Sikh warrior’s garb.Servant Biography: Born Gobind Rai, he became the tenth Sikh Guru open the death of his father Guru Tegh Bahadur at the hands of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb for his refusal to convert to Islam. Educated in martial arts as well as academic subjects, Gobind Rai grew to become an exceptionally competent leader. Ruling during a period of hostility between the Sikh community and the Mughal Empire, he personally lead the Sikh community in an extended war against them, and won many battles in his lifetime.
He is well known for his many contributions to the development of the Sikh faith. Chiefly among them is the foundation of the Khalsa community. He did so by gathering the Sikh community at a festival and asking for volunteers prepared to sacrifice their heads. Five men volunteered, one after the other, but the Guru revealed he had no intention of killing them. Instead, he named them the Panj Pyare (five beloved ones) and baptised them as the first of the Khalsa, making them warriors expected to draw their swords in defense of oppressed peoples everywhere, as well as beginning the tradition of baptised Sikhs being named Singh (for men) or Kaur (for women). After initiating them, the Guru had them initiate him, and so he formally became known as Guru Gobind Singh.
Guru Gobind Singh was also a master archer. One tale narrates how an army was sent by Aurangzeb to surround the city of Anandpur Sahib, where the Guru and others were staying at the time. As two of the army’s generals Zabardast Khan and Wajir Khan, sat down to play a game of chess, Guru Gobind Singh shot an arrow into the leg of their chessboard from far away. Members of the army instantly recognised Gobind Singh’s distinctive gold arrowheads, and claimed he must have been the shooter. The generals dismissed this, believing none could shoot from so far away. They were also under the impression that the shooter had missed, until a second arrow landed in the same place as the last, this time carrying a message. It explained that Gobind Singh had no intention of killing them with his arrows, and had merely shot as a message; to demonstrate the resolve and skill of the Sikh people, and their intention to not surrender here.
Servant Personality: Guru Gobind Singh is a compassionate and pious man. In line with his Sikh beliefs, he only ever waged war in self defense, refusing to attack first even when an army stood directly before him. His arrows contained gold not as a vanity piece but so that those hit with his arrows might be recompensed to some degree, either being able to sell the gold for medicine if wounded or for the gold to go to their families should they die. While a devout Sikh, Gobind Singh did not hesitate to make changes where he thought things could be done better. Originally, every Sikh community was led by a person known as a Masand. Believing the Masands to have grown corrupt, Gobind Singh abolished their positions and replaced them with a centralized system under his Khalsa.
