Life of Guru Arjan Dev ji

[mahandulai]

Does anyone have any info on the main things Guru Arjan Devi Ji achieved in his life, and what he setup for the future...?

They made the first guru granth sahib. But it was known as aadi granth in that time.

Just google it. You'll get more info. Wikipedia etc

Maharaaj was given a command from Sri Guru Raam Das ji to build Harimander Sahib, you can learn a lot just by looking at the architecture

Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji also played raag Kirtan on instruments like the saranda (which I think he made or developed out of a previous version when Guru Amar Das ji was the Guru.)

He also compiled Aad Granth Sahib which is all the Bani in the Guru Granth Sahib without Guru Tegh Bahadur's Sahib ji's Bani

There's so much, you need to listen to Katha of Maharaaj like the Sakhis about their childhood, being separated from their Guru and staying in Lahore for many months where he wrote parts of Shabad Hazare etc.

And of course when they sat on Taati tavi - A hot plate - being burnt alive while hit sand was poured on their back to protect Gurbani.

Guru sahib also founded the city of tarn taran sahib. I think the city has the highest population of sikhs by percentage than any other city in punjab.
