Sachae Patshah (SP) Gobind Rai Ji prepared Amrit in Anandpur in 1699. The attendance in the Diwan was about 35 to 40 thousands. The grandeur of SP Gobind Rai Ji's Throne was in a class by itself. The grandeur of this throne was out of this world. SP Gobind Rai Ji came to the Diwan and, unsheathing his sword, spoke in his thundering voice that he needed a head. No questions or hesitation at all, Bhai Dya Ram, a Sobti Khatri from Lahore came forward to SP Gobind Rai Ji. SP Gobind Rai Ji right in front of all, cut off his head from the body in one stroke. Every body present was stunned. Then SP Gobind Raji Ji again thundered and demanded one more head. Right on SP Gobind Rai Ji's call, Dharam Dass, a Jatt from Hastinapur got up, came to SP Gobind Rai Ji, bowed his head and said here is my offering of my head. SP Gobind Rai Ji, again, in one stroke cut off Dharam Dass's head from his body. Now there was a big commotion in the Diwan. But SP Gobind Rai Ji in his thundering voice went on demanding heads, one after the other. Himmat Rai, a water-carrier, Mohkam Chand, a calico printer and Sahib Chand, a barber got up and offered their heads. SP Gobind Rai Ji cut off the heads of these three also. Many from the congregation went to SP Gobind Rai Ji's mother, and narrated the whole happenings in the Diwan to Mata Ji. SP Gobind Rai Ji cleaned up the blood from the five bodies and heads, and even washed the floor, Then SP Gobind Rai Ji stitched one head with other body, one by one. This process took about three hours. Then he covered these dead bodies with white sheets. SP Gobind Rai Ji then took a cauldron made of stone (Remember Christ Jesus putting clean water in seven stone pots at Cana marriage party to prepare New Wine) and put an iron wok, Baata, without handles on top of it. Poured water from River Satluj into the wok and started preparing the "Amrit" (Aab-e-hyat - Elixir of life). SP Gobind Rai Ji kept churning the water with his Double-Edged Sword or Khanda and kept on reciting His Word (Gurbani). This process went on for 1.5 to 2 hours. During this time, Mata Sahib Devan that stands for Holy Spirit from SP Gobind Rai Ji's house came and put some sweets, symbolising “Agape”, the Devine Love in that water. Now the Amrit "Elixir" was ready. From the corpses, he took the covering sheets off. First he sat on the head side of Dya Ram, and poured AMRIT "Elixir" in his mouth, then poured some on his head and sprinkled some on his body, and then he asked the dead body to say "Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh." As if on his SP Gobind Rai Ji's Command, Dya Ram got up and repeated in his bold voice,"Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh." It appeared that in the entire congregation every body was so stunned and as if stopped breathing. There was pin-drop silence. All those present were mesmerized with their SP Gobind Rai Ji's miracle. In the same manner, one after the other, SP Gobind Rai Ji made the other four alive too. Then, he took all five of them inside a tent. After a while SP Gobind Rai Ji along with the five came out. The Five were now wearing Blue coloured new attire of Par Shiv Sena or Khalsa. Those five risen from the dead were standing in a line. Then SP Gobind Rai Ji came in front of them and took the "Bir Asan" (Posture of the brave - kneeling on one knee) and asked for the Amrit "Elixir." At this point, these five asked, what are you offering to get this Amrit "Elixir." Then SP Gobind Rai Ji said that I would sacrifice my parents and my sons for your sake. This is the moral of Amrit that your secular ties are severed as they are on the death of a person. Then these five gave Amrit "Elixir" to SP Gobind Rai Ji, and his name was changed to "Gobind Singh." The word "Singh" that stands for a Lion was attached with other five's too - Dya Singh, Dharam Singh, Himmat Singh, Mohkam Singh and Sahib Singh. After that, thousands took the Amrit "Elixir"
