He was the second son of the seventh Guru of Sikhs, Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji and Mata Kishan Kaur.

Amidst the insensitivity of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, Guru Sahib himself served sick and poor people day and night without making any distinction between caste or high and low. He gave medicines to the patients and raised their morale.

4. In the Ardas of Sikhism, it is said, ‘Dithi sabhe hurt jaye’, which means ‘whose philosophy removes all sorrows.’ This line is dedicated to Guru Har Kishan Dev Ji. It was believed that the sufferings of the people used to get away from his philosophy.

5. Gurudwara Bangla Sahib: The famous Gurudwara Bangla Sahib of Delhi is built at the same place where Guru Har Kishan Dev ji stayed in Delhi and served the people. The lake of this gurudwara is still famous for its purity and healing properties.

6. ‘Baba Bakay’: Before his death, when he was asked about the next Guru, he only called ‘Baba Bakaye’. With this, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji was recognized as the next Guru, who was doing penance in Bakala village at that time.

The message of selfless service, spiritual knowledge and human welfare by Guru Har Kishan Dev ji, inspires millions of people even today. His life teaches us that not age, but only karma and loyalty decide the greatness of a person.
