BIOGRAPHY ON GURU TEGH
BAHADUR
 Guru Tegh Bahadur was the youngest son of
Guru Hargobind, the sixth guru: Guru
Hargobind had one daughter, Bibi Viro, and
five sons: Baba Gurditta, Suraj Mal, Ani Rai,
Atal Rai, and Tyaga Mal. Tyaga Mal was
born in Amritsar in the early hours of 1 April
1621. He came to be known by the name
Tegh Bahadur (Mighty of the Sword), given
to him by Guru Hargobind after he had
shown his valor in a battle against the
Mughals
WORKS OF GURU TEGH
BAHADUR
 Guru Tegh Bahadur contributed many
hymns to Granth Sahib including the Saloks,
or couplets near the end of the Guru Granth
Sahib. Guru Tegh Bahadur toured various
parts of the Mughal Empire and was asked
by Gobind Sahali to construct several Sikh
temples in Mahali. His works include 116
shabads, 15 ragas, and his bhagats are
credited with 782 compositions that are part
of bani in Sikhism.
GURU TEGH BAHADUR JOURNEY
 Guru Tegh Bahadur traveled extensively in
different parts of the country,
including Dhaka and Assam, to preach the
teachings of Nanak, the first Sikh guru. The
places he visited and stayed in became sites
of Sikh temples.

spread the Sikh ideas and message, as well
as started community water wells and
langars (community kitchen charity for the

HIS CONFLICTS WITH MUGHALS
 Padshah Burranji (c. late seventeenth century) prob. remains
the earliest source to chronicle the contestations between
Aurangzeb and Guru — it portrayed Tegh Bahadur as a migrant
plunderer, commandeering a force of thousands. Acting upon
the complaint of Brahmins and Qazis, Aurangzeb had issued
summons but on being met with defiance, he had Tegh Bahadur
forcibly captured and scheduled for execution. However, Ram
Singh I saved him — he became the Guru's personal surety
and brought him to his territory, only for the Guru to flee away.
Aurangzeb took much umbrage at Ram Singh I but did not
punish him; instead, he was sent for an expedition to Assam.
 The Burranji does not mention of what happened to Tegh
Bahadur afterwards; he, very likely, resumed on an eastward
journey. It is not very clear why the Mughals did not mount
further assaults.
HIS LEGACY AND
MEMORIALS
 Guru Har Gobind was Guru Tegh Bahadur's father. He was
originally named Tyag Mal (Punjabi: ਤਿਆਗ ਮਲ) but was later
renamed Tegh Bahadur after his gallantry and bravery in the
wars against the Mughal forces. He built the city of Anandpur
Sahib and was responsible for saving a faction of Kashmiri
Pandits, who were being persecuted by the Mughals.
 After the execution of Tegh Bahadur by Mughal Emperor
Aurangzeb, a number of Sikh temples were built in his and
his associates' memory. The Gurdwara Sis Ganj
Sahib in Chandni Chowk, Delhi, was built over where he was
beheaded. Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib, also in Delhi, is
built on the site of the residence of a disciple of Teg
Bahadur, who burned his house to cremate his master's
body.
