Breaking the potsherd of his body head on the king of Delhi (Aurangzeb), He left
for the abode of the Lord. None could perform such a feat as that of Tegh

The whole world bemoaned the departure of Tegh Bahadur.
While the world Lamented, the Gods hailed his arrival in heavens. ॥16॥

Bahadar Ji) were also trying to gain Gurgaddi with

 Meeting with Aurangzeb
It appears that during the meeting Aurangzeb has formed his opinion that Guru Tegh
Bahadur’s mission poses threat to his rule in India and his plan to convert Hindus to Muslim
religion. However, he did not do any harm to Guru at this stage.
From Delhi Guru Teg Bahadar Sahib Ji continued his journey towards Eastern states of India
(UP, Bihar, Bengal, and Assam). He visited Hindu’s religious places and stayed at Mathura,
Agra , Itawa, Kanpur, Allahabad, Banaras , Sasaram , Gaya and Patna.
Note:
Guru Tegh Bahadar Ji’s met Aurangzeb in Delhi on 11 Nov 1665. Martyrdom date of Guru ji is
11 Nov 1675. Aurangzeb had issued order for his arrest and execution before he left to
suppress revolt and was at Hasan Abdal on the date of Guru’s martyrdom. Some historians
have got confused with the dates (11 Nov) and have erroneously recorded that Aurangzeb
was in Delhi at the time of Guru’s martyrdom.
 Mughal’s plan to invade Ahom (Assam) kingdom
• Mughal's were facing revolt in North East part
of India. Missions to N/E were generally
considered to be very challenging.
• The people of Ahom were known to be
practicing “Black Magic” tricks. Mughal’s
believed that the Commander of previous
mission Mir Jumla had scumbled to the black
magical powers of Ahom.
• Aurangzeb dispatched Mirza Raja Ram Singh
to invade Ahom kingdom. It is said that this
was a sort of punishment to him since, Shivaji
(Maratha King) escape from his father’s
custody in 1666.

Tegh Bahadur Ji brokered peace between Ahom Kingdom and Mughal’s
• Guru Teg Bahadur Ji mediated and brought peace
between the Mughal forces led by Raja Ram Singh and
Ahom Kingdom. Guru Ji made a line on the battle
ground with his dagger and addressed both parties
that defining line of their kingdom is on either side.
Both accepted and bloodshed was avoided. That
agreement remained in force till British took over
Assam in their fold.
• From there Guru Ji moved further to meet Sikh Sangat
at Dhubri in Assam. It was at this place, he got the
news of birth of his son Gobind Rai ( Singh).
• Guru Teg Bahadur Ji was getting news of worsening
political situation in the North and decided to return
to Punjab from there. He returned to Patna in quick
time.

Since the Brahmins were the leaders of all the Conversion of the
Brahmins will lead to everyone else’s conversion to Islam. This being
the declared policy of the Emperor Aurangzeb, And being
threatened by it, the Brahmins came to seek his protection. (23)
If Guru Tegh Bahadur was a perfect prophet and a supreme warrior,
Then he must protect all the Hindus of India. Otherwise they would
name him (Guru Tegh Bahadur) to be converted first, After him,
they would voluntarily embrace Islam. (24)
They entreated him to pick up a sword like a brave Kshtriya, And
win the hearts of all the Hindus of the whole country. As Guru Tegh
Bahadur alone had lots of financial resources, And unlimited
spiritual powers to combat this challenge. (25)
Dohra : The Hindus were ten times more in numerical strength,
Than that of Muslims in the whole of India (Hindustan). If Guru
Tegh Bahadur picked up a sword against the Muslims, All the Hindus
would rally round him in this fight. (26)

