The Ten Gurus & Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee
Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Jee
Although Guru Har Rai Ji was a man of peace he never disbanded the armed Sikh Warriors (Saint Soldiers) who earlier were maintained by his grandfather Guru Hargobind. He always boosted the military spirit of the Sikhs but he never himself indulged in any direct political and armed controversy with the contemporary Mughal Empire. Once on the request of Dara Shikoh (the eldest son of emperor Shahjahan) Guru Sahib helped him to escape safely from the bloody hands of Aurangzebs armed forces during the war of succession.
