DESCRIPTION:

Today is the anniversary of the Martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev Sahib.

Guru Arjan Dev Sahib (May 2, 1563-June 16, 1606) was the fifth Sikh Guru and a central figure in Sikh history. He was born in Goindval, Punjab, India, to Guru Ram Das Sahib, the fourth Sikh Guru, and Mata Bhani Ji. Guru Arjan Dev played a significant role in developing Sikhism and its institutions.

Some notable contributions and events from Guru Arjan Dev Sahib's life include:
Compilation of the Adi Granth: Guru Arjan Dev Sahib compiled the Adi Granth, the first edition of the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the central religious scripture of Sikhism. He collected the hymns of previous Gurus and those of several Hindu and Muslim saints and added his own compositions. The Adi Granth was completed in 1604 and installed in the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in Amritsar.
Construction of Harmandir Sahib: Guru Arjan Dev Sahib was instrumental in constructing the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in Amritsar, Punjab. This holy site is the most revered pilgrimage destination for Sikhs and symbolizes openness and inclusivity in Sikhism.
Expansion of Sikhism: Under Guru Arjan Dev Sahib's leadership, Sikhism expanded rapidly. He established a network of Sikh centers called Manjis, which helped organize and spread Sikh teachings.
Martyrdom: Guru Arjan Dev Sahib's growing influence and the popularity of Sikhism led to tensions with the Mughal Empire. Emperor Jahangir, fearing the rise of Sikhism, ordered Guru Arjan Dev Sahib's arrest in 1606. The Guru was severely tortured and ultimately died in custody, becoming the first martyred Sikh Guru. His martyrdom is a turning point in Sikh history. It marked the beginning of the Sikhs' struggle against Mughal oppression and the eventual emergence of the warrior tradition within Sikhism.
Guru Arjan Dev Sahib's life and teachings continue to inspire Sikhs worldwide, emphasizing humility, selfless service, and devotion to God.