• Whichever sword he may choose to severe his head with, But will
it not be a miracle if it failed to cut through his throat. So he
might arrange for the sharpest sword for executing him, Because
an ordinary sword used for daily executions might not work. (51)
• Dohra : After addressing the emperor in these words, Guru Tegh
Bahadur sat on the executioner’s slab after ablutions. Guru Tegh
Bahadur made the executioners’ sword just touch his head, But it
was just a ploy to hoodwink the authorities (52).
• Chaupai : Thus Guru Tegh Bahadur made the supreme sacrifice
without compromising his dignity, And protected both his religion
as well its practices. Not only he saved his body from being sewn
in raw leather, But also laid the blame of execution squarely on
the Muslims. (53)
• The foolish Muslim rulers did not realize their stupidity, That the
Guru was determined to lay the blame on their head. Thus, Guru
Tegh Bahadur had made the supreme sacrifice, He had sacrificed
his life for the protection of others’ rights. (54)
 Martyrdom to save Hindu religion
• At Agra he offered his arrest and he was
taken to Delhi by Kotwal Nizam Safi Khan
and Kiledar Mulatfat Khan.
• Bhai Mati Das ji, Bhai Dyala Ji and Bhai
Sati Das Ji were also taken in custody.
• Guru Ji told Bhai Uda ji and Bhai Gurditta Ji

manage situation in Delhi after their arrest
and inform Anandpur Sahib.

 Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji’s Martydom
(11 November1675)
• As per order of Aurangzeb, Emperor’s, his
ministers now resorted to torture.
• Guru Sahib was kept in chains and
imprisoned in an iron cage . This iron cage
was specially made to torture Guru Sahib
as it was shorter than Guru Sahib's height
and had sharp spikes pointing inwards so
that Guru Sahib could neither stand upright
nor lean against the walls of the cage.
• William Irvine* states that Guru Tegh
Bahadur was tortured for many days while
being asked to abandon his faith and
convert to Islam; he stood by his
convictions.

Sri Guru Gobind Singh wrote in `Bachittar Natak` his autobiography about this
supreme sacrifice by Guru Tegh Bahadar Ji .

ਬਿਲਰ ਜਿੰ ਿੂ ਰਾਖਾ ਿਭ ਿਾ ਰਾ ॥ ਰੀਨੋ ਡੋ ਰਲੂ ਮਬਹ ਸਾਰਾ ॥

ਸਾਧਨ ਹੇਬਿ ਇਿੀ ਬਜਬਨ ਰਰੀ ॥ ਸੀਸੁ ਦੀਆ ਰ ਸੀ ਨ ਉਚਰੀ ॥13 ॥
ਧਰਮ ਹੇਬਿ ਸਾਰਾ ਬਜਬਨ ਰੀਆ ॥ ਸੀਸੁ ਦੀਆ ਰ ਬਸਰਰੁ ਨ ਦੀਆ ॥
ਨਾਟਰ ਚੇਟਰ ਰੀਏ ਰੁਰਾਜਾ ॥ ਭ ਲੋ ਗਨ ਰਹ ਆਿਿ ਲਾਜਾ ॥ 14 ॥
He protected the forehead mark and sacred thread (of the Hindus) which marked
a great event in the kali age for the sake of saints, he laid down his head without
even a sigh. 13.
For the sake of Dharma, he sacrificed himself. He laid down his head but not his
creed. The saints of the Lord abhor the performance of miracles and
malpractices. 14.
What Historians says about this martyrdom
Macaliff: The sacrifice by Guru Tegh Bahadar has
no parallel in the history of world. This is unique
as this was to save a religion which he did not
follow.
Indu Bhushan Banarjee: It was a Self sought
martyrdom to save a section of society who had
no power to save them.
Bhai Nand Lal ji says as a result of martyrdom the
truth survived. It is an unparallel sacrifice for the
freedom to choose and practice religion of one’s
own choice.
One historian has compared Guru ji’s decision to
sacrifice himself to save Hindu religion as plight of
a mythological bird “Phoenix” who keeps flying
and when his time comes come to earth collect
fire wood and self immolate it self.

 Hind Ki Chaddar
Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib was an embodiment of sheer courage and bravery. The
martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib is unique in the history of the World.
The history of the world is full of martyrs, but they died for the defence of their own
cause or their faith. But Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib sacrificed his life not for his own faith,
but for the defence of the oppressed people and for freedom to practice one’s own
faith.
