on the head of Aurangzeb, the Emperor of Delhi, Guru Tegh Bahadur proceeded to the abode of the True Lord (passed away).

None else could perform such a remarkable feat as Guru Tegh Bahadur did.(15)

The world was drowned in the ocean of sorrow when Guru Tegh Bahadur departed

The whole world raised an uproar of lamentation whereas the gods in heaven greeted him with shouts of victory.(16)(215)

I listened to an awesome katha about Guru Ji's shaheedi on the radio yesterday morning. The giani ji was basically using quotes and verse from kavis of various backgrounds, i.e. Hindus and Muslims (poets) of the time who wrote about Guru Ji's shaheedi and the events leading up to them leaving for Delhi. It was like an actual historical account of what happened, with various sources being used to illustrate the events of the time.
