"Peediyon se chali aa rahi thi unke ghar ki yeh pratha,

The Nana unke teesre toh unke pita the chauthe guru,
Khud se khud ka sthan banaya banayi khud ki ek alag pehchaan ,
Aise hi nahi jaane jaate woh hum sab ke panchve Sikh guru gyan.
Din hain shagna da milke nacho aur baato dhero mithai,
Kyunki Aaj hain  Guru Arjun Dev ki punya tithi aayi."


Guru Arjun Dev was born on April 15, 1563, at Goindwal in Punjab. He is the fifth Guru of the Sikhs who became the first martyr of Sikh faith. On June 16 every year, the Martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev is commemorated. In 1581 A.D, the fourth Guru Ramdas, appointed Arjun Dev as the fifth Guru of the Sikhs in his place.

In 1588 A.D, Guru Arjun Dev laid the foundation of Harmandar Sahib known as Golden Temple today. He also invited Mian Mir, a Muslim Saint from Lahore to lay the cornerstone of the foundation of the Harmandar, the current Golden Temple. The doors fixed on the four sides of the building denote its acceptance for all the four castes and religions.

Shri Guru Arjun Dev Ji is recalled for his humbleness and kind nature. He was very calm and saintly person. He compiled the first official edition of the Sikh scripture named the Adi Granth, which later was expanded into the Guru Granth Sahib.

He was born in Goindval, in the Punjab, the youngest son of Bhai Jetha, who later became Guru Ram Das, and Mata Bhani, the daughter of Guru Amar Das. He completed the construction of Darbar Sahib at Amritsar, after the fourth Sikh Guru founded the town and built a pool. Guru Arjun compiled the hymns of previous Gurus and of other saints into Adi Granth, the first edition of the Sikh scripture, and installed it in the Harimandir Sahib.

Guru Arjun reorganized the Masands system initiated by Guru Ram Das, by suggesting that the Sikhs donate, if possible, one-tenth of their income, goods or service to the Sikh organization (dasvand). The Masand not only collected these funds but also taught tenets of Sikhism and settled civil disputes in their region. The dasvand financed the building of gurdwaras and langars (shared communal kitchens).

Guru Arjun was arrested under the orders of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir and asked by him to remove all references to Hinduism and Islam in his book. When he refused to do so, he was tortured and executed in 1606 CE. Historical records and the Sikh tradition are unclear whether Guru Arjun Dev was executed by drowning or died during torture. His martyrdom is considered a watershed event in the history of Sikhism. It is remembered as Shaheedi Divas of Guru Arjun in May or June according to the Nanakshahi calendar released by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee in 2003.

Adi Granth  
According to the Sikh tradition, Guru Arjun compiled the Adi Granth by collecting hymns of past Gurus from many places, then rejecting those that he considered as fakes or to be diverging from the teachings of the Gurus. His approved collection included hymns from the first four Gurus of Sikhism, those he composed, as well as 17 Hindu bards and 2 Muslim bards. The compilation was completed on August 30, 1604, according to the Sikh tradition and installed in the Harmandir Sahib temple on September 1, 1604.

Guru Arjun Dev ji was a prolific poet and composed 2,218 hymns. More than half of the volume of Guru Granth Sahib and the largest collection of hymns has been composed by Guru Arjun Dev. According to Christopher Shackle and Arvind-Pal Singh Mandair, Guru Arjun's compositions combined spiritual message in an 'encyclopedic linguistic sophistication' with 'Braj Bhasha forms and learned Sanskrit vocabulary'.

After Guru Arjun completed and installed the Adi Granth in the Harimandir Sahib, Emperor Akbar was informed of the development with the allegation that it contained teachings hostile to Islam. He ordered a copy to be brought to him. Guru Arjun sent him a copy on a thali (plate), with the following message that was later added to the expanded text:

In this thali (dish) you will find three things – truth, peace and contemplation:
in this too the nectar Name which is the support of all humanity.

The Akbarnama by Abu'l-Fazl Allami mentions that Guru Arjun met the Mughal emperor Akbar and his cortege in 1598. According to Louis Fenech, this meeting likely influenced the development of Sikh manuscriptology and the later martial tradition.

One of the Sikh community disputes following Guru Ram Das was the emergence of new hymns claiming to have been composed by Nanak. According to the faction led by Guru Arjun, these hymns were distorted and fake, with some blaming Prithi Chand and his Sikh faction for having composed and circulated them.[23][76] The concern and the possibility of wrong propaganda, immoral teachings and inauthentic Gurbani led Guru Arjun to initiate a major effort to collect, study, approve and compile a written official scripture, and this he called Adi Granth, the first edition of the Sikh scripture by 1604.  

The composition of both Prithi Chand and his followers have been preserved in the Mina texts of Sikhism, while the mainstream and larger Sikh tradition adopted the Guru Granth Sahib scripture that ultimately emerged from the initiative of Guru Arjun.

We, FamiliaDeYUDKBH, wishes you all a very Happy Guru Arjun Dev Jayanti! May Guru bless you and your family members with a blissful life filled with the light of Guru Sahib’s Wisdom through his words.

"Veeron ke woh veer the jo na haare dushman ki chaal se,
De di apne prano ki ahuti bachane is sansaar ko,
Nek dil woh bade naram the ankhon me the jinki nami,
Neki aur sachai ka path padhaya neev rakhi swaran mandir ki bhi .
Aise the woh veer guru jinka na tha koi bhram,
Dafna na saka unki sikhayi baato ko woh jalim jhangir yatnaye de dekar bhi.
Aise guru ko naman hain dil se hote hain hum natmastak bhi."
