The Enemity of Raja Bhima Chand of Bilaspur state

Guru Gobind Singh Ji was merely nine years old when his father Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji was martyred at Chandni chowk Delhi. This was a very futile and testing time for the Sikh nation.But fortunate was the Sikh nation to have a righteous and diplomatic leader like Guru Gobnd Singh Ji.

As soon as Guru Gobind Rai Ji accepted gurudom, Guru Ji cremated his father's severed head. Bhai Jeta Ji smuggled Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji's severed head from Mughal custody and He was hugged by Guru Gobind Rai Ji and Guru Ji uttered “Rangreta Guru Ka Beta” which literally translates as Rangretta caste as son of the Guru.

Bhai Jeta had risked is own life to save sacrilege to Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji's severed head and indeed had committed a miraculous and brave deed.

After tcremating Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji's head, the young Guru Gobind Rai asked Bhai Jeta Ji about the after effects of the martyrdom on the sikhs of Delhi.Bhai Jeta Ji replied that the Sikhs of Delhi after Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji's martyrdom tried to hide their identity.

No one was prepared to declare himself a Sikh of the guru.A wave of fear struck the whole of Delhi.Guru Ji also heard of the bravery of those Sikhs who had helped to cremate the body of Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji at Rakabganj Sahib, Delhi.The young Guru Gobind Rai Ji declared ;” That I will give my Sikhs a distinct identity where by even one gursikh will not go undistinguished in thousands of people”.Guru Ji's declaration had an important bearing upon the psychology of his Sikhs.They were reminded to be fearless and enmityless just like the divine qualities of the almighty creator God.Guru Ji also stressed the need to mediatate upon thedivine name and hence conquer evil mindedness. This was the first hint Guru Gobind Singhji gave of the forth coming inaguration of the Khalsa brotherhood which was to ensue.

Guru Gobind Rai consoled the Sikh masses over the martyrdom of the ninth Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadhur ji. Instead of weeping, Guru Gobind Rai ji tackled inner weaknesses amongst the Sikhs and gathered his strength and Guru jistressed that the blood shed of a great saintly man of god like Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji would not be wasted in vain.

The emperor Aurangzeb was convinced that the Sikhs were demoralised by the martyrdom of guru TeghBahadhur Ji and hence the advancement of the Sikh faith would be impossible.The surrounding Hill Rajas around Sri Anandpur Sahib Ji thought the same.

However, the young Guru Gobind Rai had made other preparations. Guru Ji uplifted the spiritis of the downtrodden and disheartened masses by encouraging millitary training amongst the sikhs to include horse riding, hunting, spearfighting.Guru Ji sent edicts for the Sikh sadhsangat to present beautiful horses and good grafted weapons before the Guru in order to evoke the Guru's blessings.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
