GURU TEGH BAHADUR (1621-1675) THE TRUE STORY
- February 27, 2022 March 8, 2022
Sardar Gurmukh Singh OBE
A Retired Principal Civil Servant (UK)
About the Author :
He held many high-profile positions including departmental representation at European forums and the World Trade Organisation (ex-GATT). He is well respected in the Sikh diaspora and was honoured by the Canadian Sikhs with “Sirdar Kapoor Singh” Khalsa Millennium Award in 2001 in recognition of his scholarly interpretation of Sikh ideology.
He writes extensively about Sikh ideology and identity. He has produced many publications including Sikh centennial souvenirs and an Australian publication about Vaisakhi, and numerous articles on topical issues affecting British Sikhs. He was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in 2016 New Year Honours for his community services.
Sardar Tarlochan Singh, Ex-MP & Chairman, National Minorities Commission, India.
We have recently celebrated the 400 th birth anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. Due to COVID the expected programmes could not be organised the way we celebrated Guru Nanak Dev Ji 550 th Birth Anniversary. We are happy that with the help of the modern techniques seminars and Kirtan Darbars could be organised.
The Sikh Missionary Society U.K . has always been active to produce literature and organise seminars. It is to their credit that the first edition of the popular book “Guru Tegh Bahadur The True Story” was released in 2017. This year, Sikh Youth Australia have released a revised second edition.
The author of the book is S. Gurmukh Singh who has the unique honour of being the first identity Sikh senior Civil Servant to represent U.K. government department abroad. He was honoured with OBE award for his meritorious services towards society. I have the pleasure of meeting him and have been continuously reading his articles. I have always found in him intellect, Panthic devotion and writing skill.
I am thankful to him for digging out old records in order to write a true story of the life of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and to remove the superfluous tales. The missionaries have been narrating the great powers of our Gurus adding stories full of miracles. From my childhood we have been reading about Guru Nanak’s travels where unnatural happenings were being highlighted only to prove the greatness of our Guru. Much later the Sikh historians produced authentic versions through the books.
While reading the text of the new book I have found that S. Gurmukh Singh has cleared many myths and has written his version based on historical facts. The Sikh community always respect Makhan Shah Lubana and have been giving credit to him to find the ninth Guru. But S. Gurmukh Singh has proved that from Guru Nanak to 10 th Guru there have never been any gap period for succession of the next Guru. Every Gurus in his own life time selected His successor and bestowed Gur gaddhi to him. Guru Harkrishan the only child God in the world history named his own successor-Baba Bakala. The learned author has mentioned in detail that Guru Tegh Bahadur was always called Baba. He has proved that Guru Harkrishan very clearly named him as Ninth Guru. Guru Tegh Bahadur accepted his role and was traditionally honoured by the Sikhs. Similarly, Guru Tegh Bahadur named his son Gobind Rai as tenth Guru before he left Anandpur in 1675 A.D. Makhan Shah Lubhana reached Bakala much later and served the Guru with full devotion for many years.
The author properly explained with reference to contemporary records that Guru Tegh Bahadur in his earlier life never spent 20 years just for meditation. He was a trained warrior and was deputed by 7 th Guru Har Rai Ji to tour the rural areas of Punjab, for preaching Guru Nanak mission. Guru Tegh Bahadur was the second Guru after Guru Nanak who went to all parts of India as preacher of Guru Nanak mission.
The book further educates us that Guru Tegh Bahadur was arrested three times by the Mughal forces. His last arrest was near Ropar when he left Anandpur Sahib for Delhi after listening to the harrowing tales from Kashmiri Pandits. A detail account of Gurus detention in Sarhind and other places has been mentioned and also how he was tortured and was kept in an iron cage.
Gurmukh Singh Ji has emphasized that how Guru Tegh Bahadur sacrificed his life for the freedom of religion. Guru Ji never agreed to conversion under allurement or threat. Guru Ji wanted that everyone can choose his way of worship and there should be freedom of conscience. The book proves that Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb was in Delhi and issued order of execution of Guru Tegh Bahadur. Aurangzeb could not tolerate anyone who was a defender of religious freedom.
Here I may add that during my speeches in Indian Parliament I narrated the atrocities committed by Mughal Emperors Babar Jahangir and Aurangzeb. Guru Nanak in his Bani has mentioned that Babbar was responsible for creating terror and bloodshed and killing the innocent people. Emperor Jahangir issued order for the martyrdom of Guru Arjun Dev Ji. Aurangzeb put his father in prison, killed his brother and ousted his sister and wanted entire India to be converted to Islam.
This book has also cleared another doubt regarding the role of Baba Ram Rai son of Guru Har Rai who was earlier ousted for wrong quoting of Gurbani. It is now written that Guru Tegh Bahadur met Baba Ram Rai in Delhi on 21 st March 1664. Secondly the book has come out with another positive historical fact that when Guru Harkrishan Ji met emperor Aurangzeb Baba Ram Rai ji accompanied him. A detailed dialogue by Baba Ram Rai Ji is quoted on the basis of new findings from Bhat Vahi Poorbi – Dakhni .
Earlier I read that Guru Gobind Singh met wife of Baba Ram Rai Ji at Paonta Sahib. I remember Gyani Zail Singh, Chief Minister of Punjab went to Dera Baba Ram Rai in 1974 and was highly impressed that holy artifacts were properly maintained. He had that time advocated that there should be reconciliation of the Sikhs and the Dera. I as Chairman National Minority Commission was able to get huge financial grant from Culture Ministry Government of India for conservation of the paintings, artifacts and the building of the historic dera.
The book has condemned the role of Mullahs and Brahmins in eastern India who were unhappy with the preaching of Guru Tegh Bahadur. This was very natural because Guru Nanak and all other Sikh Gurus were against the rituals being performed by the pujaris at all religious places. This resulted in the loss of the income and popularity of all of them. Guru Nanak visit of Haridwar is a big testimony to this as he started throwing water to the opposite direction which annoyed the Hindu pujaris. We must realize that Aurangzeb was a dictator and from day one he decided to spread Islam through oppression. Even Jahangir in his autobiography- Tuzke Jahangiri has mentioned that he ordered execution of Guru Arjun. We have been putting the entire blame on Chandu. The Muslim historians have always highlighted the Mughal emperors as benefactors of people and this distorted the history. They have never criticized the anti Hindu role of the Muslim Kingdom.
I hope the book will be properly received by all of us and everyone should present it as a gift to their friends. The Sikhs at large should adopt book reading habit so that we may encourage authors to enrich the Sikh literature.

Reviewer: Hardev Singh Virk , Mohali, India
I was fascinated to read this book online published by the Sikh Missionary Society of UK. The inner cover page declares unequivocally the theme of the book: “The account which follows is that of Guru Tegh Bahadur, Nanak IX. His martyrdom was a momentous and unique event. Never in the annals of human history had the leader of one religion given his life for the religious freedom of others”.
The message of General Secretary of Missionary Society, Teja Singh Mangat, reveals that there is a sister volume of this book “ Defender of Religious Freedom: Guru Tegh Bahadur ” meant for students. He goes on to elaborate the purpose of this book: “Earlier publications have been influenced either by Brahmanical thought or are biased against Guru ji’s life mission and the noble cause which he pursued to the end. At least one text book published by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) of India, relies on highly biased and even hostile non-Sikh evidence like the Mughal reports and Persian sources”.
In the Introduction to this volume, the author reveals the purpose of writing this book: “The main reason for this publication is that earlier publications about the life and martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur either do scant justice to the Guru’s active life or have been written more like fiction in the traditional saakhi (story-telling) style. One example is an otherwise informative biography of Guru Tegh Bahadur by Dr Trilochan Singh which is written more like a historical novel”.
The book opens with a Chart of Sikh Gurus’ succession followed by a Synopsis of the book, as in a Ph.D. thesis, and historical background of the Sikh movement. The book has been divided into four Sections: Life before Guruship; Guruship; Martyrdom; and After Martyrdom. The author has avoided superfluous details and summed up the whole thesis in just 56 pages of text. He has tried to remove the cobwebs created by other authors by his research oriented approach of sifting the facts from fiction.
Guru Tegh Bahadur was trained as a warrior by his father and he participated in most of the battles fought by Guru Hargobind. The author sums up his mission and life in Baba Bakala as follows: “Tegh Bahadur was now remote from the main seat of Sikhism, yet he carried with him the ambience in which he had grown. He was the example of virtues the Gurus had taught. He had humility and compassion and a firmness of mind. He lived a strict and holy life and spent most his time in meditation. Yet he was no recluse. He attended to family responsibilities. He went out riding and followed the chase. In the Sikh faith the temporal and the spiritual were not disjointed. This was amply attested in Guru Tegh Bahadur’s life.”

7 teachings of Guru Teg Bahadur that preach the humanitarianism we need today
On guru tegh bahadur's 342nd death anniversary, we take a look at some of his teachings..
Listen to Story
Today marks the martyrdom day of the ninth Sikh guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur Singh, who was executed under on the orders of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, in the year 1675.
Known for his artillery skills and being the protector of the weak, Guru Tegh Bahadur Singh travelled across the country preaching Guru Nanak Dev's teachings.
This day is widely known as the Shaheedi Divas , and the Chief Minister of Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh has urged the Sikh diaspora to commemorate Guru Tegh Bahadur's sacrifice for the greater good by following the ideals of secularism and humanitarianism.
Guru Tegh Bahadur composed 116 shabads and 15 ragas , and his teachings have been included in the Adi Granth .
On this significant day, let's look back on some of his quotes and the teachings derived from them:
1. "One who grieves not in misery and delights not in pleasure, who is free from fear and attachment, and for whom gold and dust are the same and who has renounced both praising and blaming (flattery and slander) and is immune to greed, worldly attachments and pride....when the all Merciful Guru blesses a disciple with His Grace, only then does the disciple attain this blessed spiritual state and blends (merges) with the Lord as water with water."
Guru Tegh Bahadur preached the conviction it takes to be indifferent to misery and happiness, to get rid of vices like flattery and allegation, and every other worldly pleasure. It is when one has mastered the art of self-control that he/she can truly be spiritual.
2. "O saints, renounce the Ego, and always flee from lust, wrath and evil company. One should consider pain and pleasure, honour and dishonour the same. One should renounce both praise and blame and even the search for salvation. This is a very difficult path and rare is a (Gurmukh) pious person who knows how to tread it."
Guru Tegh Bahadur showed the path of divinity to his disciples by teaching them to overcome greed, desire, ego and pain.
3. "One who vanquishes his ego and beholds the Lord as the Sole Doer of all things, that person has attained 'Jiwan Mukti' (is liberated while living), know this as the real truth, says Nanak."
The Guru revealed the true reason behind human suffering to his followers. It is in times of despair and misery that one gets to see the ephemeral nature of worldly pleasures, and only then can one truly learn to value greater things in life.

5. " Give up your head, but forsake not those whom you have undertaken to protect. Sacrifice your life, but relinquish not your faith"
Guru Tegh Bahadur was a merciful saviour of the weak, and that is what he preached. He taught his disciples to protect the ones who need protection, even if it comes at the cost of one's own life.
7. "Why go to search forests (to find Him). He who dwells in all hearts but remains ever pure, pervades thy heart also. Just as fragrance fills the rose and reflection the mirror, the Lord pervades all without a break; search Him inside thee. The Guru hath revealed this knowledge that the Aum pervades inside and outside. Saith Nanak, without knowing thyself the scum of doubt will not be removed."
The Guru pressed on the omnipresence of the Almighty. The Lord lives within us, and one only needs to look within himself to connect with him. He preached that the symbol of universe, Aum (Om), is everywhere, inside you, outside you, inside me and outside me. Published By: AtMigration Published On: Nov 23, 2017 --- ENDS ---

Early Life And Family Background
Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was born on April 1, 1621, in Amritsar, Punjab, India. He was the youngest son of Guru Hargobind Ji, the sixth Sikh guru, and Mata Nanaki Ji. From an early age, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was raised in an environment that valued spirituality, righteousness, and service to humanity. His father, Guru Hargobind Ji, was a warrior-saint who fought for the rights of the oppressed and downtrodden. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji grew up in a large family, with five brothers and one sister.
