Guru Teg Bahadur was born in Amritsar, India, on April 18, 1621. The name Teg Bahadur, means mighty of the sword and was given by his father, Guru Hargobind, after showing unimaginable valor in a the battle of Kartarpur against the Mughals. As a child, Guru Teg Bahadur was trained in the martial-arts of archery, horsemanship, and swordsmanship.
He learned the classics of Gurmukhi, Hindi, and Sanskrit. Extended periods of time in seclusion and meditation are said to have given him a deep mystical temperament. Around 1640, Guru Teg Bahadur, his wife Mata Gujri, and his mother Nanaki, the wife of Guru Hargobind moved as a family to the village of Bakala in Amritsar. There, Guru Teg Bahadur meditated for 27 years in an underground cell leaving the community with 21 imposters proclaiming to be the 8th Gurus’ successor. When the time was right he was found by Makhan Shah who publicly proclaimed he had found the 9th Guru. He is known and beloved for his defense of the Hindu community before the tyrant kings of the Moghul Court.
