Significance In Sikh Religion
Guru Gobind Singh was born as Gobind Rai and was formally established as a Sikh leader at the age of nine, becoming the tenth and final human Sikh Guru.
According to the Drik Panchang, the tenth Sikh Guru was born on the Saptami Tithi of Paush month, Shukla Paksha, 1723 Vikram Samvat. This year the tithi begins on 8 January from 10:42 am and ends on 9 January at 11:08 pm.
He was extremely popular for opposing the Mughal rule in India and leading the battle against their oppression. He is an inspiration to millions of Sikhs worldwide who preached peace and equality among all. He stood against the prevalent caste system in India and voiced against all kinds of superstitions that hindered the development of society.
Guru Gobind Singh was responsible for institutionalising Khalsa, who played a decisive role in protecting the Sikhs after his death. Before his death, he declared Guru Granth Sahib as Sikhism's holy scripture in 1708.
