Tenth Guru's Philosophy
Tenth Guru's Philosophy
The relevance of the Tenth Guru's Philosophy
Guru Gobind Singh's philosophy
Portrays the Sikh thought and life
That evolved over two centuries time
From Guru Nanak to Guru Arjun Dev
Sikh Gurus were preaching saints
Of righteous living, chanting, and sharing
No concern for any martial power
The martyrdom of Guru Arjun Dev
Highlighted the need for fighting spirit,
The need to defend righteous faith
By armed saints and followers
Sixth Guru Hargobind started practice
Of keeping army and ammunitions, adorned
The two swords of power and priesthood
Message to defend your faith yourself
He also fought wars in his guruship
The martial spirit of Sikhs in its infancy
That kept developing furthermore
Till culmination of creation of Khalsa
On the Vaisakhi of the year 1999
Guru Gobind Singh defined Sikhs
To become saint soldiers and
Stamped them as the pure or Khalsa