Experiences That Shaped Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s Life
As a child, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was exposed to various social and political issues that shaped his perspective on the world. He witnessed the oppression and persecution of the lower castes and the poor, which fueled his desire to fight for justice and equality. At the age of five, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji met Baba Sri Chand, the son of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, who had renounced the world and lived a life of austerity. Baba Sri Chand was impressed by Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s devotion and blessed him, saying that he would become a great spiritual leader.
In addition to Baba Sri Chand, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was also influenced by the teachings of Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Sati Das, two of the most revered martyrs of the Sikh faith. They instilled in him the values of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering faith in God. These experiences would later shape Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s life and inspire his actions as a guru.
Contribution To The Sikh Community During Childhood
Despite being a child, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji made significant contributions to the Sikh community. He played a key role in the establishment of the city of Anandpur Sahib, which became a center for Sikh learning and culture. He also promoted Sikh values and ethics, such as honesty, compassion, and equality, among the people. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji believed that education was the key to liberation and encouraged people to seek knowledge and wisdom.
Moreover, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji had a deep concern for the underprivileged and marginalized sections of society. He would often give food and shelter to the needy and sick, and would provide assistance to the elderly and disabled. His acts of kindness and generosity endeared him to the people and earned him the title of “Hind Di Chadar,” or the Shield of India.
Challenges And Obstacles Faced During Childhood
Despite his many accomplishments, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji faced numerous challenges and obstacles during his childhood. The Mughal Empire, which ruled India at the time, was hostile to the Sikh faith and persecuted its followers. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s father, Guru Hargobind Ji, was imprisoned by the Mughals, and his brother, Baba Gurditta, was tortured and killed. This created a sense of fear and insecurity among the Sikh community and made it difficult for them to practice their faith freely.
Later Life And Legacy
Despite the many challenges he faced during his childhood, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji remained steadfast in his commitment to the Sikh faith and its principles. He succeeded his father as the ninth Sikh guru at the age of 43 and continued to promote the values of compassion, selflessness, and service to humanity. He traveled extensively throughout India and established new centers for Sikh learning and culture. He also wrote several hymns and compositions that are still recited by Sikhs today.
Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s most significant contribution to Sikhism was his martyrdom. In 1675, the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, who was hostile to the Sikh faith, ordered Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji to convert to Islam or face execution. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji refused to renounce his faith and was martyred in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk area. His sacrifice inspired the Sikh community to stand up against oppression and persecution, and his death is commemorated every year as Martyrdom Day.
Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s childhood experiences shaped his life and legacy as the ninth Sikh guru. His exposure to social and political issues, his interactions with spiritual leaders and martyrs, and his contributions to the Sikh community at an early age laid the foundation for his lifelong commitment to promoting Sikh values and principles. His martyrdom remains a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering faith in God, and his teachings continue to inspire millions of Sikhs around the world today.

भारतीय इतिहास में कई महापुरुषों ने अपनी जान की परवा ना करके भी धर्म की रक्षा की| अपने धर्म, मानवीय मूल्यों एवं सिद्धांत की रक्षा के लिए अपने प्राणों की आहुति देने वाले महापुरुषों में गुरु तेग बहादुर का स्थान अग्रिम पंक्ति में हैं। यहां गुरु तेग बहादुर जी के बारे में विस्तार से वर्णन किया गया है|
सिख समुदाय के गुरु तेग बहादुर जी का नाम बड़े ही सम्मान के साथ लिया जाता है| उनका जन्म पंजाब के अमृतसर नगर में हुआ था| गुरु तेग बहादुर गुरु हरगोविन्द जी के पांचवें पुत्र थे। सिखो के आठवें गुरु हरिकृष्ण राय जी के निधन के बाद इन्हें जनमत द्वारा गुरु बनाया गया था। इन्होंने आनन्दपुर साहिब का निर्माण कराया और ये वहीं रहने लगे थे।
उनके बचपन का नाम त्यागमल था. गुरु तेग बहादुर बचपन से ही बहादुर, निर्भीक स्वभाव के थे। मात्र 14 वर्ष की आयु में मुगलों के हमले के खिलाफ हुए युद्ध में उन्होंने वीरता का परिचय दिया। उनकी वीरता से प्रभावित होकर उनके पिता ने उनका नाम त्यागमल से तेग बहादुर यानी तलवार के धनी रख दिया।
