  • Sources for the Study of Gurū Gobind Singh's Life and Times
    G.S. Mann: Sources for Study 229 Sources for the Study of Guru Gobind Singh's Life and Times Gurinder Singh Mann University of California, Santa Barbara ___________________________________________________________ This essay surveys the sites, artifacts, and literary texts associated with Guru Gobind Singh's period (1675-1708). In the process, it introduces a set of sources of information as well as attempts at reorientation of the context that produced them. In a brief conclusion, the essay highlights the need for expanding and revising the current understanding of the Guru's life. ___________________________________________________________ The present day understanding of Guru Gobind Singh's life is constructed around three landmarks: his birth in Patna in eastern India, in 1666; his creation of the Khalsa ("Community of the Pure") at Anandpur, in the Punjab hills, in 1699; and his replacement of the office of the personal Guru with the Granth, the Sikh scripture, thereby elevating it to the position of the Guru Granth ("Book manifested as the Guru") at the time of his death, in Nanderh in south India, in 1708.1 The details that fill in the forty-two years of the Guru's life are culled from a variety of texts, which begin with the Dasam Granth ("the tenth book" or "book of the tenth [Guru]"), an anthology of poetry created largely between 1685 to 1698, and Sri Gur Sobha ("Praise of the Guru"), a poetic history of the period presently dated in 1711, and include eighteenth and nineteenth century writings culminating in Giani Gian Singh's synthetic narrative, Tvarikh Guru Khalsa ("History of the Guru Community"), completed in 1891.2 (For a brief review of this chronology of events see Appendix).
