Guru Arjan was arrested under the orders of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir and asked to convert to Islam.He refused, was tortured and executed in 1606 CE. The dasvand financed the building of gurdwaras and langars (shared communal kitchens).
The Masand not only collected these funds but also taught tenets of Sikhism and settled civil disputes in their region.
Guru Arjan reorganized the Masands system initiated by Guru Ram Das, by suggesting that the Sikhs donate, if possible, one-tenth of their income, goods or service to the Sikh organization (dasvand). He completed the construction of Darbar Sahib at Amritsar, after the fourth Sikh Guru founded the town and built a pool.Guru Arjan compiled the hymns of previous Gurus and of other saints into Adi Granth, the first edition of the Sikh scripture, and installed it in the Harimandir Sahib. Guru Arjan led Sikhism for a quarter of a century. He was the first Guru in Sikhism to be born into a Sikh family. He was born in Goindval, in the Punjab, the youngest son of Bhai Jetha, who later became Guru Ram Das, and Mata Bhani, the daughter of Guru Amar Das. He compiled the first official edition of the Sikh scripture called the Adi Granth, which later expanded into the Guru Granth Sahib. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib chose and blessed His most beloved sikhs and sons to embrace holy death.In English:: Guru Arjan (Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਅਰਜਨ 15 April 1563 – ) was the first of the two Gurus martyred in the Sikh faith and the fifth of the ten total Sikh Gurus. Guru Teg Bahadur chose and blessed his most beloved disciples Bhai Mati Das to be sawed alive in two halves, Bhai Sati Das to be burnt alive and Bhai Dyala to be boiled alive. The Lord asked his most beloved sons Guru Arjan and Guru Teg Bahadur to embrace martyrdom. The Lord asked his most beloved son Lord Christ to go up the Cross. Martyrdom is a blessed privilege of the chosen few. ‰ Guru Arjan never uttered a sigh or a groan and never showed any sign of ill-will towards those who inflicted injuries and sufferings on him”.
#SIKHIWIKI MARTYRDOM OF GURU ARJAN HOW TO#
He set the finest example of how to attain the supreme bliss and ecstasy in the process of most brutal and horrible death in perfect tune with the sweet Will of God. He taught the wonderful path of divine intoxication in the process of intense human agony, suffering and death. He taught us how to nurse a yearning passion for martyrdom. The golden era of the advent of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the living Guru Nanak, in terms of eternity, had actually started with the epoch making labour of love in compilation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and its ceremonial installation in Sri Harimandir Sahib in the very life of Sri Guru Arjan Sahib. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib offered everything nearest and dearest including His beloved sons and countless sikhs before installing and coronating Sri Guru Granth Sahib as the Eternal Guru. Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib alongwith His most beloved sikhs, Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dyala, then offered themselves unto the Lord in this supreme Cosmic Sacrifice. It was an inspiring beginning only, an examplary commencement, a signal for life eternal. Having presented an ocean of Nectar, the Nectar of Immortality to the bound souls on a platter ( Sri Guru Granth Sahib), He now passes on another unique Nectar, the Nectar of the Bliss of Martyrdom to the Children of Nanak. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, then only a delicate child, had mooted the idea of supreme balidaan by Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib himself. That is how Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib had expressed this idea when five hundred pandits from Kashmir under Pandit Kirpa Ram had approached Him for protection. Necessity of a supreme sacrifice, a supreme balidaan of a prophet arises with a view to neutralise the devastating power, the mighty Shakti of evil forces of that age. With no feeling of ill-will, with no word of rancour and condemnation and with a soul-stirring glow of the Sweet Will of the Lord, writ large on His holy face, He blissfully underwent all brutal tortures, agony and suffering of mankind. He sat in a blissful meditation and ecstatic equipoise on the hot iron plate while burning sand was poured on His holy head in an unending stream. Having accomplished the primary mission of His holy life, that is compilation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and its momentous installation in Sri Harimandir, Sahib, Sri Guru Arjan Sahib then set a pace for a unique Cosmic Sacrifice.įrom the house of Guru Nanak, Nanak the Fifth was Himself the first to enter into the arena of this Cosmic Sacrifice.
