Jahangir maintained his hostility towards the Sikhs, imprisoning Guru Hargobind, the successor of Guru Arjun, for several years.

In 1628, immediately after becoming Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan's forces were ambushed by Sikh rebels, the Emperor organized an assault, which caused almost all the Sikhs, including Guru Hargobind and his mercenaries to flee.

As the Sikh population continued to grow, Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh guru, introduced the word ' gurdwara '.

* Kiratpur Sahib, established in 1627 by sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind ji, near river Sutlej, Ropar District, Punjab, India.

Two kos from Amritsar, it was received by Hargobind, Guru Arjan's young son, accompanied by a large number of Sikhs.

Guru Arjan, Hargobind, Bhai Gurdas and Bhai Buddha now bore the palanquin on their shoulders and marched towards Amritsar, led by musicians, with flutes and drums.

Also in Sikh tradition, the word Khalsa was already adopted by the sixth Guru as the term first appears in a hukmanama ( order ) by Guru Hargobind ( the sixth Guru ) which refers to a sangat as " Guru ka khalsa " (" Guru's Khalsa ").

Baba Gurdita was son of the Sixth Guru Ji, Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji.

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.

Once, while the Guru Har Rai was returning from a tour of the Malwa and Doaba regions, Mohamad Yarbeg Khan, ( son of Mukhlis Khan, who had been killed by Guru Hargobind, when he had led his forces against the Sikh the Guru ) attacked the kafla of the Guru with a force of one thousand armed men.

Guru Hargobind depicted on a mid-nineteenth century miniature.

Guru Hargobind Sahib, ( ) also Saccha Padshah ( " True Emperor ") ( born 5 July 1595 – died 19 March 1644 ).

Guru Hargobind ji excelled in matters of state, and his Darbar ( court ) was noted for its splendour.

Guru Hargobind built a fortress at Amritsar called Lohgarh " Fortress of steel ".

The reasons for Guru Hargobind to arm his followers were many.

The main holy scriptures of the Sikhs is called the Guru Granth Sahib.

On the day of the cremation, the body is taken to the Gurdwara or home where hymns ( Shabads ) from the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Scriptures are recited by the congregation, which induce feeling of consolation and courage.

The ceremony in which the Sidharan Paath is begun after the cremation ceremony, may be held when convenient, wherever the Guru Granth Sahib is present:

A hukam, or random verse, is read from the Guru Granth.

Guru Meditation is an error notice displayed by early versions of the Commodore Amiga computer when they crashed.

When a Guru Meditation is displayed, the options are to reboot by pressing the left mouse button, or to invoke ROMWack by pressing the right mouse button.

The name Gurmukhi is derived from the Old Punjabi term " guramukhī ", meaning " from the mouth of the Guru ".

Gurmukhi is the ecclesiastical script of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the eternal Guru of the Sikhs.

This theory is confusing as Gurmukhi characters have a very close resemblance with " Siddh Matrika " inscriptions found at some sacred wells in Punjab as G. B Singh notes, one being the hathur inscription dating to just before the brith of Guru Nanak.

The opinion given by traditional scholars for this is that as the Sikh holy writings, before they were written down, were uttered by the Gurus, they came to be known as Gurmukhi or the " Utterance of the Guru ".

However, the prevalent view among Punjabi linguists is that as in the early stages the Gurmukhī letters were primarily used by Gurmukhs, literally those who follow or face the Guru, the script came to be associated with them.

It is unclear that Jahangir even understood what a Sikh was, referring to Guru Arjun as a Hindu, who had " captured many of the simple-hearted of the Hindus, and even of the ignorant and foolish followers of Islam, by his ways and manners ... for three or four generations ( of spiritual successors ) they had kept this shop warm.

" The trigger for Guru Arjun's execution was his support for Jahangir's rebel son Khusrau Mirza, yet it is clear from Jahangir's own memoirs that he disliked Guru Arjun before then: " many times it occurred to me to put a stop to this vain affair or bring him into the assembly of the people of Islam.

" Jahangir ordered his execution, but it is unlikely that he also ordered Guru Arjun to be tortured and converted, for two reasons ; one, because we have no other examples from Jahangir's generally tolerant reign to support the idea that he forced people to convert to Islam, and two, because Jahangir makes no note of Guru Arjun's torture, yet cheerfully describes the torture of two other rebels, as well as Guru Arjun's execution.

This is the Gurbani's ( Sri Guru Granth Sahib ) law of karma.

It is often said that the 1430 pages of the Guru Granth Sahib are all expansions on the Mul Mantra.

However there is a strong case for arguing that the Guru Granth Sahib teaches monism due to its non-dualistic tendencies:

The Sikh gurus have described God in numerous ways in their hymns included in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism, but the oneness of the deity is consistently emphasized throughout.

God is described in the Mool Mantar, the first passage in the Guru Granth Sahib, and the basic formula of the faith is:
