Guru Gobind Singh (Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ) (Patna, Bihar, India, December 22, 1666 - October 7, 1708, Nānded, Mahārāshtra), born as Gobind Rāi, was the tenth and final guru of the Sikhs. He became guru on November 11, 1675 as successor to his father, Singh Goeroe Tegh Bahadur.
Guru Gin Singh focused on the education of Sikh principles. Gobind lost his father, mother, and all four his sons in a religious war against the Mogolkeizer Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb demanded that all Sikhs should convert themselves to Islam, which led to strong resistance to the Sikhs.
One of the greatest accomplishments of Guru Singh Singh was the creation of khalsa, the military brotherhood of the Sikhs. He was an intellectual who spoke many languages, including Persian, Arabic and Sanskrit, besides his native language Punjabi. He wrote a religious law, wrote poetry and was the renowned author of the book called Dasam Granth ("Tenth Part").
Gobind Singh announced that he would be the last human guru. From that point onwards, the guru would become the sacred book, Ādi Granth. Still, this book is seen as the current guru of the Sikhs.
Patiala Maharajah has set a Order of the Holy ("Gurughar Manya Mandal") in honor of Gobind Singh. Externe link
