[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 65212, member: 189"] Guru Piaraio Jio, Gurfateh. 1. Someone told you all wrong. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee is OUR "Pio Daddeh ka KHAZANAH"....the TREASURE of our Creator and all that we need to do is LOVE..Jin PREM KIO tin PRABH Payio. Read all you want with all the LOVE ou can muster....dont be afraid of any "mistakes"..Guru Ji FORGIVES everything. Nothing is going to "get broken"..nothing is going to get "torn"..nothing is going to "get dirty"....treat SGGS as your most precious and loving one.... b) That same someone also told you the story all wrong. Guru GOBIND SINGH JIs sons - all FOUR of them were exemplary souls..and ALL four were MARTYRED...the elder two Ajit Singh and Jhujaar Singh aged 14 and 16 died gallantly fihting the enemy on the battlefiled of Chamkaur while the younger two Zorawar Singh and fateh Singh ..aged 5 and 7...died bricked up alive by the Sirhind Governor for REFUSING to convert to Islam. The "Guru's son" who made the supreme mistake of TWISTING GURBANI to please the MUGHAL EMPEROR..was Ram Rai eldest son of Guru Har rai ji - seventh Guru Ji. Ram Rai was elder brother of Eight Guru Ji Har Kishan Ji. He was sent to the court of Aurengzeb to explain Gurbani.
