1635 : Sain Mia Mir passed away at Lahore.( SIAN MIAN MIR was an exemplary and accomplished saint who was a close associate of Guru Arjun Dev and Guru Har Gobind Sahib. Sian Mia Mir witnessed the torture of Guru Arjan Patshah at the hand of Mughal rulers of the time. He laid the foundation stone of Sri Harmandir Sahib that is still burried intact.Mian Mir was a descendant of Khalifa Umar. He was born in 1550 at Seesthan but lived in Lahore for most part of his life. He died on 11 August 1635 in Lahore. His grave is in Hashimpur near Lahore. His famous disciple MullahShah was the Peer for Shahjada Darashikoh.-Ref. Mahan Kosh )1664 : GUR GADHI, Patshahi Ninth, Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji (ACTUAL DATE).Ninth Patshah, Guru Tegh Bahadhur Ji, ascended to Guru Gadhi. (Guru Hargobind had gone to His Heaven Aboard in 1644 and appointed his grandson and Tegh Bahadhur's nephew, Har Rai, as the seventh Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Har Rai died in 1661 and appointed his younger son and Tegh Bahadhur's grand nephew, Har Krishan, as the eight Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Har Krishen's pontificate lasted for only three years. Just before his death in 1664, Guru Har Krishan, on request of the Sikhs, in his semi conscious state, told his followers to go Bakala and anoint his great grand uncle as the next Guru of the Sikhs. He did not mention any name. The actual words he used were Baba Bakale. To take advantage of this apparent ambiguous pronouncement all the great grand uncles of the Guru rushed to Bakala and declared themselves to be the ninth Guru of the Sikhs.)
==> Guru TEGH BAHADHUR was born on Vaisakh 5 sunmat 1672 (April 1, 1621) to father Sri Guru Har Gobind Patshah and mother Matta Nanaki Ji. He married Srimati Gurjri Ji in Kartarpur on Assu 15 sunmat 1689. On Chaet 24 sunmat 1722 (March 20, 1665), Guru Sahib ascended on Guru Nanak's Gur Gadhi. Guru Sahib traveled the forests of Malwa, Puyadh, Bangar, Purav, Bihar, and Bengal enlightening thousands with his preachings. Guru Sahib's bani is so moving that it can melt the most strong and resistant minds.Guru Sahib bought the land near Satluj from Pahadhi Rajas and established Anandpur City, which is populated with Khalsa members.
