Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji

Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the tenth and final human guru of the Sikhs. Like Guru Hargobind before him, he became Guru at a tender age when his father was executed. In the face of escalating persecution, he realized it was time to end human Guruship of the Sikhs. A human Guru is vulnerable, but the teaching and the community are not. So he established the Guru Granth Sahib (the scripture of the Sikhs) and the Khalsa (the community of initiated Sikhs) as the final Guru of the tradition, investing them with the light of Nanak that he carried.
