'''On September 22''' every year, the [[Sikh|Sikh's]] remember the [[Joti Jot|passing away]] of [[Guru Nanak]], the founder of their religion which is now known as [[Sikhism]]. The contribution of the Guru to our understanding of life and its meaning is immense. Why not learn more about the [[Guru|Guru's]] contributions to [[Sikh]]i and how this has benefited humanity. [[Guru Nanak]] was born on April 15, 1469 but this year (2007), the [[Sikh]]s have chosen November 24 to celebrate this momentous day. Guru ji died on 7 May 1539 and the community has marked September 22 as the day of remembrance.
Every year on 23rd July, the [[Sikh]]s celebrate the birthday of their eighth [[Guru]], [[Guru Har Krishan]] - also fondly called "Bal Guru" ("Child Guru") as Guru ji attained Guruship at a young age of just over 5 years old. Each year during late July, huge celebrations are held at [[Gurdwara]] [[Bangla Sahib]] in [[Delhi]], [[India]] to commemorate this auspicious day. It was at this location in [[Delhi]] where Guru ji stayed at Raja Jai Singh's bungalow during the reign of [[Aurangzeb|Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb]].


[[Guru Nanak Dev]] came into this world at a '''time of extreme doom and gloom''' when the moral standards of the ruling class had vanished; the rulers had no respect for humanity; and law of the jungle prevailed everywhere. Men’s ideas and aspirations were at an all time low. Materialistic wealth, plain greed and illusion of [[Maya]] fascinated the world and led everyone astray. Good acts and righteous behaviour no longer commended themselves to humans. They were burning with ego, pride and had no respected for others. The high and the low forgot their mutual duties. '''Monarchs were unjust''' and the '''nobles were butchers''' who held knives to men’s throats. This was the state of the world when the Guru took birth.
[[Guru Har Krishan]] was born on July 7, 1656 at [[Kiratpur|Kiratpur Sahib]], [[Punjab]], [[India]] and was the second son of [[Guru Har Rai]] and [[Mata Krishan Kaur]] Ji. When the Guru came to [[Delhi]], he stayed at the bungalow of Raja Jai Singh. There was a severe smallpox epidemic and many thousands of people were dying. By Guru's blessing, the pool at [[Bangla Sahib]], which is built at the site of Raja Jai Singh's bungalow provided cure for thousands of suffering people. [[Gurdwara Bangla Sahib]] is thus blessed by the healing powers of this eighth Sikh Guru. The tenth Sikh Guru, [[Guru Gobind Singh]] wrote in his famous "Vaar Sri Bhagauti Ji Ki" – '''"Remember Sri Harkrishan, whose vision dispels all pains"'''.
