Composition of Bani - Guru Tegh Bahadur 2021 Calendar - 11" x 14" Print

Even within the confines of the Delhi jail Guru Tegh Bahadur continued to illuminate the world by writing Gurbani compositions; namely the Salok Mahala Nauvan which is found towards the end of the Guru Granth Sahib. This composition was sent to provide spiritual comfort and instruction to his wife Gujari, his mother Mata Nanaki, and to test his young son Gobind Rai. The composition includes the reply by Gobind Rai, ‘Bal Hoa Bandan Chhutey’, which confirmed to Guru Tegh Bahadur that it was time to pass the title of Guru to Gobind Rai.
