A brave man of firm convictions he stood for the secularism, democratic principles and pleaded for man's rights. He lived and worked for the upliftment of poor, needy, and down-trodden people of our country irrespective of their caste, religion or sect. Apart from being a great virtuous and pious man, Guru Govind Singh Ji Maharaj was a well-read person too. He was a linguist and well-versed in Indian classical languages and Persian, Puranic literature, Hindi poetics, Arabic, Punjabi and other martial arts. His Jaap Sahib (written by him at 19 ) a morning prayer is considered a masterpiece by many scholars and intellectuals of different religion .Besides, shooting and hunting, the writing of verses was also a passion of young Gobind. He realized that it is the cultural and heroic outlook which can make a nation strong. He learned Sri Guru Granth Sahib by heart. Guru Govind Singh was a great warrior also. He was an outstanding general and an excellant administrator.He fought many battles against tyranny, suppression, oppression and in-tolerance. He did not fight for any territory or worldly power, nor did he fight against any religion or sect or for his personal gains. His war was mainly against oppression,inequality and tyranny. He was a fine blend of a saint, soldier and a scholar whose mission was to eradicate evil and spread good. There were innumerable people who were greatly influenced by his personality, his philosphy of religion and his sense of sacrifice.</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111"></span></span></span><span style="color: #111111"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong>The Great Yogi allah yaar</strong> khan wrote as follows abt </span></span></span><a href="http://www.sikhism.us/" target="_blank"><u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">Guru</span></span></span></u></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111"> gobind singh ji while comparing his greatness to some other famous personalities</span></span></span></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">Dandak main phire ram to sita thi bagal main,</span></span></span></strong></p><p><strong></strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">(when ram was given exile his wife sita was with her)</span></span></span></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">woh fakhre jahan hind ki mata thi bagal main,</span></span></span></strong></p><p><strong></strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">(Hindustan or hindus or ism which claims to be the oldest civilazation in this world, her mother sita was with him, well the poet actually is saying that what was this exile if compared to the king of kings </span></span></span><a href="http://www.sikhism.us/" target="_blank"><u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">Guru</span></span></span></u></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111"> gobind singh ji’s life, the tenth master cared for humanity not his family, friends or peers, his whole life was an exile starting from the age of 9 when he himself sacrificed his father by saying that who else can save hindu or ism, )</span></span></span></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">Lachman(Laxman) sa biradar bhaye takhsine jigar tha,</span></span></span></strong></p><p><strong></strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">(brother like laxman was with him, here the poet is referring to the tenth master </span></span></span><a href="http://www.sikhism.us/" target="_blank"><u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111">Guru</span></span></span></u></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #111111"> gobind singh ji,in machiwara where he was all by himself after sacrificing his sons,while the poet points that ram(lord rama or god) wept when laxman lost consciousness and regained consciousness after hanuman brought sanjiwani butti, while my satguru the tenth master in machiwara when he lost everything : his anandpur,his family including his 4 sons(sahebzadaas), his mother mata gujri ji, his army, and barefooted rendered friendless and helpless he never lost courage.

[QUOTE="rabjot_singh@yahoo.co.in, post: 88781, member: 3179"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#111111][B]The great Last sikh guru Guru Gobind Singh perhaps could easily be considered the greatest human to have ever taken birth on this planet Earth.[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#111111]He, is an unparalleled hero not in the history of India but in the world history too. A brave man of firm convictions he stood for the secularism, democratic principles and pleaded for man's rights. He lived and worked for the upliftment of poor, needy, and down-trodden people of our country irrespective of their caste, religion or sect. Apart from being a great virtuous and pious man, Guru Govind Singh Ji Maharaj was a well-read person too. He was a linguist and well-versed in Indian classical languages and Persian, Puranic literature, Hindi poetics, Arabic, Punjabi and other martial arts. His Jaap Sahib (written by him at 19 ) a morning prayer is considered a masterpiece by many scholars and intellectuals of different religion .Besides, shooting and hunting, the writing of verses was also a passion of young Gobind. He realized that it is the cultural and heroic outlook which can make a nation strong. He learned Sri Guru Granth Sahib by heart. Guru Govind Singh was a great warrior also. He was an outstanding general and an excellant administrator.He fought many battles against tyranny, suppression, oppression and in-tolerance. He did not fight for any territory or worldly power, nor did he fight against any religion or sect or for his personal gains. His war was mainly against oppression,inequality and tyranny. He was a fine blend of a saint, soldier and a scholar whose mission was to eradicate evil and spread good. There were innumerable people who were greatly influenced by his personality, his philosphy of religion and his sense of sacrifice.
